This is a video created by Joseph of Joseph’s Machines (previously) in collaboration with Dr. Squatch hand soaps of the automatic hand washing machine he constructed (not actually a Rube Goldberg machine because it’s powered). Does it look like a medieval torture device? Kind of. I especially liked the stuffed

A partnership between Anchorage Solid Waste Services and the Alaska Zoo, this is a video of a group of Kodiak bears testing the bear-resistance of a new trash can. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the cans stand little chance against the massive 700+ pound bears. These aren’t those bears in the commercials that

This is an Architectural Digest tour of Casa Organica, the home built by architect Javier Senosiain of Aquitectura Organica for himself in 1984. And what a home it is! Calling it a hobbit house doesn’t really do it justice because it’s so much more, I was just trying to be

Because bad ideas come in all shapes and danger sizes, this is a video of Australian Youtuber I Did A Thing building and testing a propane pulsejet-powered swing set. The sound it makes as it goes around is nuts. Unfortunately (but probably actually fortunately for them), the swing is only
