This is ‘Nanoscapes’ a short video shot by Kristina Dutton featuring butterfly wings captured with an electron microscope at magnifications up to 50,000X. That’s some series magnification. Most of the time I wasn’t even sure what I was looking at. “Butterfly wings.” I like you, I really do, but you

This is a video of Nissan France setting the world record for highest bungee jump for a car, dropping a Nissan Qashqai e-Power from a height of 65m (213’3″). At first I thought it was lame because I assumed there wasn’t a driver inside, but I was wrong. Then I

I’ve heard you were supposed to do this, but does anybody actually? My guess is only Alana, who I suspect is far less messy than she leads on. Still, I

Because the internet can occasionally be a delightful, magical place, this is a video of Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder singing ‘Yellow Ledbetter’ and it sounding a lot like these random LinkedIn profile members’ names. It’s wild that people come up with stuff like this, and even wilder they actually spend
