This is a video from an aquarium where the audience is anxiously awaiting a penguin’s dive into the water from a suspended ramp when the bird slips and falls into the drink instead. Honestly, I doubt even a cartoon penguin could make a more comical scene, I don’t care how
This is a video of Youtuber Inheritance Machining creating a Mobius cube — a cube that, like it’s Mobius strip cousin, only has a single side. My brain hurts just thinking about it. I remember the first time I saw M.C. Esher’s Mobius Strip II (with the red ants) I
This is a video of concert organist Felix Hell performing a tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach on the largest musical instrument in the world, the Boardwalk Hall Auditorium pipe organ in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The organ contains 33,451 pipes, weighs over 150 tons, and is also the loudest instrument
This is a Guinness World Record video highlighting the tongue of a St. Bernard named Mochi, who was just awarded the record for longest dog tongue. You may recall the recently posted record holder for largest circumference human female tongue. It’s a world record tongue kind of week. Next week:
This is a video captured aboard a Varda space capsule launched by SpaceX that’s reentering the earth’s atmosphere at around Mach 25, or around 17,500MPH. That’s fast. Varda developed the W1 capsule for companies that want to test or manufacture in space (in this case, drug manufacturing in zero-gravity). The
This is a VERY rough timelapse of the lifecycle of a giant owl butterfly as captured in a human hand. The video begins with a tiny egg, proceeds to several stages of caterpillar growth before a chrysalis, and, finally, a butterfly. Man, I can’t wait for my own metamorphosis. It
These are two videos of Paris circa the 1920’s that have been restored, stabilized, colorized, and remastered at 60FPS. The first predominately features famous buildings and monuments, and the second one more human activity. They were a trip to watch. To think that this was captured over 100 years ago.
Because Mother Nature never ceases to amaze (I once saw her ride a mechanical bull upside down waving her legs like arms), this is a timelapse video of a stick insect molting its old skin. It’s so crazy to think this is the process that evolution developed over tens of
