This is a video of Rube Goldberg machinist Joseph Herscher (previously) demonstrating his Ultimate Snooze Machine 2.0, a machine that repeatedly smacks and whacks a Casetify protected iPhone on its way to getting Joseph out of bed. The machine itself is beautifully crafted, and works flawlessly. I wonder how many

Because space is totally nuts (I know because I’ve been there), this is a timelapse video of the aurora borealis as viewed from the International Space Station. FUN FACT: did you know the Northern Lights are actually the souls of everyone who died recently escaping the planet? Thanks for coming
