Months in the making, this is a video of KaplaBen building and demolishing an ~18,000 Kapla block tower. Ben says he began construction in November 2024 and completed it in April 2025. Amazing nobody snuck in and knocked it over in that time. The tower is the third prototype Ben
This is a timelapse video of a powerful supercell thunderstorm in Oklahoma captured by storm chaser Chad Casey earlier this week. With the storm above and all those blinking red lights below it looks like a modern day Mordor. And maybe it is, I’ve never been to Oklahoma. It definitely

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
