(PG-13: Language) The queen of robot underlords Simone Giertz tamed the plastic hand from her brutal wake-up machine and turned it into her personal shampooer. We hope she doesn’t turn her chopping machine into a hairdresser.

YouTuber Kaplamino added a very creative twist to marble mazes. He incorporated spherical magnets to pull off mechanics that would otherwise be impossible or complicated to set up, such as ricocheting balls and parts that trigger other parts without direct contact.

(Gore, Flashing lights) Claymation master Lee Hardcastle sends his ass-kicking cat up against the forces of hell in this amazing promotional short film for the new DOOM game. Mew mew Mister Falcon.

This cheeky Japanese commercial for Kirin Beer features a modern retelling of Aesop’s fable, The North Wind and the Sun, in which two of nature’s greatest forces compete to make a traveler remove his cloak. Only this time, the traveler is two scantily clad women in bikinis.

Amazing first-person footage of the Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft as it makes its way through Earth’s atmosphere and safely lands on the ground 339,178 feet below. We loved hearing all the sounds it makes on its journey. See just how fast it was coming in here.

Another fantastic and hypnotic LEGO great ball contraption module by builder Akiyuki, his latest machine is designed to pickup tiny LEGO soccer balls and basketballs and put them into planetary orbits. The planetary hemispheres came from various Star Wars sets.

(PG-13: Language) i-D and tattoo artist Grace Neutral explore South Korea’s bizarre conservatism on physical beauty. Plastic surgery is par for the course there, but tattoos are so frowned upon that only doctors are legally allowed to operate tattoo parlors. Part 1 here.

“Whoever scores the celestial dance of the comet most evocatively will be named the Lord of Synth.” Three legendary musicians compete for the coveted title of Lord of Synth in Adult Swim’s awesome parody of synth icons Vangelis, Giorgio Moroder and Wendy Carlos.

(SPOILERS) FilmIsNow got its hands on nearly 9 minutes of footage from the making of Captain America: Civil War. It just goes to show how much is done in post-production these days. We hope they stop with the soap opera-style reaction close ups.

After being abducted by aliens, Kate McKinnon’s hilariously uncouth Ms. Rafferty shares another of her out of body experiences, which is decidedly less awe-inspiring than what her friends encountered after heading towards the light after a car wreck.

(PG-13: Language) Last Week Tonight reminds us to be wary of morning show science, i.e. the kinds of “findings” that mass media often present as facts even though the actual studies were unverified, inconclusive or cherry picked.

(PG-13 Lyrics) Time to get Riggity Riggity Wrecked Son! Mashup master Mylo the Cat perfectly edited together bits of Rick and Morty lip-synced them to the sounds of Kendrick Lamar’s Swimming Pools (Drank). Seriously, this should have been the official music video.

The mighty hydraulic press takes on an army of normal sized gummy bears, then moves on to a boss battle with one of those giant gummies. The end result? A sticky, gooey mess we wouldn’t want to have to clean up.

Musician FreddeGredde continues to do what he does best, turning in a collection of classic theme songs on his acoustic guitar – complete with lyrics. The Jaws and Jurassic Park themes are awesome, though we’re pretty sure Rocky’s Gonna Fly Now already has lyrics.

Meteorologist Reed Timmer’s up close footage of a tornado gathering a massive amount of dust and debris within minutes on 5/7/16 in Wray, Colorado. Fortunately, only five people were injured and there were no casualties reported. 360 video here.

Mr Sunday Movies, YouTuber Oceansparks and Tony Stark himself present a compilation of Shellhead’s killing spree in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He doesn’t top Luke Skywalker’s genocidal record, but he’s a scary dude.

This is probably the closest us muggles will get to playing Quidditch in real life. In this commercial for Colombian telecoms company ETB, a group of skydivers played Hogwart’s dangerous game en route to the ground, complete with brooms and a hoop.

Sam Fankuchen spoke with Petrolicious about his 1970 AMC Jeepster Commando. He loves the classic SUV not only because it’s great for California’s beaches and dirt trails, but also because it lets him connect and hopefully inspire the people he meets on the road.

Did you know that it would literally take you an entire day to ride all of New York City’s subway lines? Or that Wall Street was named after an actual wall? All that and more in Mental Floss’ episode about the Big Apple.

After a long day on your feet, taking your socks off can be a real pain in the butt. Useless Duck Company has created this single-purpose robot which takes care of the task usually reserved for significant others and dogs.

(PG-13) “Beer. Rivers and seas of beer. The radio singing love songs as the phone remains silent. And the walls stand straight up and down, and beer is all there is.” Nerdo’s animated adaptation effectively echoes the late, great Charles Bukowski’s sad poem.

How to Make Everything’s latest project is tequila. While they’re finishing their DIY process, they made this video showing how liquor companies make tequila. It’s made from the blue agave plant, but legally, only those made in Jalisco, Mexico can be called “tequila.”

A wonderful tilt-shifted, time-lapse video which provides a glimpse into the spectacle which is the Mylapore Kapaleeswarar Temple Festival, which takes place in Mylapore, Chennai, India every April. Here we see colorful parade floats moving through throngs of onlookers.
