Despite what your eyes are telling you, the blue and red LEGO space explorer minifigs in this image are the exact same size. Mathematician Henry Segerman shows how perspective and a custom 3D-printed structure produce this mind-bending optical illusion.

Artist Kendra Norton’s unique coloring book has no outlines for you to color in. Instead, it’s filled with abstract blobs of color, and you draw the lines. Whether you doodle dinosaurs, flowers, buildings, or goldfish, go where your imagination takes you. In addition to the original, there are also Through the Seasons and Mindful Journeys editions.

The Johnny Cash version of Nine Inch Nails’ Hurt will go down in history as one of the greatest covers of all time. That version served as the inspiration for Hildegard von Blingin’s medieval take on the track. It’s every bit as much of a gut-punch as the previous versions, only with more harp.

Eiger Tools’ wallet-size caliper is thinner than most credit cards and can easily measure an object’s inside or outside diameter.

Shane at Stuff Made Here wanted to see if he could program a robot with such accurate penmanship that it could fool a handwriting expert. He used an off-the-shelf X/Y plotter, then wrote software to convert typed words into pen strokes that mimic human writing. He also programmed a robot arm to place and stack multiple postcards.

It also keeps track of days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millennia, mega-annum, and galactic years. Unfortunately, we’ll never know if it works beyond the 21st century.

We once spotted Katy Perry and hubby Orlando Bloom sneaking into an NCL cruise theater with a sake bottle… which appeared to not be their first of the night. Still, even superstars can’t imbibe 24/7, so we’re not surprised Perry co-founded De Soi non-alcoholic botanical drinks for sober occasions.

Hitting a flying baseball or wiffle ball takes practice, but you can do it with time. With a game against a team of professional wiffle ball players on the line, Mark Rober engineered a cheat to give him a chance.

They dotted the dry lakebed with lights and combined those with video footage to show the passage of time. Download a printable version of their time scale here.

Work Louder’s latest keyboard has hot-swappable mechanical keys along with programmable rotary encoders, quick-access buttons, and a 1.9″ IPS screen that can display widgets to help with focus and time management.

(PG-13: Language) It’s really not a good idea to ride a bike down any number of stairs, but that won’t stop someone like daredevil cyclist Adam Hayward. In this POV clip, he takes us on a ride down a seemingly endless flight of snow-covered steps giggling and giving his body the ultimate shake test all the way down.

This carabiner-style keychain not only keeps your keys accessible but has several useful tools built in. On its body, you’ll find a slotted and Phillips screwdrivers, a bicycle spoke wrench, a metric multi-wrench, a bit holder, and a bottle opener. Made from durable, lightweight titanium.

(PG-13: Language) It’s been a while since we rewatched Breaking Bad. For now, this edit from Diamond Box will have to suffice, capturing three of the most dramatic seconds from every episode of the series. While it doesn’t tell the entire story, it demonstrates the dramatic progression of its characters over its five seasons.

A margarita isn’t a margarita without a salt-rimmed glass to accent the citrus tartness. Think any salt will do? No way, Jose. Tanteo Jalapeño Salt combines grainy salt, sugar, and lime to tease the tongue with salty, sweet, and sour flavors, while a touch of jalapeño powder turns up the heat.

While we prefer fresh-made pizza, a frozen pizza can satisfy hunger in a pinch. Wondastic Tech takes us inside a factory that mass-produces frozen pizzas. First, huge quantities of dough are flattened and cut. One machine squirts out tomato sauce, while others shred mozzarella and drop on toppings. Stick around for a look at a factory that makes honey candies.

The makers of the Hammer Fist claim the compact multitool can drive nails, despite being about the size of a set of brass knuckles. LRN2DIY put the tool to the test to see if it works as well as they say. The big difference between the Hammer Fist and a conventional hammer is that it relies more on your strength than the kinetic energy of a swinging handle.
