Working with Jigsaw

Working with Jigsaw

(PG-13) “You must close all 517 pop-ups using the office’s deadliest computer mouse!” Ever wondered what The Office would’ve been like if Michael Scott was a psychopathic puppet? Chris Capel did. Props for the top notch acting.

Backheel Cross to Scissor Kick Goal

Backheel Cross to Scissor Kick Goal

It’s not on the level of Maradona or Messi’s reincarnated run, Zlatan’s long-range arrogance, or Arsenal’s Wilshere special. But this goal from Spanish soccer squad Las Palmas is also one for the ages. The build-up, the pass, the shot. It’s all here.

How Vacuum Decay Would Suck

How Vacuum Decay Would Suck

“Imagine it like setting a sea of gasoline the size of the universe on fire.” Kurzgesagt sums up vacuum decay, a theoretical catastrophe that would wipe out the universe at the speed of light and reconfigure it into a state where life as we know it would be impossible.

Making a Spear Thrower

Making a Spear Thrower

Primitive Technology spent about a day making a spear thrower. It’s made from a branch that had a smaller branch shooting out of it. The branch’s collar acts as a cup that cradles the spear. It let him throw a spear up to 49ft. away.

Honest Antidepressant Commercial

Honest Antidepressant Commercial

“Maybe if you take Hortiolis, the weather will change. But you know, it won’t.” There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for clinical depression. But as Cracked shows, antidepressant medicines are marketed in the US as if they were simple painkillers.

Jay Leno’s 1960 Panhard PL 17

Jay Leno’s 1960 Panhard PL 17

Jay Leno shows off his Panhard et Levassor 17, a compact six-seater that’s “unusual even for a French car.” It’s unruly at low speeds, but otherwise it’s a beautiful oddball that’s full of personality while remaining practical. Driving footage at 18:37.

Genetic Engineering & Malaria

Genetic Engineering & Malaria

Kurzgesagt presents a vexing conundrum. Scientists have created genetically-engineered mosquitoes that are immune to the microorganisms that create malaria. But we don’t know if letting these “newsquitoes” loose has dire consequences.

Making a Tiled Roof Shed

Making a Tiled Roof Shed

Primitive Technology built a roofed shed so he can store firewood and do other fire-related projects out of the rain. It took him a week to gather the timber and turn them into a frame, three days to make and dry a kiln, and almost a day to make the tiles.

If Drug Companies Were Honest

If Drug Companies Were Honest

1939 Plymouth Radial Air

Jay Leno’s Garage shares one of the most unique vehicles you’ll ever see. This gaspunk beauty is a 1939 Plymouth fitted with a 300hp Cessna engine. It took Gary Corns, his friends and his two sons about 1.5 years to build the racer. It even has a similarly-themed tow truck.

1929 Packard Boattail Speedster

Genetic Engineering Changes Everything

Genetic Engineering Changes Everything

Kurzgesagt takes a look at what seems like science fiction, but could quite possibly revolutionize the world. With the ability to manipulate genes, we could create just about anything we want, from made to order babies, to better foods, to the fountain of youth.

Death from Space

Death from Space

Kurzgesagt’s happy little video looks at the science of Gamma Ray bursts, and how these extraordinarily powerful beams of energy that are capable of ripping apart the very atomic bonds that keep together everything in our universe, including all life on Earth.
