This is a video of a group of dolphins swimming through bioluminescent plankton in Newport Beach, California and leaving trails behind them wherever the plankton is disturbed. Pretty trippy, right? It’s like Avatar but in real life. Somebody call James Cameron, tell him I’m sorry for never seeing Avatar, but 3D glasses give me a headache. “You know you could have seen it in 2D.” Dammit James I already said I was sorry, just drop it.

Keep going for the full video.

Previously leaked by The New York Times and a private company started by Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge *spit-takes Natty Light being drank by 10th grade me*, the United States Department Of Defense has just officially declassified three previously top secret (couldn’t have been that top secret!) videos of UFOs captured by Navy pilots. Some more info while I listen to Dude Ranch:

DOD [Department of Defense] is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos. The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as ‘unidentified’.

Man, how excited the pilots (who are undoubtedly familiar with everything there is to see in the sky) sound in the videos is just proof what they saw was something very out of the ordinary. Now I’m not saying aliens, but I’m also not NOT saying aliens, know what I mean? “You’re saying aliens.” There’s no question in my mind. I mean if you don’t believe aliens don’t already walk among us, then you obviously don’t live in my neighborhood. They’re not even good at hiding it.

Keep going for the three videos.

This is a video from Youtuber DiamondGB from a bygone era known as the late 90’s as he Netscape Navigates his way through the series of tubes on April 4th, 1998. Some more info and timestamps while I try to remember 1998 but fail because I was born in a top secret government lab at age 26:

One day almost 13 years ago I just decided to fill a VHS tape with me using the internet. I’ve edited out a lot of even more boring bits of this video, you’re not missing much. I’ve uploaded this to show to friends, but it’d be cool if more people find something they enjoy here.

9:07 I go to IGN64.com looking up news on the upcoming Zelda64

Recorded on a Pentium 2 300MHz with 16MB RAM and a Canopus Pure 3D Voodoo1 card via S-Video out.

Man…going to IGN to look up the latest news on the upcoming Zelda game (Ocarina Of Time), it’s crazy to think that was 22 years ago. The internet sure has changed, hasn’t it? 22 years — wow. I mean I have two dogs younger than that, you know? “Huh?” I love them. “Okay…” They’re my everything.

Keep going for a slow-speed trip down memory lane. Also, I like how he loads up the Legend Of Zelda theme midi to get hyped before visiting IGN.

This is a short video from of a McLaren 600LT driver, who clearly has more money than sense (how did you make your money, anyways? I’m not that bright either but I’d love to be rich), driving their ~$260,000 sports car into heavy flooding and floating off toward Pennywise’s storm sewer. Honestly, if I had some rear-wheel drive luxury sports car I wouldn’t even take that thing out if there was rain in the forecast for the next week. I mean I already fishtail enough and I drive a near powerless front-wheel drive Mitsubishi Mirage. I lost a drag race to my brother last weekend and he was on a Huffy.

Keep going for the whole video in high quality, complete with commentary.

This is another size comparison video from Meta Ball Studio (previously), this time visually comparing the sizes of various fictional land-based vehicles. It was actually fun to watch. Still, of all the giant movie vehicles to not include, I was more than a little disappointed that– “No, they didn’t forget your penis.” Well it might have never seen a nationwide release, but you of all people should know it’s certainly had more than a few local showings. “One-and-a-half stars.” Honey!

Keep going for the video.

This is the music video for The Treble’s ‘No Secrets (There For You)’, which pays tribute to all the classic 1980’s music videos. Can you name them all? I recognized a few of them. Not all of them though, because I was a little old in the 80’s to be listening to all the weird new music on MTV. “Jesus, GW, just how old are you?” Honestly, I stopped counting or celebrating birthdays when I hit the mid-700’s. “Dammit, not with the undead warlock shit again.” You think I wanted this life?! Everyone I’ve ever loved is dead! “You killed them!” That doesn’t make me any less lonely.

Keep going for the video.

These are two videos made by informative motion graphics creator Dr. James O’Donoghue (previously) detailing each of our solar system’s planets rotational speed relative to the others, both as projected onto a sphere, and in flat 2-D form and all traveling in the same direction. As you can see — “Uranus looks backwards.” It’s called a front-butt. And my gym’s been closed for two months, okay?

Keep going for the videos.

This is the $54 Victorinox Cheese Master, a knife designed specifically for wine and cheese use, combining the very important utility of a fondue fork with that of a bottle opener, wavy edge blade, corkscrew, tweezers, toothpick, and cheese blade. Just think — you’ll be the talk of the next picnic! Granted it might be behind your back and not all positive, but still.

Keep going for a few more shots and a promo video for all you aspiring Cheese Masters out there.

To celebrate the franchise’s 35th anniversary, this is a video of Youtuber and Rubik’s Cube art maker BigWendy in a stop motion tribute to Super Mario she made with 500 Rubik’s Cubes over the course of a week. Now that — that is a lot of cubes. But that is not a lot of shorts. Balance, you know? Yin and yang.
