This is a 33-minute compilation video of over 250 R/C plane crashes all recorded by Youtuber xjet over the course of the past ten years. Man, that is a lot of crashing and burning for one person to witness in real life. I mean I’ve seen way more first person POV style, but I was not the lady’s man you might think when I was in college. So what was your favorite? My was 158. “But they aren’t numbered.” I know, but I have a numerographic memory. “Huh?” Okay okay — you ever seen Sesame Street? Count von Count bit me when I was four.

Keep going for way more than your RDA of crashing and burning.

This is yet another nature video from David Weiller (previously), this time starring a hawkmoth caterpillar of the Sphingidae family, which has the ability to inflate its head to look like a badass snake’s if threatened by a potential predator like a bird or lizard. How about that! Me? Whenever I feel threatened I just curl up in a ball and *waving wand* cast my patronus charm. “What, uh, what animal is that?” I’m not sure, but a lot of times it appears stuck on its back and I get my ass kicked.

Keep going for the video, but the gif is probably sufficient.

This is a video of the fun-loving mechanics at Russian Youtube channel Garage 54 outfitting a Hummer H2 with 13-inch rims. Why? Because why not? So, if you saw this cruising down the street beside you, what do you think it would say about the man driving it — small penis, big balls? Average penis? Colossal everything? “Botched penis enhancement surgery, eventually replaced with a short length of exhaust pipe.”*closing CarMax browser window* Well that is not the image I’m going for.

Keep going for the video.

This is a video of a Taekwondoin performing a 720-degree spinning kick and successfully breaking four boards in the process. Should he be disqualified for breaking the first board before his other foot leaves the ground? Personally I wouldn’t argue with him about it, especially not after that triumphant scream of his. Also I like how the highest board holder is sitting on another dude’s shoulders. It’s crazy to think there was a time not so long ago when we were allowed to be close enough to rest your junk on the back of another man’s neck. I hope we can get back there.

Keep going for the full video so you can slow down the speed while I tweak my ankle dismounting the sofa.

This is some footage of Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela conductor Gustavo Dudamel edited by Frederik V Thelander with animations that coincide with his very animated style of conducting movement. The result, well, the result is exactly what the internet was made for. “Actually, what I–” DAMMIT AL, FOCUS ON CLIMATE CHANGE.

Keep going for the whole video while at least two people write me arguing Al Gore didn’t invent the internet because they’re on the wrong side of history.

Keep going for the video with a smoother frame rate and audio if you care. Also if anybody in the know wants to shed some more light on this marvel of modern technology, I’m down to listen. Or at least pretend.

This is a short video of Youtuber StupotMcDoodlepip (sounds right) assembling and demonstrating his laser-powered social distancing helmet that displays a six-foot circle around himself so others know if they’re getting too close. Plus it looks sweet. I mean if you can’t get laid wearing one of these things you must be living in self-quarantine without an already existing romantic partner, am I right?

Keep going for the full video, which is mostly assembly.

This is a video from a skier’s 360-degree Go-Pro helmetcam as he’s rapidly approached and caught in an avalanche. Some more info directly from him while I call my mom and promise her she never has to worry about me falling prey to an avalanche because I would never put myself in that situation. And also try to borrow $40:

“Here is the avalanche that happened to me with an impressive speed without my seeing it. It was in March 2020 in France. It was a mix between a windstorm that lifted me and a huge ocean wave that shook me all over the place. I was very scared, the reflex of pulling on the handle of my airbag saved my life. This avalanche was triggered by a person at the top of the mountain who did not wait for me to finish my off-piste descent and who did not come to my rescue by following. It is an experience that I will never forget.”

Yeah, I’d say getting caught in an avalanche is definitely an experience you’ll never forget.
I mean it wasn’t a neighbor’s kid’s birthday party — you almost died. Hey bro, remember that time you were caught in avalanche? “Holy shit man, I almost forgot!” I mean you’ll probably be telling this story every time you go to a bar, embellishing it more and more each time until it ends with you banging a Yeti in a snow cave waiting for the A-Team to arrive.

Keep going for the full video.

This is a timelapse video of a tank of mealworms eating a McDonald’s Big Mac and fries over the course of five days. Honestly, I expected them to make quicker work of the meal (it’s called fast food!), and I’m starting to worry maybe mealworms weren’t the best option for helping me dispose of this body. Haha, did I say body? I meant– “Use tigers.” Carole Baskin, everybody!

Keep going for the video, but make sure to watch in HD or it just looks like a scrambled cable channel.

This is the aerial helicopter footage of Arizona police following a Smart Car after the driver fled when they tried to question him following a “screaming and yelling” incident in a Walmart parking lot. Oh I’m sorry, but since when is it illegal to scream and yell in a Walmart parking lot? *angrily slamming shopping cart into cart return* THIS IS MY GOD-GIVEN RIGHT.

The driver of the Smart car reportedly refused to pull over, ran multiple red lights, and got on I-17 heading west towards Phoenix. In the interest of public safety, the Department of Public Safety then decided to call off the ground pursuit, leaving the driver to think they had gotten away, at least temporarily.

At some point, however, police resumed the chase because once the fleeing Smart reached I-10 and Watson some 30 miles away from Phoenix’s city center, the mild goose chase came to an end with a PIT maneuver, leaving the tiny, silver Fortwo stopped on the side of the road facing the wrong direction, surrounded by several police SUVs

Man — they PIT maneuvered the Smart Car? I’m surprised it didn’t just disintegrate. Also I like all the tractor trailers passing the car, and that truck hauling the RV. Allegedly the top speed of this particular model Smart Car is 96MPH, but I can’t imagine as a driver that at any speed over 88MPH you won’t just time travel to your death.

Keep going for three videos (one shorter, one medium length, one long form), but really just CLICK HERE to watch the Benny Hill version.

This is a short slow motion video of an alpaca in the early morning sunlight where the sun’s rays catch its frosty breath just right to make it appear as if it’s breathing fire Game Of Thrones dragon style. Pretty crazy, right? Perhaps even crazier is just how early this alpaca farmer gets high in the morning.

Keep going for the full video.

This is a short gender reveal video of some jabroni with a baseball bat and the mother-to-be standing entirely too close to a slugger like Mark McGuire here, apparently anxious to reveal that she’s got a headache now. The family seems excited that it’s a boy though. Also, you have to admire the courage it took the friend or family member who filmed this video to post it to the internet for everybody to see. It’s called God’s work, and it’s nice to see some people besides me still believe in doing it.

Keep going for the video with a higher frame rate, and audio while I speculate why he seems less concerned with his wife’s head than double-checking if his pop fly to the doghouse cleared the neighbor’s fence.

This is a video of the latest and most advanced production model F-15E Strike Eagle (the F-15QA, presumably for Question and Answer and not because it was manufactured for Qatar) performing a near-vertical ‘Viking Takeoff’ during its first test flight from St. Louis’s Lambert International Airport. Why is it called a viking takeoff? I don’t know, and I even tried doing research. “You made one Google search and spelled ‘viking’, ‘vibing’.” If there was something out there it would have turned up.

Keep going for the highway to the danger zone while I imagine pulling those G’s and passing out so hard I sleep like Rip Van Winkle.

In absolutely just watch it news, this is a video from the folks at Realm Pictures (of people in Chatroulette controlling first person shooters via voice commands and people playing live action Hitman fame), who created a real life RPG game for their buddy whose stag (bachelor) party was cancelled due to the coronavirus quarantine. I’m not sure if you remember their other videos (which are worth a watch if you don’t remember them, and even if you do), but the results are incredible. Such high production value. It sucks I don’t have talented friends who love me and want to make my bachelor party a lifelong memory. “Or a girlfriend foolish enough to marry you.” Hey I have a plan. “Does it involve a witch in the swamp brewing a love potion?” Hey I have a backup plan too. “Does it involve the same witch but a spell this time?” You’re a jerk!

Keep going for the very worthwhile video.
