There's A Machine For Everything: This Surprisingly Satisfying Carrot Peeler

This is a video of a very impressive carrot peeling machine made and sold by vegetable processing machine manufacturer Sormac. Pretty crazy to watch, right? Even crazier if you can convince yourself those are all penises.

Keep going for the video.

Young Leonard Nemoy Deepfaked As Young Spock In 2009 Star Trek Reboot

This is a video of a young Leonard Nimoy deepfaked as young Spock (originally portrayed by Zachary Quinto) in the 2008 Star Trek reboot, and talking to his older self. Ha, I talk to my older self all the time, even though Doc Brown is always insisting I shouldn’t for fear of creating a time paradox that sets off a chain reaction that unravels the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroys the universe. That guy’s an idiot. “Doc Brown?” No, older me. He doesn’t even bring me winning lotto numbers.

Yikes: Disney's Alternative Baby Yoda Designs For The Mandalorian

baby-yoda-concept-art-1.jpg

This is a small series of concept art created by Disney artists while The Child was being developed for The Mandalorian. As you can see, they definitely chose the best option, and whoever designed the one above should have been fired on the spot and had their handns broken so they can never draw again.

Oh, Internet: 22 Giant Teddy Bears Riding A Roller Coaster Look Alive

This is a video of 22 giant teddy bears riding the UNTAMED (I bet I could tame it easy) roller coaster at the Walibi Amusement Park in The Netherlands to celebrate it’s reopening, and looking very human in the process. Are there actually people inside? Not unless those bears ate them! LOL. But seriously maybe, bears are nuts. Now point me to the carnival games, I’m gonna win one of those giant mammer jammers by catapulting a rubber frog onto a lily pad.

Whee!: Little Bird Rolling And Riding Basketball

This is a video of a little bird (any of you birdwatchers or ornithologists want to identify it?) purposefully rolling a basketball around somebody’s patio and repeatedly trying to ride on top of it. How about that! So, the next time somebody tries to tell you birds aren’t people you can show them this video and tell them “No shit, but they’re still a lot smarter than you are.’ Then grab a weapon and prepare to fight!

Colin Furze Riding Back To The Future II Hoverboard Wearing Arm-Mounted Jetpacks

This is a video of inventor Colin Furze taping a Back To The Future II replica hoverboard to his feet while using Gravity’s arm-mounted jetpack system to actually hover. I mean it’s cool, but if you’d told me in 1989 this would be the closest we’d get to actual hoverboards by the year 2020, there’s no question I would have left for Neverland with Peter Pan when he offered.

Keep going for the video, actual hoverboarding begins around 6:00.

Getting Low: Jet Testing Minimum Catapult Launch Power Needed For Takeoff From Aircraft Carrier

/a>

These are two different videos of a F-35C pilot testing the minimum catapult launch power required for a successful takeoff from an aircraft carrier and almost getting the plane’s toes wet in the process. I thought it was going into the drink, I really did. Some more info while I continue to lie to myself that I could have made it in Top Gun:

Something you don’t see everyday…low energy catapult launch! That sink is scary, but it was a part of the test plan. The folks at PAX River needed to find the lowest amount of energy that the catapult needed in order to safely launch an F-35C…they definitely found it! Through a smart build up and mitigation the test professionals go where others don’t.

Watch the waters part because of the engine exhaust!! You can tell from this angle that the aircraft got close to the water. Remember though, this was a part of the testing and the team had prepared for this moment.

Good Lord. “Well no wonder it dipped so low, that pilot’s balls must be gigantic!” Hey now I’m pretty sure that was sexist, I mean what if this was a female pilot? “I’m surprised her tits fit in the cockpit!” Wow, I’m not sure if that’s better or worse but I’ll definitely be Zooming your parents after class for a behavioral meeting regardless.

Keep going for the videos, including one from below the deck where you can really see how close it gets to the water.

It's Gonna Blow!: Throw Pillow That Looks Like An Expanded Lithium-Ion Battery

lithium-ion-battery-pillow.jpg

This is the throw pillow available from snwball’s Redbubble store that looks like a lithium-ion battery that’s expanded and ready to blow. Available in a variety of sizes from 16″ x 16″ to 26″ x 26″, it can be purchased as a cover only or with pillow insert, and prices range from $22 to $55. I’m going to get a couple for my couch and wait for my roommate to see them. “The same roommate who had a lithium-ion battery explode on him and now can’t even text without flinching?” I bet he runs screaming.

Thanks to Kent, who agrees smoke should come out when you squeeze it.

Engineer Constructing An Ultra-Tiny Marble Machine

tiny-marble-machine.jpg

This is a video of engineer and Youtuber Daniel de Bruin constructing a tiny marble machine from scratch that’s only big enough for a little ball bearing to ride. Obviously, this is the perfect unit to own in the event a marble machine loving friend of yours goes to prison, because you could easily sneak this into them in that ass of yours. “Excuse me?” Here, why don’t you take this Newton’s Cradle too?

The Mat Hatterpillar, A Caterpillar That Wears Its Previously Shed Heads Like A Stack Of Hats

the-mad-hatterpillar.jpg

In it may be time for another Mother Nature intervention news, this is a short video from scientist Steve Mould highlighting the life of the the gum-leaf skeletoniser (Uraba lugens), a moth that while in caterpillar form wears all of its previously shed exoskeletal heads in a stack on its current head. Per Wikipedia while I crack open a Friday brunch beer:

Uraba lugens is nicknamed the mad hatterpillar because of its distinctive exoskeletal feature. Every time it sheds the head portion of its exoskeleton, the exoskeleton stays attached to its body. Over time, developing through its life span, the head grows bigger and sheds increasingly larger exoskeleton shells, which build upon each other.

Crazy, right? “Totally nuts.” Mother Nature is a TRIP. Like how does she even come up with this stuff — watching horror movies? You know she actually invited me over for movie night a couple weekends ago but I declined because I figured she was just gonna play the popcorn trick on me again. “Wait — again?” I’m not sure what I touched the first four times, but it wasn’t unpopped kernels.

Keep going for the video.

Good Heavens: The Beatles' 'Eleanor Rigby' With All Notes Either E Or F

beatles-eleanor-rigby-e-and-f.jpg

This is The Beatles’ 1966 classic ‘Eleanor Rigby’ but with all notes either E or F. It sounds the way you’d expect a song to sound like when you’re on drugs. Wait *violently swipes bowl of cereal off kitchen table* did somebody drug me?! Honey how could you?! “It was easy, I just opened the bottle and poured it over your cereal when you were getting a spoon.” What have you done! “Relax, it was just an anti-diarrheal.” Oh so you heard that, huh? You’re so good to me.

Keep going for the song as well as a 2015 remaster for reference.

Womp Womp: Farmer Knocks Over All His Fresh Produce, Throws Tantrum

farmer-knocks-over-produce.jpg

This is a recording of a computer screen playing some security cam footage (my favorite kind of video) of a farmer moving some produce with a forklift when he sets off a domino effect of falling boxes. The rest is a hat-stomping cartoon style temper tantrum. Clearly, somebody needs to give baby his bottle. And by baby I mean Old MacDonald here, and by bottle I mean Jim Beam. Let’s get him drunk and roll him down a hill.

Cooool: Kinetic Wind Wall Art Installation Constantly Changes With The Wind

This is a video of artist Ed Khan’s ‘Wind Wall’, a kinetic art installation covering the exterior walls of a parking garage in Clayton, Missouri. As the wind blows it moves the wall’s individual metal flaps, revealing the wind’s pattern. I wonder what Linka from Captain Planet And The Planeteers thinks about it. “Because she has the power of wind?” No, because she retired from Planeteering and became an art critic, yes because she has the power of wind. I take it you’re not the Planeteer with the– “Power of thought?” Don’t you take my insults away from me!

Keep going for the video, which includes some closeups.

I Love Appetizers: Impressive Tapas Making LEGO Machine

This is a video demonstration of the LEGO Tapas Factory constructed by LEGO builder The Brick Wall. The machine is capable of slicing bread, then loading each slice with a variety of ingredients via two conveyor belts, then impaling the bread with a skewer, attaching tomato and cheese. Simple! And by simple I mean it would have been infinitely easier to just ask your mom if she’ll make you a snack. I remember when I was a kid whenever I’d take a nap my mom would leave a bowl of berries outside my door for when I woke up. Those were the days. Now? These are not the days. *liberally pouring gasoline in the dumpster that is 2020* Not by a long shot.

It Was Only A Matter Of Time: KFC's Fried Chicken Shell Tacos

kfc-friend-chicken-shell-tacos.jpg

Because KFC, being Taco Bell’s sister company and clearly making calls from the same Think Outside The Box playbook, has announced the release of Kentacos in their Singapore restaurants. Kentacos are tacos with a flattened fried chicken fillet for a shell and “loaded up with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, cheese sauce [Emmental, Romano and cheddar], lettuce and tomatoes.” Will they make their way to the rest of the world? I’m not sure, but I guarantee there are a lot of Americans waiting with bated, labored breath.

Keep going for a short Instagram video highlighting the ingredients.

Real Products That Exist: The Star Wars Space Slug Desk Organizer

star-wars-space-slug-desk-organizer.jpg

Because Star Wars everything (and I do mean absolutely everything), this is the space slug desk organizer available from Regal Robot. The officially licensed exogorth is cast in solid resin, hand painted, includes a black pencil with millennium falcon pencil topper and costs $99. *spit-takes Minute Maid Tropical Punch* My God — $99?! Contrary to what my roommate just commented as he looked over my shoulder as I wrote this, you should not put your penis in the worm’s mouth. Although, if we’re being completely honest, now I’m really starting to wonder how you’re going to get your $99 worth otherwise.

Jason Vorhees Pandemic Face Masks From Friday The 13th Special Effects Makeup Artist

jason-face-mask-1.jpg

These are the ‘Hockey Mask’ personal protection masks being crafted and sold by renowned horror special effects makeup artist and King Of Splatter Tom Savini (who worked on both the original 1980 Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter)
and Jason Baker (a visual effects artist on The Dark Knight Rises, DM him for sales). The half masks include a fabric interior to help prevent the spread of airborne particulate and cost $60. If you want one signed by Tom then it costs $100. Still, can you really put a price on making sure everyone in public turns around and runs the other way when they see you?

Keep going for a few more shots, including the man himself wearing one.

Burger King Germany's Social Distancing Crowns

burger-king-social-distancing-crowns.jpg

These are the social distancing crowns created by Burger King Germany. Each cardboard crown extends in a three foot radius around a wearer’s head so that patrons are reminded to keep their distance from each other as the restaurants begin to resume dine-in service. Apparently Burger Kings in Italy are taking a different approach by selling Social Distancing Whoppers, which have three times the regular amount of onions on them. LOL, that’ll certainly keep people away! And vampires. “That’s garlic.” I hate being so stupid. I remember when I was a kid I would always beg my parents to take me to Burger King so I could get a cardboard crown but they convinced me they’ll only give you one on your birthday, presumably to crush my spirit and/or prepare me for the harsh reality of adulthood. Then on my birthday neither one would feel like driving.

Thanks to hairless, who informed me it’s easy to keep six feet away from other people because he just has to imagine two penis-lengths. Haha, just 1.5 for me.
