Good night, Toronto

Canada. Hockey. Poutine. Maple Syrup. All such truly wonderful things! Also wonderful? Toronto. Here’s a hyperlapse from Ryan Emond that shows the sparkling skyline of the lovely city to our north. Emond writes: Toronto Skyline Porn is what its title implies — a full frontal visual journey through Toronto’s growing skyline. The scenes were shot…

Maps show which body parts in porn are the most popular across the world

Pornhub’s always wonderful statistical analysis crack team looked at their glorious search data to answer one of life’s greatest questions: are you a boobs or a butt person. After finding out which states and which countries like which part, they mapped it all out for the world to see. America, we’re a butt country. Of…

Riding a motorcycle in this ice cave looks like exploring an alien world

Equal parts cool and eerie with a dash of unique and a sprinkle of out of this world, motorcycle rider Dougie Lampkin toured a hotel made entirely out of ice in Northern Finland on his bike. It’s unlike the dirt hills and race tracks you’re used to seeing motorcycles on and looks a lot more…

Magic humpback whales fly in this video

Wow. This footage of humpback whales is just stunning. It’s a trailer for an upcoming IMAX 3D documentary about these majestic creatures that’ll be narrated by Ewan McGregor. If I’m impressed with how it looks on my tiny laptop screen, I can’t imagine how much my jaw will drop in IMAX. SPLOID is delicious brain…

Good night, London

It’s a little weird to say this but I’ve mostly ignored London as a city to visit. Even though it’s been years since I’ve last been and even though I enjoyed my time there, I never think about it when I get bitten by the travel bug. And I don’t have a legitimate reason why…

Watching the amazing skills of this baker is almost hypnotizing

Do yourself a favor and watch the video below. It’s such a joy to see someone enjoy his job so much. He bakes bread, tosses flour, massages dough, slices open holes and even cleans and takes out the trash with so much energy that he looks like a kid bouncing around in a playground after…

Daredevil jumps off his flying motorcycle and parachutes into a river

Now this is how you bail on a stunt: when the whole point of the stunt is to bail in the most epic way possible. The motorcyclist in the video flies his motorbike off a ramp, jumps off the bike while releasing his parachute and then lands right into the narrow river as the bike…

Magic ultrasonic cutting machine perfectly slices sandwiches in half

It never occurred to me to wonder who or what cuts those soul crushing pre-packaged sandwiches that I always find myself eating at an airport, but now I know: it’s one of these magic machines. The cutting arm seeks out whole sandwiches and positions its slicer perfectly with ultrasound to deliver the optimal cut. The…

Stupidly cool Iron Man parody turns a regular iron into a superhero

This parody makes absolutely no sense until it makes perfect sense. And that moment is when Tony Starch gets outfitted with the Iron Man Iron suit. I mean, the animation is pretty well done throughout the parody but that scene when the Febreze-like spray bottle turns into an Iron just slayed me. Iron Can was…

Seeing speed climbers shoot up a wall is like seeing Spiderman

The guy on the left set a new world speed climbing record, scaling the wall in about 5.6 seconds. His name is Danyl Boldyrev and he’s from the Ukraine but I’m pretty sure that’s Peter Parker on steroids. I mean he basically shoots out of a cannon and reaches the top in no time. I…

This NSFW trailer for a TV show might be the most ridiculous thing

Workaholics is a funny TV show about slacker college friends who happen to be roommates who also happen to be co-workers and the hijinks they get into. Workaholics is not a show about guns and explosions and shootouts and strippers. But guess what the trailer for Season 5 is about? Yep. Guns and strippers. The…

Watch a puppy grow into a full grown dog in 23 seconds

Meet Sophia. She’s an adorable Rhodesian Ridgeback who is featured in this time lapse that shows her grow from a 2-month-old puppy to a full grown 3-year-old dog. The whole time lapse only lasts 23 seconds. Sophia’s humans totally should have joined in on the picture taking fun. SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow us…

Extraordinary sharp footage of Great White sharks jumping and hunting

This footage of Great White Sharks leaping into the air and attacking a fake seal is just awesome. We get to see these incredible killing beasts in all their intimidating glory. The video is stunningly clear and we pretty much see every angle of these ocean hunters. Man, they are fearsome. They jump so high…

Short film: Why we should be the tortoise and not the hare

Everybody knows that old Aesop’s Fable, The Tortoise and the Hare, but it seems like everybody always forget to follow its advice. Here’s an inspiring video that reminds us to take things slow and steady as opposed to rushing into things. The video works not only because of the message but because of the visuals…

The incredible evolution of video game graphics in one image

This picture represents over 30 years of progress in video game graphics. And my, how far we’ve come. On one side, we have Indiana Jones in the video game version of Raiders of the Lost Ark on the Atari 2600. On the other side, we have Nathan Drake in Uncharted 4 on the PS4. We’ll…

Fantastic stop-motion film turns common objects into delicious sandwich

The latest stop motion animation by awesome artist PES is entitled Submarine Sandwich. It’s an endlessly creative take on the classic deli sub sandwich (or hero or hoagie or whatever you call it). But instead of using typical deli meats, the animation ‘slices’ old sports gear like boxing gloves and baseball mitts and soccer balls.…

This beautiful galaxy is actually a stunning visualization of Wikipedia

Here’s a way to explore Wikipedia that’s unlike any other you’ve done before: as its own galaxy. Created by Owen Cornec, each star in the galaxy is a different Wikipedia article and a cluster of stars together would be related Wikipedia articles. It’s like taking the idea of exploring space to the expansive rabbit hole…

Video: All 212,470 on-screen deaths in the Lord of the Rings trilogy

It’s been over a decade since the Lord of the Rings trilogy wrapped up and we’re still totaling the body count. After all those sweeping battles and that epically long journey, Digg Video tallied up the death toll and it’s an insane 212,470. I guess those movies were pretty long, right? In comparison, Game of…

Watch a first date go wrong with these hilarious visual metaphors

Here’s a fun video that uses a lot of symbolism and visual metaphors to describe the experience of a first date. The idea is simple but complex at the same time: we’re getting a peek inside the mind of a germaphobe and everything we see is an interpretation of what he’s seeing. It’s fun to…

Showing off on social media is a stupid game

If life was a video game right now, it’d be a pretty terrible one. That’s because it’d just be levels of Facebooks and Twitters and Instagrams and social networks that would encourage us to pimp our lives for likes. And push us to hashbrag what we do. And to make sure the world sees our…
