Watching grandmas smoke weed for the first time is so great

When you combine three nice things like grandmas and weed and doing something for the first time, well, you get something wonderful. Watch as three grandmas smoke weed for the first time and hang out with them as they get high. They laugh, they get the munchies, they don’t always make sense and they want…

Inside the lab that makes the instant blood stopping gel of the future

Something that seems ripped from the future is being developed right now inside a lab in Brooklyn. It’s the VetiGel which is also known as the borderline magical band-aid of the future. It’s a gel that when applied on a wound, almost immediately stops the bleeding. Here’s the lab where they make the future. If…

How Guardians of the Galaxy should have ended

Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the best movies of the year and probably one of the funnest movies I’ve seen in a long while but it also had its fair share of logic gaps that were glossed over. HISHE hilarious fixed the movie by changing some scenes in the movie so it all…

Short film: What you need to know about vaping and e-cigarettes

Vaping and e-cigarettes are everywhere these days. More and more people are carrying around those cylindrical metal flutes and blowing out giant cloud puffs that it all seems so common. But because the industry is so new, no one really knows what’s going to happen. The New Yorker made this short doc to find out.…

The first demo video of the world’s tallest roller coaster is terrifying

The world’s tallest roller coaster won’t even be made until 2017 and this is just a demo video of what the roller coaster is going to feel like but I’m already scared. Skyscraper at Skyplex in Orlando will be the tallest roller coaster in the world at over 500 feet tall and you ride the…

Tiny hamster eating too much tiny Thanksgiving food is just so cute

I love Thanksgiving. Family and food and football and more food and Fall and friends and even more food. And though all of that makes me smile, nothing captures the essence of holiday better than this tiny hamster: it ate so much tiny Thanksgiving food that you can see the guilt and worry on its…

Who would win in a fight between superheroes and video game characters?

You have Thor, Captain America and Wolverine on one side. Master Chief, Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2, Ash Ketchum and his trusty Pokeball and a blocky guy from Minecraft. It should be no contest, outside of some fancy weapons, the superheroes should destroy any video game character… but do they? I guess the moral of…

Watching carnivorous plants eat bugs is strangely therapeutic

There is just something unexplainably awesome about carnivorous plants eating things. It’s like nature’s revenge mixed with some alien imagination, like if these plants were grown from a different planet. Watch these carnivorous plants grow and chomp at bugs in this wonderful time lapse. Chris Field, who filmed this, wrote: Over a year of effort!…

What everyday life looks like under a heat detecting camera (NSFW)

BuzzFeed recorded normal, everyday things people do with a thermal imaging camera to see what our bodies’ temperature looks like when we’re, well, doing normal, everyday things. Spoiler: it makes a lot of things look really gross, especially exercise which looks like a damn disease. Having Predator vision is sort of neat but would totally…

Video: New York at night beautifully recreated with 3,454 oil paintings

I’ve had this night in New York before. Actually, anyone who has lived there has had this night. And though you might not immediately recognize it, you will. That’s because the art in this video is lifted straight from those nights you don’t exactly remember but you know were awesome. Basically, New York on any…

Seeing random objects get animated to act like birds makes me laugh

Here’s a silly exercise in animation: Zeitguised made this lighthearted clip to show how different objects would look and act like if they were birds. Yeah, I told you it was silly. But I can’t stop laughing at sliced eggs and a bunch of leaves and worms sitting on a tree branch. Oh the worms.…

Stop-motion video shows what it’s like to chase something that’s lost

We’ve all been there. When things change, when love is gone, when something happens, when someone leaves, we spend too much time chasing it back again. Péter Vácz made this stop-motion animation music video for James’ All I’m Saying to illustrate that chase. Vácz explains: A man goes on a quest to find the spirit…

What the characters from South Park look like in real life

If you ever wondered what the characters of South Park looked like in real life in the minds of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, wonder no more. Last night’s crazy episode revealed what Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny would look like if they weren’t just cartoons made of shapes and circles but actual humans instead.…

Video: Super Mario Bros. edited into real life to ruin people’s lives

I’m a horrible person who always laughs when people fail in YouTube videos. This collection of fails made me laugh even harder because it’s been perfectly edited to splice in Mario and Luigi from Nintendo as the evil invisible force who cause all these screw ups in real life. The sound effects are just perfect.…

A size comparison of the comet 67P with popular sci-fi spaceships

Christopher Becke, a high school physics teacher, made this outstanding size comparison showing what the Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko would look like next to famous spacecrafts from science fiction. His images show the comet next to ships from Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. And the comet is so small! Or I guess, maybe our…

Incredible music video shows how science experiments react to music

Sound makes funny shapes. We don’t usually see it in real life but when you put together water and sand with speakers bumping at different frequencies, you’ll start seeing spirals and kaleidoscopes and other wild objects. This new video by Nigel Stanford and directed by Shahir Daud features all those awesome cymatics in action. SPLOID…

Behold all the crazy new pizzas from Pizza Hut’s brand new menu

Pizza Hut is launching a brand new menu on November 19th and it sounds nuts. The options are so crazy—like Ginger Boom Boom and Get Curried Away crust and Honey Sriracha sauce—that I’m not even sure the word pizza can adequately describe it. I mean, there are more than 2 billion different pizza combinations now.…

Everything you need to know about the Cold War in a 9-minute animation

These cute animations that teach you about our history are just the best. Partly because I love history, partly because the cartoon drawings make me laugh and partly because I really think I’m learning more than I ever did in school. I mean, spending 10 minutes on YouTube is better than a semester at school.…

This guy recreated one of the craziest restaurants in the world at home

If you don’t know the restaurant Alinea, know this: it’s one of the best restaurants in the world and it’s as much a mad science lab and art museum as it is a place to eat dinner. It’s crazy, I mean they serve things like edible helium balloons. Somehow, this normal guy recreated all of…
