Watch an arrow change directions in this simple water optical illusion

Here’s a fun old trick anyone can do: draw arrows on a piece of paper, put a glass in front of those arrows and pour water into the glass. Watch as the arrows you drew magically change directions right before your eyes. Refraction is a mind bending thing. SPLOID is a new blog about awesome…

A music video of The White Stripes without the music is so awkward

Here’s another classic musicless music video by Mario Wienerroither. This time, it’s The White Stripes’ The Hardest Button to Button that gets stripped of its audio and remixed with empty noises to sound like real life. It’s a lot more awkward and a lot less revolution rousing! Like two kids playing for change in a…

Here are some more impressions of foreign languages that sound so real

She’s good. After nailing her first edition of doing impressions on foreign languages, Smoukahontas is back for the sequel and it’s just as impressive. It’s so fun to see her make up very believable words and get animated depending on which foreign language she’s doing. Her impressions are pretty much spot on to non-foreign language…

This two person golf trick shot is unbelievable

Excuse the portrait mode video but this golf trick shot is so impressive that we can ignore the blatant disregard of proper cell phone video recording etiquette. Here’s what goes down: the guy behind hits a golf ball to the guy in front who swings and hits the same ball without the ball ever touching…

Watching complete strangers kiss for the first time is really beautiful

Um, wow. I don’t know if it’s the song selection or because it’s in black and white or the fact that everybody in this video is so attractive, but what started out as incredibly awkward—seeing two strangers meet each other and kiss—turned into something pretty damn beautiful. The premise of the video, called First Kiss…

There’s no difference in buying a large beer vs a small beer at a game

Sometimes when you go a stadium to watch a game or an arena to watch a concert, you’ll have the option of buying an overpriced large beer or a slightly less overpriced small beer. Go small to save a few dollars because the small cup holds just as much beer as the large cup. More…

Kick ass dad made a giant Aliens power loader costume for his baby

Having a kid is a lot of responsibility but if you’re a man-sized child, it can also be a lot of fun. Take Carsten Riewe, for example, he made a Caterpillar P5000 Powerloader costume from the movie Aliens for his 13-month-old daughter. What’s the point of having kids if you can’t do crazy things like…

What if Game of Thrones characters couldn’t remember other characters?

Game of Thrones is a complicated show with a never ending cast of characters and families and sigils and bannermen and animals and politics and power and maps and magic and breasts that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with who is fighting who and for what. This hilarious parody of Game of Thrones by…

Awesome dad built an even more awesome Batpod motorcycle for his kids

There’s already a lot of responsibilities in being a parent. You gotta make sure your kids are fed. Make sure they bathe. Make sure they’re safe. And make sure they don’t become a menace to society. There’s only one requirement in becoming an awesome parent though and it’s this: build your kids an awesome Batpod…

This super nifty one armed robot is better at ping pong than you

It’s no Forrest Gump but this moving one armed robot is plenty good at ping pong. And may be even better than you. Watch it extend its arm to cover ground, cycle through backhand and forehand shots and hit the ball so effortlessly that it seems like an invisible human is controlling it. The DIY…

Can you find the leopard hiding in this picture? (You got 10 seconds)

You got 10 seconds to find it. It’s there, I promise you. But if you were just walking around or if you were this leopard’s prey, by the time you see it, it would be too late. The photo was taken by excellent photographer Art Wolfe. See more of Art Wolfe’s awesome workhere. You can…

An invisible mirrored fence is way better than a white picket fence

Sure a white picket fence is part of the American dream but it’s so much cooler to have this fence of mirrors surrounding your house. It turns the boundaries of your yard invisible. It changes colors with the seasons. And it is gleaming fun to look at. Designboom says the mirrored fences are an installation…

This Simpsons couch gag making fun of the French is hilarious fine art

I would so watch a French version of The Simpsons that makes fun of itself as much as this couch gag. Hopefully, it could be just as beautifully animated as this too. This couch gag was made by French director Sylvain Chomet and it has Homer eating snails, Bart brutally making his own foie gras…

How would you die if you got swallowed by a black hole?

According to physicists, there are three, er, two and a half different theories on how a person would die if they got sucked in by a black hole: stretched like a spaghetti noodle, burnt like a toast and maybe even scrambled. Nova PBS explains that if the argument on how people would die if swallowed…

Wow, this might be the best video of a wingsuit flight ever

Videos of wingsuit flights are never not awesome but this one just might be the best. And it’s not because of the snow. Though the beautifully fresh powder helps. And it’s not because Dan Vicary, the flying man in the video, zips around for three miles. Though the astonishing views certainly don’t hurt. But it’s…
