How many of these famous movie and TV cars can you recognize?

Famous cars in movies and TV shows are just as much a character to the story as the actors and actresses. If Batman drove a Volvo or Marty McFly time traveled in a Toyota, it just wouldn’t be the same. They’re iconic. So how many of these cars do you recognize? Scott Park has a…

What Disney Princesses would look like as Game of Thrones characters

What if the world of Westeros was actually set in the wonderful world of Disney? The Seven Kingdoms would be up for grabs in the magical Disney universe.

Ballet of bullets: Firing a fully automatic rifle in super slow motion

Peaceful isn’t the right word, obviously. Quiet isn’t exactly correct either. Cathartic may be closest. That’s what it feels like to see a fully automatic assault rifle be fired in super slow motion. The bullets come one after the other in a relentless barrage but there’s a certain amount of detachment to its power and…

Seeing the original 1928 Mickey Mouse animated in 3D is terrifying

Some things are better left untouched. Really3D, the hilarious YouTube channel that animates classics into ridiculous 3D renders, proves that with a gagful 3D animation of the 1928 classic Steamboat Willie.

Animals like to pop bubble wrap just as much as we do

Few legal substances are as addicting and therapeutic as popping bubble wrap. It’s catnip, eucalyptus leaves, coca leaves, maple syrup, honey and coconut water combined into a transparent, air filled plastic sheet. Humans lose hours to get the quick fix of popping every last air bubble. It turns out animals, like this raccoon, do the…

What happens when you reach level 999 of Flappy Bird

Were you expecting anything else? The silliest of silly games is impossible to beat because a familiar friend has gone villain and acts as the final boss. He’s sick and tired of letting little Flappy fly around in what is clearly his world. Die bird, die. The video is obviously but wonderfully doctored by the…

Is a perfectly symmetrical face actually the most beautiful?

Beauty is in symmetry. Symmetry is beautiful. Or something like that. But what if that’s not true? Photographer Alex John Beck played around with the idea of facial symmetry by creating perfectly symmetrical composite images of people’s faces in his photography series Both Sides Of.

The hilarious differences between video games and real life

If only video games were real life, right?

Ah, video game life…
