Here’s What Life Looks Like In Reverse

This video is just footage shot normally and then played in reverse and, well, there’s nothing else more than that. Some of the stunts are a little more fun to watch than others—I like seeing how the eggs uncrack and how the orange fits back together like a little puzzle—but it’s all just dumb fun…

25 Complaints to the US Military Broadcasting Network About Political Bias, Sexual Assault PSAs, and ‘Faggot Movies’

The American Forces Network (AFN) is the US military’s radio and TV network for American servicemen and women serving overseas.

Maybe We Don’t Have to Nuke Mars (So Much) After All

Terraforming Mars could be our only option once we screw this planet up beyond repair, but how exactly are we going to do it? One popular scheme involves releasing truckloads of nuclear warheads over the poles, unlocking billions of tons of frozen carbon dioxide and triggering a runaway greenhouse. But if sending your kids to…

Civil War II Is Ruining Captain Marvel

Civil War II has Marvel’s superheroes fighting each other again; this time, it’s over whether it’s better to try and stop evil when you have foreknowledge in advance.

Diver Getting His Teeth Cleaned By Fish Is Viscerally Upsetting

Hey buddo, I get it. Going to the dentist is no fun and fish need to eat. It’s logical—symbiotic even. And fish aren’t going to chastise you about cavities, or drinking too much coffee, or not flossing. And they won’t try to talk to you about classic cars while inside your mouth (looking at you,…

Here’s a Clever Way To Hide Your Flatscreen TV

They’re nowhere near as huge as the CRT and rear-projection TVs many of us grew up with, but a sizeable flatscreen can still take up quite a bit of space in a room—unless you find some clever way to make it disappear at the push of a button. You might wonder what living space is…

What It Really Means When There’s A 50 Percent Chance Of Rain

As a student and observer of meteorology, it constantly bums me out that people do not understand what it means when someone says there’s an “X% chance of rain” tomorrow. A 50 percent chance of rain does not mean there’s a 1-in-2 chance that you’re going to get wet. To be fair, this confusion cannot…
