The World’s Smallest Snowman is So Cute

Look at this cute little snowman! I bet he won’t even melt and make me cry like the snowman from Jack Frost does.

Watch Dude Hand Carve a Very, Very, Very Small, Working Super Nintendo

Sure, YouTuber Hugo Doris could have 3D-printed some slick shell for his super-mini Super Nintendo, but when you’re making a one of a kind object, why not craft it by hand? Using a Raspberry Pi Zero, a USB hub and clay, Doris (lyberty5) has meticulously put together an emulator for the SNES that rivals Nintendo’s…

Watch this guy make a perfect ebony pot the size of his finger nail

Even though my eyes see the artisan’s finger placed for reference next to the small piece of ebony at the beginning of the video, my brain can’t believe that the resulting pot is the size of his finger nail. The level of detail is so perfect that my stubborn mind still thinks it’s a full…

This Tiny Home Uses Sliding Walls to Transform One Room Into Four

We’ve seen our fair share of transforming apartments around here, from MIT’s super-advanced version to this Ikea-esque wonder. But none of them can compare to the sheer inventive genius of this apartment, in which huge sliding racks make it possible to pack a whole household into a tiny corridor of space. It’s called the All…

Tiny Explores One Man’s Quest to Live In a Shoebox

Most of us are forced to live small: In small apartments in small buildings with small windows and small closets and cat piss-scented roommates on meth. Others willingly choose to live out their days in homes no larger than a parking space, and now you can watch a movie about their electively cramped style. The…

The World’s Smallest Comic Strip Is Etched on a Single Strand of Hair

A Super Tiny Computer Smaller Than Your Finger Can’t Actually Work, Right?

I really want to believe that this comically tiny computer actually works. It’s so ridiculous: a mouse smaller than a fingernail, power cords as thin as hair, a monitor smaller than my thumb and the PC tower still boots up? What’s going on here? Was it all green screened? I mean look at that fake…

Tiny Fake DSLR Is Way More Adorable Than Real DSLR

A tiny, non-functional camera. It sounds dumb. But then you look at it. And it is so cute. And—the meticulous detail! Pick it up. Pose your gerbil with it. Now your gerbil is a photographer. Not dumb anymore! Each 1/6 scale camera is only an inch wide, and comes with a set of interchangeable lenses,…

Munchkin-Chic Lingo Wireless Mouse Might Be the World’s Smallest

Nobody asked for it, but here it is: the ‘world’s smallest‘ wireless mouse! This thumb-sized min-strosity will run for 15 hours on one charge, assuming you can go that long without losing it. I can’t say for sure that the Lingo’s 27.5 x 60 x 19mm dimensions qualify it for a size record, but if…

Tiny Imovio iKit Handtop Computer is a Decade Too Late

At first glance, the iMe (sorry!) iKit handtop computer sounds pretty fandabbydozy: it’s a tiny, folding, 2.8-inch screen, QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi-enabled, webcam and Bluetooth-packing, multimedia-playing computer.
