Sploid: Where awesome, wild, and breathtaking tech moments burst into view.
This cool short film by British director Joseph White starts off with a very interesting premise: A brain hacker discovers that certain images can induce visions of God to people suffering a weird type of epilepsy. When he attempts to make this public, a violent religious sect tries to chase him down. They claim they…
Here’s a fact about living on Earth: it’s hard to keep track of who boned who. Even comic book superheroes have a hard time remembering who they’ve had relations with and who they kissed and who they briefly dated. This infographic breaks it down for us, showing which superhero has been around where in the…
Dancer Madd Chadd is so, so good at doing the robot that he actually looks more like a frighteningly realistic robot pretending to be a human than a human dancing like a robot. In this latest video, he’s sitting down and attempting to eat a sandwich like a robot would and it looks absolutely perfect.…
The good people at Foodbeast created a new frankenfood that tops the ramen burger in my eyes (and more importantly to my tastebuds): the pho burger. Made with deep fried rice noodle buns, Vietnamese style cole slaw and a juicy patty, it looks like a fantastic combination of the ingredients of Pho but in burger…
I’m flabbergasted. I have never seen anything like the closeup images of marine life captured in this short film by Sandro Bocci. Most of them truly look like beings from another planet.

If you spend the night at the Coconut Forest in Piaui State, Brazil, you’ll be able to see a rare species of fungus that glows in the dark.

Japanese visual design studio WOW made this stunning video showing rare images of Tokyo covered by a dense fog. That, combined with the relaxing music, the beautiful locations, and the calm pace at which the fog moves, transforms Tokyo into a gorgeous dreamlike city. From WOW’s website: These images show the face of Tokyo through…
These Fostex TH900 headphones run for $1,300 which is completely silly and ridiculous and insane until you watch how they get made. The amount of detail put into each part, the careful consideration of each step, it’s all pretty impressive. I know I would never spend that much money on headphones but I can’t say…
Part of the fun of having a GoPro is being able to see from perspectives you’ve never seen before. So as cool as it is to strap that thing onto your head or throw it across your chest while you’re doing extreme stunts, it’s also really fun to see a GoPro in random spots like…
Dissolve is back at it again with one of my favorite recurring series: recreating famous movie scenes with just stock footage. This time they focus on Academy Award winning movies and make you guess the film using hints such as ‘theme park fail’ and ‘midlife strife with rose petals’. It’s pretty uncanny how close they…
There is a new Peanuts movie coming on November 2015. I don’t know if it’s going to be good or not, but technically it looks like a pretty nice translation of Schulz’s graphic language into the 3D world. The trailer below just seems like the classic Snoopy and Woodstock fantasy silliness. It seems to me…
I love Innocent, the new track by Hundred Waters—a band from Gainesville, Florida, that sounds more European than American. This song sounds to me like a genetic experiment between old school Goldfrapp—think the amazing Utopia—and something Kate Bush. Ish. The video is excellent too. Hundred Waters is a band from Gainesville, Florida. You can buy…
There are many cool wingsuit videos out there, some show crazy close calls, others insane stunts, but this is the first time I’ve seen something like this. This video, shot in slow motion with several cameras, it’s so beautiful and relaxing that it makes me want to try it. SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow…
Montreal-based production house 1one Production specializes in bringing marketing stunts to life. So when they decided to make a self-promotion commercial they thought “what would’ve happened if Jesus had a marketing team to orchestrate his miraculous and popular stunts?” Well, this is what: SPLOID is delicious brain candy.

I don’t know what I’m most impressed with in this video of a guitar being made by hand: Eitan’s Bartel absolute love for the instrument he makes, the perfect measurements needed to craft one of his guitars, the unbelievable skill and precision required in each step, the shots of woodworking, the imagination of smell. It…
I think this animation should totally be a test to see if you’re a decent human being who remembers the 80’s or 90’s: if you have feelings of nostalgia or get some tingles when you see some of these animations, you’re a human! If you don’t, you’re a sad robot (or a sucker who wasn’t…
This monster snow plow, the TowPlow, totally looks like it’s drifting and dangerously flying through the snow covered roads but it’s actually really smartly extending itself and making the plow wider so it can clear roads even faster. The TowPlow is dragged by the snow truck and swings out to cover more area. Slick. SPLOID…
The best video games you can play are those that let you act like a complete maniac while surrounded by party girls and mountains of drugs and just shoot a lot of people. Basically, the best video game you can play is just playing the plot of Scarface over and over again. CineFix shows its…
You have seen photos of the secret Soviet-era Tesla tower—capable of discharging as much energy as the entire USSR’s power grid in 100 milliseconds—but you have never seen this like this, from a drone. Russia Today got permission to take this video of one of the most fascinating science facilities in the planet. The facility…
