Sploid: Where awesome, wild, and breathtaking tech moments burst into view.
Berlin is not only one of the most vibrant cities in Europe—thanks to its food, clubs, cultural life, and the other thousand things you can do there. The city itself is unique. Its architecture is stunning and full of contrasts, a constant reminder of the clash between communism and capitalism—and their imperialism. Take a virtual…
Digital illustrator Neonardo created these neat videos showing the trailers of Star Wars The Force Awakens and Jurassic Park as if they were made with neon lights. Someone should give this guy money to make an entire movie like that. Star Wars The Force Awakens teaser trailer Jurassic Park You can follow Neonardo on Twitter…
Maybe because the idea of fighting with swords today seems so impossibly dangerous and probably because seeing steel on steel clang and cut flesh is just so damn viscerally satisfying but there’s few things more riveting to see on screen than watching two or more actors try to kill each other with a sword. Here…
CineFix sums up Keanu Reeves in The Matrix hilariously: he gets his ass kicked, learns to kick ass and then promptly kicks everyone’s ass. The problem that you maybe didn’t know? Keanu actually couldn’t kick in the movie’s epic fight scenes. He had spinal surgery before filming which prevented him from kicking so fight scenes…
Here is proof that there’s always more horrifying Frankenfood left to be invented and more stomachs to destroy with fast food: the Double Down hot dog. It’s KFC’s take on a hot dog only instead of using a regular hot dog bun, KFC is whipping out a bun made with fried chicken. It looks ridiculous.…
Outstanding illustration of the new Ultron on the cover of Empire this week. I remember how fascinated I was the first time I saw Ultron in Avengers. It was issue #162, published in 1977—I saw it much later because it arrived to Spain in the 80s. Here’s how artists changed Ultron’s appearance through the years:…
Mario Wienerroither is keeping himself busy these days and just sent us his new video. This time, he took the music off Fight For Your Rights (To Party), a classic song by the Beastie Boys, transforming the original insane party into an even more insane and awkward act of vandalism. I’m sure you all know…
Meet Urkel-San, the protagonist of the new Animation Domination High-Def video that transforms Family Matters into an uncanny anime world full of swords, robots and magic potions.

French animator Kadavre Exquis just sent us another beautiful video he directed for electronic-pop band Equateur. The song, called Cheval Noir, and its video are a continuation of their previous EP Lava—already featured here. Both combined seem like the different levels of a cool video game. Here’s the video for part 1, Lava: Equateur is…
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) put an amazing photo set not long ago showing us the smallest marine creatures living in our planet’s seas and oceans. They look like Hubble photos of nebulas and stars. Phytoplanktons, diatoms, different types and forms of algae — they all look beautiful under the microscope. Without these…
The US Navy will publicly show their formidable railgun at the Naval Future Force Science and Technology Expo in Washington D.C. on February 4. The formidable electromagnetic cannon launches solid projectiles over 100 nautical miles at more than six times the speed of sound. You can see it in action here: They will test it…
I spent the last few days in Hungary, where I had good food and discovered a new Kinja that I will watch every day even if I don’t speak a word of Hungarian: Malackaraj. Where else can I learn how to make something as delicious and deadly as túrós csusza. Watch my new favorite food…
I wish Disney really made a Star Wars-Marvel Universe crossover. A cool one, not something dumb. Like the Guardians of the Galaxy finding the remains of an Imperial experimental military base abandoned 100,000 years ago, accidentally activate some portal, and traveling back in time for the war. OK, that’s dumb too. But it would also…
Most scientists discard the possibility of a massive extinction if Earth’s magnetic field reverses its current orientation. That hasn’t stopped French artist François Ronsiaux from creating these images of one completely crazy and silly apocalyptic scenario: An increase of the sea level to more than 984 feet (300 meters.) François Ronsiaux is an artist and…

Watch this high-density polyurethane foam raise concrete slabs thanks to the magic of physics. The foam, called PolyLEVEL, is applied through a hole drilled in the concrete, expanding under the concrete and pushing it up. SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
I’ve seen many knife throwers in my life but this participant of Lithuania’s Got Talent is really terrible. Two moments made me cringe: The first, when an errant knife sliced slightly one of the assistant’s fingers. The other, when another knife passed an inch away of his partner’s head. Here’s the entire show (in Lithuanian)—at…
A few days ago, Grafitti artist INSA made a massive animated painting in Rio de Janeiro. Over four days he painted an area of 154,774 square feet (14,379 square meters) with the help of 20 assistants. The painting states were captured by a satellite to create this GIF, the biggest ever.
