Sploid: Where awesome, wild, and breathtaking tech moments burst into view.
Watching this Brazilian girl fishing piranhas barefoot made me cringe. Watching the water boil when the piranhas devour a piece of rawmeat she is holding inches away from them made me cringe a bit more. But watching her doing it with such ease is what impresses me the most. SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow…
Here’s a cute video that I hope turns into an entire series: imagining what’s inside a kid’s, well, imagination. The video starts off with the toddler waving a stick as he runs around (as kids tend to do) and then transforms into a level of Super Mario Bros. Being a kid is awesome. We just…
Eclectic Method’s latest song is called ‘Droids of Star Wars’ and it uses footage and sounds (mostly from our favorite droids) from the original trilogy and the ignored second trilogy. It’s going to be a part of a series that summaries the first 6 movies as the world prepares for Episode VII. Eclectic Method is…
There’s a bit of a chicken or the egg thing for me when it comes to umbrellas. I never spend too much money on umbrellas because they always break. Or do they break because I never spend too much money on them? After watching this titillating video of a beautiful umbrella being made, I think…
The funnest and maybe even best movie of 2014 that nobody saw when it came out but when they finally watched it all agreed was the funnest and maybe even best movie of 2014: Edge of Tomorrow. Seriously, even if you don’t like Tom Cruise, you’ll enjoy the movie. Here are 9 other movies that…
Without further commentary, here’s a new short film set to Robert F. Kennedy speech at the Cleveland City Club, on April 5, 1968: The Mindless Menace of Violence. After today’s events in France, it seems appropriate. Senator Kennedy was assassinated on June 6, 1968, only two months after these words. Dr. King was killed the…
Bill Gates loves the Janicki Omniprocessor, an amazing machine that turns human waste into electricity and drinkable water. He saw it and he is extremely impressed. So impressed in fact that he drank from a glass of water that was human poop only five minutes earlier. “It’s water,” he said, obviously relieved. “In places without…
Once again, the French Navy shows they make the best airplane videos there are. This one shows the flight deck operations onboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles DeGaulle. Although I would have preferred no soundtrack, it helps that, instead of using dubstep, they slapped in AC/DC’s Thunderstruck. Plus,I love the Rafale. For comparison, here’s a…
Instead of making videos from scratch, Californian band DUM gets famous movies like Star Wars, Home Alone, or The Neverending Story and substitutes the characters’ faces for their own. The result is not perfect, but it is fun to watch. Also, their track Get Back is quite funky. DUM is David Unger, Scott Marsh, and…

French graphic designer and editor Michael Deleau put together this trailer for all the superhero movies released in 2014. It all combines so naturally and seamlessly that it really highlights how all these movies use the same visual language—albeit with different end results, of course. SPLOID is delicious brain candy.

It happened this Monday in Hoquiam, Washington: A landslide caused by the heavy rain now affecting the region—which “has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a flood watch for much of Western Washington”—knocked an entire house off its foundation, moving it several feet towards the street. SPLOID is delicious brain candy. Follow us on…
Sriracha, the hot sauce God would ask for if he ate on Earth, is still made from the same recipe when it first started decades ago. Only the chilis are hotter now. And the sauce is more popular. And the production is much, much larger. Hypebeast took a tour of the giant factory that makes…
This is so cool. Usually time lapses show the night sky of stars moving around Earth but we know that’s not true, it’s Earth that’s moving and rotating and turning. Photographer Lance Page made this time lapse to represent our Earth turning by making the camera move along with the North Star. That way we…
Blue is sleeping, red is their creative work, green is their actual day job (if they have it), yellow is food/leisure time and blue is exercise. By comparing all these successful famous creative people’s daily schedules, I have figured out how to become one of them: sleep early and quit your day job. We’ve seen…
Marvel, which is in the middle of its do whatever the hell it wants phase, has a new superhero movie coming out: Ant-Man, a superhero that gets tiny. And this is the first teaser trailer, which sounds like a long and serious you-must-save-the-world-for-the-people-you-love until it gets to the final punchline. I’ll watch it even though…
Here’s a short video showing the before and after footage of a movie being color corrected by a colorist. It’s dramatic to see the difference between the initial footage and the final official scenes. It’s also fascinating to see the process and how certain things change slowly. GradeKC who worked on this film, The House…

Maximum drool age.…
Overwhelmed. That’s how I feel when I zoom into this new panorama of the Andromeda galaxy. Yesterday it was the mind-blowing new photo of the Pillars of Creation. Today isthis view of Andromeda with over 100 million stars in it. Yes, that is not noise. Each of those dots is a star! You really have…
