Distinguishing the Pillsbury Doughboy from the Michelin Man can boggle the minds of some folks. Here’s a tip, though: the former has a white chef’s hat while the latter has a body that looks like stacked white tires. Even better, here’s a restoration of a 1918 Michelin Man statuette by Marty from Awesome Restorations. This should end your confusion between these white, chunky mascots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSftKyMixSA&ab_channel=AwesomeRestorations The restoration video starts with a statuette Michelin Man covered with rust. At first glance, it looks almost like a latte art drawing on the foam. Sadly though, this piece is inedible; as consuming rust would more likely get you sick than satisfy your caffeine…
If you haven’t seen it yet (in which case, you definitely should), Studio Ghibli’s Howl’s Moving Castle is a… well, moving story about the love between two opposite characters. Think Beauty and The Beast, only instead of a gorgeous woman and beast-like man, you have a gorgeous young man and a woman cursed with age. But besides the romance of the two, there’s another remarkable detail in the story that left a permanent mark on its fans: Howl’s moving castle that literally moves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDQ-sDDqWvk&t=1293s&ab_channel=StudsonStudio In Episode 4 of an ongoing series where he replicates Studio Ghibli pieces, Studson of Studson Studio took on the daunting task of making a 21”…

The best camera for video doesn’t necessarily need to offer that bombastic resolution. If that’s your case, then the 8K video resolutions of Canon EOS R5 and Sony A1 might please you. However, it is important to be aware of the caveats of 8K cameras: overheating. This results in limited time recording capabilities of such
You have probably seen an igloo before (even just on videos) and wondered just how in the world some frozen water can keep a person warm. I mean, it’s made out of ice! But according to Joe Hanson of It’s Okay To Be Smart, there are specific reasons that can explain the igloo’s ability to encourage favorable temperature: the type of ice used and the residents inside it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L7EI0vKVuU&ab_channel=It%27sOkayToBeSmart Contrary to popular belief, igloos aren’t made with solid ice but rather from freshly cut snow from the ground. Newly fallen snow is mostly composed of air, which makes it easy to carry and is a good insulator. Folks living in…
Have you ever seen a wind turbine and wondered how in the world people keep them in good condition? Well, simple: they climb the dang things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWSckm8zTc8&ab_channel=TomScott A few months ago, Tom Scott climbed one of Octopus Energy’s wind turbines in the UK. This wasn’t a luxury trip, however. After climbing the 50-meter tall ladder installed inside, Tom would leave through the emergency exit on top and descend back down to Earth. Climbing the wind turbine is a lot safer than you think it is. On the way up, maintenance workers strap themselves to what Tom calls a “fall-arrest system.” At the crux of this system is a fixed steel…
