This is one of those instances where art begets art. Inspired by the high-octane movie John Wick: Chapter 2, the guys at Corridor decided to put their own spin on the mass-murdering hitman… only with a more kid-friendly arsenal. Meet Nerf John Wick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MrnAJsxL8c&ab_channel=Corridor The 3-minute video showcases moves lifted directly from the film, such as using an enemy’s chest to conveniently reload a shotgun as well as a couple of moves that could only be done with Nerf guns. For instance, there is no way you could catch an opponent’s bullet and use it to kill someone else if they were using a real gun. But thanks to the…

Near the shores of Los Angeles stands the Ivanhoe reservoir. And covering the entire surface of this 39-hectare (96-acre) wide reservoir are over 96 million shade balls. You must probably be betting that this is the world’s biggest ball pit and you might be right! But those balls serve a greater purpose than providing the local population a place to host kids’ parties. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxPdPpi5W4o&ab_channel=Veritasium A few years ago, Derek Muller of Veritasium took a boat trip to the middle of the Ivanhoe reservoir. Here, he picked the brains of its custodians and found out just why this reservoir which provides so many people with clean drinking water has so many…

Unlike the expensive 3D printers, a 3D pen isn’t the most precise instrument for making printed models. That’s not entirely the pen’s fault, however. By adding in a human element, you’re effectively reducing the speed and accuracy for a more personalized 3D print. Still, some people like that human touch – even if it doesn’t necessarily look as good as the things printed out of a 3D printer. Over the course of 51 hours, the creator of the Build-a-Skill YouTube channel documented his journey from 3D pen printing novice to… a somewhat adept 3D pen printing artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcONBptTGbk&ab_channel=Build-a-Skill From drawing spindly 2D lines on paper to making a fully-formed robot,…

We’ve all been told never to consume soda and Mentos at the same time. It is pretty obvious why: you don’t want to see yourself vomiting some foam. How would that happen? Well, it’s pretty simple. This scotch mint can nucleate the carbon dioxide in the soda, resulting in a rapid increase in the latter’s precipitation rate. If you want to know what that looks like without subjecting yourself to a really bad stomach ache, look no further: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I3UuhKEQ6o YouTube channel Toys King took a ton of carbonated drinks and poured them all into a water drum. Then, armed with some Mentos and baking soda, they shot the contents sky…

As we near the end of this pandemic and things start going back to normal, there are few things I’m definitely going to miss. I’ll miss staying indoors for weeks and weeks. I’ll miss not caring about how I look as no one but my immediate family gets to see me. But most of all, I’ll miss wasting mindless hours buying stuff online I don’t even need. Caught smack dab in the middle of COVID-19 last year, Bobby Duke fell into the same trap I did: Amazon online shopping. With so many cardboard boxes around and the number of activities he could do at home dwindling each day, he came…

The thing I love most about pizza is how you can literally put anything on it and it will still be a pizza. The worst thing about pizza? Making it. With no culinary expertise whatsoever, your entire pizza crust could end up as undesirable as the cornicione; not to mention the mess and the effort of assembling the pizza itself! So, it’s really a relief we have pizza delivery. Despite living in Brooklyn, New York where pizza parlors are everywhere, inventor Joseph Herscher of Joseph’s Machines decided his newest machine would be used to make everyone’s favorite Italian dish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I85afIyu0IU With a mechanical toy train as the crux, Joseph created…
