Why not? I’m no stranger to doing stupid things in my youth, maybe it’s time and wisdom of age. I’m not sure why someone would want to do this, but hey, everyone has to start their “scientist life” somewhere.

Last month we saw the first trailer for Halo Infinite and it looked, underwhelming. A few weeks ago we heard that Halo Infinite is being pushed back to 2021 and I think that’s for the better.
Last week, twitter user @Hoolopee recreated the trailer in the style of Super Mario 64. Now, I don’t want to say that it’s better, but the retorness of it makes it enjoyable. Would I play this, probably as a novelty for a day or two, but I don’t think I would go as crazy all out for achievements as I currently do with Halo as it exists now.
It’s still pretty ace looking if I were to say so myself. But it also shows just how far technology has progressed since the mid 1990s.

It turns out, esteemed scientist and YouTube Star CuriosityBeyond determined there are roughly 1.5 cobs of corn in a can of corn. It’s hard to say how big the can is, but it looks like a normal can you would make for a summer BBQ. I’m not sure about his cooking methods, but that’s not my microwave, I have no ability to judge.
You should keep this in mind while you cook your first corn on the cob this weekend. Save those cobs, then buy a bunch of cans of corn for 4th of July and use this method. It’s certified faster because there’s no shucking involved. There’s no messy strings on the corn, and it cooks faster too!

Did you know about these? I didn’t until cursing around reddit (more so than usual being stuck inside). It’s a Hail Cannon. Apparently it’s useless, but it’s still pretty crazy. Basically a controlled explosion directed upwards to try and break up hail stones before they can fall to the ground. I’m not so sure how well it would work, and the research is inconclusive because the weather is, as always unpredictable.

Remember that miniature concrete building that some guy made? Here’s a bridge version of it. It looks slightly better, except the on and off ramp look way too steep for the scale. I gotta admit, the whole thing of building real life miniatures is pretty cool, but it’s pretty strange too. Like I get it if you’re using it to demonstrate something, but to do it for fun? I don’t need a scale model bridge.

I really don’t see a need for this, but it exists because someone made it. That someone is Ameron Rosvall, a prop maker and juggler (according to his Instagram), also the owner of a pretty sick beard. He’s got some pretty neat contraptions on his Instagram, but that one above is the king. He looks so satisfied getting the balls to remain in their loops just dancing around. He’s got some pretty good hand-eye-chin coordination too, check out this one:

Have you ever wanted a car? What about a LEGO car? How about a Ford Mustang? Well you’re in luck because a few years ago LEGOLand Florida built a full sized 1964 Ford Mustang, completely out of LEGO Bricks. 194,900 of them to be exact. Some were DUPLO bricks, but that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme. They even built in working head and tail lights. It’s lighter than an actual Ford Mustang, but I bet if you put the engine and transmission in it would approach it. It’s probably not very good in a crash. Though a car from 1964 is also probably not one you want to crash in, so it’s a wash there.
Reddit user CTpizza23 made a farm house style sink out of walnut. It looks gorgeous, but as many of the commenters on the reddit thread mentioned, it will not last.It’s a shame that we can’t make something waterproof and still transparent, I would love to have something like this in my house one day. Though I understand the issues with why it’s not the best idea.
Real time data, weather data, it’s all interesting isn’t it?
On Nullschool.net you can explore real time wind data and watch weather patterns form. It’s pretty neat if I do say so myself. Check it out if you can, I am.
