Horse Plays Harp, Is Recording Album With Human Caretaker

Horse Plays Harp, Is Recording Album With Human Caretaker

Because it’s hard to complain about a bandmate that only wants to be paid in carrots, this is a video of rescue horse Yupia (who already has the hair of an emo frontman) playing the harp with caretaker Mikayla Theone Khramov, who’s using some of Yupia’s samples for an upcoming album. Am I going to make my mom drive me to the mall so I can buy the CD the day it comes out? No, what is this, the 90’s? I wish it was, AI will probably just download it into my brain. In the videos it appears Yupia genuinely does enjoy playing the harp, but there’s also the very real possibility he’s just scratching himself. I know this because 9/10ths of the time I think my girlfriend is loving on me she’s really just scratching something. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take what I can get, but it doesn’t feel great. Especially if it’s one of those pointy-ass elbows. They could cut glass!

Some bonus accordion action included below, but he also dabbles in guitar and banjo. More videos on Mikayla’s Instagram page.





Terrifying Crawling Girl Halloween Decoration Made With Humanoid Robot

Terrifying Crawling Girl Halloween Decoration Made With Humanoid Robot

Because you can never go too far with Halloween decorations (don’t quote me on that), this is a video from Logan Olson of a creepy crawling girl made using a Unitree G1 humanoid robot, which were upgraded with a crawl mode last year. The way it instantly drops down to all fours is wild (and terrifying). G1 robots start at $13,500 though, so I’ll be making a paper mache witch head instead.

Jeans Made Of All Pockets Has 41 Functional Pockets

Jeans Made Of All Pockets Has 41 Functional Pockets

Because when it comes to hard drives and jeans you can never have enough storage, this is a video of fashion designer Cory Infinite’s ‘Infinite Pocket Jeans’. Despite the name, the pockets are actually finite, and total 41. That is a far cry from infinite, but also a far cry from the five measly pockets my jeans have. Mine do have a lot of extra holes though, I just can’t put anything in them without it falling down my pant leg. Has anybody seen a roll of singles? The Infinite Pocket Jeans consist of 14 front pockets, 7 front change pockets, 2 side pockets, and 18 rear pockets, and Cory demonstrates their carrying capacity in the video. They can fit a lot of stuff. Probably great for shoplifting. Also probably great for forgetting what pocket your wallet is in. *frantically rummaging through pockets at checkout as customers behind me grow restless* Well if I could just find my phone I could check my pocket spreadsheet!

Crab Wearing An Anemone As A Backpack

Crab Wearing An Anemone As A Backpack

If there was ever a freaky deaky contest (and there may be — I tend to stick to the shallows of the internet), Mother Nature would win hands down. And she wouldn’t even show up to claim her prize, she’d be too preoccupied pushing the freaky deaky envelope out in the wild. Case in point: these videos of a deep sea crap wearing an anemone as a backpack. “I think you meant crab.” So I did — good catch.

“In addition to their long, thin walking legs, Homolidae crabs (also known as “porter crabs”) have modified rear appendages they use to pick up anemones and other things on the seafloor. Scientists speculate that this behavior could be related to physical camouflage, chemical camouflage, or predator defense.”

So the crabs use their custom modified appendages (thanks evolution!) to pick up and carry around anemones. But what are the anemones getting out of it? Is this relationship entirely one-sided? I have so many questions, but you know Mother Nature isn’t going to answer because she’s too busy stuffing spiders into frog butts or something.


‘Cacophony’ Marble Maze Designed Specifically To Make A Bunch Of Noise

'Cacophony' Marble Maze Designed Specifically To Make A Bunch Of Noise

Marble mazes: I used to love making them as a kid. I probably still would, but who has the time for fun? My Playstation controller doesn’t even hold a charge between the times I’m able to play. This is a video demonstration of the ‘Cacophany’ marble maze constructed by Jelle’s Marble Runs over the course of 278 hours. It has hoppers to run either 200 or 1,000 marbles and was designed specifically to make a bunch of noise as marbles travel along its track and includes “128 bells and chimes, but also a large number of drums, funnels, springs, nails, wooden sticks and more.” It was an enjoyable watch. My across-the-street neighbor leaving for work with his coffee on top of his car? Also enjoyable, because he’s a jerk. If he didn’t let his dog poop in my yard when he thinks I’m not looking (I’m always looking) I might have said something. Well, if I’d had any clothes on, which I didn’t, and still don’t. *shrug* It’s a slow morning. “It’s 2PM.” Sure, but it’s 8AM in Honolulu. “And are you in Honolulu?” Only in the fake vacation album I made with AI to brag about on Instagram. “This is a photo of you swimming with mermaids.” You should have been there, it was once in a lifetime!

Man MMA Fights 6-Foot Humanoid Robot With Terminator Head

Man MMA Fights 6-Foot Humanoid Robot With Terminator Head

These are a couple videos of Instagrammer Frankie LaPenna battling remote-controlled humanoid robots in the ring. The first is a Chinese EngineAI T800 (yes, they named it after the Terminator — it’s the same model that kicked the company’s CEO in this video) that’s had its head replaced with an actual Terminator head. Some more details while I don’t battle any robots because I haven’t given up on life just yet.

The machine shown is a real EngineAl humanoid robot, which weighs roughly 165 lbs (75kg) and is made of aviation grade magnesium-aluminum alloy. The robot is being driven via real-time remote control during the fight, with preset button triggered animations.

The Terminator wins the first fight, knocking LaPenna down with a solid kick. He then battles a second, steel-built robot with a Predator head. He knocks it down, but that thing gets up QUICK. Too quick. Of course a robot getting up at all after you knock it down is too quick as far as I’m concerned. I mean I didn’t knock it down on accident. I was really hoping to see a shower of sparks and maybe its head pop off Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em style. Then, as its voice transistors are dying, it utters its last words, “Robot…apocalypse…thwarted.” I’m hailed as a hero and the crowd of bystanders tries to pick me up to carry on their shoulders before deciding a pat on the shoulder and a “Good going, guy!” are sufficient.
