Watch This Magical Drone Footage of Castles Across Europe


Watch This Magical Drone Footage of Castles Across Europe

Sorry, I still have a Game of Thrones hangover, so when I watch this beautiful drone footage that gives sweeping views of castles across Europe, I see the map of Westeros in the opening credits come alive. Some of these castles are in ruins, some are near rivers, some are on islets, some are embedded on the mountain side but all are impressive strongholds that hold so much history.

Lazy Wolf Fails to Howl

Fuck, you guys. It's late in the day here on the East Coast, I just paid my credit card bill, and I have to go home and deal with the wasp nest I found in my living room this morning. But I'm not alone in my misery, and neither are you. Allow me to introduce you to a lazy ass wolf who sounds like Chewbacca after taking two hits of acid.

The Fascination With Self-Driving Cars Started Nearly 100 Years Ago

Last week, I spent a few days driving the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class
. Its semi-autonomous capabilities led to some discomfort-not due to their functioning, but due to the fact that I was behind the wheel of a car driving itself. It felt odd and futuristic, but, as it turns out, this movement started way back in the 1920s.

The Detail in This Apollo 11 Poster Is Almost as Amazing as the Trip Itself

5 Beyond Brilliant Action Scenes in Movies


5 Beyond Brilliant Action Scenes in Movies

Action movies are fun to watch but there's a smart way to do action scenes and an epically dumb way to do it. The smart way focuses in on the details, tells a story within a story, and makes sure we know just what the hell is going on amidst all the crazy. The dumb way? Explosions, shaky camera effects, chaos to blur the action, and just a general messiness that doesn't make any sense but looks cool.

Three Reasons Why DC's TV Universe Is Better Than Marvel's

Look. Arrow may be in a bit of a slump, The Flash may have made a few questionable decisions, and maybe Legends of Tomorrow was a little goofy for your taste. But it's worth taking a moment to remember that these DC superhero shows-along with Supergirl-are giving us some of TV's most absurdly awesome moments. Case in point!

Scary Video Shows a Bounce House Floating Away Straight into Power Lines


Scary Video Shows a Bounce House Floating Away Straight into Power Lines

This is definitely what you don't want to see at a kid's birthday party: a bounce house flying away straight into the power lines after being swept up in the air by a big gust of wind. You can actually see it first fly away from the power lines but then suddenly make a quick U-turn straight into the transmission tower. After it makes contact, sparks fly and a mini-explosion could even be heard. Scary.

Here's How Many Weapons a B-52 Bomber Can Hold

Watch a Cruise Ship Get Built 


Watch a Cruise Ship Get Built 

Cruise ships are basically giant floating cities. How do you build a giant floating city? Well, it's pretty much like playing with Lego bricks. This time lapse shows the construction process of building AIDA Cruises' new flagship in Nagasaki: the AIDAprima. The AIDAprima can hold up to 3,300 passengers with 900 crew members and is nearly 1,000 feet long. The ship cost $645 million to build and seeing it get put together almost makes it worth the sticker price.

Cool View of a Pilot Pouring Water Upside Down While Doing a Barrel Roll in a Fighter Jet


Cool View of a Pilot Pouring Water Upside Down While Doing a Barrel Roll in a Fighter Jet

It's always fun to melt your brain from what looks like the laws of physics breaking. Therefore, it's always fun to see a pilot pour water up into a cup while upside down in a fighter jet. It's something we've seen plenty before, but this view is especially cool. You get to see the entire process happen so clearly: the pilot pours the water while the plane twists around, the pilot drinks the water while it flips around, and then he holds the cup of water out for good measure as the plane goes upside down and doesn't miss a single drop.

Meet the People Building a Medieval Castle Without Using Any New Technology


Meet the People Building a Medieval Castle Without Using Any New Technology

Two hours outside of Paris stands Guédelon, a castle that looks like it's from the medieval period, but is actually being constructed right now. What's more, the castle isn't being built with new technology but instead with medieval techniques and materials. That means every stone, every tile, every single part of the castle is assembled as it would have been hundreds of years ago.
