Want to instantly shatter a car window? Just throw a tiny porcelain bit

If I had to pick a hammer or a tiny piece of porcelain to shatter a car window, I’d probably think nothing of it and grab the mallet. NatGeo proves me wrong.

This real life version of a Mario Kart cart is all I want in my life

I don’t want much. A bed to sleep on, a nice pair of shoes, some beer to drink and I’m good. Or so I thought. Now I could care less about any of that because all I want in my life is this drifting Crazy Cart XL. It’s basically the real life version of the cart in Mario Kart.
