Reddit user Geeky_ shows how a scrap car can be magically transformed into an exotic sports car with expanding foam. The car, which is pretty much just a stripped metal body, gets fattened up with luxurious curves and looks like it costs a million bucks. Slick. Painted blob never looked so good.
These are The Kelpies, an impressive monument in The Helix, a land transformation project in Scotland. The two metal horse heads stand 98 feet high. This time-lapse video—created "over 60 days of stop-motion filming across 7 months"—show how they were built.
If you picture what sound looks like in your head, you’ll probably think of some picture graph of a sound wave. But no one can actually see those up and down scribbles with their eyeballs. So what does sound actually look like in real life? It’s invisible but sound looks like what you see in the GIF above. A gust of air.
I love The Graphonaut’s finely crafted animated GIFs. Simple, mesmerizing, no matter if they are 3D or 2D, analog or digital. Check out his demo reel of pure eye candy:
Imagine Venice with all its channels frozen solid. That’s what art director Robert Jahns did, using Photoshop with pretty neat results. I’d like to explore the city skating.
Professional photographer Blair Bunting takes some really awesome photos. He’s also an aviation freak. So much that he has flown in a F-16 twice—and he’s the honorary commander of the USAF 425th FS (Singaporean Air Force). He captured the incredible shot above in his latest flight with the Thunderbirds. Here are some of his photos:
It never gets old. My mind never stops being blown. The US Air Force pilots who somehow fly their Thunderbird F-16s so impossibly close like this will never become any less impressive. I wouldn’t even walk this close to another human, let alone touch tails in mid-air.
It must be the combination of the steel grey palette, the black accents, and their patches and rivets, but these two A-10s look especially cool and futuristic to me in this photo. Like they can be piloted by this guy:

Vsauce’s Michael Stevens answers a great question with the help of Yeti Dynamics: What if the moon was a disco ball? The answer is sad: The mirrors’ specular surface would make the moon almost invisible. However, things really get groovy if you put the disco moon at the same distance as the International Space Station.

They may not have not fought in any war yet, but the most expensive fighter jet ever sure makes some really pretty rainbows. Oh well, make love, not war. Those damn US Air Force hippies.
