If you don’t cringe and close your eyes a few times watching this seven-minute compilation of close calls with death, you’re probably a robot. I just can’t believe all these people survived these accidents, sometimes by only an inch.

Twitter user Chris (RaiderTex52) just posted this photograph taken yesterday by his friend Ryan Scott, flying at 38,000 feet northwest of Amarillo, Texas. It’s a massive haboob—the arabic term for a type of intense dust storm. It just looks like The Nothingness is eating Texas like a good juicy steak.

I never solved the Rubik’s Cube, so when I see this dude breaking the world record for solving six cubes of increasing complexity—2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7—in just 6 minutes and 23 seconds, I just can think two things: "That’s insane" and "I’m useless."

The White War—a snow-bound World War I battle between Italy and Austria—claimed the lives of countless soldiers way up in the Alps. Now, melting ice is revealing frozen soldiers, some of them perfectly preserved—but not Captain America-preserved—for nearly a century.

You see that speck at the top of the mountain? That’s snowboarder Matt Annetts standing on top of a 3600 feet tall mountain face that’s so steep it looks completely vertical. And he’s going to snowboard down the whole damn thing. And you get to watch him. And yeah, it’s nuts. Breath evaporatingly nuts.

Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze is a French photographer who loves Hong Kong. These stunning photos are from his latest book, Vertical Horizon, "a deep immersion into the city’s thick atmospheres and a visual record of its wildly diverse built environment." Some of the buildings seem to go on forever. When I look at them, I feel like I’m go fall into the sky.

The luckiest deer in the world
Posted in: Today's Chili
If you thought you had problems with the snow, be happy that at least the snow—and the ground itself—is not exploding under your feet, like it happened to this deer. I can’t believe he survived that one. Watch the video, because it’s even better.
