This is the music video for Chicago-based OK Go’s ‘This Too Shall Pass’, which consists of an unbelievable 3:53 long Rube Goldberg machine. You have to watch it. I mean, you don’t haaave to, you’ll just miss out if you don’t. Then, at the water cooler tomorrow when we’re all talking about the awesome music video we saw you’ll just stand there looking stupid with your hands in your pockets. You’ll make a comment about a Lady Gaga video. We will point and laugh. You will cry. We won’t feel bad. Hit the jump for four making-of videos.

This is ‘Crawler Town’, a rolling LEGO city built by Flickr user and skilled LEGOlier Dave DeGobbi . And, like Rome , it wasn’t built in a day. OR SO THE HISTORY BOOKS SAY. They also don’t mention alien subcontractors, but I have my doubts. Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes Good looking, Dave. Reminds me of the opposite of Water World. What would we call that, Land World? Mad Maxtopia? I dunno, but I do know the 2Pac video for ‘California Love’ is the shit. “As soon as I step on the scene, I’m hearin’ hoochies screamin’.” Oh yeah, I can relate. Wait — are you bitches calling the cops?! I posted a couple more shots after the jump, but you should definitely hit David’s Flickr gallery (with more shots coming soon) to appreciate the build in high-res.
This is a graphic depicting what the internet goes through on a typical day. It’s pretty freakin’ impressive . But it also made me feel pretty insignificant. Then I realized I’m practically the ringleader of this circus (metaphor magic!) and that’s when I removed the hose from my exhaust pipe. How Huge Is the Internet on an Average Day? [gizmodo]
This is a video taken from the top of the Burj Dubai , the tallest building in the world, at 2,684 ft. Jesus, that’s half a mile . Can you believe humans are even capable of this? I can’t — I shit my swim trunks on the high dive once. But, to my credit, I did do one hell of a cannonball. This Video From the Tip Top of the Burj Dubai Makes Me Sick to My Stomach [gizmodo] Thanks to Rick, who has dived off higher platforms into a cup of water. I mean, he died, but he did do it.
Bob David went and built himself a 5,000 volt can crusher just because he could . That’s what I love about people : they do things for no reason . Also, some of them smell good . But don’t let ‘em catch you sniffing! If you care how Bob built the thing you can watch the first two minutes, but you look ADD-y, so skip to 2:15 for the action. Cool, huh? Now, let’s snort some Adderall. Say hello to the 5,000 volt can crusher [dvice]
NOTE : Video is arguably NSFW due to cartoon violence and what may or may not be a penis (it’s a penis. It’s 100% a penis) from 0:30 to 0:35. I have absolutely no idea what I just saw even though I watched it five times in a row. I really loved the style, but the subject matter gave me siesta-mares this afternoon. I know I promised I wouldn’t nap on the job anymore, but a siesta’s different. It’s cultural. Crazy Headsploding Animation Defies Any Classification [gizmodo]
NOTE : Double shot of bare ass at 1:24 and 1:28. You can’t get that at Starbucks! This is a video of some crazed Asian man dancing his ass off while displaying some of rarer Neo-Geo titles in his collection . It’s by far one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen, but I can’t help but watch it again and again. It has something to do with the way he dances , which is technically amazing. You can’t learn those moves in gym class! I don’t care how many times you offer to stay after school and help pick up the orange cones. NSFW: Topless Weirdo Shows Off His Neo-Geo Collection [kotaku] Thanks to Aisha, who once danced the devil under the table and then stole the bitch’s horns. Nice, I want to wear them!
What could be better after an article about a hideous dead monster than a food -related post ? Happy lunching west coasters! Do they sell good falafel out there? I’d appreciate some if they do. Also, ripe avocado. It’s the world’s biggest burger/heart-attacker and it comes courtesy of Steve Mallie of Southgate, Michigan. Guinness Book of World Records officially declared it the biggest after the burger weighed in at 185lbs . Steve, who owns Mallie Sports Grill, said it took them 15 hours total to bake the burger, but it was worth it. Being in Guinness was always one of Steve’s dreams. Steve said, ”I’ve worked my entire life to build this restaurant and being able to have the notoriety of Guinness makes it just that bit more rewarding.” Steve plans to sell the burger at his restaurant for $499. Who the hell’s gonna buy a 200lb, week old hamburger (which, technically, appears to be a cheeseburger) for $500? You know, besides yo momma. BU-BU-BU-BURN! She’s so fat she jumped and got stuck. OOOOOOOH, no I di-in’t! I just did though is the thing. KFed Just Came [dlisted]
