Did you see that?!?!

The U.S. conducted 210 atmospheric nuclear tests between 1945 and 1962, with multiple cameras capturing each event at around 2,400 frames per second. But in the decades since, around 10,000 of these films sat idle, scattered across the country in high-security vaults. Not only were they gathering dust, the film material itself was slowly decomposing, bringing the data they contained to the brink of being lost forever.

For the past five years, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory weapon physicist Greg Spriggs and a crack team of film experts, archivists and software developers have been on a mission to hunt down, scan, reanalyze and declassify these decomposing films.

Frightening.

Not just the horrifying destructive power of these bombs, but the abject stupidity of youtube commentators.

Ohmygod, this is awesome!

21 years worth of Joe Buck Fox promos during baseball playoffs... mostly for shows that have been entirely forgotten.

Amazingly cool video of lice climbing around in a man's public hair. From the New England Journal of Medicine.

You did say 'public hair', which is better than his 'pubic hair'.

These are fascinating videos and photos of the California fires - but I'm not sure how I feel about making art out of something so devastating and deadly.

Stunning.

This video was simply terrifying. I'd be afraid I was driving to my death.

Your hesitation is really a question about the purpose of art, isn't it? Is art just about aesthetics and beauty? or should art also be used to explore issues like fear, loss, or the impact of climate change?

I can't even solve the thing with unlimited time so I have no idea how this is even possible.

This stop motion film maker uses a mill to cut 1/2000th of a log, takes a photo, mills, takes a photo, and the results are insane. The time and effort that went in to this is also nuts.
