All Movie Trailers Are the Same Freaking Thing

Apr 12, 1:30AM

Let's all admit it: we love movie trailers. A minute or two of bite sized scenes showing off great looking shirtless actors with even better looking almost topless actresses combined with explosions, laughs, mind blowing sequences and a tinge of sex is a wonderful formula to get us hyped. Even if all movie trailers are cut the same way, I'll never not get excited to watch them. Animation Domination High Def creates a song and exposes a formula in this silly animation on how to make a movie trailer. It's hilarious. [Animation Domination High Def] More »

The Science of Rocket Fuel Explained With Soda Bottles and Slo-Mo

Apr 11, 8:20PM

Rocket engines require two important ingredients to fire: fuel, and an oxidizer. And to get the most bang for your buck with those ingredients, you need to find the perfect recipe. As the BBC series Bang Goes the Theory demonstrates with three plastic soda bottles, maxing out on either ingredient doesn't produce as effective a chemical reaction as ensuring the two are in perfect balance. There's a reason they call it rocket science after all. [YouTube via The Awesomer] More »

The Most Over-Engineered Flask Known To Man

Apr 11, 7:20PM

Finding ways to stealthily transport alcohol has been a long-time obsession for man. We've used just about anything imaginable to do so, too, including fruit and animal bladders. Around the 18th century, though, we found a more refined and possibly more sanitary way to do so with the hip flask, which, at the time, was mostly used by the privileged class. So it should come as no surprise that The Macallan and Oakley's recent collaboration has amounted to the most over-engineered and expensive mass-produced flask known to man. More »
