Awesome stuff, funny videos, cool gadgets, fast cars and other awesome things at The Awesomer.
Nate from the Internet originally titled his video “Opening Cans as Fast as Possible!,” but that’s another way of saying “Shooting at Cans.” Still, it’s always fun to watch things explode in slow motion, and that’s what you’ll get here, as Nate and his pals take aim at pressurized cans of spray paint, expanding foam,
Filmmaker Louis Skupien took an incredible F-16 Viper fighter jet flight with Air Force pilot “Hash”, hitting speeds over 1300 MPH over the Mojave. This surprisingly chill cockpit footage comes from a Full Throttle episode about Edwards Air Force Base, the 416th Flight Test Squadron, and the F-16 – well worth a watch for anyone
We’ve heard high praise for the comfort and fit of Nike’s Rejuven8, so we’re tempted by the iD option: choose the color for everything from the molded upper to the Nike swoosh.
Did you know there’s an actual sword in the stone? While it’s not Excalibur, it does appear to have served as inspiration for the legend. In this video, Kelevin explores this and other stories that appear to be grounded in reality, as archaeological evidence has helped connect the dots between fact and fiction. Turns out
Red Bull’s hilarious Spin Off and Stalen Ros events see crazy-looking bicycles riding through a skinny obstacle course and mostly falling in the water. They treated pro riders Danny MacAskill and Kriss Kyle to a version with much harder obstacles. It helps that their bikes weren’t covered in decorations, but there was nothing easy about

Remember the video game, Paperboy? You know, the one where you scored points by flinging newspapers at people’s welcome mats and mailboxes? Paper Boy Deep is a real-life master at tossing newspapers exactly where he wants them to go. Watch as he perfectly places papers between through doorways, under gates, and into the hands of
It’s been a long time in the making, but Delicious 2.0 has finally launched. The social bookmarking service has added *gasp* graphics and more colors! It’s more intuitive, too. Aww yeah.
Desktopography has been around since 2005 providing lush outdoor-themed wallpapers. Our favorite is Blue Moon, a fantastical portrait of the Earth flanked by myriad satellites.
WebUrbanist has a creepy collection of abandoned buildings from around the world. It’s like a horror movie director’s wet dream: insane asylums, condemned theme parks and crumbling hospitals.
We watched in awe as wingsuit world champion Espen Fadnes hit speeds exceeding 200 kph as he buzzed along the steep Trollstigen Road in Norway, zooming past a bus and a bike rider as he made his descent. The stunt was performed in collaboration with Zing Toothpaste, with producer Amber Forte riding the bike and
A trebuchet launches projectiles using a counterweight and swinging arm, but its speed is limited by the distance its weight travels. Tom Stanton engineered a compact trebuchet with a carbon fiber arm and a tapered drum to store energy and release it when its weight drops. It builds up so much speed that its projectiles
