Historic Vids @historyinmemes

This isn't a photograph -- it's a painting by Danish artist Peder Mork Monsted (1859--1941).

For the next vid, I had to look up the term "trophy truck." Google AI:

A trophy truck is a heavily customized, high-speed off-road racing vehicle built to handle extreme desert terrain at speeds exceeding 130 mph.

Check out the suspension on this truck, nom-nom-noming over hills and ruts.

I guess this guy uses random paint strokes and splatters to push him towards fresh images and not the first ones to pop into his head. At any rate, it does wind up looking like something. Or maybe it's just a gimmick. Either way, it's not just splatter.

Mechanizing weed-pulling. Calm down, Jack Straw, I mean the weeds that you can't smoke. The non-wacky ones.

Forced perspective fakery.

A (fake) highway disaster we should have seen coming.

Stronk Empowered Rock Formations.

Piloting a drone down a tall industrial chimney. Reminds me of Blofeld's demise in For Your Eyes Only.

Brazen thieves on a motorcycle attempt to rob a moving truck. A quick application of the brakes results in a painful, hilarious end to the banditry. The Fast and the Furious lied to you.

The Disappearing Mom Trick, a secret learned from wise men of the Himalayas.

The redbud or Judas tree produces flowers from the trunk itself.

In 1991, a Nigerian "prophet" attempted to reproduce the miracle of Daniel in the lion's den by entering a zoo enclosure full of lions. It didn't go great.

Automatic Goat Scritcher. We live in an age of marvels.
