While humans have made countless discoveries since the dawn of man, many of them never would’ve been possible without the discovery of fire. It’s simple enough to build a fire at this point, since we have plenty of lighters and accelerants at our disposal, but what this person pulls off with a lemon and some nails is way more interesting than lighting a fire with the grill lighter you have in your junk drawer. (via Design Taxi) Sure, it isn’t really convenient to toast marshmallows over a lemon, but experiments like this give us new insight into the wonderfully bizarre world of science.

When you think of animals with immense strength, honey bees probably don’t come to mind. While walking by a brick wall one day, this man turned and saw a bee investigating a nail. Wondering why on Earth a honey bee, a creature that’s been around for centuries, would be so interested in a piece of hardware, he turned on his camera and started filming. Perhaps one of its 170 odor receptors caught wind of the ultimate prize, or maybe its 200 wing beats per second tuckered it out and it needed a snooze. In any case, this little bug decided to show off its strength in a pretty baffling way. Someone should probably run and tell Dwayne Johnson that this little bee definitely smells what The Rock is cooking. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/bionic-bee/
When it comes to home construction (or any kind of construction, really) safety should always be your primary concern. If you’re not taking steps to ensure no bodily harm comes to you or those around you, then that’s just plain dumb. For example, one thing you should never do when building something is use your own hand as a hammer. I wish this was just a hypothetical, but sadly, it’s not, as you can see in the video below. It’s equal parts horrifying and impressive. Well that’s going to leave a mark. Hopefully he has really good health insurance and his employer is all paid up on their premiums!
