I built a fake online shop where you check out with a fake card and nothing ever arrives. Purely for the dopamine.

You know that feeling when you click "Place Order" and the confirmation screen appears?

I wanted that feeling without spending money. So I built Never Deliver Shop.

It pulls real products, lets you browse, add to cart, enter a fake card, and go through a full checkout flow without actually placing the order.

The Exact moment Kilauea stops erupting after a 10 hour eruption (Sorry for the music, read description).

Sorry for the music, This was originally one of way too many clips that I used in an overall eruption video I put up on youtube back in January. Months later, I ran out of room on my PC for new videos and so I deleted a bunch of old clips, including this original clip. So this is the only version I have now, with the music at the end of my edited video where it fades to black. It was still absolutely amazing to see in person though!

In some parts of Germany, a tree is erected in the town center on May 1. Whoever manages to steal the tree from a neighboring town before it is erected enters into negotiations with that town to haggle over the “ransom.” This usually consists of large amounts of goods, such as beer, wurst or bread
