We All Need More Hand Ballet in Our Lives

If you do nothing else today, watch this video. We’ve never seen anything like it. Which doesn’t happen all that often anymore. When you spend your days perusing the internet for interesting things, you see a lot. But this is quite singular. We think it’s for the Paralympics but we’re also not sure because it’s in French. Not the point.  Point is, this is a spectacular thing to witness.

We Had to Fact Check What this Award-winning Skincare Brand is Giving You

[Partner]  Geologie makes skincare for dudes simple, powerful, and personal. But we already knew that. What we had to fact check is that they’re giving you 70% off a 30-day trial set. Can that be right? It is. We checked. With just four products, one minute in the morning, and one minute at night, Geologie helps you deal with breakouts, rejuvenates your skin, and combats lines and wrinkles. No fads. No seaweed hooplah. Just a simple, trusted formula for an easy skincare routine.  And for real. They’re giving you 70% off with code ELEVATOR70.

A Convincing Case for Leonardo da Vinci’s Best Painting Being Not the Mona Lisa

Don’t roll your eyes at pretentious art history videos. This one is not that. It’s an extremely understandable and interesting take on paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. Ya know, the guy who made the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. But he also created this. And it’s probably his best work. This video will help you understand why.  Pro tip: Skip to 1:20. The first part is a promo for a book you don’t need.

The Most Insane Ski Run Ever Imagined

Winter’s coming. Which isn’t great news for us. We prefer the spring and fall (who doesn’t?). Unless we’re on the slopes. Then, we love winter and can’t get enough of it. So in preparation/appreciation of the colder times ahead, we found the most epic ski run we’ve ever seen. Plus, the soundtrack is incredible. It’s like Chef’s Table meets Christopher Nolan meets Red Bull.  Trust us, it’ll all make sense.

How They Built the World’s Longest Underwater Tunnel

Technically, this led to the invention of something called the Tunnel Boring Machine (a.k.a. “The Mole”). But the story behind the world’s longest underwater tunnel is anything but boring. Complex? Hard to even wrap your mind around? Sure. Boring? No.  Here’s how they did it.

Throwback

The Guy Who Faked His Way into NASCAR and Then Disappeared Forever (circa 1982)

We just want to make sure you understand what’s going on here. A guy. Snuck into NASCAR. Actually raced in one race. Then, disappeared forever. No one knows where he came from. No one knows where he went. All we know is that his name was L.W. Wright. Or at least that’s what he went by.  Well, for two weeks he went by L.W. Wright.

The Mixer

Squid Game season 2 is officially happening. Willie Nelson’s open letter about wild horses. Do flies really throw up on your food? How Succession makes wealth look miserable. Tom Hanks’ top 3 Tom Hanks movies. The ultra-rare cotton candy lobster. 2021’s most livable cities. How mosh pits came to hip-hop. Every dude’s skincare routine should be as simple as this.*
