I always find the videos by Bill Hammack (a/k/a EngineerGuy) explaining everyday items to be fascinating. He consistently manages to explain the complex ideas behind simple items in an understandable way.
Here's one on the common soda can, which he calls ingenious:
And one on the soda bottle ("Masterful"):
I don't know what YouTube user Hoog has to do with the AnyDesk software, but this video was extremely well done: How To Disable a Robot Dog:
The people (person?) behind the YouTube channel Abandoned Films has finally taken on the Matrix, making a 50s-esque trailer for the film using AI.
AF have done a bunch of these before. I'm not sure what their relationship to Demon Flying Fox is, but surely they're related.
In today's WTF:

Someone has posted the entirety of Rupert Goold's version of Macbeth to Youtube. It is... something else, and well worth your time.
This is from the Youtube description:
Macbeth is a 2010 television film based on William Shakespeare's tragedy of the same name. It was broadcast on BBC Four on 12 December 2010. In the United States, it aired on PBS' Great Performances. Rupert Goold directed it from his stage adaptation for the Chichester Festival Theatre in 2007. Patrick Stewart is featured in the title role, with Kate Fleetwood as Lady Macbeth.
The film is a more modern re-imagining of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. It evokes the atmosphere of Romania in the 1960s, with parallels between Ceaușescu and Macbeth in their equally brutal quests for power. The Three Witches likewise receive an update in keeping with the 20th-century aesthetics, appearing as hospital nurses. Their presence is pervasive throughout the film, punctuating the horror of Macbeth's murderous reign.
