A Bad Lip Reading of The NFL 2019
The folks at Bad Lip Reading do this every year. We don't know what the NFL players are really saying, so random guesses will do, as long as they fit the lips.
Indomation
Inspired by the Jurassic Park movies, Mason Drumm made a stop-motion animated short film in which a dinosaur invades a guy's house. When I say "guy," I mean an articulated artist's mannequin. Th attention to detail here is amazing, and the story is pretty good, too. Clever girl! There's a making-of video here. (via Laughing Squid)
The Real Villain
He speaks the truth, when he is forced to. This comic is from Zach Weinersmith At Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

How Popcorn Saved the Movies
When theaters began showing movies more than 100 years ago, popcorn (and all food) was forbidden. Over time, it became a case of "If you can't beat them, join them." Cheddar explains the big turnaround in movie theater popcorn. (via Laughing Squid)
Celebrities Freaking Out Over Meeting Other Celebrities
People get excited, and sometimes overwhelmed, when they meet celebrities they've known only from pop culture. But celebrities are just people who became famous, so these celebrities are also in awe of those they've admired only in pop culture. Television sometimes captures the first meetings between celebrities, some who are long-time fans of the other. Sometimes it even goes both ways. Here's a cute compilation of a few such public meetings. (via Laughing Squid)
Obsolete
And with one breath, Jeff realized he had turned into a curmudgeon. It happens to everyone sooner or later. This is the latest comic from Don't Hit Save.
Living in the World's Coldest Town
We are familiar with the Siberian towns of Yakutsk, Oymayakon, and Norilsk, only because they are very cold and inhospitable. But the town with the coldest recorded temperature on earth is also in Siberia. Verkoyansk has recorded a temperature of 90 degrees below zero! That's -67.8 in centigrade. Verkoyansk is also notably hot in the summer (go figure), so it has a second world record for the largest temperature differential. Half as Interesting gives us a short lesson in temperature and meteorology that explains Verkoyansk, and also some trivia about what living in such a town is like.

Cat Gets Existential
This is Tingeling, a cat in Oslo who looks an awful lot like a young Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. Or perhaps an owl.
There are more videos featuring Tingeling in the Instagram gallery she shares with her brother Tussetroll, some silly and some just cute. (Thanks, Gothgrrl!)
