How to Impress Her Family
Okay, this video is well worth reading subtitles, but there's a chance you may miss something and have to go back and watch it again to get the full effect. That's not bad, because it's still funny the second time around. In the Argentinian ad called "Braids," a young man has dinner with his girlfriend's family and gets to meet them all for the first time. You know how nerve-wracking that can be. What might not be apparent is that this award-winning ad is for soda. (via reddit)

Cats Solve a Dog Puzzle
Roy and Moss are Norwegian forest cats. The puzzle they are confronted with is designed for dogs, but can be fun for cats, too, if they don't claw the treats out from the top or stick their face down in it like Roy does. Moss, on the left, stumbles upon the solution once, then seems to remember it for a second attempt. The third level is baffling, though, as that lever is on Roy's side, and the cat is too polite to invade his brother's space. But he finally figures it out. You can almost see the gears going around in the cats' heads. Well, at least Moss's head. Roy is happy to let his brother do the heavy thinking. See more of Roy and Moss at Instagram.
The Library on Horseback
How do you send a bookmobile around to places where there are no roads? In the 1930s, eastern Kentucky was full of tiny towns, coal camps, and isolated homesteads, but very few drivable roads to connect them. There were also few libraries, and they had few books. The Great Depression only made conditions worse. To fight illiteracy and help the small rural schools, the WPA launched a New Deal program called the Pack Horse Library Initiative, to deliver books to the most inaccessible Appalachian hollows by librarians or other "book women" riding horses or mules.

Send Us Thine Asteroid, O Lord
Joseph Murray performed a little song for voice and organ. Yes, it does sound like a classic hymn.
In the interest of clarity, based on some of the commentary here, NO, this is not a real song 🤷🏾♂️, YES, the Pastor of the church in question has heard it and thinks it's hilarious, NO, it does not represent the beliefs of this congregation. If your sense of humor is limited by your interpretation of the faith, that sounds like a conversation you need to have with your God.(via Strange Company)
Larry, Episode One
We knew that Auralnauts was planning a series about Larry. It appears they made their fundraising goal, because episode one is here! The first three minutes are a less-than explanatory montage setting up the story. Then Larry explains his party background to Luke Skywalker. They managed to take clips from many different Star Wars films plus Obi-Wan Kenobi and make it a lot of fun. They say there will be six episodes in all, just like Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries.
