20 IMAGES

Friday!
Not taking any chances
This guy on the other hand
YEAH WE ARE
It hasn’t even been a hundred days
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
Someone’s making a VR Jenga game where your fingers get longer after every turn
When your camera’s frame rate syncs perfectly with the helicopter’s rotor
The 10-year challenge but make it robots
The tables have turned
Possibly relevant to the post above
I’m just joking, dogs are pure love
Accurate
Proving Pi with pie
Like shooting fish in a barrel
I felt that
5 years ago he told his sister he’d bring a llama to the wedding if she ever got married
Words to live by
The real MVPs
Until next week
