I thought losing my job to a robot was the worst-case scenario. Apparently it can also kick my arse.

The fridge wasn’t the only thing getting chilled.

Caught on camera in Turkey: a man helping move a refrigerator takes an unexpected dip in the swimming pool.

Someone took “web crawler” far too literally.

A spider built with JavaScript and CSS crawls across the page, using the text as footholds.

Finally, a browser bug with legs.

The only thing getting a raise today was the rear axle.

The crane decided to finish the workday before the operator!

Just stopped by to pray. 🙏

Tried to break a window. Accidentally filmed an advert for it. 😂

Wait… did you spot the lizard?

I was looking at the ladybird the whole time. Now I’m wondering how many animals I walk straight past without ever noticing.

@PicturesFoIder Surprise entrances, temporary deaths and everyone arguing about who’s strongest. I see the resemblance.

@crazyclipsonly Imagine the chemistry disappearing when the free trial ends.

The bear came to inspect the campsite. The horns changed its plans.

A young bear scrambled up a tree after tourists sounded loud horns beside the Pistajoki River in Karelia, Russia.

It later climbed down and retreated into the woods.

That climb really puts “I’ll just escape up a tree” into perspective.

Footage shows passengers aboard the Flydubai aircraft after its emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. The clip’s timing and connection to flight FZ1073 have not been independently verified.

[Second Look @SecondLookDesk]

BREAKING: Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv diverted to Saudi Arabia after a reported cockpit fight.

Channel 12 reportedly identified the pilots as Russian and Ukrainian. Passengers described screams and blood onboard. The plane landed safely.

The aircraft landed in Tabuk after transmitting emergency alerts, including a possible hijacking code. Israeli authorities later ruled out a hijacking.

Claims of a stabbing and an attempt to deliberately crash the plane remain unconfirmed.

Police released the dashcam footage after the September 29 encounter on Hokkaido’s Prefectural Road 49.

A bear researcher said the apparent mother’s behaviour looked defensive, giving her cub time to escape.

[Second Look @SecondLookDesk]

That insurance claim is going to need the dashcam.

A brown bear charged a stopped car in Bifuka, Japan, repeatedly hitting the bonnet and leaving dents and holes. The driver had stopped after spotting two bears believed to be a mother and cub.

The driver was unhurt.

CCTV captured a frightened horse fleeing fireworks through Amaluza, Ecuador, on September 21, dragging a torn-down stop sign behind it.

[Second Look @SecondLookDesk]

The stop sign had one job. Being towed by a horse wasn’t it.

A reminder that fireworks aren’t a celebration for every neighbour.

Backup arrived. Braking would have helped.

A Carabinieri patrol car hit a fellow officer during a stop near St Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Local reports say it was accidental and the officer escaped serious injury.

An investigation is reportedly underway.

The “find out” department has hooves.

A dog tried to bite a horse and got a swift kick in response. Vladikavkaz, Russia.

Someone really needed to have that dog on a lead.

A split second that mattered.

Railway staff rushed to help a woman who lost her balance while trying to get off a moving train at Prayagraj Junction, India, according to railway officials.

No missed stop is worth that risk.
