This video explores the fascinating history behind Bermuda's unique white-roof rainwater harvesting system.
Because Bermuda has no natural rivers, lakes, or freshwater springs, early settlers had to find a creative way to survive. The tradition traces back to July 1609

Iconic showrunner Chuck Lorre on the origin story of one of his greatest creations — 'The Big Bang Theory' — and why the 279th and final episode of the 12-year series is his all-time favorite.
From co-writing the TMNT theme song to generating billions, Chuck Lorre rules television history. 📺 The Big Bang Theory had the massive global empire, but the edgy, unapologetic peak of Two and a Half Men proved his genius. 👑 The ultimate king of the modern sitcom. 🎬
Chuck’s new memoir, Sitcom, is available now wherever you get your books!

Last Sunday made it 55 years since the premiere of 'The Electric Company' and in 2017, Morgan Freeman told us why he was "terrified" to work on the kids show:
I remember this! 😂 Morgan Freeman narrating Spidey Super Stories was hilarious, and somehow I completely forgot it was HIM! 🤣
Thanks to Rich Eisen for reminding me! Now I can’t unhear that legendary voice narrating Spider-Man! 🕷️😂

One of the best-written songs of the past two decades, and that voice sounds like it came straight from an angel. ❤️

Ever notice that in Dune humans fly spaceships between planets but don't use a single computer?
That's not a plot hole. It's completely on purpose. The movies barely explain why, but once you know, almost everything else in Dune starts to make sense.
About 10,000 years before Paul Atreides, humans did exactly what we're doing right now. They built thinking machines to make life easier. They let the machines do their work and make their decisions, hoping it would set them free.
Instead, the people who controlled those machines gained the power to enslave everyone else.
Humanity eventually fought back in a holy war called the Butlerian Jihad, and won. The thinking machines were destroyed.
To make sure it would never happen again, they made one rule sacred: "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."
But getting rid of computers created a problem: who would do their work? The answer was humans.
Mentats are trained from childhood to think like computers. Navigators use the spice to glimpse the future and steer ships safely through space. The Bene Gesserit spend generations pushing the human mind and body to their limits.
Every superpower in Dune exists for one reason: there are no computers.
That's my favorite thing about Dune. It's also the most terrifying. Dune isn't a future without AI. It's the future after AI.
Frank Herbert wrote that in 1965.

How Does a Dart With No Explosives Kill a Tank?
The ultimate evolution of an arrow. We've gone full circle from throwing rocks at each other 😆 A sabot dart—officially known as an APFSDS (Armour-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot)—has no explosives. A sabot dart destroys tanks with pure speed. Fired at a blinding Mach 5, this hyper-dense metal rod concentrates all its energy onto a point the size of a coin. The impact is so violent that the solid tank armor behaves like liquid, allowing the dart to punch straight through. Once inside, the friction and pressure create a catastrophic 'spall'—a white-hot cloud of shredded armor and metal fragments that bounces around the interior, destroying everything in its path. via @OddFrameFilms67
The Fastest Plane Ever Flown Couldn't Take Off | X-15
In 1967 the X-15 hit Mach 6.7—4,520 mph—with a pilot at the controls. It was a pure rocket research plane, air-launched and flown for pure speed and altitude data. No crewed airplane has gone faster since, because sustained hypersonic flight remains brutally hard and expensive, and the bold, high-risk research programs of that era largely gave way to more practical (and unmanned) efforts. via @OddFrameFilms67

Doesn't even matter what the judges thought, he won the crowd. That's the key to any performance.

One of the top ten performances in history, and all she does is stand there and sing—no dancers, no nose rings, no wild gimmicks, no auto-tune.
I don’t think the crowd realizes how lucky they are to hear this live.
