Earth’s Gateway to Hell is Getting Bigger

Siberia’s Batagaika Crater is about 215 acres in area, and local residents refer to it as the ‘Gateway to Hell.’ It’s a retrogressive thaw slump so large it’s considered a ‘megaslump,’ and its size is increasing by the day.

  It’s either a ‘tadpole’ shape, or the universe is subjecting us all to a very cruel Rorschach test.

Slump? Same thing as a sink hole? What is a slump and how is it different than a sink hole?

  That’s a pretty good question — in the most basic terms, a sinkhole is when there’s a cavity in the ground from material having been removed (for any number of reasons), while a slump is when rock under the surface slides down a slope. Sinkholes are usually from chemical dissolution of some kind, while slumps are mass wasting/mass movement (gravity taking action as opposed to chemical changes).

why did these channels always make such weird comparisons. not many people know how big Vatican City is and it’s not very big so why even use that as an example if you’re trying to say it’s enormous

How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987

Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever. With professional-grade setups costing up to…

With professional-grade setups costing up to six figures at the time, the Videonics brought simple editing to the masses at a tiny fraction of the price… in theory. The reality of the Videonics video editing system was a jumbled mess of retro tech that took a near-miracle to make your kid’s 8th grade jazz band concert video look a little more polished.

And getting it all to work over 35 years later? It took 8 VCRs, 2 camcorders, 3 Videonics units and 4 remotes to create a 1987-era YouTube masterpiece. But in the end, it revealed the beauty and drive of the first-generation analog filmmakers and videographers who made YouTube possible for all of us.

The $68 Million Instant Movie Disaster (Polavision)

Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech. Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and…

Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and the company he founded on the success of the Polavision, I need to figure out how to get the thing to work… and only one man in the world could help me.

I traveled to Vienna, Austria to meet Florian “Doc” Kaps – the man behind ‘The Impossible Project’ that saved Polaroid from the dustbin of history. With his guidance and his private store of old Polaroid video tapes, perhaps I would be able to record a modern YouTube video with my vintage Polavision camera.

Through it all, Doc immersed me into his world of analog technology and the philosophy behind his mission to re-integrate analog into our daily lives. We cut lacquer records, we felt the fires of an analog restaurant, and we spent too much time trying to resurrect a relic of the past – because technology, vintage and modern, is all about people.
