Slow motion video might be the closest thing we have to actual brain-hacking. Well, except drugs.
I never don't watch slow-motion videos. Send me a video of a dog running in slow motion and I'll stare at it like it contains all the mysteries of the cosmos. Send me a video of a grown man shaving his back in slow motion and I'd watch it like it's Citizen Kane. I am a slave to slo-mo. We all are! You're kidding yourself if you think you're not going to watch all of this new video from the Danish TV show Dumt & Farligt. It's got every slow, destructive thing you've ever wanted to see and about 30 more.
