This is Ode To…, a weekly column where we share the stuff we’re really into in hopes that you’ll be really into it, too.

Thankfully, the cultural peak of the unboxing video has come and gone. Do you really want to watch another person open a new iPhone or a box from Glossier? But there’s still room for riffs on the genre — for example, these profoundly disturbing “wet unboxing” clips from artist Alex Frost.

Each video shows Frost opening up a package of some kind underwater. The stuff, whatever it is, oozes into the water, usually turning it gray and filling it with weird flakes. It’s absolutely nauseating. I can’t stop watching. Read more…

It’s Viral Market Crash week on Mashable. Join us as we take stock of the viral economy and investigate how the internet morphed from a fun free-for-all to a bleak hellscape we just can’t quit.

While this deep and relatively difficult to access part of the internet is often used for nefarious activities like selling drugs and or stolen goods, merchants on this corner of the web look like they’re expanding their services.

Actor Verne Troyer got a sweet new ride for Christmas, and he takes us for a spin in this video on his YouTube channel. 

It’s a Tesla…. Model S for Kids, by Radio Flyer. (“Ages 3 to 8… I’m 48,” Troyer points out in the video.) He manages to get it out of the box and shows us its features, which are pretty sweet. You can charge the battery and plug it in, just like the adult-size Tesla.

Troyer’s got a need for speed so he takes it to a scorching 6 mph.

Make sure you stick around for the outtakes at the end — looks like Troyer is a lot of fun to film.  Read more…
