Paper airplanes are a cheap and easy way to have some innocent fun, but it can be hard to make one following a video. Here are some super simple GIFs to follow along if you want to make the most basic paper airplane. You won't need anything more than a flat surface and a piece of paper to make this paper airplane.

Sometimes, the best things in life are unexpected. And that includes GIFs too. So, just to keep you on your toes, here are eleven GIFs that are anything but predictable. Prepare to have your expectations not met. 

There's no doubt that The Matrix is one of the best films ever made. Released in 1999, visual effects of such high quality were virtually unseen before. But would The Matrix be as good if it's visual effects weren't as good? After watching Studio 188's low cost version of The Matrix, we can say, YES. This low budget version of the classic is as good (or better?) than the original, purely because of the creativity that went into recreating The Matrix on a low, low budget. And it will have you crying with laughter. This will make your week. 

Everyone knows how to make a basic paper airplane, but if you want to take your paper airplane skills to the next level, check out these easy GIFs for a super far-flying jet paper airplane. This is not your average jet paper airplane. Don't believe us? Go get some paper and see for yourseld!

To see other cool flying objects, have a look at these Estes model rockets launching, or see the real thing when SpaceX's Starship had a test flight.

I wonder where the pot of gold is in this case? Wherever it is, these visuals make up for the lost windfall. These are some absolutely incredible images of various planes from all over the world creating incredible artwork in the sky. Though conspiracy theories abound regarding contrails, it seems they are simply guilty of providing us with some amazing photographic opportunities. Michael Marston is a Brisbane-based photographer who has been posting these images to his social media, to viral acclaim.

The Changli Nemeca is the world's cheapest car, ranging from a whopping $950 up to $1200 depending on the features selected. That's right, you can buy a new car with all the money you waste on take out. Though the process wasn't as simple as ordering and waiting, it is clear the owner is absolutely stoked to take a look at his new car in-depth. 

If you have kids or are an eternal kid yourself (or just want to have some crafty fun), here's an easy to medium paper airplane for you to make. We've broken down every step so it's easy to follow. This is a glider style and requires a little more patience than the other paper airplane styles, but it is oh so worth it! What are you waiting for? Get folding! 

If you're impatient and want to get throwing your paper airplane, check out this tutorial for a quick to make paper airplane. Or see our comprehensive guide for paper airplane tutorials featuring eight different styles of paper airplanes.

To see other things flying, have a look at the SpaceX Starship having a test flight or these Estes model rocket launches.

That is not a typo. NASA has been hard at work developing the technology for the next mission to Mars. Part of that are the modules that will be part of the rover. An autonomous helicopter would be able to take pictures never seen before, and reach areas that the rover on the ground, would take far longer to reach, and might not even be accessible.

We're back at it again! In order to keep you procrastinating at optimal levels, we have the best video loops from all around the internet, all in one place.

What did the toilet say to the other toilet?

"Damn man, you look flushed."

Now that's what can be called ingenious use of what's available to you to solve a problem. This caribou is super resourceful. Sometimes you get that itch that you just cant manage to scratch. We need various back-scratchers to reach those difficult spots. But not this guy. This caribou has massive antlers that serve the same purpose. Talk about cost-cutting measures.

This was captured by local conservation workers in Denali, Alaska, and is a very rare occurrence to catch.

Amazing what a mere collection of water and ice and a few rocks can turn into. Saturn's rings are one of the most incredible sights in the night sky, and in space overall. Though their make up is unremarkable, since the 1970s when the Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft visited the system and gave us our first close-up look. 

What's more amazing is that unlike many other celestial bodies in our universe, that we need to physically reach in order to get a clear picture of, Saturn is close enough that we can get images like those below.

Boston Dynamics' have finally released their latest project. After viral videos of their project BigDog, which was designed for DARPA, they went for something more the size of a small dog. This robot has become a viral sensation from its development and capability videos, and now, it can finally be yours. That's right, Boston Dynamics is selling their robotic quadruped targeted at construction areas and similar uneven terrain. From hauling wait to opening doors, this robot has an incredible range of capabilities. We present: Spot.

You might think you know black... But you don't know Black. Vantablack took the world by storm when it was shown to be the most light absorbent material ever created. It absorbs 99.96% of light, and was recently used by BMW to advertise a Vantablack covered SUV using nanotechnology to adhere the substance to the car. 

But MIT was not to be outdone, and created the darkest substance ever found, though their feat was unintentional. Now they have put their discovery on display, in one of the most incredible exhibits possible.

We know how much you love GIFs. We really do. If you've already seen the past GIFs from last week, the week before and the week before that, don't worry. We have a bunch of fresh new GIFs here waiting just for you. Dig in and get your daily dose of GIFs!

The Boeing Starliner capsule, which is planning to transport people to and from the International Space Station in the near future, successfully completed an abort mission - although one of it's three parachutes failed to deploy. At the time, few photos or videos were taken of the capsule's short flight. New video footage has just emerged, and we've made some sweet GIFs so you can view it's journey in GIF form. If you want to know more about the Boeing Starliner capsule, read our comprehensive article about it. Otherwise, enjoy the GIFs!
