Check out Poorly Dressed all day for more awesome and terrible costumes!

Welcome to the future of online video.

YouTube announced on Friday that the site now supports 360-degree videos, so a viewer has the ability to pan around the scene as the video plays and watch a moment from different perspectives. On mobile devices you just have to move the phone itself around.

StressLevelZero created the above video as an example of how this new technology works. Note: you’ll need to be in the Chrome browser or on an Android phone.

The short film is about a flying, time traveling red couch, and you can click and drag inside the video to see what’s going on around you.

Of course to produce these videos you will need to buy a special camera. Right now Bublcam, Giroptic’s 360cam, IC Real Tech’s Allie, Kodak’s SP360 and RICOH THETA are all compatible with YouTube. And uploading the content requires a special process.

YouTube also offered some suggestions for what you can do with the technology.

You could let viewers see the stage and the crowd of your concert, the sky and the ground as you wingsuit glide, or you could even have a choose-your-own-adventure video where people see a different story depending on where they look. Only you know what’s possible.

Damn their already flawless toddler skin!

Is your baby running amok? Are you tired of the back talking of your out-of-control toddler? 

How to Dad is here to make it all better. 

In this short video, "How to Dad" host Jordan Watson and his daughter run through the basics of childhood discipline and the various techniques any dad use. Watch and learn how to make sure your kid learns a thing or two about respect. 

This pales in comparison to how many stern looks every cat gives their owner, but still, it's something.

A few days ago Gus Johnson, crazy person, uploaded this picture of himself to the me irl subreddit:

People called him crazy — including me, earlier. People called him "a bamboozler." Gus was going to prove the latter wrong.

Gus ended up getting 11,453 up votes and must give his cat, Wendy, 11,453 stern looks, and all that before he gets his wisdom teeth taken out later that day. Sounds like a solid 24 hours.

Feel free to jump around a bit, especially when he loses the cat around 10,850. Considering how red his face gets, it looks like Gus should’ve stretched before starting this thing.

“Stay unbamboozled.”
