It probably comes as no surprise this super-sized Razor scooter is a nightmare to turn.

It took automotive engineer Matt Brown seven years to finally finish building this super-sized Razor scooter featuring an 8-foot long deck and a pair of beefy tires powered by electric motors inside each one. The scooter is completely rideable thanks to an extra set of handlebars at human height, but turning it around is a long process.

Lego’s 5,363-piece Godzilla stands over 27-inches tall.

As part of the annual Godzilla Day celebrations, Lego has announced a towering brick-built Godzilla model featuring an adjustable tail, a posable head, arms, and fingers, and an attachable tongue that can be swapped for a heat ray blast.

Google Home will stop telling you it’s sorry when you haven’t spoken to it.

The latest Google Home update fixes an issue where Gemini “could occasionally say ‘Sorry, I didn’t understand’ unprompted when no one had spoken to the device.” It also improves Gemini’s ability to distinguish between sleep alarms and regular timers, as well as understand requests to transfer music to a device in another room.

Butterball’s first handheld is no fun at all.

It may look like a frozen turkey-shaped Game Boy, but the Butterball Buddy is played more like a game of hot potato. You pass it around and when it stops making noise the person holding it is randomly assigned a Thanksgiving Day task like helping the chef or washing dishes. You can win one through Butterball’s website, and the rest of the year it functions as a kitchen timer.
