Warming up in the freezer! Ingenious design! And an incredible chart.

• Nate from the Internet invents a new kind of ice cream. It's not necessarily a good or safe new kind of ice cream, and the higher-paced editing might be a little much for some viewers... but this is a wonderful example of the sort of odd-maker-home-science stuff that YouTube has made possible. It includes the wonderful phrase "warm up in the freezer".
   
• Ten years ago, engineerguy uploaded "the ingenious design of the aluminum beverage can". Thanks to reader Eddie for telling me that the sequel is finally out: "the masterful design of the two-liter plastic soda bottle". This is an information-dense, thoughtful, entirely enjoyable twelve minutes, with a lovely blooper at the end.
   
• Eurovision is passé: Melodifestivalen, the Swedish selection process for the Contest, is just better. Since 2011, the Melodifestivalen winner has gone on to win Eurovision three times, usually because the combination of juries and televote picked very competent, very polished, but also very standard "crowd-pleaser" pop music. (Yes, the same artist won twice.) And that's what everyone expected this year: but instead, Melodifestivalen was won against the odds by a Swedo-Finnish epadunk song about saunas sung by three men in suits (note: one glorious Finnish profanity). It hit the top of the charts in Scandinavia, and it has a key change.
   

• The unsure calculator is a lovely bit of coding: you can enter a calculation, but any of the numbers in it can be replaced with a range. The result is a histogram, helping to make decisions where the numbers are uncertain. Surprisingly intuitive.
   
• A Michigan bookstore needed to move 9,100 books to its new location. The solution: a human chain of 300 locals, who came out to help.
   
• Why is there a "small house" in IBM's Code page 437?
   

And finally: an incredible chart about vehicles and cheese.

All the best,
