A Haitian tourist-police officer holds up half a bicycle: handlebars, a fork and one big white wheel, with nothing behind them. The other half, held by the man who owns it, is a complete unicycle, seat and pedals included. The two halves do not connect to each other.

A Holstein calves standing up, unassisted, while the rest of the barn lies around ignoring her completely. The calf arrives head-first, still sealed in the sac, and over the next minute slides free and drops into the straw. Posted by a vet, who called it a normal birth.

Pitchside at the World Cup in Boston, a Ghana supporter films himself on a selfie stick while an England player leans into the shot, grins, says something to him and throws a thumbs-up. The supporter never stops beaming.

A graduate crosses the commencement floor holding a Venezuelan flag stretched wide behind her like wings, cap on, gown open over a lilac dress. The lyrics burn across the screen: we came out of the street and the ghetto, and now we're flying.

A toddler sprints across a lawn to show his uncle his freshly painted nails. The uncle crouches and spreads his own hand: the same red polish, already done. Behind them the boy's mother claps a hand over her mouth.

Six seconds of a woman in a hotel robe running through her entire repertoire at the front camera: pout, smirk, chin tilt, full smile. The caption frames it as a check-in before she leaves for a villa. That is the whole video.

A black cat lies upside down on a bed with a black dog's muzzle resting just below it, and the two faces line up into one impossible animal: the cat's yellow eyes on top, the dog's toothy grin underneath.

Two friends stop in the middle of a theme-park midway, one still holding a melting yellow popsicle, and run a tight synchronized routine to a Brazilian funk track while families stream past behind them, completely unbothered.

A face filter piles 3D junk around a man's head one piece at a time: giant lips, a floating ear, a hand across his nose, an anatomical heart, an apple, an ice cube. He holds a straight face throughout, and the screen flashes You Win.

Titled Rock vs Paper. Two men in a gravel yard square up, one holding an actual rock, the other an actual sheet of paper. It ends with one of them pinned on the ground, the paper shoved across his face, still gamely throwing the paper hand.

A woman in flower-trimmed Minnie ears steps out into the Florida heat at a theme park and visibly curdles: smile gone, fanning her face, checking her watch. The caption reads, me turning evil the second I step into the heat.

A camera clipped to an orange tabby's collar, so his own chin bobs at the top of every frame. He tails a second cat through a Chinese apartment complex, past cobblestones and parked cars, until she settles in under a scooter and stares back.

A woman in a gold headdress holds her toddler as a line appears: criticized by Arabs for not wearing a veil. A girl in a hijab steps in beside her and a second line follows: criticized by Latinos for wearing one. Neither of them says a word.

A regional Mexican singer leans over his kitchen island and performs his own song straight down the lens, all eyebrows and hands and a wristwatch the size of a coaster, closing on a nose-to-camera shot of total anguish.

A guy in an unbuttoned striped shirt dances alone in a hotel room with absolute commitment. Then his girlfriend walks in, joins the routine, and it ends in a spin. The on-screen verdict: guys, I think he runs LA.

A Japan fan who, by his own account, accidentally bought a seat in the Brazil section in Houston. Japan lose 2-1, the Brazilians around him wrap him in their flag while he wails, and by the concourse he has swapped his blue shirt for a yellow one.

A stadium packed with Colombia shirts and vueltiao hats at the World Cup in Miami. The camera settles on a sheriff's deputy working the aisle in full tactical vest, entirely unsmiling, with a small Colombian flag painted on her cheek.

Inside a pet school in Shanghai, a row of small white dogs sit up at desks like pupils while a handler in a straw hat conducts them with a stick. Above the blackboard hangs the standard Chinese classroom banner: study hard, improve every day.

Three hours of air-dry clay: kneading, sculpting, a pink donut hand-painted with sprinkles. Then she squeezes it and it is still wet. The video ends on a crying hamster captioned it's dry, babe, and a crying pug captioned me editing this video.

In the stands at MetLife Stadium with a Brazil flag worn as a cape, a man runs a short dance routine straight into the front camera, the pitch still empty behind him. A friend in a Brazil shirt slides into frame for the last beat.
