Being of the first cities in the world to usher in the New Year, the city of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia, never fail to celebrate this occasion with some visually spectacular pyrotechnics.

Holy Cow… This Cow Stands Over 6’ Tall And Weighs As Much As A Car!
Most cows that are bred for their meat are destined for the abattoir. Hardly will they ever escape the slaughterhouse, but there are exceptions, like this unusually large Holstein Friesian, a breed of dairy cattle. This cow dude here has grown, like a lot, to reach a mind-blowing proportion of 194 centimeters tall (6 feet 4 inches) and tipping the scales at a grand 1.4 tonnes (1,400 kilograms, or about 3,086 lbs). The height is well over an average person’s height and the weight there… well, let’s just say that you don’t want to be standing next to it when it is feeling dizzy.

As of today, AI anchors is a thing and China’s state-run news agency Xinhua is the first in the world to ‘employ’ not one, but two AI anchors. The anchors, officially known as “AI Synthetic Anchors,” are modeled after the agency’s human anchors, but with voices, facial expressions and lip movements animated and synthesized using deep learning techniques.

Mind Blown: Impossibly Geometric Icebergs Spotted In Antarctica
Our impression of icebergs are, they are of irregular shape, or so we thought. It turns out that nature is quite an architect herself with the ability to create impossibly geometric icebergs too, such as the one you see here. That’s right. That flat piece of white object with almost perfectly straight edges is an iceberg. It is so flat and perfectly rectangular that it looks like it has some kind human intervention, but in reality, that was the nature’s work.
