Watching Cars Fly Off a Cliff Is Entertaining

From Road & Track

BeamNG Drive is a Steam car physics simulation video game developed in Germany. I'm not a computer guy, so I understand very little of that. But what I do understand is that watching these cars get into wild crashes with no live occupants is weirdly entertaining.

There are a number of YouTube channels dedicated to BeamNG Drive where they show crashes of varying seriousness or complexity. But my favorite might be ones called "Cliffs of Death." This is where the empty cars (or with a crash test dummy dressed like The Stig) drives off an impossibly high cliff and just flips down a hill.

It's a time waster. A dumb time waster. But it's also addictive. After two hours of watching cars fall down a cliff for no reason, you'll realize you're just wasting your life. But for a bit, it's fun.
