Finally, a use for all those free AOL hours you’ve been saving up for decades.
The Slow Mo Guys take everyday things and film them using high-speed cameras for magnificent slow-motion videos.
In a new episode featuring their slowest footage yet, Gavin Free and Daniel Gruchy take a few CDs to see if they can make them shatter using nothing but a vacuum cleaner motor and some good old-fashioned rotational speed.

At 2,500 frames per second (FPS), there's not much to see.
OK, so warp speed isn't technically real, but the CD is warping.

At 28,500 FPS, you start to see some of that sweet bending action.
That's only about 1,100 times slower than regular speed.

How about even faster — say, about 170,000 FPS?
It would only take seven-and-a-half hours to watch those four seconds and 96 gigs of footage.
