After eleven years, some wonders never cease.

A video clip from a 2010 interview with a Belgian man—who for six decades effortlessly parked his car into a garage that is two inches wider than the car—found a second life on the internet.


At 87 years of age at the time, Eugene Breynaert demonstrated his sense of spatial awareness when parking his nearly 4.99 feet-wide car into his 5.08 feet-wide garage was sharp as ever.

With roughly a little over an inch to spare on both sides once parked, how did he exit the vehicle?

Easy. Breynaert literally had door-to-door access to his home's entryway from inside the carport, and he had a system by which he accomplished his smooth transition of getting out of his car and into his home.

You can watch the video of his 2010 appearance on the Dutch news show, Man bijt hond (Man bites dog), below.

In the clip, the retiree explained he put up sponges on the sides of the walls, just to be safe.

Yet, he pulled into the garage without making any contact with the cautionary padding.


Once he aligned the car door with the door to his house, he was able to step inside his living room.

To close the car door, he simply pushed the vehicle forward from inside the house to clear the door frame.


Sadly, Breynaert passed away in 2016 at 93 years of age.

His posthumous legacy continues as the resurfaced clip was shared on Twitter—where it received a million views in 24 hours.

Twitter remained in awe of his timeless technique and praised him for his resourcefulness.









People were amused by these scenarios.





Despite his national fame, Breynaert was not keen on his popularity following the 2010 interview.

He told HLN:

"I want it to end."

While the sentiment is understandable, could he blame us for being impressed by his mad parking skills?

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
