Stuck at home? Use this time to build ridiculous DIY projects, like a giant hamster wheel for your cat
Editor's log, stardate 202032.1. It has been two weeks since I've seen my fellow editors or even ventured outside my house. I’ve grown weary of watching videos of people fighting to the death over a roll of toilet paper, and I become increasingly restless with each passing day. To fend off the ever-present fear of boredom and insanity, I've chosen to occupy my time with a ridiculous DIY project. I've decided to construct a hamster wheel for my cat. This will give my cat some much-needed exercise and give me a chance to flex my DIY muscles. In a recent video, YouTubers EvanAndKatelyn demonstrate how to make a giant hamster wheel for your cat. There's only one problem. I don't have a cat.
