Warning: You Will Not Be Able to Forget This 90-Second Video

One-second-a-day videos have practically become their own art form in the past couple of years -- whether the videos in question are chronicling the lives of a grown man or a newborn infant. There's even an app for that, of course. But no one-second-a-day video you've ever seen, or are likely to see, will have the impact of this ad for the charity group Save the Children UK.

How does Mashable know what's going viral?
Mashable built a system called Velocity, which scours the social web, collecting lots and lots of data around how people are engaging with published articles. It then pulls all of that data back to Mashable, dumps it into our own predictive engine, and predicts which articles are about to go viral.
