What was the most retarded way they did a myth?
>>218979232when they said the moonlanding was real despite none of their experiments or research proving the moon landing was even possible
I remember Adam getting really angry because the other team hooked up a car battery to some bronze bull and it gave him an electric shock. After that the other team never filmed together with the main crew. In another episode Adam sucked off a vacuum cleaner hose and it gave him a bloody lip.
>>218979232Raping blob
The concept of this show was great but I always found it irritating to watch. Too much filler and not enough technical information. And that corny ass narrator who talks like it's candid camera or some shit.>Let's check in on Bob... and it looks like SOMEONE is having... a little trouble!>Double devices? You know what that means... DOUBLE the headaches!
>>218980410Dude, I love those narrations, ultimate "just turn your brain off" mode, prime slop tv. Mythbusters is better watched as background noise, you just hear about stuff and then you check in on the moment something explodes.
>>218979232I hate when they declared something “mythbusted” when they obviously could do the thing eventually but the odds were astronomically low.
I actually can't name proper examples but many times i was furious at the screen that i'd check shit in a different way or that they didn't explore the topic enough.
>>218979232the "gas can't go through wooden doors" myth was pure propaganda
The zombie one. It was pinnacle of "we ran out of ideas and just do collabs now". They really counted lightly tapping someone's shoulder with a foam axe as "kill" etc.
>>218979232Plane on a treadmill
>>218979232is the world war 2 mythbusters episode considered lost media now? apparently it aired in south america at some point
>>218979232when Adam Rapevage busted the myth of him not being the raping blob by raping his sister again
>>218980539This right here is why I hated it. So many kids growing up would say shit like, "that's not possible, mythbusters proved it" and it was obvious that their methodology was just retarded. Same types that said shit like "trust the science" during covid, I guess.
>>218982073>>218980539They’d have built 3 airplanes in the 1900s and when they didn’t work have said that the myth of flying was busted
>>218979232The first polygraph machine one. I don't remember what Jamie and Adam were doing on their half of the show, but the entire build team segment was pointless pseudoscience like having Tory angrily think at a plant and register its "response" with the polygraph machine.The second one was also retarded because polygraphs are retarded, but it had a lot more going for it with the expert doing it like how it's supposed to be done.>Too much filler and not enough technical information.That varies a lot by series. The first couple of seasons are fillery as fuck, then it gets nicely technical for a couple seasons, then it's pure fluff until the last season where it's back to just Jamie and Adam and it gets technical again.
>>218980410>>218982381Forgot to quote the post, because of course I did
>>218979275fpbp. No way are Americans smart enough to achieve that.
>>218979275weak bait
>>218982912And yet you still replied.
>>218982929weaker bait
>>218982381That's not a retarded way of doing a myth. it's just a retarded myth. They did a bunch of segments on "kooky" bullshit.The early seasons have comfy filler, simply documenting these people going about the testing. The later seasons had filler of reexplaining every thing three times, doing "We're on TV xD" bullshit and doing "BACK TO THE SHOP to refine based on what we learned" editing that is obvious horseshit in that they preplanned everything shown and did all of the on location part in one day, not going there three separate times over two weeks.
WHALE TAIL ALERTWe have whale tail!WHALE TAIL ALERT
>>218979232I loved that show but there were many retarded myths most involving firearms or explosives. I remember one episode where they were testing a myth that a stick of dynamite thrown into the drum of a concrete truck could dislodge concrete that had hardened inside the truck. They tried it and it did not work then they decided to just blow the truck up by filling it with bags of anfo. It was not part of the myth and was retarded and pointless.
>>218979232The star wars light saber block was so extremely low effort and unscientific you could tell they dngaf about star wars
>>218979232when they accidentally proved "pyramid power" by using a knife that hadn't been cleaned correctly
>>218983963god i miss the 00s
>>218984771yeah the explosion shit got real cringey. the way they'd jump around and scream whenever somethen went "boom" was annoyingly fake. was the concete truck episode the one where they used WAY too much explosives and the truck disintegrated, sending sharp metal chunks flying all over hell's half acre? i remember them constantly referencing that explosion as their biggest "oh shit" moment
>>218979232the great replacement theory
>>218984771>upset by gratuitous explosionsIt was going over the top in demonstrating that an explosion sufficient to remove the cement destroys the truck. You also forget that they did more than simply see it not work. They went through three or four trucks and used escalating amounts of explosives. They found that it was possible to dislodge normal buildup and they had Tori try it manually with tools for a couple hours.
>>218979232Its a shame the show got cancelled after they busted the myth of the 6 million
>>218979232Did they ever do one on the 5 second rule?
>>218979232shooting a car gas tankthey could not get it to explode but when I try it explodes every time
>>218985287They did a bunch of germ stuff. Five second rule, fecal particulate from toilet getting on toothbrush, double dipping, etc.
>>218985287>>218985387They generally just counted colonies. I think it was only one test of "what has more bacteria than the toilet seat" where they actually sampled WHAT bacteria there was.
>>218985287Yeah they did. The tl;dw is that it doesn't really matter how long it's down, just where it landed. If it's somewhere dirty it's fucked no matter how quickly you pick it back up.
>jamie is using a hammer to hammer another hammer into place>someone writes a letter to the show and warns him that this can cause the hammers to explode
>Not liking the cheesey time capsule narrator >Not liking explosionsAutismos out
>>218985969>so yeah the myth didn't work, so we're going to strap 6lbs of C4 to this tree and see what happens>cue identical explosion to every other time they C4 something>WOAH THAT WAS AWESOME
>>218986127to this day it annoys me that they said "let's make like a tree and leave" and not "let's make like a tree and split"
>>218985568Like visibly dirty or what? Just my house floor vs outside vs McDonalds bathroom?
>>218986127They "replicate the result" of the myth which tends to be "Dude it EXPLODED!"
>>218986127It's fun.
>>218986261They soaked a bunch of tiles (uniform surface) in different things (e.g. gravy), planted sterile agar discs on them for various lengths of time, then counted the colonies after letting them incubate.
>>218980410Looks like SOMEBODY's gay!
The episode with Karis expanding boobs was very flawed in its methodology. It was hard to believe people would not remember her from day to day and notice her boobs expanding.
>>218979342Kek I remember that he was really pissed. Meanwhile that time they had to walk on burning cinders and got his feet fucked he took like a champ. Don't know if it was some comeback from the electric shock event or just that the rape blob is weak to electricity but ok with fire damage.
>>218986684they needed two different women working at the same time and measuring which one got the most
>>218986244But trees have leaves
>>218979342>>218986739He walked up and specifically asked if they had done what they had done and was told no. He was *shocked* but being upset was more about the trust violation. Also worth noting that both Tori and Scottie tried it first and thought it was too much to do to Adam but Kari decided they should do it anyway.
>>218987257yes, but they used the C4 to split the tree down the middle
>completely half-ass building the ball>it falls apart because of course it fucking will>MYTH BUSTED
AIDS from a toilet seat didnt include semen.
>>218987524They followed a plan from the Legoland guy. It was a bad plan. But also the video was very obviously CGI to anyone who has seen actual physics happening.
>>218979275gr8b8m8
>>218982073>>218981534>I refuse to accept scientific factsjust fuck off back to /pol/
>>218984771well it didnt work so they decided to just blow up the truck to at least fill the episode. many myths were similar to this
>>218980410>looks like SOMEONE should've PRAYED...>to the MANTIS
>>218980410>>218986584>>218988388Here's what the narration was actually like.
>>218988518They shoulda got the narrator from 1000 ways to die
>>218988078B8
>>218987787>But also the video was very obviously CGI to anyone who has seen actual physics happeningI'm pretty sure a good portion of those later series episodes are pitched behind the scenes as "We know it's fake as fuck, but we think it'll be fun to try to build anyway". Jamie, Adam, Tory and Grant are all special effects artists so it's not like they're genuinely taking janky viral videos at face value.
>>218980410There was a guy that would cut the filler out and upload the torrents the day after the episodes aired.
>>218985505thats how that works. bacteria dont just magically spawn. counting colonies is how you determine WHAT is there
>>218982493meds
>>218986127>autismcase in point
>>218989131They're talking about putting it under a microscope and checking what kind of bacteria each colony is instead of just lumping all kinds of bacteria together, you idiot.
>>218979232a LOT of the shit in the final seasons they ran out of myths and begged for people to send them ideas.They did one of a guy who stuck his leg into a washing machine and it hung him like wtf?
>>218988850I accept your concession
>>218983963can't believe the panty patrol let that air!
>>218989404yeah, you obviously have no idea how one would find out about what bacteria are living in a sample
>>218989404you can't really tell under a microscope what bacteria is what you gotta seqwuence them
>>218988857for sure.some of them are plain retarded with even an elementary knowledge of physics. you can see grant especially checked out during those myths>wow it didn't work who would have guessed
>>218989752I suspected that might be the case but I know you can tell to some degree under microscope.>>218989713Don't try to move the goalposts you massive faggot. Just admit that you misunderstood the post in a really retarded way.
>>218989780>grant especially checked outThere were a lot of instances of them doing dumb shit that should have been obvious to an engineering background, even just a student, that it's kinda baffling they didn't consult with him to catch.
>>218989895>>218989752you can tell basic info like gram positive or negative, and the three basic types but you are guessing at best.
>>218989457Bad B8. Here's your (you) tho
>>218984954I was thinking this one too
>>218989895holy fuck you are retarded. im not moving the goalposts.I am trying to explain to you, that you have a completely wrong understanding how this even works. just "looking through a microscope" wont tell you that much. letting them grow in petri dishes under certain conditions and sequencing them is how you find out what you are dealing with. thats common practice. you just have a childish idea of microbiology
>>218990235>>218989457
>>218979232These guys are the progenitors of the "i heckin love science" crowd. Talk big about science but show the viewer only base level rudiments of the subject they're testing.
>>218979232The "heat escapes through head" myth... not realizaing their thermal cameras "confirmed" it, because HEAD WAS UNCOVERED. Ofcourse it was the hottest part of their body.
>>218990453"See I tested it and din't look at the way I tested it thats science baby!!!!
>>218980410peak Discovery Channel narrator is the Curse of Oak Island>Lagina 1: Hey guys we just found a small pile of stones>Narrator: A small pile of stones? Could this mean [insane conspiracy rambling for the next ten minutes]and then the rest of the episode is a recap of the previous 7 episodescracks me up every time
>>218990453yeah no shit. thats pretty much how the show always presented itself. They never claimed anything different but "special effect people and craftsmen doing le awesome experiments". They tried to explain the basics and used certain methods, but of course it was an entertainment show. Thats like complaining that wrestling doesnt teach you how to fight. dont be autistic
>>218985287A few seconds doesn't really make a difference, it depends on where it lands and what type of food it is.
>>218990393From>They generally just counted colonies. I think it was only one test of "what has more bacteria than the toilet seat" where they actually sampled WHAT bacteria there was.you responded>thats how that works. bacteria dont just magically spawn. counting colonies is how you determine WHAT is thereAnd when you were told you misunderstood you just gave up on that entirely and attacked something else. Learn to cope with this because your dumb ass is gonna misread again.
>>218982073Name some you fat faggot. Their methodology was not retarded in the slightest, you're just impossible to convince. "UHMMM ACTUALLY YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE IT THIS WAY"Shut the fuck up
>>218979232The "how many loads can Carrie's ass take" episode wasn't very progressive. It could have used some more BBC and less small yt benis
I just remember watching this and they rarely ever took into account basic middle school stuff like friction or air density
>>218990518the myth is, that you lose MOST of your body heat through your head. which is bullshit even if your whole body is uncovered
>>218990931
>>218990931>"Ma'am, are you by any chance an expert in this particular field, that could help me?">"UGH, LITERALLY WOMEN HELL"
>>218990818are you fucking braindead? there is no inconsistency here. thats what i am trying to explain you. you are the one who is misunderstanding. observing colonies is exactly how you sample what bacteria there are
>>218990931god it's so fucking tiring
>>218990931Why did he laugh if he didnt detect any sarcasm? That doesnt make any sense. That was clearly just someone making random small talk. He could have talked about the weather but tried to be funny by making a joke about someone wearing coveralls on the beach. jesus. why is it always "evil patriarchy" with simple shit like this?
>>218987312>but Kari decided they should do it anywayNow I want to bust with her even more
>>218988633you mean ronnie yellowfingers?
>>218991265Cope.
>>218979232The Obama challenge was one of the most half-assed things they ever did. It hurts even more because since then a lot of people have tried and succeeded.
what are the ones thst blew your mind? for me, it was the interlaced phonebooks requiring bulldozers to pull apart
>>218990931>"Are you a mechanic, ma'am?">"SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S NO WAY I COULD BE A MECHANIC IF I WASN'T WEARING THESE COVERALLS!?"Literally remove women's civil rights.
>>218991878lmao. you straight up refuse to learn when you are wrong. stay retarded then and hide behind your buzzwords
>>218992183Cope.
>>218990860>Tiny sample sizes and poor statistics: Most tests ran only 3–5 trials, then they compared simple averages. Even tiny differences got declared "confirmed" or "busted" without proper statistical analysis or error margins. Fuel mileage ones did this a lot.>Wrong materials or unrealistic setups: In the frozen chicken vs. airplane windshield myth ("chicken gun"), they initially used non-airline-grade glass, leading to an incorrect "busted" verdict.>Artificial conditions instead of real-world variables: The "running vs. walking in the rain" myth originally used a machine-made rain setup that didn't accurately mimic natural rain. They later retested in actual rain and adjusted conclusions.>Mismatch between test conditions and the myth's claims: For the Star Trek "Gorn cannon" (diamond from coal + bamboo gunpowder), their materials and proportions didn't match what was realistically possible, leading critics and independent tests to argue the myth could work under better conditions.>Ignoring real variables like match type: In the bathroom matches lighting myth (gas explosion risk), they tested wooden matches instead of paper/book matches common in bathrooms, which skewed the results.>Oversimplifying physics explanations: Episodes had errors like claiming kinetic energy directly "transfers" in collisions (it doesn't always), overemphasizing energy vs. momentum, or misstating inertia.>inb4 Thats AI! How dare you!?Like its my fault you asked for some examples you could've looked up yourself like I need to rematch this bullshit on your whim. Next time, ask the AI yourself if you really need to be refuted. Save yourself some time.
anyone got a gif of tory absolutely eating shit on a bicycle? they were at an abandoned airport and he was riding around, I think he tried to hop over something, caught his front tire and just faceplanted.
>>218991099still would
>>218991992The one where firing a bullet into a frozen lake supposedly makes it spin in place. The video looked extremely fake but it ended up being real.
>>218992365Its really hard coping with the fact, that there are retards like you believing microbiology works like pic related
>>218992377Fuck off, chatgpt
>>218992854Cope.
>>218993128I accept your concession
>>218992917Called it. Look it up yourself next time, then, faggot.
>>218982929I HAVE to prove that *I* am smart enough to know that it's bait by replying to all of the shittiest bait around, thus showcasing my superior intellect.
>>218992386Over a red wagon, singing the theme of the wicked witch from Wizard of Oz as he approaches. They were on the Alameda runway doing the transmission pole vault.
>>218991265nevermind coping, you need to learn to read.
>>218986127The only good explosion was the one where they blew up a train station
>>218993232Cope.
>>218993240copypasting AI slop isnt "looking it up". you contibuted nothing and obviously never saw an university from the inside. Just saying "I dont trust the science and dont like the the methodology when it proves things I dislike" isnt an argument
>>218982912>>218987927Non of their experiments proved the moon landing was possible; that's an objective fact.Learn how to read English, you ESL retards.
>>218993397how ironic
>>218992377>hates "trust the science" people>takes AI diarrhea as fact
>>218993482gr8b8m8 ill r8 it 8/8
>>218982493You will never beat the "obsessed" allegations, foreign subhuman. Try going a single thread without crying about your superiors next time.
>>218993505Cope.
>>218993568ok schlomo
>>218993414Was that the one where they dropped the dummy from a plane to see if the explosion could break his fall? I only remember the dummy got disintegrated and they just said "Well the myth WOULD be busted, but there's trustworthy reports that it really happened, so yeah." Such a retarded ending to an awesome episode.
>>218993456I accept your little faggy crashout as a concession.
>>218993714there are just too many variables. I thought it was a fair conclusion
>>218993865>gets madok. still not an argument
>>218987407But C4 grows on trees.
>>218983963My face, her ass
adam unintentionally disproeving the myth of high jewish iq anytime he opened his mouth. It was an overarching and overdone, what a strange concept decision.
was there an episode where jamie rigged a car to change its license plate to trick a speed camera or did I make that up?
>>218979232anytime they had guests and "busted" things from their movies/show although it was extremely obvious to everybody involved that it wouldnt work like in that movie
>>218994019Yes. It was during the way over-produced era so they teased it at the start of the episode then showed it at the end as a gag after doing all of the beat the speed camera tests. Specifically after using a supercar to try to outspeed it at a dragstrip which I think was a revisit episode.
>>218993456>>218992917>>218993546>AI isn't valid because it's just hecking not! >You need to rewatch the show and spoonfeed me the answers if you want to pass my shit testOh yeah, these people are just retarded enough to have gone to college. My favorite is the one who says "you've never seen the inside of a university!" So fucking gay lmao
>>218985505They always sampled what bacteria there were iirc. Especially with the 5 second rule it was an important point, since some type of bacteria spread more easily than others
>>218994550ok clanker
>>218994550>hit a nerveso you dropped out of school or what?
>>218994926Actually just earned my associates with a 4.0!
I cant remember the specifics but I remember they tested the "myth" that coffee and cold showers sobers you up from drinking and they tested the myth in such a way the inevitable conclusion was that of course those would in no way improve your ability to function.I get you dont want to potentially encourage people to drive or do other stuff after drinking but just dont do the episode if you arent going to be honest.
>>218979275Well we lost the technology to do that so of course we cant test it properly.You know that whole ",greatest achievement in human history" thing, we just didnt bother to preserve or properly document that stuff.
>>218992141>NO I'M NOT A WHORE JUST BECAUSE I HAVE MY ASS CHEEKS HANGING OUT AND MY TITTIES ON DISPLAY>No I'm not a police officer just because I'm wearing a uniform that says POLICE and has a badge!
>>218995009Reminds me of when they tried to test if 20min sleep every 2h or so was better than a full nights rest.So they had a training area to test how fast they could complete it... but they had the exact same training test every time and didn't take into consideration that you learn how to do the test easier and better each time.
>>218995009Plus this was stolen from that Brainiac science show in the UK anyways
>>218987129That's at least as flawed. One of the two women is bound to be a better waitress than the other.
>>218984954What?
>>218990931>Women grossly misinterpreting/fabricating scenarios to be a victimShocker.
>>218983963I fucked Kari at the Radisson Hotel in Cincinnati back in 2006.
>>218995009>>218995222The "sobering up" episode they had a cognitive test specifically designed to resist being learned along with agility tests. They tried coffee, getting slapped, etc, and reported that some of it totally did work. I don't remember the polyphasic sleep testing.
>>218995810She always struck me as easy
>>218995841Okay cool it's been over ten years since I seen it but even at that post-drinking and attempting to sober up who is doing tests of things theyve never done before and cant adapt to from their prior experience?
>>218995841>>218996112I just checked it out to refresh my memory and it's a little more level headed than I remembered but it's still dumb.The measurement they use is tracing a graph which requires fine motor skills.It's fair to say the "myths" never claimed you would be 100% in that areas but your ability to function generally would be improved.Wouldve been better if they tested driving (though I get why they didnt) or other tasks a person would reasonably be doing after attempting to sober up instead of something they never would be doing.
>>218986127>20+ minutes of talking heads yapping about dumb shit every episode>only 30 seconds of footage from 2 parallel identical angles when blowing up somethingone of the many reasons youtube is absolutely mogging TV
>>218979275They addressed specific popular talking points on online forums at the time and debunked every one they could reasonably do. Obviously they weren't going to launch a rocket and land on the moon.
>>218996412Their drunk driving tests were always "X is as bad as being drunk!"
>>218993547You are such a fucking child lol. Enjoy your fantasies lil boy
>>218994013Is Adam Savage jewish? I always found him gross and off-putting, so that wouldn't surprise me. There are also the horrible allegations his sister has made, which I would find more convincing now.
>>218979232Commercials made this a chore. Same reason I didn't like House, desu.
>>218979275Why wouldn't the USSR come out and call bullshit if it was faked?Why would we go back 6 more times leading to more and more chances to be discovered?
>>218996649Moreover, what are the millions of people on the space industry doing everyday? Kicking up their feet and vibing? Everyone collectively agreed to not spill the beans lol
>>218995430Maybe that episode where they buy a "free energy" pyramid off the internet?
>>218980410That's just how American TV is. I was watching a Gordon Ramsey cooking show earlier and you could tell they literally had him record voice lines in post explaining what was happening on a fucking cooking show>two contestants standing there getting ready to cook a steak in an elimination challenge>*random out of place obvious dubbed over Gordon Ramsey voice* you are both cooking a steak in the elimination challengeIt sounded like he recorded it in his bedroom or something, fucking absurd. The average person is such a retard its almost incomprehensible

>>218996599Tory did better at the driving test.
>>219002916Good for you faggot. You probably dont drink at all and are still a virgin in your 30's.

I don't know about retarded, but my favorite ones were when Kari got knocked up.
>>218987129>>218995393It wouldn't matter if one were a slightly better waitress than the other, people wouldn't notice. What would matter is who's hotter. If one had a prettier face or better overall body than the other, that could offset the influence of the boobs on the tip. So ideally you should use twins.
>>218988518>As Tarantino might say, bring out the blimp.What the actual fuck did he mean by this?

>>218979232When those retards were playing with cannons and thought a mound of dirt behind the target would be enough to stop a cast iron cannonball and ended up firing one through a family home a quarter of a mile away with people inside. That second team were insufferable. I torrented all episodes and skipped through thier parts.
>>218984771It was also fucking awesome you autistic fuck.
>>218979232I always thought considering the time the show aired, the way they did the Water Torture bit with Kari felt like a touch too much for that TV slot.
>>219008755did they drip the water on her clitrious
>>218993988What's the difference?
>>218993988You wanna bust the human centipede myth together, pardna?))))
>>218979232I remember them completely fucking up even on the 'retests'. There was always something off with their ability to actually test stuff, granted they're VFX guys, not a rigorous scientific tester (over VARIOUS disciplines), probably why later seasons trended towards making stuff go boom or get shot.
>>218984771>Uh explosions are actually bad How lame can you possibly be?
The retest of breakstep bridge really irked me, the myth that a marching army could bring down a bridge by hitting its resonant frequency, they deemed it plausible after assembling a wooden bridge which they made weaker by removing planks of wood, claiming this was them "tuning" the bridge. The bridge held while stationary, broke when a marching force was applied. Myth plausible. No, you just made a bridge weaker by damaging its structural integritiy, that's not "tuning" the bridge to its resonant frequency at all, fucking retards
>>219010003I don't think their heart was in finding out the truth, moreso they wanted to do a show and keep up with the filming schedule. They also had a bad habit of ruling myths that clearly required more testing as "totally busted", presumably because they were fed up with that shit and never wanted to touch it again.
>>218996649maybe because the USA and USSR were both using fake space programs to force the other the waste military funds and they just wanted it to be over. or maybe because the USA would just say the russians are jealous and you fags would believe it. >>218996888they are building weapons of war to use against the enemies of the jews.
>>218996649this is the question no one ever answers. Had it been fake, USSR would have done all in its power to prove it fake. Also, if it was fake, China would be exposing it as well.
>>218984771You're complaining because mythbusters decided to add more explosives and blow up a truck for no reason??? Dude youre so fucking gay and lame it pisses me off and I refuse to read the rest of this thread because I realize im reading comments written by people like you. FUCK YOU
>>219011091He's right though. It seemed like they genuinely ran out of myths and were doing some absolutely retarded stuff. I also highly disagree with people that say the show is bad, because few other shows, even good fiction shows, can compete with their Alcatraz episode.
>>218984771I dislike this post
>>218994436that one sucked. they only tested legal options to beat the camera when by definition anything that works is illegal. there are certainly materials that will prevent the license plate from being photographed without obscuring direct observation. if they were going to test those they shouldnt have done the myth at all. this goes for every myth they refused to test due to legality
>>218979232Carlos Hathcock shooting the viet cong sniper through his scope. They used modern scopes, a modern rifle, and an armor piercing round and couldn't replicate it so they claimed it was busted. However had they used actual equipment both parties were using they would've replicated it perfectly. Hate both of these disingenuous fags and their fans
>>219011134When things were boring or didn't work they would typically add more and more explosives until they got a big boom and blew up their subject. It was fun. It was silly. It was mythbusters. The fact that you people ACTUALLY complain about this is a haunting sign of society's steep decline. Very disturbing.
>>219011203No, going over the top to conclude an episode is fine.Doing some absolute retarded """myth""" just for a bang is not.
>>219011183Bruh, they retested it and said it was plausible. I think there's some validity to the original test though by saying that it basically wouldn't happen today.
>>219011263They're hacks. Deal with it
>>218979275fpbp
>>218996649They are all in the bed with the evil one.
>>219011062in their minds there is a secret world government, so the "russians" are in on it
>>218979342Wasn't the shock significantly more violent than they expected? They thought it would just give him a light zap like those prank buzzers, not stop his heart momentarily.
>>218987312>He walked up and specifically asked if they had done what they had done and was told no.That's the real fuck-up, it's not funny anymore after he calls the prank and they just lie to him.
>>218979232My younger sister idolised Kari and three years ago she died in a car accident.
>>219013842Bahahaha
first thing that comes to mind is deciding blades are better than guns vs zombies because he started lightly tapping people on the head.not that i care about some reddit myth about le zombies but it was pretty dumb
Breakstep bridge was a pretty good example of them fundamentally misunderstanding the details of mechanics. Adam was really proud of fabricating a truss bridge but it was in no way a useful scale model for flexion resonance, even without their struggle to synchronize the marchers. Then in their retest they made a bridge out of lengthwise 2x4s which was better for a flexion failure test but still horrible scaling - especially with Adam bouncing on the thing, being repeatedly told by Jamie he was leaving the surface too much, jumping instead of marching. The closest they got was putting an oscillator on the SBNO Carquinez bridge and feeling the vibration on the far end.They should have gotten parts to build basically a giant erector set bridge and put the oscillator they got on it. Or a bunch of shims or whatever to make a giant matchstick bridge.
>>219011183>>219011263>>219011279Some people really get ass-blasted about misunderstanding what "Busted" means and willfully forget the commentary that goes with it. They have three categories and have to assign a ruling at the end. There are plenty of times when they fail to reproduce something but understand how it could be possible. Which way they rule it basically comes down to whether they consider the myth to be "this could have happened" vs "this is something that a person can do." The sniper scope myth was stated as being something that a very skilled sniper can pull off, not just something that is possible to happen. If I remember right, the first time the scope had too many lenses which stopped the bullet whereas the second time they couldn't get the bullet to not deflect and embed in the wall of the scope. Their research team didn't tell them about the difference between the older and modern scopes but really they flipped the ruling more because they arbitrarily flipped how they viewed the myth than because they got a better result.
>>218979232All the police ones because they werent allowed to show you how to commit a crime. So they lied about the speedcam shit
>>218984917Most of their themed/tie-in ones were blatantly phoned in
>>219011939It was a commercial electric fence generator that they had used before. They are engineered to be at the right level. And they tested it on themselves with the benefit of knowing what was coming.
>>218993963But steel is heavier than feathers
>>218990009I imagine it was one of those "yeah this is retarded but it makes better TV just go for it" things
>>219014905I'm not about to try to recall the specific instances but I really don't think there was any entertainment tradeoff.
>>219010543I mean, "this specific myth could happen under very specific circumstances not easily replicable" is essentially what plausible means
>>219014224Was this one of the later episodes? Zombie myths already seems like scratching through the bottom of the barrel. What's next, does destroying a lich's phylactery actually kill the lich?
>>219015115The test was what a person can do with a bunch of attackers, not how zombies work, you insufferable retard.
>>219015099The criticism there is that their experiment was poorly designed because they didn't understand the concept. They didn't fail to do something difficult. They failed entirely.
>>218986684>>218987129I'll bite, what episode was this?
>>219008959kek, underrated
What did she mean by this?
>>219016227She likes that BBC:BigBalloon Cock
>>218981614I think the plane on a treadmill one filtered a lot of the "wannabe" nerds.Heck, one coworker who has a background in aerospace engineering still got it wrong.
MB sucked balls. Jackass was the true experimental show.Can you stop a .38 slug with the cheapest vest you can find? MB would rig all kinds of sensors to measure impact at various points. Johnny Knoxville bought the cheapest vest he can find and fucking shot himself with a .38. Findings: plausible, but you will break a couple of ribs.
>>218981614>>219016850Explain why it was wrong.
"Can a Plane Takeoff On a Treadmill?" and nothing comes close>myth: can a plane take off while on a treadmill?>they talk about the myth, the concept of lift, bernoulli etc>they get a pilot, a sesna, and a runway>im thinking "okay this is going pretty well, time to see how they actually represent the treadmill>ITS A GIANT FUCKING SHEET OF BROWN TARMAC THAT THEY TIED TO A TRUCK TO PULL IT THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION>THEY TELL THE PILOT TO TAKEOFF AND THE TRUCK STARTS DRIVING>PLANE CLEARLY OBVIOUSLY OUTPACES THE SPEED OF THE "TREADMILL" INSTANTLY>THUS LIFT IS GENERATED>THUS THE PLANE TAKES OFF>YET THROUGH THE EDIT, THE NARRATION, THE "SURPRISED" LOOK OF THE PILOT, THE DEBRIEF AFTER, THEY ALL SAY "LOOKS LIKE WE WERE WRONG AND A PLANE CAN TAKE OFF ON A TREADMILL AFTER ALL! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT MR. SMARTY PANTS PILOT???>poor pilot guy who is being gaslit by two tv hosts: uhhhh yeah i guess it took off... i thought i wouldnt go anywhere but>adam: YEAH MAN YOU WERE TOTALLY WRONG BECAUSE LIKE YOU DIDNT SEE IT BUT WE TOTALLY MATCHED THE SPEED YET THE PLANE MAGICALLY GENERATED LIFT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE RETARDEDthe concept of the myth clearly implies that the speed of the treadmill matches the speed of the plane so it essentially stays in place. if its just moving forward in the world, divorced from that shitty piece of tarmac, its just going to generate lift and fucking take offhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YORCk1BN7QYgenuinely one of the dumbest things to ever air on TV
>decide to watch some early episode
>>219017138An aircraft could take off from a complete standstill if the engines were able to produce sufficient instantaneous thrust (think like a rocket). The treadmill is designed to simulate an aircraft that's essentially "stationary". The only reason that modern aircraft need runways is due to nature of engine acceleration. If you didn't have to worry about overloading passengers and instruments with high G forces, then you could launch aircraft from a tiny landing pad. Pic related is a JATO aircraft.
>>219017138Myth Keywords: Rolling Resistance, Aerodynamic LiftYour Keywords: Retarded, Jackass
>>219017276yeah but the interesting thing is that even a JATO would still need to "leave" the treadmill with its initial burst of forward movement when the jets activate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHOvoO-6nWQnotice even in that video, when the jets activate, it boosts forward in space on the runway. if you were to perfectly pull it back at the same speed it had the potential to go in that moment, it wouldnt lift off. there's just no getting around the Bernoulli principle
>>219017317gee that would probably mean something if their prototype, animatic, and description of the myth didnt involve what EVERYONE KNOWS THE MYTH IS GETTING AT. REMINAING CENTERED ON THE TREADMILL WHILE ITS IN USE, YOU KNOW, THE WAY EVERYONE USES A TREADMILL, AND NOT SIMPLY RUNNING IT AT A LOW SPEED AND TRAVERSING FROM THE BACK OF THE BELT TO THE FRONT WHILE ITS ON, RETARDhttps://youtu.be/01Q83yxdDaI?si=aT2j_nmowYYaaHs5&t=62LOOK AT THEIR PROTOYPE, IF I COULD FIND THE FULL EPISODE SHOWING THE LITTLE ANIMATIC DISPLAYING THE SAME THING, I WOULD. CLEARLY THE IDEA OF THE MYTH IS THAT THE PLANE IS SUPPOSED TO STAY CENTERED ON THE TREADMILL WHILE ITS ON, THE SPEED OF THE WHEELS PERFECTLY MATCHING THE SPEED OF THE TREADNOT MOVING FROM THE FURTHER POINT BACK ON THE TREADMILL TO THE FRONT, ITS ABOUT REMAINING RELATIVELY STATIONARY IN THE CENTER LIKE HOWEVERYONE AND EVERYTHING USES A TREADMILL is your genuine read of the myth that the plane is intended to just move from the further back point of the treadmill to the furthest front point of the treadmill? clearly not, you retard. that would just mean its outpacing the treadmill and NO SHIT it would take off.

>>219013776>okay guys, The Raping Blob just asked us about the prank, it's over, let's not shock him anymoresaid by no one ever
>>219017368It depends on where the center of thrust is in relation to the center of lift. Aircraft have a natural nose-down tendency for the sake of flight stability. But a properly configured JATO aircraft could leave the ground without any movement relevant to the ground.In actuality, theres very few irl planes that could accomplish a "treadmill takeoff", but a hypothetical aircraft with sufficient thrust to weight ratio could accomplish such a thing.
>>219017620is your idea of a treadmill's "rolling resistance" supposed to let you run off the treadmill?
>>219017855Rolling resistance isn't a property of the treadmill, retard. Put the keyword into your search engine.
There's two possibilities with the airplane on a treadmill myth. One is that you don't understand how planes work. The other is that entire concept of the myth is retarded and meaningless (because you don't understand how planes work).
I remember as a kid watching and being pissed off at how they tested the toast always lands buttered-side-down myth.They dropped the toast sideways. In real life, people have toast at table or counter height, and, CRUCIALLY, butter-side-up. It seems to me a very plausible and testable hypothesis that at an average table or counter height, an initially face-up piece of toast will tend to land face-down, just due to the number of flips it tends to have on the way down. But instead they tested it like idiots
I don't think I've ever heard someone claim the plane isn't allowed to move. It's just about the treadmill matching speed. People think the plane won't move on the treadmill. Then someone who does understand that the plane can still move, even if the treadmill is going way way faster than it, humors the idea and the conversation usually leads to someone mentioning a long treadmill. There is a reason that the Mythbusters compared it to a car on a treadmill to explain why people are being fucking dumbasses about it.
>>219018377Their very first test was exactly what you described, fucknuts. After seeing that the result was because of the way it flips off the table instead of having anything to do with the butter, they isolated that factor with a vertical drop.
>>219016227too bad she is a crazy leftist who posts cringe on social media
>>219017138>>PLANE CLEARLY OBVIOUSLY OUTPACES THE SPEED OF THE "TREADMILL" INSTANTLYThis is where you're not thinking correctly. It can't NOT outpace the treadmill. The wheels aren't generating the forward movement. You can't hold a plan backwards by spinning its wheels, short of spinning them so fast that you melt the axel.
>>218996649Great Grain Robbery, they weren't enemies at all anymore by that point, and they got a joint space program after losing their top guy recently.
>>219020645are you dumb
>>219020972no u
>>218979342there was also an episode where they were testing halitosis or something and iirc kari made them go up to adam sayin ghe has bad breaththen he got all mad about it
