Why did it stop? There was mythbusters jr. too. It had only one season.

Ran out of myths, science can only take you so far

Myths require there to be a culture. Culture ended sometime in 2015.

Neither of them were doing science, they were just making up shit for the camera. The only person on set with a STEM degree was the Asian dude.

I wonder if this show would even be half as popular if the whore who always wore boots wasnt in it.
>>
>>220618954
Because the humourless walrus who unironically wears a beret is a total homo with an obvious case of unwarranted self-importance, and the plebbitized IRL basedjak was an annoying wanker, and they just couldn't get along even though they were making bank.

Makes me SMDH every time this kind of shit happens. Your band is making a gazillion dollars, but some faggot gets up his own arse and wants to go solo.

Also as people have pointed out, they wouldn't know a scientifically sound experiment if it exploded in their face. A lot of the shit they did to confirm or 'bust' myths was methodologically flawed and an absolute waste of fucking time, (and even a child could see why).

Monoculture did because more people have better access to entertainment.

>>220620102
They were fidgeting with gadgets as they went along, they bullshitted their way into show biz and found a niche. They were not scientist!

thirdy who wasted his family's money on a STEM degree

I love when leftists are too retarded to see their own appeals to authority

>>220620581
Not the degrees, the scientific method.

They could have done a horror movie special for Halloween, tried using Buster to recreate Final Destination 2's log truck scene
>>
They ran out of well known myths, and also the presenters personally hated each other.
>>
>myths that can be scientifically tested have been tested
>Myths that are based on social assumption and statistics can't be tested due to racism

So they ran out of things to test
>>
>>220618954
This show was relentlessly Aspergic
>>
They were already scraping the barrel by the end, and both of them were rich enough that they didn't need to do this shit anymore. The raping blob was also intolerable.
>>
>>220618954

Ran out of myths to test. Towards the end they were testing shit from fictional TV shows about shit like zombies and when it wasn't that they were just making stuff explode.
>>
>>220620102
They should do a series called Mythbustersbusters where a team of actual scientists and engineers finds all the flaws in the original show’s experiments.
>>
>>220620618
Oh I see. And that's why you mentioned the STEM as if someone can only follow the scientific method if they have a SCIENCE degree
>>

The fact is, the military/govt have already been busting myths for decades using real science, they just didn't tell the public about the results.

They obviously have done real valid tests on bullet/explosive proof materials and tested everything from lethal fighting techniques to psychic powers. It's why there's a big gap between IRL warfare and the Hollywood version, (which is where the public gets their base understanding and misconceptions about such things).

At best that's all that these fags were 'busting' and everybody is like mind=blown. It's like having that reaction when you walk into a real court of law and find out it's nothing like 'My Cousin Vinny'. Where the bigger problem for your lawyer is not advising you on actual law, but disabusing you of the /tv/ and film crap that's already between your ears that you're going to base your retarded decisions on.

Because Adam raped his sister when they were kids.

The trump administration literally outlawed weather research because its against the narrative that climate change isnt real.

We're capable of actually winning wars in the Hollywood versions

1. You have that backwards, since a lot of the 'muh research' and funding stems from the prior Gore-era 'oh fuck we're all gonna die' polar bear shit.

2. Anyone doing real science knows when they are doing real science, regardless of policy, or how it's spun politically.

3. Hard science is particularly easy, unlike 'line go up' panic narratives about chaotic systems, where there are multiple factors that can't be isolated and shit you just don't/can't know. Like Al Gore predicting 'MOAR muh hurricanes' because 'muh science'. Part of actual science is sifting out that crap too.

4. The average fag doesn't even understand how 'muh global warming' is actually even SUPPOSED to work, let alone actually knows what they're talking about when it comes to conclusions.

True! Now we are finding that the oxygen in rivers has been gradually decreasing since 1985.

He had to be cajoled into doing the show because he didn't think he could carry it. You are retard.

they should bust "adam savage raped his sister" myth

90% of the shit they tested weren't even myths

>>220618954
Exploring or deboonking myths and urban legends was big in the early to mid 00s internet era with stuff like Snopes, Cracked, etc. So it was big on TV as well with Mythbusters and Penn and Teller's Bullshit.
But this genre died when the internet became primarily a communication platform rather than a bunch of websites you passively read. Users could just post information about this stuff to other users instead of site admins curating the content for viewership. So making a whole show that could be summarized in a post became unfeasible.

That's why latter attempts like Adam Pozzes Everything relied heavily on attacking opposing political narratives instead of criticizing actual false information or misconceptions like P&T's BS. There wasn't room for this type of content any more.

Mythbusters had 14 seasons and the show evolved through some cast changes and the addition of the build team of Kari, Tori and Grant. Ratings started to drop and the build team wanted more money so the producers told them to get lost. The show continued with just adam and jamie and they did have some good episodes in the final season but in the end jamie was just tired of the format and wanted to move on.

They didn't want to examine the holocaust, and Adam was exposed for being a "rapeblob"
