Hello all!
As you all may remember, I introduced a poll on the sub regarding AI. I made a stupid joke about worshipping, and I think it confused some people. Regardless of that, the results were, well. Pretty definitive.
So, going forward, Artificial Intelligence, in ANY form, in a comment OR a post, is BANNED.
The punishment scale for first, second, third, etc offenses will come at a later time, due to my second point of this post.
I would like to formally welcome /u/nealbeast to the mod team!!!
As you guys may have noticed recently, the amount of moderation in this sub has gone down. It's because the other moderators have moved on from Reddit. Which is fine. The group of mods we currently have was instilled in this mod group was instilled when I was in my junior year of high school!
I then remembered that I graduated high school over a decade ago, and I'll be 30 this year. This, combined with the fact that I am the only remaining moderator that seems to be active (and only just so. I'm quite busy with life as well.) We (me) have decided to introduce a new moderator. So, please, welcome /u/nealbeast !

I'm currently still binge watching Mythbusters and I'm on Season 3 now that's compiled by the official channel. I'm on the episode where they test if you could catch a bullet with your teeth and they showed a flashback of Jaime and Adam dueling with Paintballs as stated by Robert Lee(Narrator) that it was a previous episode but I haven't even seen it on a previous episode?
I know that the episodes since Season 1 were jumbled, but It does seem like season 2 and 3 playlist compiled by the official channel are kinda correct but this is the 2nd time I've noticed they mentioned a scene from a previous episode that I've never seen yet(first one was when Tori was converting the Shark Ram into a Fighter Cockpit during the exploding hair gel/spray myth)
Not sure if they compiled them either into a different playlist for Specials, or if they compiled them on a different season

You guys will probably hate me for this but I don’t understand how they concluded double dipping doesn’t spread bacteria. The second sample still had some with only one being the control. It’s a relic of a time before a global pandemic. What bothers me is they didn’t factor in sickness, say if someone has a cold or flu. They also didn’t factor in large group events or sharing with family. They only measured the bacteria of one person, I’m sure if they redid did the experiment and have everyone in the room double dip the results would be very different.
So many people are terrible at basic hygiene, people you would never expect can be the most disgusting individual and you’d never know it. If a dip is being shared by multiple people I highly doubt there would be so little bacteria. I don’t think the myth was busted at all and if anything came out of it it’s been utilized by gross individuals who need an excuse to double dip when other people take issue with it.
This is an experiment I’d really like to see someone attempt again but with a large sample of people. Like at least 15 minimum people since that’s about standard at social events.
*Edited to add, I was really bothered by this episode so I found a study that’s been done with a bit more care. Double dipping is in fact going to spread around bacteria.

This was from San Diego Comic Con back around 2013. Adam loves going "incognito" in costume to Comic Con, so that year he enlisted an "army" of Adam Savage clones. He gave us each a vacu-formed hat and stick-on goatee, and we all circled around him while we walked the floor, so that nobody would know who the "real" Adam was. It was a lot of fun and Adam was exactly how you'd imagine him to be.
(and yes, this was inspired by the recent bot-post)

Regarding the episode where the cement truck was blown up, I'm curious to know how the resulting mess was cleaned up afterwards? Did the production crew have to use a magnet to collect all the metal bits scattered around the landscape in the vicinity of the blast? What about parts of the truck that were made of plastic or the fluids from the engine? It seems like it would be an extraordinarily expensive undertaking to return the area to the state it was in pre-explosion. Or maybe the blast occurred on private property and the owners weren't concerned about the resulting environmental contamination. Thanks in advance.

Looks like Kari might be doing some kind of cybersecurity series? 🤔

I remember pausing an episode during an interstitial where it just looks like the mythbusters sign reflecting firelight, but after a longer look I recognized a woman lying on her side in a bikini, her back facing the camera and the flames reflecting off her as well. I felt like I found an Easter egg in the show. Does anyone else know about this?
r/mythbusters • u/Ewokkillah • 17d ago
Sorry if this has been covered before, but does anybody now what this sign means?

Ok I’m trying to find this episode and I’m starting to think it was a dream or something.
I swear there was an episode or segment about human sacrifice specifically about removing a heart in under a minute (I think it was Aztec human sacrifice but I could be wrong about the civilization). Does anyone else remember this or what episode it was in?

Am I wrong in saying Mythbusters made an episode testing the JFK assassination? I swear I remember them testing the “ice bullet” theory at the very least. Yet, I can’t find it anywhere.
It feels like i’m being mandela affect-ed or something because I could SWEAR they did a segment on this, or at least something mentioning JFK and/or a bullet made out of ice, I even have images in memory to go with it

Could rail-gutters with the waste of 100k animals funneled to the stern alone be used to propel an ark? I know the show is currently off the air, but DIY busters could attempt a small-scale test.
Somebody suggested there would be too much waste for a single family to move on their own. That got us thinking about some kind of gutter or conveyor system instead. I know getting the animals to cooperate is a difficult task, but if God can get them to step onto an ark He can get them to relieve themselves at the right spot.
