But hearing Adam talk about the curvature of Earth brought an actual tear to my eyes. Absolutely breath-taking. The U2 is also a more practical method of transportation if you want to fly over Ukraine.

The plane on the treadmill & the dropped vs fired bullet experiments are legit awesome bits of video that I imagine will survive in science classes for a long time. I still love them obliterating that cement truck too Also what that goon said about the water heaters. It was like those water rockets I played with as a kid x100.

I can't remember where I heard this, but one of the reasons people don't really know what Jaime does for a job is that a lot of it is building and testing government and military projects in addition to working with DARPA. Top secret stuff, so nobody talked about it. Kinda interesting. Which makes the final show all the more interesting: "Can a Russian tank be melted into slag by a laser from 500 yards? Railguns are depicted in video games as being able to shoot though almost anything. Tonight we find out what they mean by 'anything'. That and more tonight on Mythbusters!"

it costs money to do actual research, or like to have a guy sit behind a bush in some remote wildlife refuge for a month to get 2 minutes of the rare spotted dookiebird it costs less money to follow a bunch of hicks around and film them arguing with each other, then tack on all of those teaser and catch-up segments

Reality TV show is easier to film, requires lower budget and people are addicted to that poo poo too so it's ratings gold.

When a station starts out it's easier to get into a specific niche that isn't filled, but once it has an audience it is more profitable to run the same generic bullshit as every other cable channel. It's strange that it works but it's been happening for over three decades now, so it's a proven formula. I think part of it is that a cable time slot is a limited resource and anything, even if it is profitable, can only survive if it is more profitable than brain dead generic bullshit. I had hopes that services like YouTube would break this pattern by eliminating the whole concept of time slots, but it turned out that it works the exact same way except the brain dead generic bullshit is idiots playing video games.

Kid CUDA posted:what i love about mythbusters is how they remind you of what has happenned, what is happening, and what is going to happen, every 5 minutes, for 2 minutes. This right loving here. I've always hated that about this show and you just crystallized it for me. Even before they ran out of myths the stretching of blah until you get to the money shot was tiresome.

It's strange that it works but it's been happening for over three decades now, so it's a proven formula. It's mostly because a lot of channels are overspecialized so you quickly run out of material to do. Like, take the History Channel. In theory there's enough material to last eons. In practice what people really care about is stuff that happened to White People in the past 100 years or so (exceptions being the Civil War and other  focused stuff). Once you get all that out of the way then it turns out people are more interested in Ancient Aliens than the post-colonial struggles of Latin American nations or w/e.

Then they tattooed a piece of pork skin with this ridiculous ink that was basically as many iron filings as they could mix into a liquid and still have it flow. After they sent that through and nothing happened, she went through and was still a little nervous but I don't remember any crying or freaking out
