The biggest crime in the video game cars is the cop. You could drive a McLaren F1, Koenigsegg Agera, or Bugatti Chiron and Still some cop in the SUV will still chase you and employ a rolling roadblock manoeuvre effortlessly

[@filmandfirearms]

What's the issue here? Cops doing their job? Roadblocks are a real tactic, and if they can't run you down because you've got triple their horsepower, a series of roadblocks is the best way to stop you. Police have radios, they can call in backup to set up roadblocks. Unless, by "rolling roadblock manoeuvre" you mean the PIT maneuver, which is when they tap the rear bumper from the side, causing you to spin out. That only works if they can catch up to you in a straight line

[@stathisbikos6563]

You actually CAN pitch a car up or down while in mid air by accelerating in high gear or braking the rotating wheels. The reason this works is you add or remove rotational momentum to and from the wheels and due to conservation of momentum the car body will gain or lose angular momentum in the opposite direction. That however works better the heavier the wheels are in relation to the rest of the vehicle and in 4WD cars rather than 2WD. It is however true that THE AMMOUNT of control you have over a car with wheels that light (as in games) is entirely unrealistic, but in for example, RC cars, where the wheels are very heavy (relative to the overall mass of the car) this is not just possible but regularly used to control the car in the air through jumps. There you can also control roll by applying steering angle during acceleration and braking.

[@David-ud9ju]

The rest of the car is so much heavier than the wheels that I can't imagine that would have much of a noticeable effect.

[@alexanderwolf1984]

Actually no, as weapon grade uranium and plutonium would not have been used for transportation, as it would be unsuitable. What makes nuclear reactors tick is that they have a slow burn. Even if you were to extract the cooling rods and let the reaction go out of control it still wouldn't create a nuclear bomb it would simply super heat itself until it would melt through the floor of the reactor and bury itself into the earth which creates a whole series of problems none of which is nuclear blast. Any explosion at a nuclear plant is actually the water cooling system. But lets say they did put weapon grade uranium or plutonium into the vehicle, it still would not go boom as it would need 1 of 2 things to happen for this, 1 is the bullet method where a uranium bullet is fired through a tube filled with heavy water into a receptive piece of like material, the same way Little Boy worked. The secont method is creating an implosion by detonating explosives in sync around the material causing the material to collapse and go nuclear if even 1 of the explosions is off it won't go critical mass, this was the method used in Fat Man. The cars instead would become dirty bombs spewing out radiation in every direction. Still bad but not as epic as a explosion I guess.

[@myar4931]

5:40 "They can sail through lamp posts but are seemingly allergic to trees" -- actually, irl things like lamp posts are made to fail in a specific way to reduce injury to drivers. Although I wouldn't recommend trying it, most things like street signs will crumple and fall if hit by a car instead of being totally immovable. Concrete barriers are not built this way, they are meant to keep your out of control car from injuring other people (like construction workers, opposite direction-travelling traffic, or government officials), so if you do stupidly decide to test natural selection, don't try running into one of them. If you go check out a stop sign in your neighborhood, you'll see that the bottom isn't just jammed into the concrete, there's a little rectangular thing that is, and then a second little rectangular thing that attaches the stick the sign is on to the one in the ground. It's only about like 6 inches or so, and it's right towards the bottom, so you probably never even noticed it. That is the part that is designed to fail if hit with enough force. Source: I went on a lot of tours of the American Federal Highway Administration's headquarters because of my mom's desire to "connect" with her dead father, who was a former top dog there. Also learned some interesting stuff about lighting...they actually do have a light that, if they were to put it in street lights, would still let you see the stars at night with a simple telescope even in a big city, but they don't use it because it makes road signs harder to read. Also they have a big machine that just simulates having a bunch of trucks driving all day, every day, in weird weather to test different asphalt compounds and figure out how good they are for different environments. And they paid $1 million USD for the first car with a built-in GPS unit, which is kinda crazy to think about considering your phone has it for free and you don't stop to think about that.

[@JaelinBezel]

Did you know that, on my way to work everyday, I see this parking lot entrance with two concrete blocks/barriers sitting right in the middle.

To be fair you can somewhat change the direction of a car mid air. Well not really the direction, but the side and forward tilt. When you steer midair in one direction or another the car will tilt to the left or right a bit because of the spinning wheels acting like a gyroscope. When accelerating mid air the front stays up and when braking it will dip down. This is actually made use of in the Stadium Super Truck series

Watt calculated how much work one of the work horses that were used in one mine (I think they used ponies because they fit better into the narrow mining shafts, and could turn around more easily) could produce OVER TIME. The average power one horse (or pony) could output over a whole working day. 3. Why do people use 'horse power' anyway?

I think Saints Row didn't make it to the list because it's a series that gives absolutely zero fucks about anything

[@Rincevind007]

TheMadisonMachine Saints Row is game that laughs at physics, chemistry and any other science. Dude in 4th game you became president of USA by falling through the roof of white house and you can stop world hunger by giving everyone some cake.

[@thanosbutwithanafro6137]

That was one of the best games I've ever played :)

[@TheMadisonMachine]

Rincevind007 Yeah, but almost all of Saints Row IV takes place in a simulation, so getting hit by a car and flying all the way downtown makes sense.

[@Rincevind007]

TheMadisonMachine that's true, but white house thing is not. Beside my point was that Saints Row is making of everyone else. That was reason for exploding carriages. In those games everything can explode :)

Fun fact: shooting a gas tank will not create an explosion.

WillCo Gaming I’m not kidding I deadass thought that was really

[@anna-flora999]

@@KoolaidHippie it *could* work if you use incendiary ammunition, but that would probably only set it on fire, if anything. To make gas or fuel explode, you need the right amount of explosive and oxygen. That's why old cars and cheaper motors (like in scooters or lawn mowers) often have a "joke" button or lever, since the mixture must have more fuel (known as being a fatter mix where I'm from) to ignite under colder conditions, which gave it the nickname "coldstart" (even in summer, a not running motor is cold compared to when it's running)

The swingsets from GTAIV?

[@jboot111]

Rejected Productions That's not the cars that are wrong... When you run into the swingset, it gets pushed into the ground (as it is unable to be damaged) and springs back up really fast. That spring is what flings your car through the air.

[@rickparry255]

+DGKacey So that all is fine then. The car acted exactly how it would in real life.

[@jboot111]

MoonUnit IV If swingsets behaved like that in real life, yeah. I'm not saying the cars in GTAIV are totally correct, but the swingset glitch is not caused by the cars being buggy

[@rickparry255]

+DGKacey You are correct. It was just the way you phrased it made it sound like that there is some actual logic in such situations relating to a particular aspect of said game. Where in truth it's just that someone made a mistake that caused a general logic breaker. (That was a lot of mumbo jumbo. I was also just being cynical, and I apologize.)

[@armageddon_gaming]

Another couple things ive seen in need for speed. I could head on collision a car and i will flip and roll. In real life, i wouldnt. Second thing, also from need for speed, i could tee bone a semi truck and the trailer will tip over on its side. Real life, my car would be massacred and the trailer would be dented but not fallen over

[@Yawyna124]

How big is your car? If you hit a semi trailer with a larger pickup, trailer would get fucking wrecked.

[@SilverMe2004]

theoretically the speeds in need for speed should be high enough to do that. But most of the cars that could get those speeds would go under the trailer and lose their tops and your head

[@Hellwyck]

"I could collide head on with a car" "head on collision" isn't a verb.

[@achilleslade3771]

Hellwyck You're partially right. The error is in the phrasing. "I could collide with a car head-on" is a grammatically correct sentence. Also collision is not a verb as per OP's comment.

to be fair to GTAV real life lamp posts are fitted with breakaway bolts to make them softer to collide with, hence they really do break more easily than trees.

[@Trex-tk2kz]

*sees Mike* “oh I bet it’s about cars”

[@San_D._Beard]

The bit about cars running over lamp posts and stopping dead at a tree is sort of accurate. The lamp post shouldn't fall like it's made of Legos, but a car can topple one pretty easily. However trees are so firmly rooted into the ground that when you hit one it's not going anywhere, but your car might split in two. That's why if your breaks are out and your options are to hit a person or a tree, the best chance for both of you two live is hitting the person.

[@davidstevenson6551]

+Murasakibara-sama i can verify this tree does infact beat car

[@joshmurphy298]

Brakes*

[@michealdrake3421]

My uncle told me a story once. He had this old pickup truck that didn't have working breaks. He would downshift to slow down and run into shit to stop. He had picked a girl up for a date and they were going down a hill when the light ahead turned red. He downshifted, but they weren't slowing down enough. He told her to buckle her seatbelt, then steered off the road into a tree. Then this exchange happened. "Why did you do that?" "My brakes don't work." "What do you mean your brakes don't work?" "They don't stop the truck." "Why would you pick me up in a truck that doesn't have brakes?" "I wanted to impress you. I wanted you think I had a decent car." "What are you going to do if we have to go down another hill?" "We're not going down any more hills. We're taking the long way." Then he backed the truck up onto the road and kept driving. The body was made of steel, so neither the truck nor the tree took any real damage.

[@jaderabbit898]

I think what he means that when a car bumps into a tree, the tree just stands still like it's made out of titanium or something. At least make then wiggle abit.
