Debunking Seasickness! | MythBusters | Season 4 Episode 4 | Full Episode

[@TheAweDude1]

I actually like how they aren't uploading them in order, but kind of randomly. It recreates the feeling of catching random re-runs on TV, but with the ability to pause if I need to take a shit.

[@honor9lite1337]

Yes

[@Foxtrott_4]

You pause when you take a shit. I make sure I can watch on the shitter. We are not the same

[@darkninjacorporation]

I love how the intro stopped making a distinction between Adam and Jamie and the build team. It used to imply Adam and Jamie were the “Mythbusters” and Tory, Grant and Kary were just helpers or something. Now they’re all “The Mythbusters” and I love it.

[@chypearce8457]

Rest in peace Grant

[@leoa4c]

In typical style, Jamie actually managed to piss off the person operating the vomit machine instead of vomiting himself.

[@WalkerRileyMC]

He's a licensed diver and I'm pretty sure he knows how to sail so I'm really not sure why thought he'd be a candidate whatsoever. I get that not all seafarers are immune to seasickness but he's proven time and again he is.

[@alleythetoaster8401]

@@WalkerRileyMC Because it's just part of collecting data. you want even redundant data. That helps. Plus it's both funny for the show, and probably the way they worked it out behind the scenes too. I just assume.

[@leoa4c]

Adam did say in an earlier episode that he did not get seasick. I don't remember which experiment it was, but he definetly said the words "I'm the worst person for this experiment. I don't get carsick. I don't get seasick". Oh yes, he does. Jamie is inherently less prone to seasickness, and like @WalkerRileyMC mentioned, he has a lot more experience.at sea.

[@leoa4c]

@@alleythetoaster8401 Yes. I assume that they did it because it would be interesting for us to see how someone on the other end of the seasickness spectrum behaves.

[@Cjherand]

@@WalkerRileyMC you missed the main reason why Jaime doesn't get Seasickness... He's a Walrus!

[@pseudoswim]

My parents let me watch mythbusters when I was very little. Maybe 4-7. I can honestly say that is probably a big reason i’m now studying engineering in college. Thank you guys.

[@sharkbite951]

Glad I'm not the only one in that camp lol. I wonder how many thousands of people they influenced to make cool things.

[@kingofmeh1528]

Same story, ended up getting a masters degree in mechanical and aerospace and now I work as an engineer!

36:00 - I've been First Officer on a School Ship for kids for years, and I order them to drink a cup of strong sweetened ginger granulate each before sailing and one during the day. No seasickness has occured onboard. And there have been some quite definitive Papers published that Ginger is in fact MORE effective in preventing seasickness than any OTC remedies, and without side effects such as drowsiness. Drowsiness aboard a sail ship is a bad combo. Rig and tackle carry tremendous loads, and stumbling about without full situational awareness onboard is not recommended. Ginger works like a dream!

[@christophermitchellsr9492]

the sea sick chair had to be one of the most evil thing's made by kari . i have no doubt that Adam an the late great Grant hated the very sight of that thing for years an i cant say i blame them . these 2 myths are another set of classic myths that made the show so fun to watch . . thanks for posting the full episodes i look forward to the spicals like the dukes of hazard an shark myths along with the episode's dealing with urban legends

[@daycmetrollingdeihatin5100]

Id go so far as to say the chair had a not insignificant contribution to his early exit stage left.

[@TitaniusAnglesmith]

​@@daycmetrollingdeihatin5100 How?

[@7thsealord888]

I've suffered ONE major bout of seasickness in my life (never again), and a lengthy record of motion queasiness. So, I deeply respect Adam and Grant for voluntarily undergoing this torture. I do feel that there might be a psychological component as well. This could explain Jamie's lack of response. On the other side of the coin, my father LOVED ocean fishing, and one of his buddies would always get seasick. One time, he got seriously seasick before the boat had even left the wharf.

The banana peel on the gun was vastly more common on blackpowder guns. And it has to do with the way the barrel is constructed, the European method of constructing a barrel involves using a central hardened steel core and the new metal is wrapped around and then hammered into shape, usually this hammering makes the sides flat so you end up with a hexagonal shape, only strong enough for blackpowder, however if the end is blocked and you fire it, indeed here is a HUGE chance of banana peel simply because that hexagonal shape is a weakness in itself since it introduces weakpoints in the seams. Ironically, Chinese and Japanese barrel making methods do not suffer these methods, since their superior metallurgy involves just casting the entire barrel and then drilling it out.

[@NorwayT]

43:22 - A buddy of mine went grouse hunting, and walking through a forest, snow fell from the trees and blocked his barrel. He came upon some grouse, swung the gun around, fired and got a big, what we call 'Barrel Apple' at the tip of the barrel. I told him that he ought to change the barrel, but he continued using the shotgun for years after with the 'Apple' and no ill effects. Modern Barrels are made of some solid materials, BUT I would not recommend to continue shooting if you have gotten a 'Barrel Apple'!

[@fireandcopper]

26:39 years later with headphones, I'm positive tori said "shit" Edit: by the looks of it, Adam said it, he briefly covered his mouth after, indicative of recognition that what was uttered was obscene. I'll never recover from this, I've seen what a shotgun blast does to a ballistics gel dummy but hearing the word "Shit" that corrupted my mind

[@Uncle_n00b]

Another headphone user, I double checked and can confirm. Definitely didn't catch it on Discovery!😅

[@ZeeZeeVee]

I may never mentally recover from this

[@Booglesli]

Vitamin B12 is actually used to treat nausea, especially in pregnant women. They chose the wrong drug to use as a placebo. Usually you want to use a sugar pill to be 100% that the effects are not correlated with the substance given.

[@diox8tony]

the 3 people who didn't get sick on the chair all moved their head quickly. The slower head moves match with the ocean, and the chair speed. Which I would expect to cause worse confusion than moving quickly

[@Treebeard9]

Please keep uploading these! I’m loving it!!

[@RogunK]

As someone that always got car sick growing up and later got seasick when I was in the navy. The thing that worked for me more than anything was cranking up the A/C and blasting cold air on to me. The funny thing about getting car sick when I was a kid is, I always got car sick when I was riding with my mom, any of my aunts or my grandmother. When I was riding with my dad, stepdad, grandfather or any male for the most part, I never got sick.

[@wombattos]

I love rewatching these. I was always amused watching these years ago.

[@DaThingOnTheDoorstep]

Still fondly remember watching this show when it aired, especially setting a TV up on a cardboard box in a hurry to catch it after a move. Just made it during the intro.

[@warriorcast8567]

i vaguely remember seeing an anti seasick chair that was basically a chair suspended in a hanging ring that was meant to counterbalance the sea movement

[@straphyr]

I have to wonder, does it only work if you close your eyes, or does the entire room moving around you somehow not bother you once your head stop moving?

[@bmxscape]

forget that they make boats with gyroscopes in them so the waves can't tilt it

[@warpdriveby]

This fascinating! I can't believe I've never seen this episode! I studied neuroscience and I worked on a number of studies on proprioception (how your brain knows where your parts are even in the dark or blind). I remember that one idea someone had was that people with stronger reliance on/experience of proprioception was related to shrugging off motion sickness. It wasn't demonstrated but I we didn't find reason to exclude it as possible either.

[@richtravis9562]

I was in the US Navy; I was Always seasick the first 2-3 days, then...nope, even during a Typhoon....but rarely I'd have mild nausea when laying down to sleep. But there where people who just never got seasick...and others that had to stay drugged for 4-6 months straight.

[@RangersRevisited]

So excited to see full episodes!! I used to watch this show all the time growing up. Are the episodes marked “private” going to be made public eventually?

[@hornetscales8274]

Only spend a couple weeks or so on a ship (Carrier, Marine Corps) but I never got sick, though the ship rocked slowly and not unpredictable as a smaller ship might do. I did suffer from the effects after getting back on shore though: Spent 2 days with my equilibrium trying to, in the words of the book Kon Tiki, was occasionally "reeling about......to put a foot to counter a sea that did not come....."

[@mickey1299]

I've had it too , i call it land sickness . I had been on my small yacht for something like 5 days straight , due to bad weather . The anchorage wasn't that bad , but was a bit rolly , and totally off grid . But there comes a time when food , or more often water cuts things short , and this is what happened here . We docked in a marina , and i felt the need to visit the toilet . Sat on the pan , i could swear the floor was moving . No ill effects just that feeling , soon passed , but just really weird .

[@michaelhill6451]

The reason they couldn't get the guns to blow up is because they had the obstructions at the end of the barrel where the pressures from the gas is lowest. If you put a squib near the chamber, you will get the gun to blow up.

[@GlaciesYin]

As someone who just gets easily nauseous, chewing on ginger does help!! I like taking the sugared dried ginger, cos I should be ok once the ginger tastes spicy to me

They keep referring to gun as a rifle! My staff sergeant would have given me jankers for that.

I had the opposite, land sickness. Felt like i was still on the boat for about a week after, had no problems while i was there

[@bartoszpszczoowski123]

[@phunkyfill74]

All the gun myths are my favorite

[@ericoyen1704]

Variation on the steel spike: use a tap and die method by creating a tight thread on the inside of the shotgun barrel, and the same time the same spacing thread on the outside of the spike. Make sure that it can be inserted up to 75% of the way into the barrel. I guarantee you, the breach will give away first before that does.

[@georgeearls3338]

I don't recall if they redid this or not, but I have seen the results of using smokeless powder in a reproduction cap and ball revolver. A big chunk of the cylinder was gone and the top strap standing straight up. No banana barrel, and I don't know what happened to the shooter, but it could not have been good. I think the best chance would be an over charge of smokeless powder in a reproduction muzzle loading shotgun.

I’m an Alaskan. Trust me, the captain never gets seasick. If nausea hits you, ask if you can get behind the wheel. BTW, works with small planes and carsickness as well.

I don’t know how well it would work for motion sickness, but one time I tried eating dandelion greens when I was feeling nauseous. They’re bitter but seemed to help in the same way as ginger, I was surprised!

It's nice to see that the only thing you could say "they couldn't do this now without being controversial" is the myth where they drove two cars until their tanks were empty.

[@BadAIChats]

I used to get motion sick whenever we'd drive somewhere when i was a kid. Oddly enough, as an adult, I haven't had any issues. Even being on cruise ships in rough or relatively calm waters doesn't bother me, lol.

[@dillzilla4454]

most people have it and grow out of it pretty quickly. Also things like VR headsets almost sort of trains you to not get motion sickness. by being just enough that you notice but not enough to make you sick. over time it gets to a point where it is completely unnoticeable

Water down the barrel of a rifle because water won’t compress, the shot in a shotgun allows for the shot to somewhat force the water through it.

The dumbest cure for seasickness I've had work is putting your dominant hand against your bare belly. Not so useful if you have to do anything, but if it's just a car ride or the result of a bender, might be something to save your lunch.

I will say from personal experience using candies/sodas that have real ginger in them has been helpful when I was feeling nauseous in the past, so I will give it to that one for sure. As for the others, I think that they may work for some, and not for others, and prob a larger sample size would have been helpful.
