I like how there is no time paradoxes. So accurate to the shows. There should be a paradox. Think about it. He tells the guy to make a time machine to save his brother. However when he comes back to the present his brother doesn’t die so he never confronts the engineer about making a time machine. But the time machine has to exist for his brother to be saved.

There's no such thing as a time paradox in that sense, as time doesn't loop backward retroactively (The time effects in Looper were pure garbage for that reason). It's always moving forward to the reality caused by the actions of the past. The machine was created in his past, and he travels forward to a new future, the only issue is that the engineer wouldn't have known him or why he was there, but he's either in a new dimension or a locally-modified version of our dimension. I prefer to think of it like loading an old save but you keep your character's progress for some reason, and overwrite your later saves where your character actually gained that progress.

This is way too accurate lmao

the guy: we only hav 2 minutes to solve this oh no also the guy: invented time travel machine 50seconds earlier

[@jkvoot]

That brilliant part was continuously smooth.

As an student in engineering school rn, can confirm, we are on hammers rn

[@mage3690]

The hammer is the most useful tool in the shop, change my mind.

[@bsodbsod7724]

Screwdriver / drill

it would be funny to see what's going on inside the person's head matched with the amount of time that went by along with all the classes they did and hours they put in to get to that thought in the first place

[@dannychenski687]

I so badly needed you to be behind a green screen when you did 1:32.. this would've been a perfect STEM meme template

Zach is a master at seamlessly integrating sponsorships into his sketches. Flawless execution!

[@NotHPotter]

If only this is what it's like in actual school.

[@extropiantranshuman]

I'm totally the engineer in my life - I am the person who creates dyson spheres, wormholes, etc. for all the companies that I invest in - the only difference is I pay them to have all this fun lol.

Hey Now!!!... Once you've built the time machine, what's with the "I'll need some time?" 🤣🤣

[@19hun]

Very funny and one of the best ad transitions ive ever seen.

[@sungodmoth]

Fake, you didn't even calculate the eigenvalues of a mobius strip

[@adrianokossoski9454]

The last level of any engineering system in the films are the Nanomachines - from machine design, electronics, power generation, robotics, etc.

[@AlbinoJedi]

The background just helps with the joke that this is exactly what happens in The Flash all the time. It doesn't matter how outrageous something is, Cisco or Chester can make it.

[@messiethehamster957]

That was actually the best brilliant plug ive seen in my life
