youtube (free): has almost all episodes of mythbusters vs discovery+(not free): less than 20(the last time I checked)

[@Yvolve]

Someone else owns the rights to Mythbusters: Banijay. A huge production company. They post episodes on the Banijay Science channel.

[@ShuTheIdiot]

It's probably because like the person said the original producers of mythbusters don't actually own the rights to mythbusters anymore; Allan pan actually owes the website/copyright if I remember correctly

[@Yvolve]

@@ShuTheIdiot He doesn't. That turned into a shitshow. I just looked up the story and he tried to register the copyright because it had lapsed, but Warner fought him. Banijay is the rightsholder, all of it. They bought it from Warner, who owns Discovery.

That Carrie cartoon was so damn cool. And her in that yellow jumpsuit 😮😮

[@qwerrecd5070]

and the pizza box art too. the artists on this episode absolutely killed it

[@Yvolve]

30:50 The issue with this setup is that the robot has a very limited range of motion. A person could adjust and punch further while the robot is bottoming out. It also hits in the same spot. If you were to hit in other spots, you create a much bigger hole. Given that the lid broke on the first hit, I would say it is pretty reasonable, if you didn't break your hand in a million pieces on that first attempt.

[@guyfanno1]

Yepexactly what l was thinking. A bit disappointing that they did not really consider that even with the dirt.

[@Wetfoxes]

Exactly. Also if the soil were moist? It would be heavier but maybe stay in place. I have to watch Kill Bill 2 again soon 😅

[@maltesefalcon85]

thing is youd have to take into account range of motion in a confined space they actually gave the dummy a lot more space than beatrix had in the film

[@Yvolve]

@@Wetfoxes That would definitely make a difference. They used dried out, very loose soil. Even a grave that had just been closed up, would be more solid.

[@Yvolve]

@@maltesefalcon85 Not according to what Kari said. She was building a standard size coffin. The height of the coffin doesn't matter anyway as the problem is the robot not punching far enough. A person could push through and expand the cracked in the wood. Punching it 600 times in the exact same spot, with the same max range of motion is not going to change anything.

The cofffin breaking is one i always had issue with, as yhe mechanism isnt trying to punch through the lid, only into it

[@Johny40Se7en]

Amazing stuff, always love the awesome humour too. Could binge watch the sh*t out of Mythbusters. 47:54 Adam's accents are funny AF 😅😆🤣

[@Uncle_T]

Jamie's muscles wouldn't stop a bullet but I'm pretty sure his moustache would. 😁

[@skeevythewizzard5465]

Of course it would, you can`t shoot such a handsome man.

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

The punch robot was only hitting the exact same spot with the same amount of force. Wood that's been glued like a coffin lid would need numerous panels to be broken to undermine the structural integrity and allow the splinters to be ripped apart. The glue joins will be stronger than the wood fibres, so I'd punch toward the edge and hope to loosen some nails in the process.

[@williamhardes8081]

none of this "wood" matter. your knuckles would be bare boned, bloodied and broken.

Awesome Kill Bill myth

[@lemonherb1]

It’s been a few years since I last rewatched Kill Bill, but I always thought that they only dug down to Paula Shultz’s coffin and put the fresh pine one on top for The Bride. If that was the case then maybe only 3’ of dirt was on the lid. I suppose they could have used excavated next to Paula’s coffin, but it really didn’t look like those characters really wanted to put in that much effort. Budd pretty much concluded he already won and he just wanted to break what was left of Beatrice Kiddo’s spirit as she expires

[@lemonherb1]

Well looks like I was wrong, they did dig out Paula's coffin and body. It was in the background. That seems needlessly laborious

[@ZeljkoZeljko-qo1vg]

@@lemonherb1 They really dig someones grave for a movie???

[@him050]

"Is this how Houdini died?" No, sadly he died after being sucker punched in the stomach. The punch ruptured his internal organs.

[@kasiabuchacz]

[@Gametherapist]

Those iPods wou ld be worth so much nowadays...

[@mytube001]

I wonder what the results would've been with two layers of ceramic tiles offset one half tile in both directions. That way, there would be no gaps "visible" to the slug or bullet. For all we know, the smaller bullet might've hit between tiles. I still think they would've gone through, but maybe with much less speed remaining.

[@UntrackedEndorphins]

I want adam's jacket so bad, it's cool af

[@rival7005]

You look back at these after so many years..and you realise how flawed their tests were..and we took them as gospel 😂😂

[@qwerrecd5070]

obviously he's perfectly qualified for it but it's still kinda funny to me that they got Jon Fitch, a fighter known for lay-n-pray above all else, as their pro mma guy for punching

[@MattGuyMP]

22:16 FISTER ROBOTO!

[@borntoclimb7116]

This Episode was very interesting, dont forgot there was a real case pretty similar to the killbill scene.

[@Si74l0rd]

Fitch should have hit the sensor without a glove if you wanted accurate values. The glove disperses the force over a greater area and dampens the effect of the strike. If you were in a coffin it would be your knuckles where the force was concentrated onto the wood of the coffin. Punching it with a glove on would stop you being able to split the wood. If you were in that situation you wouldn't care about split skin across your knuckles, you'd care about being able to place precise impacts in the same place and concentrate the force into the smallest possible area.

[@browninplay]

I know it’s late but in the coffin punch myth, they needed a female martial artist because she would not be as strong as John finch the test is flawed.

[@docthebiker]

Punching through the wood of the coffin would not be a problem for the bride, it's the dirt falling in, but she wouldn't have smashed out a foot square sized hole in on go so could have controlled the speed the dirt fell in by starting with a smaller hole. The question then becomes could she push that down into the coffin and have room to widen the hole and escape?

[@BHALT0S]

uma thurman's character had in kill bill, trained for what seemed like a considerable time at Makiwara, I myself have trained in Makiwara and your "MMA" fighter's knuckles look nothing like anyone who has trained in makiwara.... and look more like someone who enjoys nice soft comfy gloves when fighting. this means your force is spread out, rather than the use of just the force going through the first two knuckles, it's like trying to puncture a balloon with a spoon vs a pin. im willing to bet someone like Mas Oyama or one of the guys from Turtlepress videos on yt, would blast through the coffin no bother.... prolly the worst part would be the couple tons of dirt coming in on you tbh.

[@Therian13]

I think the issue wasn`t the punching, but rather the sheer weight of dirt piling onto you, if you were buried 6 feet under. Even if you had the strength and precision to strike the same area multiple times enough to fracture it, the dirt would pour in quicker than you could force yourself to sit-up in and climb your way out of. Quite a few survival videos advise to make a makeshift helmet/head-shield with our own shirt before it comes crashing in. They even advise to kick/push the dirt towards your feet as you try to scramble up. (the goal is to essentially fit into the hole before gravity pins you down, and use your feet to propel yourself upwards). Chances wouldn`t look good, either way. You can choose to let yourself asphyxiate and fall into a deep slumber by doing nothing, or let yourself violently smother to death in defiance. ------ I do wonder if the cirumstances would be different though, if the dirt was wet and clumped together, as a fresh grave or rainy funeral would provide. 0_o

[@nkszs]

this was already up on yt, at least the audio is fixed

[@iiiuuj]

should the fat not be hard apcked of course if its loose like it is the bullet will go thru 26:47

[@playbub1]

regarding the punching power - what am i missing obviously no one can punch with 7000 lbs - thats almost 3 tons and the cast generating 600 lbs (270kg) with a 3 inch punch is ridiculous aswell.. 270kg is what a boxer gets with a good hit. i dont get it.. what am i missing

[@lord_moist]

Grant's force measuring device is likely quite flawed, it doesn't seem to be able to measure force accurately as it reacted weird just to the touch

[@Archer690Channel]

maybe they set up the sensor or measurements wrong because there's no way those punches were that strong

[@user-mu8br6ql1i]

how about proving the god myth

Fitch isn’t a striker.

[@jbern2185]

Yeah, he's a wrestler. I'm sure he trained heavily in striking, but they should have gone with a boxer or kickboxer instead.

[@annanmanpaul101]

what about Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch

[@scottneil1187]

It's a myth like practically everything about him, he was an actor with no proven fight record, the only video of the 1 inch punch is so staged it's laughable.

Mythbusters and animals, well... Sometimes its hard.

[@oivinf]

Crazy to me that they're actually firing guns inside the M5 workshop, I would think that was legally problematic

[@benjaminb4042]

Since I learned that Adam and Jamie didnt like each other watching mythbuster hasnt been the same, I can really see it now

[@Landga]

Adam has actually talked about this on his channel in different videos. It wasn’t that they didn’t like each other. It’s that they weren’t friends. They respect each other as colleagues and professionals. But are not friends. Adam’s videos on mythbusters questions are actually really cool. And of course the question of Jamie and his relationship has come up several times

[@jamesdean8785]

It’s amazing really that they remained so professional during what must have been huge extended periods of time together for the best part of, if not more, than a decade. I think the mutual respect they had for each others’ intelligence and problem solving abilities. I think they genuinely enjoyed the work and were able to tolerate each other if each treated the other with respect if it meant having a TV career. Let’s face it most of TV and Film have large personalities you have to tolerate

[@adoreoner8185]

even in this episode they jokingly make fun of each other. they worked it into the show and I think it works well. They're not pretending to be great buddies, I think their characters on the show are more like friendly enemies, hope u can enjoy the show again

Once out of previously said coffin the soil is full of just enough oxygen as you prefer, personal carbon dioxide helps me, sidetracking sorry. Where was we... Oh yes at this point you can wriggle you way upright on punch through the soil, then use the same technique to push the soil underneath you and escape... Or long story short, chances of survival of a burial slim to none, but the is that slim chance. Chances of survival of cremation zero

[@AyPapi69]

The Kill Bill myth should've been tested with help of a Shaolin Monk, not a pro MMA fighter. And the robo-fist can't really compete with human ingenuity, skills, etc.

[@RunicSigils]

Ingenuity doesn't even have anything to do with it. The robot didn't even have basic common sense in it's punching, The real problem with their test was that they kept punching the same spot. A human wouldn't once they saw how the cracks were going. Especially knowing they have to make a hole large enough to crawl through, punching the same spot doesn't make a lick of sense. You wouldn't have much room to move around but you could and would definitely punch in between the two cracks you can see forming in the burial test to make a larger hole.

I love the show, but as a gun owner/lover I gotta point out that he has no clue of how to correctly wield the gun and position his body, which is weird cause you'd figure they'd have been instructed

[@Ryan_the_dawg]

I wonder though, would a person actively flexing their muscle and tightening up the fibres in said muscle via electric impulse make that muscle more likely to stop a bullet? Probably not but it just seems to me that a muscle just hanging there sagging wouldn't be realistic, im surprised they didn't think to run a small current through the muscle to force it to contract or flex.

[@thesnesgeek]

Yes
