Oh man... the Adam on the treadmill part was one of my favorite moments... Mythbusters or otherwise EVER ! "ZIP !... OK... I'M TOTALLY COOL !..." I mean he was off the treadmill ? !... Why did he step back on ? !

[@Dhuntermarcel]

Alcohol. That's why.

[@janisskapars2081]

Adrenaline (and whatever actions are done to produce it) is the key. You "sober up" for 5 minutes but that does not make any alcohol to magically dissapear from your body.

[@CreativeCache101]

Adrenaline would increase heart rate and possibly increase metabolism as a result so it help lower Adams blood alcohol level slightly faster

[@BassFlapper]

Drinking while watching this

[@psychotimo]

on the 'hwacha myth', IIRC an original Hwacha was just more of a rocket propelled arrow rather than an explosive arrow. But on the explosive part of this version: most grenades tend to be made in a way that they throw out shrapnel, and it's mostly the shrapnel that does the damage rather than the explosion. IIRC the koreans used paper. But I think that clay tubes (or even wood) to carry the black powder would be a lot better in (shorter ranged) explosive versions. Those clay tubes could serve as both the 'rocket' part as well as the 'shrapnel' part. In which case this weapons seems more than plausible to be pretty damn dangerous. Just shower the battlefield with explosive arrows, even if some of them don't explode, the arrows and amount of clay shrapnel/splinters flying around might kill a good amount of enemies, but I think the biggest benefit would be the added (non lethal) damage. An enemy with a leg or arm wound from the shrapnel, would be a lot easier to defeat.

The Hwacha is not exactly a precision weapon, and I would imagine an actual period accurate army would've been a bit more closer to each other than their stand-ins are... Basically probably for full accuracy, should have had an extra soldier in every gap between theirs...

[@interestingtimes6439]

If that Hwacha weapon could ONLY shoot 500 yards (not 400 yards, 100 yards etc), it is only effective for a few seconds.

[@user-fy6js2mg2k]

The white board realy lost its magic over time

[@psychotimo]

for the 'beer goggles' myth, IMO it's semi true. But really depends on what 'type of drunk' you are. some people get a bit more aggressive, others get very touchy, others get very emotional,.... So stands to reason that some people would f*ck a cardboard box while drunk, whereas others might be more likely to punch a supermodel rather than try to woo them while drunk xP also, people rating has some inherent issues, like re-rating the same people causes bias( simply cause you've seen them before), and rating different people that 'averaged to the same score' also causes a skew due to personal preferences not necesarily matching the 'comparably attractive group of images'. Let's imagine that for the 'comparably attractive groups' there might have been no apparant bias for blondes/brunettes/.... whereas let's say Jamie might be a sucker for blondes, the comparable groups might not have the exact same amount of blondes causing a skew in the results. (even if larger things like hair color are kept into account, there's so many details that might be very relevant to some people but not to others. someone might be a sucker for a specific combination of hair/eye colors with things like freckles, hairstyle, type of nose, type of...) Just saying that this is an inherently hard one to check, So due to the subjectivity of what different people find attractive you'd need massive groups of subjects to even begin making a somewhat representative and very generalized conclusion.

I wonder if they use different measurements for alcohol.. cauose 0,0X or 0.X is not considered drunk here :D for sure not 0.1... when you talk about someone being really drunk it is 1+, no decimals..

If your BAC starts without a decimal point, you're a goddamn corpse. I believe readings as high as .4 can be lethal.

I remember when Adam and Jamie laughed at the man claiming that there was such thing as weather modification. Yet they actually time lapse a sky like this, which is exactly that; Weather modification. 44:01

[@theswissmiss69]

Weather modification?

[@mortenhansen3455]

@@theswissmiss69Look it up

[@jongrey1916]

@@theswissmiss69 - Some folks get confused by the difference between mitigation and modification, weather mitigation is a real thing that happens - for example Calgary Canada uses cloud seeding to mitigate(reduce) destructive hail storms - but modification to create weather systems is fantasy that has failed in every experimental attempt as the atmosphere is just too dynamic to effectively control. The Mythbusters themselves had enough trouble trying to control all the variables in far simpler experiments to get them to work, the atmosphere is insanely complex and variable and only fools would think it can be that well controlled and Jamie isn't a fool - pick a spot on earth and choose 3 different altitudes above that single spot and the conditions can be drastically different for each altitude. Also their lack of understanding of basic atmospheric physics means they think every cloud and contrail is "proof" of their fantasy.

[@lemons1559]

​@@jongrey1916 Think it might be more accurate to say that you can modify the weather (to some extent) but can't control the local climate. Cloud seeding is exactly weather modification but as weather is temporary and ever changing, so is weather modification. Weather control has even been weaponized during the Vietnam war to prolong and intensify the rain season's destruction but as soon as the operation ended, the climate remained as it is.

[@mortenhansen3455]

@@jongrey1916 Call it what you want, but that is manipulation of natural weather patterns. And you can ignore it and try to deny it. But it is fact. Other wise if it is just hot/cold air meeting, that creates condensation. Then you will have a very tough time explaining why fighter jet's doesn't produce them. Water simply doesn't condense from just hot meeting cold. It demands, DEMANDS a physical particle, to where condensation can actually condensate around. This is also known as Condensation nuclei. In nature it can be every thing from dust from the deserts or salt from the sea. But the long white line we see, fanning out during the day, is 100% an artificially introduced amount of particles. It is a fact.

[@Bloodtoxx]

Picking different people to rate the second and third time skews any results. Each time, the people shown could have just been objectively less or more attractive to them all whether they were sober or drunk.

[@harvey854]

Rating the same people in each condition would skew the results, because it effectively means that you will have more time for each rating on the second trial than on the first one (because you will have seen the people already). The idea is that, if you do the test on different people, you do it with enough people so that variations due to sampling even out, and the difference in the total rating is then just due to alcohol consumption. If your samples consist of, say, just one person each, then the results will obviously be unreliable. But if your samples consist of ten thousand people, then it's safe to say that each sample is representative enough. They obviously didn't rate ten thousand people each, but you get my idea. There are other problems with how they did this particular test, though. For one, they only tested three people. In order to reach a confident conclusion, you would have to do the test with many more people.
