The two things I know about Da Bomb is, 1) it's where the hot ones start getting really hard, and 2) it tastes very chemical and is about as tasty as battery acid. Perhaps they improved it over time, but I'm not going to taste test it, that's for sure. So Gav almost certainly got the least tasty one. The last dab was at least made with the intent of being good, if you can taste anything but fire.

[@telanis9]

@@Sylfa They had Da Bomb: Evolution, which has all real peppers. It's definitely not the tastiest sauce, but it's way better than the original Da Bomb: Beyond Insanity which uses an extract. IMO, it's not much worse than the Last Dab Apollo and it's better than the newer Last Dab Xperience.

Remember: we only ever see the post-QC Tom-approved subtitles. He probably had to ask them to tone it down for his more serious content, especially on his other channel, but probably also this one.

@Cal Alaera Actually, there are many features that youtube does not make available natively, but still supports. If you go deep enough, you can even find videos that have things like animated subtitles. I personally make subtitles that have a karaoke effect, meaning that the syllables light up as they are going across. It's not like it's automatic, but you don't have to make each individual line of subtitles if you have the right program.

[@NickJerrison]

@Cal Alaera You can upload subtitle files, which by their nature have more capability in them than YT's tools (some of them are not supported tho I believe), so you could make the subs in a separate program and then upload them to your video. That's how you have these subs that change positions, color, almost animated.

Word for the wise: don't do this with chips (or any light snacks for that matter), do it with something you can get a good chew on.

[@Verdugo_Arulaq]

⁠@@TheAlison1456yeah That’s “Hot Ones”

[@Garmanddarksun]

I think the 'order' is in the 'scoville scale', not which one is worse. The scale is based on the amount of capsaicin or something, so da bomb FEELS worse, because of the composition, while the others have more direct capsaicin.

[@lennystudios3.14]

Exactly, capsaicin measures spice to get an objective level of heat, but some people take different spice different ways, for example, I have habanero and occasionally ghost pepper on things all the time, but even the mildest of salsas or spices where the spice is in your nose makes me fall on my knees. Also, a habanero Avacado salsa and a habanero tomato salsa might have the save Scoville scale, but the Avacado one would be slightly milder in my opinion.

[@ThatSingingGuy]

The SHU is designed to measure heat, so one would expect the later ones to be hotter (assuming that's what you mean by "worse"). If anything, based on its flavour - or, more accurately, lack thereof - I suspect Da Bomb has the most chemically extracted capsaicin. I've had multiple 1,000,000+ SHU experiences, including stuff where you have to wear gloves, sign waivers etc. Da Bomb Beyond Insanity was more unpleasant than any of them as a baseline (despite being only about 130,000 SHU), because of how bad it tastes. So when you consider that someone seems to have messed up or misunderstood or is trying to fuck with Tom and / or Gav by using the 500,000 SHU Evolution version instead of Beyond Insanity, it's no wonder the gradient doesn't seem as smooth as usual.

[@Bite4Byte]

Also Hot Ones uses Da 'Bomb Beyond Insanity which is milder than Evolution. But i will say Beyond Insanity tastes horrible which makes it feel way worse.

Gavin was such a genuinely good sport for this. I haven't watched his content for a while so randomly seeing him in this collab was like running into an old friend. It's a nice feeling. :)

[@kabobawsome]

I could see Gavin's logic in the spreadsheet one. After all, the question said "electronic", not "digital".

[@R1NR4N]

Yeah, I was thinking something along the lines of a Turing machine. I definitely lost that question.

[@watchm4ker]

The problem is the interactive aspect. A spreadsheet program would need a way to interactively enter data into cells, then calculate. That won't be doable until the early 70s at best. He would have been closer if the question was about databases, which were IBM's bread and butter from the earliest transistor machines.

[@mwilson5449]

It's a bit tricky, there were all sorts of specialized electronic computing devices before the home PC. But particularly a spreadsheet, yeah, I think you need a significant GUI to be more accessible than pen and paper.

[@princecharon]

Yeah. My own guess was 1965, with pretty similar logic to Gav's.

[@koogco]

But then it also said "spreadsheet" rather than "database" or such, so it probably has to be graphical. I guessed 1981 like Tom.

[@wcs792]

[@crumblebee6728]

This is why the hot ones format works so well - they are both in it. When there’s an element of chance it could mean that just one person is doing it, which creates an off dynamic. You need a situation where you’re going through it together

[@OhNoBohNo]

[@mynameissang]

FYI, the "Da Bomb" they use on the show is different from the one sold on their website and shown here, because the online store as a policy sells hot sauces made with only natural ingredients. The original Da Bomb uses artificial capsaicin extract, so the makers created a new version using only natural ingredients that can be sold on the online store. I haven't tasted the new Da Bomb, but I have tasted both the original Da Bomb and Apollo. It's not close, the Da Bomb is much worse. Apollo at least has the merit of being tasty, Da Bomb is just poison.

[@RedRidesMTB]

The new Da Bomb isn’t much of an improvement. It isn’t disgusting but it’s not good either, just hot. Apollo is probably one of my favorite hot sauces because despite being really hot it has excellent flavor.

[@Just.Kidding]

There's nothing artificial about it. It's not even "capsaicin extract", since that would be extracting something from itself - it's pepper extract.

[@asturias0267]

The reason why speedruns are often calculated with the milliseconds is that runs can get so optimized that the only improvements are often frames faster than the previous world record.

[@left4twenty]

At that point, I start to doubt it being a matter of skill, it feels like when you're shaving frames, it almost starts to become an exercise in luck or probability. When a world record run relies on a bug or miscalculation in the engine that only happens 1/10 times, how could it not be luck based? Like, you have to be good enough, to do it as fast as possible, but I don't think the record is an accurate representation of skill based speed increases
