60 of 237 · most liked firstRE: The Mythbusters/Nobody Asked comparisons, I was talking to Adam Savage about the show at SDCC and when I told him about one of the experiments we did he said “oh we thought about doing that on Mythbusters, but everyone said it was too dumb”.
neutral · AI labelView post →saw a clip of that Mythbusters show testing whether it saves energy to leave lights on all the time vs turning them off and one of the people goes “I don’t think that’s true” and they test it on 10 lightbulbs and it wasn’t true and the person goes “It’s looking like this myth might not be true”
neutral · AI labelView post →I never watched that Mythbusters show but occasionally I’ll scroll past a video called “Why he will NEVER work with Jamie again!” so in my mind it’s sort of a Fleetwood Mac thing where all the Mythbusters were fucking each other behind one another’s back

Sony is [Sony is about to delete Mythbusters, Naked and Afraid, and tons of other Discovery shows from PlayStation users’ libraries even if they already “purchased” them.](https://kotaku.com/sony-ps4-ps5-discovery-mythbusters-tv-1851066164?) So, if you bought a DVD licensed by Sony, can they now legally enter your house and take your DVD? Or can Sony have some sort of DRM that prevents the DVD from playing when Sony…
neutral · AI labelView post →the most charmingly "TV show" element of Mythbusters is how they...like, go, "Well, this myth is impossible, would never happen...BUT we're gonna build a robot that makes it happen anyway" why? cause it's fun, that's why

neutral · AI labelView post →🎉 MYTHBUSTERS premiered 22-years ago The show once tested a combination of common materials that resulted in an extremely powerful explosive. They deleted the footage and contacted DARPA to warn them about the potential misuse of the combination.

neutral · AI labelView post →CW - #HardVore, #FatalVore You know that one time the Mythbusters put a human analog inside an old school diving suit and then released all the pressure, leading to a series of pops and blood going filling the diving bell? I like to think that's how tight wolf throats work too <333

neutral · AI labelView post →Youtube has been recommending vids of old Mythbusters episodes and god what a good show that was. I think more science education could stand to be like Mythbusters because nothing made me more interested in a variety of disciplines than getting to watch the crew testing fascinating hypotheticals

positive · AI labelView post →In Breaking Bad, Walter White & Jesse Pinkman try to dissolve dead bodies using hydrofluoric acid. MythBusters demonstrated that sulfuric acid is better suited for such purposes, and Jeffrey Epstein may have watched that show

neutral · AI labelView post →Just found out there are full episodes of Mythbusters on YouTube (and the whole series on HBO) Man this show is so good.
positive · AI labelView post →@usrepkathycastor.bsky.social has a new series called “MythBusters” in this episode, she pulled @balint.house.gov and @repstansbury.bsky.social out of a @housebudgetdems.bsky.social meeting to discuss the lies Rs are trying to tell about the big ugly bill. Check out her page for more of these. 6/
neutral · AI labelView post →There was a channel called SpikeTV “Television for Men” (finally!) and they had a show called “Manswers” that was like a MAGA version of MythBusters where they did things like see if a breast implant could survive getting shot with bullets and other objects.
neutral · AI labelView post →The latest episode of Nobody Asked was a damn delight and I'm so happy this show is just straight up "what if Mythbusters but it's all comedians and it's stupid"

neutral · AI labelView post →Who's a good boy. The series Mythbusters once put a bull in a china shop and the bull didn't knock over anything.
neutral · AI labelView post →White Rabbit Project was a series on Netflix that took the let go team from Mythbusters and had them doing… Stuff? It unfortunately wasn’t spectacular. BUT! It had a segment exploring the whole deal with people flipping out over technology, and it’s why I so often bring up the Office Space printer.
neutral · AI labelView post →TIL the producer responsible for shocking Adam Savage with the battery "prank" on Mythbusters and trying to make the show a confrontation fake reality show like American Chopper STILL holds a grudge against Adam and thinks Adam is orchestrating a cancel conspiracy against him to this day.
neutral · AI labelView post →the funny thing about Mythbusters is that Jamie and Adam both hate 9/11 deniers but they never tested it on the show
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok everybody I can’t keep it in anymore, I have to admit this… I actually have never watched Mythbusters. Show me your fave moments so I can binge thank you..?
neutral · AI labelView post →So today I learned they did a series of Mythbusters without Adam and Jamie. Sounds like sacrilege, in all honesty...
negative · AI labelView post →Man, Mythbusters would 100% be a YouTube series nowadays. The idea that this show existed on cable television feels like an idea from 100 years ago.
neutral · AI labelView post →The transition of television from Mythbusters, a show about using science to test and validate/invalidate supposed truths to Oak Island, a show spending years exploring absolute garbage pseudohistory pretty much says everything to me about the evolution of US culture.
neutral · AI labelView post →Mythbusters, but an in-universe Star Wars show.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hearing various podcasts & interviews about the production of Mythbusters is cathartic for me, having also spent 10 years on a show that had whacky fun but also behind the scenes pains. They lived the peak of reality TV chaos, yet turned out as kind & level headed people, which is quite inspiring.
neutral · AI labelView post →Mythbusters also did an episode on it and found the same results.
neutral · AI labelView post →At our house we have a holiday tradition of building a Lego set while watching an episode or three of Mythbusters, established 10 or 15 years ago when the show did a long marathon of all their episodes over the holidays. Carrying that tradition on today.

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the best items brought on the show "Naked & Afraid"? A roll of duct tape. The show now bans it because they can easily make containers and yes, shoes out of it. Mythbusters was not lying.

neutral · AI labelView post →to be fair, "What if the Mythbusters were [X]" is an extraordinarily good premise for any show. What if they were space explorers? Stuck adventuring in a fantasy land? Hunting rogue superheroes?
neutral · AI labelView post →Putting together rival critics who hated each other's opinions? I just really don't think we'll ever get this kind of thing again. Closest I can think of is the Mythbusters, who would not have chosen to work together on a tv show for that long. And they were at least polite on camera.

neutral · AI labelView post →And in reverse, Mythbusters was only offered to Jamie. He knew he'd never be able to carry an entire show on his personality, so he suggested Adam as someone he respected enough to share the series with.
