The dudes from mythbusters are the ultimate unstoppable force vs immovable object,, every time they interact its just
immovable object is an amazing description for a person who once said “I don’t think our death ray is working. I’m standing right in it, and I’m not dead yet.”
Mythbusters Physics: Relative Velocity
The Mythbusters tested what would happen if a ball was shot at 60 mph off the back of a truck travelling at 60 mph to see what would happen.
It became a perfect example of the relative nature of physics - showing that velocity can vectorially add together. 60 mph in one direction cancels the 60 mph in the other, meaning a net velocity of zero.
thanks, you discovered vectors. Fuck me sideways this is dumb
Yup, everyone has the same level of knowledge as you. There’s no one to learn anything from this.
Just to add, before the Mythbusters did this it was purely a thought experiment and had never been empirically tested at that point. So you are seeing in those two gifs the first actually test of that hypothesis since it had been proposed back in Newtons time.
As an astrophysicist I’d like to apologize for @surrenderless rude ass comment. We’re not all pretentious and like they said above, this was the first time this was ever tested. Imagine being so pretentious to something more profound like the double slit experiment.
I will be 70 years old and I still will never have gotten over the time the Mythbusters used a rocket powered steel wall to - and I use this word as literally as possible - vaporize an entire car into red mist
If you haven’t seen this episode of Mythbusters I feel so bad for you because “What car?” remains to this day as a defining moment of my adolescence and my entire life
That was a near-religious experience
I made a gif of it for those of you who cant watch the video in your country. Or if you know you just want to stare at it mesmerized like me

this episode of mythbusters started with an apology holy shit
Oh the cannonball ain’t nothin compared to the esparto incident.
The what now
They were testing the phrase “knock your socks off” and because its the mythbusters build team (which consists of 3 boom addicted gremlins) they decided to go to a quarry near Esparto california to test the myth by blowing shit up. This time they got 500 pounds of ANFO. The detonation was pretty damn big.
They started getting phone calls, turns out they and the experts underestimated the size of the kaboom, reports of broken windows, car alarms going off, people getting knocked out of their seats, hell one news station reported that they leveled the town.
According to grant, that’s why they can no longer go back to esparto.
LMFAO nobody can rival the power of the mythbusters
I’ve seen people talk about how adam and jamie are the polar opposite in energies but the build team operated on the same wavelength 90% of the time and that wavelength was “kaboom.”

That sounds about right for Mythbusters.
- Blendo was put together before Mythbusters was a thing
- Blendo was so strong and dangerous (for throwing debris into the audience) that The Boys were asked to withdraw it in exchange for a co champion title
- they re-entered Blendo years later when the protective wall was much higher. It was once again asked to be withdrawn for a co champion title for the same reason.
- copy cat Blendos started appearing and would tear each other apart
- Blendo is in the robot hall of fame
- Blendo is too strong and powerful
Blendo cannot be stopped.
bonus fact: grant imahara also had a competitive robot named deadblow that would just fucking. hammer the shit out of other robots

My ratties are potty trained so I let them crawl around my bed whenever and I was doing my homework today and they came and cuddled up to me and slept for a while ❤️❤️ and my hamster really loves my mom and crawled under her sweater jacket thing and fell asleep the other day
My cat, female, knows that she is my favorite girlfriend. She typically falls asleep on my forearm.
My dog is my wife’s boyfriend. I am second and always will be even when I feed him and spend most of the day with him.
I love them both as our “children” and treat each with respect to their individual personalities. Thank you for asking.
This is the kindest comment I’ve ever read
Look, whatever you do, don’t turn on closed captioning for Mythbusters
reblog if you would let them keep their apartment, ignore if you would open your window and destroy the fruits of their labor
I LOVE THEM
