Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure

Mythbusters - Blog Posts

2 years ago

One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had. 

It helps me to actually sleep to know that just lying down with my eyes closed is still doing me some good, and helps me to not freak out/beat myself up when I stay up later than intended. Any amount of rest is better than no rest!

So if you didn’t know that…now you do

mythbusters was so good because it wasn't a killjoy show. they didn't just say "see, it doesn't work" and leave it there

whenever they find that the stunt doesn't work as portrayed in the movie, they immediately ask "what would it take to make this happen?"

Even Better If It's The Actual Mythbusters Testing The Tropes.

Even better if it's the actual Mythbusters testing the tropes.

Is sexual tension inevitable when there's only one bed?

If my best friend has a sibling, will I fall in love with them?

Will I meet my future spouse in my favorite local coffee shop?

Adam and Jaime will find out in this episode of Tropebuster!

Plants Don't Have Mouths, But They Can Sing
I can't believe it, yet I can't not. I hear it with my own ears. I decide to smile at the mystery. I stretch back underneath the shady branches and listen.

Huh

I just realized that Jamie and Adam of Mythbusters ...

Huh

... both look a fair amount like Alex Sector from M.A.S.K.

Huh

Hm. Adam's beard is closer, but Jamie wouldn't have to shave his head. I doubt either of them could pull off the accent, though.

mythbusters was such a trip, watching every episode is a total blast!

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

I think what made the Mythbusters special was this: of course they would always ask, and test, “could the circumstances of the myth produce the described result?” but they ALSO always took the extra step to “under what circumstances, no matter how extreme, could the described result be achieved? ” and it was fucking spectacular every time
