When you want to be remembered as an accomplished engineer/scientist, but will forever be remembered as "the guy who blew crap up"
#88 to #2 - kanyesfishsticks (01/12/2016) [-]
A lot of their tests after the first few seasons were extremely unscientific. They ran out of good myths to bust.
User avatar #89 to #88 - teedoubler (01/12/2016) [-]
Most of their tests were plenty scientific. 'Unscientific' is a really vague way to describe something. You can test something silly, but as long as you're following the proper methodology, you are being 'scientific.' If anything, they got a bit better at the scientific parts at things went on, even though they were definitely testing sillier and sillier things.

The only things they occasionally lacked in the 'scientific' department are sample size and elimination of extraneous variables.

>watching mythbusters for science.
You're telling me you don't watch the show to see the Savage man tame the Walrus?

I'll always rememeber him as the guys with the beret.
User avatar #66 to #2 - scorcho (01/12/2016) [-]
they're not scientists/engineers they are really good special effects guys.
User avatar #71 to #66 - psychologyxplain ONLINE (01/12/2016) [-]
Jamie has a doctorate in Engineering from Villanova. Also, Adam Savage was born and raised in my town (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
User avatar #79 to #71 - baditch (01/12/2016) [-]
New York State mentioned. Swell with geographical diversity and people asking me if I'm from the city.
User avatar #100 to #71 - squaretree (01/12/2016) [-]
Actually, its an honorary degree. His actual degree is in Russian linguistics.
User avatar #101 to #100 - psychologyxplain ONLINE (01/12/2016) [-]
I stand corrected. My second point still stands
User avatar #73 to #66 - dentalfloss (01/12/2016) [-]
Like making good special effects doesn't involve science and engineering...
User avatar #74 to #73 - scorcho (01/12/2016) [-]
it's just a different job profile, that's all i'm saying.
User avatar #70 to #69 - scorcho (01/12/2016) [-]
because they just aren't.
they have said that on numerous occasions.
building cool stuff =/= being an engineer.

NOUN
a skilful contriver or originator of something:
"the prime engineer of the approach"


They fit the bill. Also, Jamie has a degree in engineering so you're just wrong.

The walrus who blew crap up*
#11 to #3 - sgtmajjohnson (01/12/2016) [-]
I would say the inventor of Rice Krispies, aka J. Robert Oppenheimer, is more famed for blowing stuff up as opposed to physics then Einstein is.
#64 to #11 - angelious ONLINE (01/12/2016) [-]
meanwhile, that one guy who was famous for inventing stuff to blow **** up is remembered for peace and prosperity
User avatar #49 to #11 - miscreant (01/12/2016) [-]
Am I completely misreading you or are you saying Oppenheimer invented Rice Krispies? If so, source?
#50 to #49 - sgtmajjohnson (01/12/2016) [-]
I was referencing this picture. See, because the Japanese eat a lot of rice?
User avatar #52 to #50 - miscreant (01/12/2016) [-]
No wonder I didn't find **** .
Funny stuff, thanks for the explanation.
User avatar #48 to #11 - jonandstuff (01/12/2016) [-]
I agree with you, but most people might not know Oppenheimer as well as the easier to remember Einstein. I think the reason the general public know Einstein so much better is because his name is the word for being smart. Baby Einstein, and etc.

I love Oppenheimer though, cool guy, to say the least.
User avatar #51 to #48 - sgtmajjohnson (01/12/2016) [-]
Oh, yeah. I'm not saying Oppenheimer's as well known as Einstein, just that he's more famed exclusively for blowing **** up, while Einstein's known for special relativity and all that.
User avatar #55 to #3 - europe (01/12/2016) [-]
I thought his work was mostly theoretical?
#37 to #3 - anon (01/12/2016) [-]
But he's much more remembered for the scientific aspects.
User avatar #31 to #2 - brobathehutt (01/12/2016) [-]
A good way to be remembered as an accomplished engineer/scientist is being an engineer or scientist, they're not trying to be scientists or engineers and they've said this a lot, they're basically taking things that are already known and demonstrating it in a badass way. They don't want to be known as scientists or engineers, but they do hope they inspire more people to scientists and engineers.
User avatar #21 to #2 - Riukanojutsu (01/12/2016) [-]
Maybe saying "In doubt, use C4" was not the way to go to be remembered for being a good engineer/scientist

Today on Mythbusters we're going to be testing the myth that blowing stuff up makes you 36 percent cooler.
I liked that show, I'll miss it
#40 to #1 - innocentbabies (01/12/2016) [-]
Totally busted.
Blowing stuff up makes you way more than 36% cooler.
#19 - anon (01/12/2016) [-]
they may be remembered for blowing stuff up, but it's the "let's test this" attitude that will be ingrained....

I would bust my myth all over Kari Byron
#56 to #46 - anon (01/12/2016) [-]
there are literally millions of porn pages on the internet, meaning you decided to ignore them all to fap to her. That means she is your imaginary waifu (because she'll never be yours) or you have a severe stalking syndrome similar to the people who watched Emma Watson grow up and then finally deciding "hey, I wanna put my dick in that chick on TV but first I'll make 10 posts on reddit about her"
#75 to #56 - penileburglar (01/12/2016) [-]
It was one comment about a girl related to the topic, that doesn't imply ANY of the stuff you just said.

Sure, you can be another scientist who studied the mating behavior of fruit flies, OR you can be remembered as the guys who blew a bunch of **** up in an entertaining way. I know which legacy I'd prefer: the one that would leave Michael Bay as the director of my biopic.

listen/watch Tested's podcast you dip.
jamie and adam have professional relationship, they are not 'friends that hangs out' outside of work, they respect each other but never hates.
they banters back and forth and that's just show how smart people interacts with each other and not letting emotions hinders their work.
User avatar #10 to #9 - misternobodie (01/12/2016) [-]
I've meant hated to work each other, thats what I've heard. I'm no journalist but you can check >>#8 out and listen.
User avatar #7 to #4 - jonnyfrosty (01/12/2016) [-]
"Hated" is exaggerated I think
User avatar #16 to #7 - misternobodie (01/12/2016) [-]
YiS.
#5 to #4 - anon (01/12/2016) [-]
except that was confirmed not to be true, they are also touring together.
User avatar #20 to #5 - jagerhaus (01/12/2016) [-]
I was lucky enough to get to see them since its their last one. Loved listening to Adam.
User avatar #6 to #5 - misternobodie (01/12/2016) [-]
But the blondie said that and I saw the vid. He mostly said : '' I really dont think we will ever work again, but no bad feelings, were just not friends is all '' something like that.
User avatar #13 to #6 - vorarephilia (01/12/2016) [-]
were just not friends is all =/= we hate each other.
User avatar #14 to #13 - misternobodie (01/12/2016) [-]
There is no such thing as fixing what you typed.

**** do you even read ? I typed it in a split second and I already told you

I meant they hated working with each other. For such a long time

Its about their relationship.
THEY. HATED. WORKING. WITH. EACH.OTHER.
User avatar #17 to #14 - vorarephilia (01/12/2016) [-]
That sounds like a kid I knew in school. We never really hung out but we could work together and make our science projects a league ahead.

There is a situation between hate and friend called "co-workers."
User avatar #27 to #17 - misternobodie (01/12/2016) [-]
Thats what hes saying in the ************* video. I got it from CRACKED.KOM
A 'Crazy' Relationship: MythBusters Savage and Hyneman
Did nobody read what I wrote ? I said they didnt let their egos get in the way as professionals. Sorry for crushing all your dreams, FJ. Lifes a beach.
#30 to #27 - anon (01/12/2016) [-]
Except they didn't say that in that video. They don't hate working with each other. Adam doesn't say "I hated working with Jamie" or vice versa. Adam doesn't say, "I hate Jamie as a person". In fact, he says quite the opposite in this video.
User avatar #29 to #27 - vorarephilia (01/12/2016) [-]
That is what normal, healthy adults do when working with others.

"The fact of the matter is, I wouldn't want anyone else in my corner helping me build stuff"

Yeah, definitely hated each other.
User avatar #33 to #28 - misternobodie (01/12/2016) [-]
And

Hate working together =/= Hate each other. I stated that they were professionals in my original comment. He says he never saw his partner outside of work and never will and thats okay. And he doesnt think he will work with him again after so much friggin time.
User avatar #91 to #33 - teedoubler (01/12/2016) [-]
They didn't hate working together, either. He outright said he wouldn't have wanted to work with ANYBODY else. They just aren't friends, there's no 'hate' to be had anywhere there. You were just outright wrong and now you're frantically (and unsuccessfully) backpedaling.

#39 to #36 - ExorArgus (01/12/2016) [-]
Like idk if your 12 or just can't deal with a variety of different types of interpersonal relationship. but people can work really well together on one thing but have nothing in their personal lives in common. Adam is a huge ******* nerd whereas Jamie is more of a outdoors man. But they are both engineers who want more in life then engineering.

As well you are taking hated far too literally. They worked together because they both knew that the other one was the best person to be working with.

"And he doesnt think he will work with him again after so much friggin time."
as if that means anything. Stop projecting.
#42 - pocketstooheavy (01/12/2016) [-]
Apparently they don't really get along too well.

Just what I heard.
User avatar #44 to #42 - genericnickname (01/12/2016) [-]
They get along and they are able to work with and respect each other. Despite they don't get along they are both aware of each others professional statuses and are able to work together. Strictly business relationship.
User avatar #43 to #42 - twothreefivefive (01/12/2016) [-]
Yes Adam himself confirmed in an interview that they worked well with each other as business partners but they are not friends. It's kinda sad and weird.
User avatar #45 to #43 - darthblam (01/12/2016) [-]
You'd think that after working together for years a kind of friend-ish relationship would just naturally happen. Guess not with these guys..
User avatar #47 to #45 - tsagu (01/12/2016) [-]
Well they have completely different personalities that really clash, so it's kind of understandable they wouldn't really be friends off set.
User avatar #90 to #43 - teedoubler (01/12/2016) [-]
That's actually pretty normal for successful business, so it's not surprising that the same dynamic exists for a successful show. Hiring a bunch of guys with the exact same outlook on life is often bad, because sometimes you'll benefit more from 3 guys with 3 different ideas than from 3 guys with the same ideas. That's especially applicable for something like Mythbusters, where the there is no clear-cut approach to the each task.

Like Adam says in the interview, that constant back-and-forth questioning and criticizing of ideas is how they end up with conclusions that are ultimately better than what they would have come up with alone. Being professional is all about being able to work with people that have different ideas from you, anybody can work with like-minded people.

Mythbusters - Best explosions Because science gets exponentially more interesting with the amount of explosions you have... I love Adam's slightly evil laugh at the end...

sorry for speaking off meta but don't yall find it strange that the same 10 funnyjunkers have the front page of funnyjunk week after week? Like this content is pretty **** /average compared to a lot of new uploads, but why does this **** soar? Because he's famous?
User avatar #86 to #85 - battletechmech (01/12/2016) [-]
They have subscribers who see whenever they post content, users can then go to the post and thumb it if they want, since most people don't bother going to new releases. Also putting your content in a proper channel is a good way to get more people to see it.

Do you not understand the concept of user submitted sites? I've submitted only a handful things in my ten years here, Muahahalore submits probably hourly. Who are you going to see more of?
