awwww

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

[theotheristhedoctor]

That was a near-religious experience 

[outburstsoftheordinary]

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

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Oh wow they sure did vaporise that car into red mist

I’m partial to the “Can a Snowplow Split a Car in Two” one. The answer was “No”, so they naturally ramped it up. Which led to this

A rocket powered, sharpened steel wedge slicing a car (with its engine!) in two, right down the middle

Heard a car horn today that was tuned to a fifth. Fucked up, kinda delightful

[wuggen]

I want people to understand how jarring this was. Most car horns are either a single tone or two tones somewhere in the neighborhood of a minor third apart:

Pretty normal rush hour sounds, yeah? But this thing sounded something like this:

Fucked up! Didn't even realize it was a car horn at first, I didn't know what the fuck it was! It was weird as hell!

If I was a writer at dc I would write about a random man who moved to Gotham. He goes about his daily life. Home, shopping, work, then back home. Every night he watches the news and sees "this just in (villain of the week) has just attacked. X injured and X dead." He slowly gets more and more scared and eventually buys a gun for his own protection. After months of living in horror it comes to a head as he hears twisted laughter. He sees the joker laughing as he stands over a bloody child. And before batman can arrive a gunshot rings out as the joker falls over dead.

The man never gets named. He won't show up in any future comics (except as a background character.)

It would be a simple way to get rid of the modern joker that has strayed far part his original purpose. And it forces batman to realize that not everyone likes his no killing rule.

Dc please, this would be awesome

The first amendment is freedom of speech. Did you mean the second amendment the right to bear arms?

....i may have forgotten to brush up on my american constitutional amendments

[sexy-people-contests-2026]

No no it could be the first amendment, someone eggs him on and he tries to shoot them but he slips from the kickback and cracks his head on the pavement, he dies instantly, all the guy ever did was tell him they saw better clowns at the circus last week, the Jokers shot doesn’t even hit him

TADC constantly reminds us that the cast are people with backstories, that they had lives before the circus. Jax says he misses his tattoos.

[beibeiiscute]

It always catches me off guard. When Zooble mentioned she used to be a tattoo artist, I startled, because oftentimes in shows, backstories are justifications, explanations, not… part of the present unless there’s some childhood friend who makes an appearance or something.

[beibeiiscute]

I love how the world of TADC is so lived in. We’re constantly being shown that there’s history. Even in small moments, like when Jax says “oh yeah, that’s Disappearing Guy. He does that,” you can see the characters are just... used to the circus.

[beibeiiscute]

The world doesn't start when Pomni joins the circus, it continues, and you can tell by the way the characters have inside jokes, by the way they recognise certain NPCs, by the way they're used to most things Caine throws at them, that they've lived in the circus a long time when Pomni arrives.

[beibeiiscute]

The “tutorial”, where unfamiliar terms are explained to the audience, is achieved by having Pomni be a newbie, but it’s very clear that the other characters have been in the circus for a long time.

i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

as well as the three laws of fandom:

Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship

[sorcererofsolitude]

📣 Purity culture kills fandom! 📣

[atlinmerrick]

NO ONE LIVING hasn't been squicked out by something. There's over 7 billion of us, my delights and disgusts aren't universal. So I move on. Don't like the ship? Move on. Don't like____? Move on.

I am not an exception. Neither are you. I don't like it I move on and shut my gob about it because everyone everywhere is squicked out by something and they need to put the thing down and just…motor.

This thread under the post is the funniest thing I've seen today

[pronouncingitwang]

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

[ingoldthewizard]

Cooking is such a leap of faith, even if you've made that exact thing before.

my family wasn't this strict, but in some sects of buddhism you're not allowed to eat the "five pungent vegetables", onions garlic shallots leeks and umm chives i think, really any of those kind of vegetables. probably some monk ages ago was tired of onion farts stinking up the temple. anyways, one time my brother made a soup using all five of them. he said, "one sip of this, and you'll be reincarnated as a flea."
