I can’t believe I would have to start tagging spoilers for the show like the pjo book came out 10 years ago it’s old news that Luke was the villain move on

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?"

Some myths I'll always remember:

* Are elephants scared of mice? (They only did that because they were in Africa and had access to elephants.)

* Will a bull run amok in a china shop?

* Is it better to run zig-zag or straight when chased by an alligator?

I love these because NONE of them turned out the way they expected. They went into all three with pre-conceived ideas of how it would go, and each time they "failed." Elephants WILL cower from mice. A bull moves very gingerly through a china shop. It doesn't matter how you run because ALLIGATORS WON'T CHASE YOU.

And each time, they reacted with just... pure glee. "Holy shit, we were wrong! Oh my god! This is great! We were so wrong!"

And that, to me, is what science is. Being excited about being wrong because either way it's information.

Fire in Space : What does fire look like in space? In the gravity on Earth, heated air rises and expands, causing flames to be teardrop shaped. In the microgravity of the air-filled International Space Station (ISS), however, flames are spheres. Fire is the rapid acquisition of oxygen, and space flames meet new oxygen molecules when they float by randomly from all directions – creating the enveloping sphere. In the featured image taken in the ISS’s Combustion Integration Rack, a spherical flame envelopes clusters of hot glowing soot. Without oxygen, say in the vacuum of empty space, a fire would go out immediately. The many chemical reactions involved with fire are complex, and testing them in microgravity is helping humanity not only to better understand fire – but how to put out fire, too. via NASA

I’m really annoyed with the internet woobification of batman 2022’s riddler because it fully misses the point of the entire movie to almost concerning degree

figofswords

Ok. So. Basically what it comes down to is that The Batman (2022)’s Riddler is a fairly obvious (at least to me) stand-in for the very real-world phenomena of young white men who feel isolated and personally victimized by society, who turn to the internet to feel less alone, and who are preyed upon by domestic hate groups who validate and weaponize their feelings and turn them into genuine white supremacists and neo-nazis and armed insurgents who march on Washington DC to violently protest democracy. Initially, the Riddler targets the corrupt, using the internet as a means to further spread his rhetoric to disconnected white men like him, but by the end of the movie he’s bombing flood walls and sending militarized followers to assassinate Bella Réal, a young black mayoral candidate who wishes to bring real systemic change to Gotham. This reveals the truth and the hypocrisy of his mission, which is that he’s not really trying to effect change—he’s lashing out and tearing down a world that he feels has victimized him, personally, and he’s doing this while trying to pull others into his violence. He’s a normal looking guy, with a normal job. A nobody. Someone who could be anyone, who could be someone you know, and meanwhile he’s online encouraging paramilitary violence and committing acts of domestic terrorism. This is how hate groups function in real life. It’s not a subtle allegory. The fact that a truly alarming proportion of internet fandom has, after seeing this movie, managed to miss the very obvious messaging and choose to reduce him to just a funny little guy who has a crush on Batman and just wants a little attention is, frankly, concerning to me because of what it means for peoples’ ability recognize hate group recruitment in real life.
