These things are pretty scary! The acrobatics are amazing, the guy has a lot of skill but I think there's going to be a lot of backlash after the skiing incident.

Orrery Construction Time Lapse - 7 Months in 7 Minutes

robbersdog49 says...

Ok, this might sound like I'm being really picky, and I'll freely admit before I go any further that this is just way, way beyond anything I could ever make. But when we see it running at the end there seems to be a lot of play in the blue gear that's marked with the months, which just doesn't look right. Is it supposed to do this?

Phillip Island Sealife Really Likes Fishing Boat

robbersdog49 says...

Dolphins will come over to boats just to play with them, I've seen it quite a bit when sailing in waters with dolphins. Seals less so, but they still have that mammalian curiosity. I think the whale was just dumb luck though! What a fantastic couple of minutes

All those predators are probably used to following fishing boats to pick up fish that escape from nets.

Still pretty cool though.

Guy from the future sings in a way you've never heard before

I have no idea which performance came first but he's either gone way up in the world or way, way down! I'm hoping this came first and he's not fallen from grace as it were...

Grabbing Feet On The Freeway

He moved straight over into his lane again as he touched her foot. Any reaction would have been after he moved and he'd be clear.

Also, if your reaction to a surprise when you're on a road like that is to violently swerve you really, really shouldn't have a license...

Yeah, great idea. Girl in the back screams, daddy swerves.

Crow pizza!

I mean, great idea if you're a crow... not such a good idea for the motorcyclist.

Conor McGregor vs The Mountain

robbersdog49 says...

I really doubt that. If they were having a real fight I'd bet on the trained fighter (above a certain level of training anyway). Size isn't as important in fighting like this as technique.

If the little fella can take him to the floor in a grapple I think it would be game over for the mountain. Just being able to squeeze hard wouldn't be enough, and an arm or leg in the right place would give the little guy the leverage he'd need to overcome the strength.

Plus, in a real fight I'm guessing there'd be a hail of punches like hammers from McGregor. The mountain is big, but one good punch in the right place and he'll drop the same as anyone.

He could probably lie down, let Connor put an arm bar on him, and still just break the arm bar and get up.

Conor McGregor vs The Mountain

Can't work out if they're supposed to be fighting each other, dancing, tickling each other? Weird.

There's no intent from either of them. When Björnsson get hold of hi at 15 seconds in he just does nothing and then lets go.

Solving By Using 'Extreme Case' Puzzles With Physics Girl

robbersdog49 says...

Genius! Make it water and the wood floats. (Same effect as mine but feels a lot more relevant to the question).

The extreme case I thought of here wasn't about the balloon, it was about the air. Imagine the air was a lot denser... like water, or jelly.

I wasn't familiar with the term 'extreme cases' but use this all the time when making logical arguments, and think of it as exaggeration to help illustrate a point.

Unfortunately, while I think it makes it easier for me to visualize the point, people are often blinded by the comical nature of the exaggeration

"What do you mean if there were 10 zillion Chinese people on the island of Malta and 3 Brits had the Americas to themselves? The world should still learn English!"

(Someone trying to argue that even if Chinese was predominant, English would still be used in a larger geographical area, and me attempting to use exaggeration to illustrate that it's besides the point).
