      Oh absolutely, his Wikipedia page is a trip if you’ve never read it. For instance we have this lovely excerpt near the top of the page:

      At an early age, his father showed him how to make a Molotov cocktail. Later, he accidentally set part of his house on fire with a homemade flamethrower. When he was 19, he was nearly arrested for setting off a homemade pipe bomb near his parents’ home in Seaside, California.

        … Is it bad that all of that sounds so absolutely normal to me?

        Small southern coal mining town. Homemade flamethrowers and explosives were right up there with throwing empty beer bottles down at the railroad tracks for killing time.

        I don’t know how none of us died. I think the worst was the rampant teen pregnancy, and one dude losing eyesight in one eye after getting shot in the face with a paintball gun. And one kid getting his hand caught in a stone crusher in the Masonry class.

          I mean you said it yourself, if you’re surprised that nobody died, it’s certified red shirt status 😉

    Less competency porn and more strapping a warp core to a photon torpedo in an attempt to make a black hole 😂 I’d still binge it

        Who?

        /s… I liked Jessi. They were missing the mechanic dynamic after she left the show.

          She also died trying to break the land speed record. And she succeeded. At 522mph in a jet powered car, the front wheel failed and she went up in a fiery crash on the Alvord Desert in Oregon.

          At the risk of romanticizing her death, it does feel poetic that her last act was to push the limits of woman, machine, and physics.

          She was passionate about science to the end. I’d say godspeed, but even god had trouble keeping up.

    Which is why there is no longer a starship Enterprise or Myth Busters in space… the craft and crew were lost during an episode to bust the myth whether or not they could time travel by sling-shooting around the sun.

    They went to the sun at maximum speed and were never heard from again.

        Huh, I dunno how I never saw that. I guess that’s what the line in the Mythbusters ERB is referencing.

        https://youtu.be/w0pnTm-KK9k?t=90 - At about 1 minute and 30 seconds in they use that line

          I think its a reference to the mythbusters quote “i reject your reality and substitute my own”, but idk if epic rap battle did anything with it
