That sounds about right for Mythbusters.

- Blendo was put together before Mythbusters was a thing - Blendo was so strong and dangerous (for throwing debris into the audience) that The Boys were asked to withdraw it in exchange for a co champion title - they re-entered Blendo years later when the protective wall was much higher. It was once again asked to be withdrawn for a co champion title for the same reason. - copy cat Blendos started appearing and would tear each other apart - Blendo is in the robot hall of fame - Blendo is too strong and powerful

Blendo cannot be stopped.

bonus fact: grant imahara also had a competitive robot named deadblow that would just fucking. hammer the shit out of other robots

fun fact shared by Adam Savage:

NSync was touring the ILM workshop (during the making of the Star Wars prequels). The model makers were used to big name visitors and had been told not to interact with the guests.

NSync (without Timberlake at the time) were admiring the models when suddenly they shouted “DEADBLOW!!” when they saw the robot in the workshop, and then they saw Grant, and proceeded to lose their collective minds. They were all fans of Battlebots and took pics with him.

NSync, one of the biggest boybands of the 90s, fanboyed over Grant Imahara.

Grant was a judge on Battlebots in 2018. Two years later, Battlebots renamed the Best Design Award in honor of him, and it is now called the Grant Imahara Award for Best Design. His legacy lives on.

We forgot about it

I once signed up to participate in a study on how depression affects memory, forgot I was meant to go do it, and when I emailed to apologise to the PhD student running it she basically told me that a) she was very used to this happening and b) the weird irony of her theories’ correctness making it very difficult to arrange proving them had by now gone from infuriating to hysterical

I went to the Grand Canyon when I was depressed and I literally forgot the whole thing. Like, the only reason I even know I was there is that I have photographs of myself standing in front of the Grand Canyon with dead eyes but i have absolutely no memory of it

People talk about depression like it’s just being sad all the time but straight up your brain stops working and sadness is just one of the many, many consequences of that

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

I feel like people don't understand what fetishization really means & it has a lot of well intentioned lefty types like afraid of being attracted to people

Like you're allowed to be attracted to marginalized people lol ... you're allowed actively think certain traits they have are beautiful. You can even think they're hot. This isn't inherently objectifying. As long as you're treating them like people it's fine. You don't have to like, pretend you don't know what somebody looks like lest your attraction be Problematic

Remember: sexual attraction in itself is morally neutral. And my crazy take is that if you're respectful about it it's actually cool and good to find beauty in different kinds of people & being horny about it doesn't negate that. Peace and love on planet earth
