Miss this guy
Are u saying kale is a killer?. I can’t argue with that one. Kale tastes gross.
this vid was made before covid i am not even an adult and yet i feel so old
What about antimatter?
Poor crabs. Delta pressure sucks.
My bad I got lost in space 5:26 Pls send help
Saying thank you so much Adam at the end messed me up…. Thank you for making me think I’m insane.
It's cool being a barely Type-I civilization but having understanding of Type II feats. Hope we level up
moral of the story: your not goku dont wear 308 pounds every day
1-Doctor Manhattan was tricked into thinking that he caused cancer 2-He's blue cuz he emits electrons which is how they tracked him in doomsday clock by tracing them like bread crumbs
For the bomber one, couldn't it also be less that they just drop the bombs and more that they force them down in which case they'd continue at their speed in a vacuum anyway until they hit something or lose energy over time due to radiation and such? Still a terrible design though but that goes for everything Star Wars tbh. Real space combat would be nothing like this
I heard the argument about the air or whatever you are displacing at your destination which could at best be a bit of a woosh noise and at worst a explosion 100.000 times stronger than the little boy atomic bomb
Okay, but he's not going to talk about Dragonball's teleportation?
I WANT TELAPORTATESHN NOW!
Numenorians and Siths: *angry noises
We need Samson-like Superstrength which only comes to you when you wishes
I have learned too much
I would still take the average 9000 years even if it meant losing everyone you care about time and time again. You can still see and experience so much more than you will eventually lose.
11:38 when you hear basic limitations due to physic laws like this you realize that the Fermi paradox might not be so much of a paradox after all
Where did this guy go he just dropped outta nowhere years ago ?
There are radio active spiders in Chernobyl
"That would be pretty RAD"... I see what you did there. Nice.
Bro let me dream of something would you.. you keep debunking my dreams to have super powers.. let is slide bruh 💀
The 2 factors that prevent me from flying is that my neck really hurts from holding it in that position (I've had 2 neck surgeries). Secondly, I really hate being so conspicuous and calling attention to myself.
The Fly put me off the idea indefinitely.
Ninja run is not abt speed, but energy conservation, in particular the arms.
Ahh so it's exactly how omni man puts marks face through a train as it drives by.... so many people died....
Wouldn't it assume you have required secondary powers/abilities to complement your flying ability?
Ugh i yawned like 5 times during this video 😂
The sandworm that Paul called during his trial was a league long. That's about 3 miles!!
Something I don’t get with these videos: even if the power is weaker than you thought why would that make it a bad power? 1: Why would you need to go high enough for temeprature and oxygen to actually be a problem. 2: If going too fast too high is bad just stay at like 100 mph 300 ft high up or something, that’s still enough to cross central park in like half a minute. Imagine someone gets blessed with a super power and complains about it not making him a god. My point is that you should really change the titles to ”isn’t as good as you think” instead of ”you don’t want”, because even if you would only be able to go 20 mph & 20 ft above ground that would still be cool.
i didnt get the whole local velocity thing maybe because i didnt understand a single movie reference or i was ignorant to a whole physics topics all my life
Not to metion that unless you have super endurance like superman you would break yoru bones just touching stuff, because you’re still technically going thousands of mph, you would when you open a door technically slam your hand into the door knob faster than the speed of sound
12:05 I know it’s boring but still gonna take it
the sandworms eat the sand the poop it out behind
But what if homeboi clenched??? Then what happens?? 🤔
I got 12s for the first one, 14s for the second one. Given practice, repetition, I could increase this, but yeah I agree 100% multi-tasking doesnt exist. You CAN do repetitive, mindless, basic actions while focusing on something else. But try explaining something intricate and also write/type another thing entirely different. You'll actually notice your brain swapping between priorities. Example, try to speed draw something, or write speed write a poem.. and at the same time, read the ingredients of peanut butter to someone.
asking for some ones help, if i were to make an 8ft long by 3in wide replica of a real sand swimming dune sand worm?🤔 thanks!!
Soleil's The Master Inquisitors have sword wielding sorcerers with similar powers - Inquisitor Habner has Gambit's mutant power.
The power of teleportation beats the power of flight any day. Stephen Gould's Jumper novels says it all.
Be a bigger T rex
so... laser weaponry could be defensively blocked/diffused by bursts of water around a craft? 🤔
What a complicated process!
so the hair thing is the most logical part of super saian which is ironically most trolled
I heard many times about Imortality, people mistake it for Indestructibility, the fact that you can't be hurt in any fizical way and are also not aging mentaly or fizicly but is completly wrong, you can't have both Indestructibility and Imortality, those are 2 separated things, if you are Imortal, you don't age but you still can get hurt and it don't means that you heal super fast, if you lose one of your legs, is simply gone, Indestructibility on the other way means that you age normaly but can't be harm by any thing from nuclear bombs to viruses. So a Perfect Imortality will be that if you don't age, can't die, if you get hurt than heal 5 times faster than a normal human and don't feel any pain
"single digit reaction time" Nice.
Heh, I swallowed a marble as a kid. Maybe 2 or 3. They make a weird noise/vibration when you rub them together and I liked putting them in my mouth and making the sound vibrate my skull. It felt cool. It was the 80's, so choking hazards were an alien concept. My mom was more worried about me swallowing one, and kept warning me that I would. And sure enough, I did. She kind of panicked and took me to a doctor who said to just keep an eye out for it. Which meant sifting through my poop with a litter box pooper scooper for 2 weeks. It never did turn up. For all I know it's still in there.
No, you've got it all wrong. Energy from a phaser acts much like napalm. Once the energy contacts a body, the energy begins to consume the matter into energy. Instead of expanding, the reaction becomes less energetic as the matter is consumed and exhausted.
Dude... Amos coming in at the end, absolute gold.
Being unable to see your own body is a challenge to proprioception, but it does not eliminate it. As any functional person with significant visual challenges (e.g. blindness) can tell you, there are other senses and ways to approach it.
