The sewing machine blew my mind. I always wondered how that worked!

Dig that jaunty little Sailor just standing around all casual.

That undersea cable has careless amounts of slack.

A gun; a grenade.

I understood everything but sowing machine. What witch craft is this?
Adamisonecoolguy
Im genuinely curious. If i hold a grenade upside-down, will it not explode? ( #4 )
linkator
You can see a spring pushing the mechanism, so my guess would be that it works if the spring gives enough stentgh to counter gravity.

#1 and #6, you misspelled "freedom dispenser"

I always assumed that when cables were laid it was more erotic.

Hey that's pretty good

When seeing the gun battery loading system, all I could think of was Under Siege.

whats that?

I wanna know why the shell is squished in such an odd shape
VaarsuviusII
The cutout isn't triangular shaped. It's some oddly shaped weird thing that only goes about halfway up the projectile.
CarrotSharpener
#1 There seems to be no mechanical reason for that shell casing to fly out like that.
psuedon
It's not showing the impact of the recoil. This is known as a mistake
ArgonSpark
Inertia. The extractor pulls the casing from the top or side then hits the ejector on the bottom, off center, which throws the casing.
mostdefinatelynotgoingtorememberthis
As it's pulled back it hits the extractor as seen in here: http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/lZJ1HMMXl8gvyjU3jyMnCQ294284/GW441H330
SomewhereBetweenTheSacredSilenceAndSleep
Yeah, it's almost like its moving slower than a real gun or something. No reason the casing should move if the speed is a 100 times that
CarrotSharpener
There's still no reason depicted for that to happen, at least not in a way that's reliable and predictable.

#8 was proven bullshit

If it were true, we would see the planets travel across the sky always perpendicular to the stars in the milky way.

The below article says the videos do have some truth to them. But many of the details are wrong.

That was wonderful. Thank you.

It's also incredibly wrong, sorry. Someone posted a link.
SomewhereBetweenTheSacredSilenceAndSleep
That's a solar system, the universe is an entirely different thing.

No problem! I quite like bad astronomy, it's a great blog for explaining all things astro (apart from -ology) in an easy to understand way
