  1. I have known the balloon and ping pong ball reasons for decades, but this is the first time I've seen the proof demonstrated with a practical experiment instead of just the math and diagrams. Thanks, Mark!

  2. Or a challenge where they both get a Simone Gertz "One Piece Missing" plain white jigsaw puzzle.

  3. 11:00 - I see a pawn shop that should be having some "special" police attention!

  4. Well, the police won't do anything, because there's no revenue in it for the department. Much more important to issue parking tickets, window tint tickets, speeding tickets, tickets, tickets, tickets... Oh, and let us not forget civil asset forfeiture!

  5. Too bad Mark couldn't enlist his backyard squirrels to help out.

  6. Yeah, the ones that get mad when they find out they didn't steal some 'sick headphones, bro' make we and to get a chainsaw and do some massacres. If such WERE to happen to some enterprising porch pirates, my previous sentence was purely hypothetical. But I will giggle myself to a peaceful night's sleep.

  7. Seriously!

  8. Yeah... Arcades don't want a "no backpacks" rule as much as they want a "no Mark Rober" rule.

  9. You: Goes to jail, a hero.

  10. "Found you!" (lick)* - *Do not do this as a human.

  11. Then buy a large stuffed animal online, have your friend toss it to you over the fence, and walk around the carnival with it.

  12.  @jacobcrist3080  By the sender, actually. But you have to may more to send it with a signature requirement. It's more secure to get a post office box, though much less convenient.

  13.  @myrontedrow6134  Which is why aircraft carriers try to head into the wind at speed before launching winged aircraft. That is how Jimmy Doolittle's B-25s were able to take off from USS Hornet in less than the length of the flight deck.

  14. This is how it sometimes works with USPS (US Postal Service). But if the package is small/light, and your route is not a walking-only route, then USPS will sometimes leave the package. UPS and Fed-Ex will just leave the package unless you have the sender require a signature upon receipt. The USPS will also not drop off a package that requires signature.

  15. I'm leaning toward, "Weird, where's Dave these days?"

  16. Mark disguise was very "If Kyle Hill let his grooming standard drop for a half a year."

  17. The big thing I learned in this video is that the "running through a stream" actually helps the dog, not the runner. This is going to inform my TTRPG plots!

  19. Oh, to finally grow up enough to have the childhood you always wanted!

  20. I think the hidden secret method is to bring a large (dry) towel, no metaphor, from the house with you to wipe the window(s) down as you start the defog procedure. - If, like me, you love where actual ice falls out of the air in the winter, the defogging is usually done by the time you finished brushing and/or scraping the outsides of the windows. And clean off ALL the windows and lights and license plates, and clear large amounts of snow from your whole car. Don't get a ticket and an extra twenty minutes pulled over during your commute because you were in a hurry or lazy (or both).

  21. Claymore mines. What?

  22.  @AlechiaTheWitch  He has a tool to use induction to melt a lock shackle, the ice cream container is not safe.

  23. I know, like they can't comprehend being punished for stealing. It's like parenting died about 30 years ago.

  25. At the discovery of the unbroken eggs, I was grinning like a kid (a time period two score or so years behind me) with happiness.

  26.  @ashleyhall1185  Oh, I'd visit there... armed and willing to go to jail to at least make a tiny dent in the problem.

  27.  @JODRecaps  I hope you get ALL of your packages stolen by porch pirates who then get run over by a parade of steam rollers, taking your packages with them. Your spamming is THAT irritating.

  28. Glitter is evil. It already gets everywhere and stays there forever. it's worse than anti-Jedi sand!

  29. Also, FAT TAIL!!!!!!

  30.  @moonbounce17  If it was supposed to be signature only, I would have told them is didn't arrive, and make the shipper replace it. Then I would "magically find" the original package and send it back with my "sincere" apologies for the shippers screw-up.

  31. Imagine if all police actually treated the problem as a serious crime? Mark would need to find a new December 'thing'.

  32. We need more scientists like Salk instead of the pharmaceutical corporations we have now.

  33. When some people are accused of blowing their own horn, it's a bad thing... Also, props to Portal for the ability to turn off the camera and mic with a single easily accessible button push, and HUGE props for the 'analog solution'

  34. Ooh! Replace the glitter in the next set of glitter bombs with bed bugs! "Accidentally"

  38. Just not worth their (police) time to look into? Police need to be reminded they work FOR US!

  39.  @grqfes  Oh gosh, ask all of the departments that have police and other (often frivolous) equipment thanks to "equitable sharing" programs when they turn over seized assets to federal authorities. See: new cruisers, military-grade gear and vehicles, coffee machines, daquiri makers, and slush funds for untracked spending. I am not making any of that up.

  40. When I used to go to arcades, my only goal was to run out of time and quarters/tokens at about the same time.

  41. Proof that Mark Rober is a secret NASA project to make new NASA scientists!!!

  42.  @edmund8954  Doesn't need to be four phones. It can be 4 digital video camera modules and a Bluetooth transmitter.

  44. Palmer Luckey is a nerd, confirmed! His company is "Flame of the West" in Quenya.

  45.  @chipmonkey7266  Tear gas? I guess. But compound B launching tiny sharp-edged fragments of metal at super-sonic speeds would be SO satisfying. And a felony.

  46. Roll that beautiful bean volcano!

  47. These scammers, the mules, and their bosses have earned drawing and quartering. That is my carefully considered opinion.

  48. The dummy or training grenades they are using no longer have the spring inside that usually flings the spoon (the lever) off when you let go. So he had to pull it off by hand.

  49. Seen Hamlet?

  50. So basically, never play the games where you shoot out the star or toss a ring on bottles. The rest you at least have a chance, and some you can skill into. - And don't expect to win, just be happy when you do.
