Basically a video game streamer payed Guinness to certify his “most stair blocks stacked diagonally in 30 seconds” record (17 or so?). ibxtoycat, being a dedicated Minecraft player, easily beat it by 4 and submitted the video to Guiness’s free record update queue; shockingly it didn’t get updated.

    Are they sure the rope in that tug of war one never broke the sound barrier? The sound of a whip cracking is literally caused by the movement of the whip breaking the sound barrier and causing a miniature sonic boom, so if a rope breaking causes a loud crack, it's not exactly unlikely that the same thing is happening there...

    • @pioneercynthia1
      @pioneercynthia1 Місяць тому +2

      A whip can break the sound barrier because it's tapered. You can impart a lot of energy into that wave, and it gets funneled down to a very small mass at the tip. High energy and small mass means high velocity. It's unlikely a constant diameter rope would break in a way to produce the same effect.

They lowered a rope in but he was too badly burned at that point to hold on. The fun thing about boiling water is that it isn't hot enough to destroy pain neurons like how fire can, so you fully feel everything the entire time.

It's not just because Jesse is known by a lot of us but also that speed records are a legitimate engineering and technological challenge. I don't see it the same as any of the silly stuff. Are we going to start counting mountaineers, astronauts etc and anyone else who braves the limits of what people can achieve as Darwin awards?

The person got stuck because he passed the point where he could back out; the others with him safely exited. He thought he was heading for an open space to turn around. Many tried to pull him out to no avail. He tragically passed away from heart failure, I think. The cave was permanently sealed soon thereafter.
