every day i wake up and remember steve quite literally asked bucky to kill him. like he actually told bucky to finish it because he was with him until the end. he acknowledged it was the end. he stopped fighting back for the first time in his life. he finally threw the shield down after years of doubting his purpose as captain america because he didn’t want to have to hurt bucky. he begged bucky to not make him have to fight him at all because he couldn’t let people die but as soon as he’d saved everyone else he gave up on himself and was planning on going down on the helicarrier with bucky. he freed bucky from being trapped under the wreckage even though he knew bucky was still going to try and kill him. he decided he’d rather let himself die at bucky’s hands than live in a world where bucky didn’t remember him. like. what the hell.
That shield was meant to protect Bucky, not to hurt him.
The worst invention of late stage capitalism is the screen on the gas pump that plays video ads at you. The best invention of late stage capitalism is the coke freestyle machine.
I think I experienced a worse one a couple weeks ago. Was on a flight, had one of those screens in the back of the seat… except it wasn’t for in flight entertainment. It was for ads. And you couldn’t turn off the screen either. So I’m trying to sleep on this red eye flight with a flashing screen 1 foot from my face.
if you had hijacked the plane because of that no jury in the world would have convicted you
mythbusters was so good because it wasn’t a killjoy show. they didn’t just say “see, it doesn’t work” and leave it there
whenever they find that the stunt doesn’t work as portrayed in the movie, they immediately ask “what would it take to make this happen?”
“we know it takes this amount of explosives to work, but what if we doubled it anyway?”
Some myths I’ll always remember:
* Are elephants scared of mice? (They only did that because they were in Africa and had access to elephants.)
* Will a bull run amok in a china shop?
* Is it better to run zig-zag or straight when chased by an alligator?
I love these because NONE of them turned out the way they expected. They went into all three with pre-conceived ideas of how it would go, and each time they “failed.” Elephants WILL cower from mice. A bull moves very gingerly through a china shop. It doesn’t matter how you run because ALLIGATORS WON’T CHASE YOU.
And each time, they reacted with just… pure glee. “Holy shit, we were wrong! Oh my god! This is great! We were so wrong!”
And that, to me, is what science is. Being excited about being wrong because either way it’s information.
