He wasn't wrong though. These episodes were made just 2002 or so. Optical media still flourished afterwards with the introduction of bluray and hd-dvd. Games were still released on physical media well into the 2010s. Only in the mid 2010s did optical drives start to die out, that is a decade after his predictions! And that's not even talking about movies. Hell, both the latest console generations, the xbox series x and playstation 5 still have a bluray drive in them, two decades after prediction.

Ah, the one that took Adam's eyebrow away. Classic. I also like when Jamie says, "I don't know how fast it is, but it's awful fast"

I have a funny little story regarding the CD part of this episode. Back in college, CD burning was just taking off and due to a lack of internet access back then, I was able to burn a CD to take work home in some classes. On one particular day, I'd just set some projects to copy to a CD when the PC crashed. When rebooting, the disc drive spun up before loading Windows, and it just kept going faster and faster. Much faster than it normally would at max read speed, so much so it started sounding like a powerful gym fan. CD-Rs were not cheap at that point in time, so I passed my disc to a classmate to check to see if it was still usable and assuming the crash broke something about the drive of the PC I was on, but then his drive spun up to a ridiculous speed too. It then got passed along the desk again and the third PC did the same thing. So somehow I'd created a blank disc that caused drives to go as fast as they could go, beyond what they were supposed to. Curious, I put the CD in a little portable CD player I had. It also revved up to go much faster than it should, although it was much slower than the PC drives. Catching wind of this, a friend wanted to try it in his big Hi-Fi system. I took it to his house and he put it in the system, which could hold five discs at once. It took, began going faster than it ever should. Unlike me, who would fairly quickly stop the disc and take it out of the drive, he didn't. He just left it in. It must have only been about a minute, but the disc finally did shatter, jamming up the Hi-Fi's drive resulting in an over priced repair job to extract all the bits of disc. I've since tried to replicate the disc again, but cancelling a burn right as it starts or just shutting the PC off doesn't seem to have worked. I've always ended up with an unusable disc. Would love to know what exactly happened to cause it to be cursed like that, and why seemingly any drive would freak out trying to read it.

Interesting video. The cell phone thingie is truly one of the sillier myths to have made it across the pond from the U.S. (alongside the infamous "pets in microwaves"). Nowadays, even here in Europe, we are warned about cell phones at gas pumps because of it. However, the reason for this ban comes with a little twist here: We are told that the risk is actually not the cell phone but the lithium-ion battery built into it. They say that - in theory - if the phone would accidentally be dropped, chances are that it could crash near some gas fumes on the ground. It is allegedly feared that the heat from the combustion of a broken lithium-ion battery (which is surprisingly high) could ignite these fumes. However, I have no idea whether THIS myth has been busted yet. And I'm not as daring as you guys to find it out the fiery way. 😅

the early seasons are a gem :V

As a IT technician I've seen and have had both CD's and DVD's explode in drives. It's typically the cheap no brand disks that fail and not the branded ones as they are made from cheaper low quality materials.

26:44 Adam's re-creation of the famous "anything more than a handful is a waste" scene from "Weird Science". :P :D

Years later returning to season 1 and I had no idea that they had a folklorist to explain the myth to the audience. I wonder how long she was a part of the show

Interestingly, my dad had a cd "explode" in his computer while he was installing (I think Windows 95) at the time. Being very young at the time, I don't remember much. There was suddenly a loud bang, and the cd-drive didn't open anymore. Not even when trying to force it open. I went with my dad to the computer repair shop, and I remember them shaking the drive and cd particles coming out. Never had anything like that happen ever again after

15:52 : "Am im missing an Eyebrow?"😂

What still bugs me to this day about the implant myth is that it dates back to the 70s, around the time when a different kind of implant was introduced that had silicone with a biodegradeable polyurethane foam coating. Considering the timing, it isn't a stretch to think the foam coated implants is what caused the kind of effect from the myth. Not a pure silicone implant.

I've gotten some hard shocks getting in and out of my vehicle, especially during winter when it's cold and dry.

Yes, we’re getting the early seasons!

9:57 I wish they used “Jamie Wants Big Boom!” as a callback more often 🙂

Jaime: "Any day we create that much shrapnel is a good day!" Damn straight! 👍😎

i like when they actually show them going to the store and buying the parts they need.

Ah yes, my childhood episode

Many self serve gas stations have removed the coils and holding clips off of the pump nozzles, reqiuiring the customer to stand and hold the nozzle while fueling.

The best of mythbusters: the early, raw episodes.

Back when America was still grating before Winchester disks, hard disk platters were exposed to air and disk heads popped out over the platters. You could, when screwing in a removable disk pack, see it was enclosed in armor. A head crash could throw heads out like bullets.

The early episodes are so good. I don't hate the side-kicks, but this pacing was much better imo.

The NEW "high speed disc drives" ! Lol

In some European countries, like the Netherlands, the little pin to let the flow from the nozzle continue, is disabled. You have to keep and squeeze the nozzle until you're finished. This prevents people from going back in the car and getting static. I never realized this was the actual reason until i saw this episode.

Talk about a blast from the past 😅

The videos showing the static electricity igniting the gas appear to be older vehicles that probably don't have on-board vapor recovery systems (or earliest versions at best) and the nozzles don't seem to be the latest in vapor recovery technology either. Wonder if that would make a difference.

It’s a real issue, CD and DVD can explode in a CD drives but the CD must be exposed to sunlight or some solvent fumes for a long time. It’s a issue mainly seen with old CD‘s, I’ve seen it happen on notebooks, PC‘s, game consoles, DVD and BlueRay Players the only exception seems to be audio CDs cause they generally don’t need high rpm’s to play music. I can tell it just by the damage in the drives. What all the disks seem to have in common in that they are old and got spun up to read data and instantly flew in to pieces. I had a old Dell Recovery disk explode inside a old server that thing was laying around on top of the slightly warm rack for over a decade bevor it was finally needed and failed.

Super surprised to find out Adam was married to a lovely woman with kids. Was super expecting a bear to be his mate.

FWIW, it was discovered by hams and cbers in the early days of electronic fuel pumps, that keying the mic would stop the fuel counter - this rapidly led to the bans worldwide For obvious reasons, oil companies don't want to say WHY they're banned. In some circumstamces it's possible to draw a spark when keying a large ham transmitter (25W) but mobile phones are 300mW at most and even the old analog ones were 3W maximum (they'll dynamically dial the power down to "minimum required to do the job") In europe, the statistically most common cause of fuelling station fires is people pulling up to the pumps with their engine on fire, then running to the kiosk for assistance

A decade later and Seagate has announced TB optical drives which is running way past x52

People are touching the nozzle while it's pumping fuel into the tank displacing air and shooting out vapor. that's where the spark needs to be

I like these old shows. Its like digital time travel

Ooh. A truly early one.

I remember bags of crisps rising like footballs when I went skiing at Big Bear Lake

The one problem i had with the cell phone/fire myth is that its an old myth going back to car phone days, back then it could have been a full 5 watt analog signal when the phone was answered completing a full duplex connection. An unanswered phone is not transmitting anything.. not that i think it would have made a big difference but they didn't execute it properly

Lol can't believe that guy didn't predict discs are extinct. Everyone should've guessed that.

Oh man early Jamie and adam are kinda funny. "Do you wanna go all the way?"

People have been getting sex reassignment surgeries for over 100 years now. People have expressed behavior associated with gender dysphoria since the year 200. Surgeries changing the genitals have been done possibly as early as the second century. The surgeries we have are only available as they are today because homosexual people in South Africa were forced to take the surgery, which furthered it's research. It would have been done for much longer if it was considered viable. It only looks like a big deal now because people who do have those feelings are more comfortable talking about them, and your government needs a new boogeyman to blame for the fall of your country, where in reality it's your incompetent, greedy and corrupt leaders and system.

Some plastic batches are more brittle than others or aged to become more brittle. One thing I'm disappointed that they didn't try was uneven discs.
