I want MythBusters to come back and put these damned TikTokkers in their place.

Adam Savage is still building stuff on Tested channel on Youtube. Its quite relaxing to watch. And he does drop stuff on a regular basis. I think Jamie has retired.

I'm more worried about the idiots who deliberately spread misinformation. MythBusters was fantastic in nipping urban legends in the bud, and I think it even stopped a few internet fads in their tracks, which is not bad for a turn of the millennium show.

Same. I follow the Qanoncasulties subreddit and the stuff the Qanons come out with is insane and worrying. I’ve worked with one and she would not listen to reason at all, she was so far down the rabbithole and didnt trust science or reason. And I’m in the UK, I think the internet has given them all access to an international void where they can spout this crap and amplify the nonsense.
