Horrible abuse of valuable technology

Yeah, but Will it Blend started from them actually testing their blenders by demolishing 4x2s and then the guys deciding that throwing a video of it on YouTube would be fun and interesting. There is a point to the videos which is that the blenders are apparently indestructible. Sure, they bait you by blending things you never want to see blended, but the point gets made. Crushing a watch between two magnets? Lots of video views but not clever or demonstrating a point.

You had a sad childhood. :-\
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
Do not confuse the joy of reckless "disassembling" things to understand how they work and just hammering things to break them. Not really, there was a lot of things to destroy in order to build and construct new things.
I'd rather be phishing!

Morons on a high scale. People who take joy at destroying stuff for the sake of destroying stuff "just because" are only morons. There is no value at all in this experiment. :~

I've had great fun with my kids and fire-crackers and magnifying glasses. "Let's see what happens if..." Sometimes there is great joy derived in a bit of senseless destruction. Mind you, my price tag for the article being destroyed is usually $1.49 or less.

$10,000 Gold Apple Watch Edition Crushed By Magnets [^] Watching those neodymium magnets spall on impact was just heart breaking. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

The magnets were not destroyed so what valuable technology was abused? :-\

Pause about 2;15 in. You can see part of the top edge of the right magnet shattered off and is stuck to the top right and bottom left corners of the left magnet. Neodymium magnets are brittle and tend to crack/spall when abused.

I thought I'd fixed that here a year or so ago (after finding an alternate translation).

Perhaps the notion that in order to be called a "man" one must destroy things, and perhaps enjoy that destruction, for no reason other than the destruction itself? It is their money, and they're free to do with it what they will, even unto destroying it. And I am free to call them complete and utter morons for doing so.
