The 2014 film? That was so rubbish. Some people, allegedly, say it's the smartest film to ever smart. Or, at least it was supposedly marketed as a smart film. Going by this video's theme, it was not quite hacking, but even if we were to accept this unlocking 100% of your brain, just because you can learn fast does not mean the computers work faster. There was this specific scene where there was like windows popping up and closing rapidly fast. And, it's not like it was the only stupid thing about the film. It's like the filmmakers used only 10% of their brain. Bada boom. Simon does not watch films, but maybe Sam should watch it while recovering, and explain it to Simon.
My favorite unrealistic movie trope is a simple one: People stepping into a shower and turning on the water to instantly let it cascade over them, usually in slow motion and set to music. In every shower I have ever been in, the water initially comes out ice cold, and needs a moment to warm up to an acceptable temperature.
Growing up with spring-water from the mountains, I often wondered as a kid at the marvel of "city water"... It's not just icy cold in the first instants of water flow in our shower (even today) but SUICIDALLY frigid for around two full minutes! THEN while I was in the Navy, I got to live in cities... and the wonder wore out shortly... It wasn't quite so horribly cold in the first moments, and it took less than a minute on average to reach "hot" in relative terms. However, it certainly didn't start instantly at any degree of warm what so ever... AND at that, I fully understood what had been preached throughout my formative years from just about every adult ever... "If you see it on a screen, it's at least 90% bullshit." The other 10%, you should research on your own and verify before repeating... ;o)
my fav unrealistic TV trope- no one says 'goodbye' when they have a phone conversation. Instead, they rattle off all pertinent info and then just hang up. Try that in real life- you will get a call back in about a min with the person on the other end telling you they just got randomly disconnected.
Yes! Another: In so many TV shows, drivers just 'hop' into the car, start and zoom off -- Without getting keys from their pocket or putting on seatbelts.
Or when there is a computer screen with text that appears with a accompanying beep beep sound. That never happens in real life. Computers just don’t make that sound!
One movie that got hacking right was Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. What they showed on the computer screen was her typing actual SQL like you do when you're querying a database... As soon as I realized that I could actually read her queries and that they seemed at a glance to be correct, my respect for the filmmakers definitely went up.
@@Chris.Pontius Especially when you realize that Mr. Robot is told pretty much entirely from the perspectives of various unreliable narrators which is a great cover for a lot of "not quite right" things.
The Matrix series also gets it right in at least one scene - they use a port scanner to find a vulnerable SSH server, then use the SSH1 CRC32 attack against it.
My favorite demonstration of how ridiculous it is to use air ducts to enter a building was on Mythbusters. I absolutely loved the scene with Jamie's contraption. I think Adam summarized it best when he said "Thor, the god of thunder is trying to enter my building".
@@Juicewski2 I believe it's part of the semi racism/camraderie that pervades the grouping of classic states that have conquered and warred incessantly but also love/hate each other. Sweden/Nederland/Finland/Switzerland/Norway. The "Nordic wars" I call them. Out of the fiveish groups the Dutch are known as the cheapy and take things too serious types(I THINK)also I believe they get made fun of that their accent and language is "silliest" among them. Although even they(all) admit any anglophone would probably be "they all sound like the Swedish chef to me"
Ironically enough probably the most realistic part of Matrix Reloaded was a "hacking scene", involving a reasonably realistic network port scan and a known SSH (remote access) security exploit. Maybe it was even the most realistic hacking scene on any high-budget movie...
TLDR: I have died inside. That scene has some interesting implications. Since the matrix is simulating 1999 is she aware of the vulnerability in SSH because in the real world that vulnerability was fixed in SSH2 but in the matrix SSH2 isn't released yet? Are the machines guiding technological growth to follow the same path in the matrix as it did in reality? If so, why? Because they just keep resetting the simulation every hundred years or so anyway so what difference does it make? Is there actually no such thing as SSH in the real world but only in the matrix, or maybe is it just less computationally intensive to only simulate technologies (and protocols) that exist in the real world? Why simulate the world in 1999 instead of simulating, say, 1200? Or the feudal era? Surly the humans would be easier to control in a system with a more rigid hierarchy than it was in 1999, and if you did that then you sure as heck don't have to worry about the different versions of SSH. Is it just because big square buildings are easier to render than little towns? Is that not balanced out by the fact that you have to also simulate all of the computers that exist in the late 20th century that are running things like SSH and also getting updates, patches, and bug fixes like the eventual deprecation of SSH version 1?
@@giga-chicken It makes more sense when you realize the machines aren't the villains. They've been bending over backwards to keep humans around - they were probably trying to produce an iteration of humans that _aren't_ the same suicidal bastards who killed the planet to stop the machines using solar power.
Simon, I have been stuck in an elevator. It also fell about 8 floors I was watering the plants at a client's office, and when I was done, I had to go to another clients office in the same building. I got on the elevator, and it slowly descended three and a half floors. Before I had a chance to react and call for help, there was this large boom and the elevator dropped really fast and really loud. Finally, it stopped. The firemen were already there. I was in shock so they made me lay down for quite a long time. It was scary af. Do not recommend.
I love that Simon just isn’t listening to the words coming out of his own mouth while he’s reading the script. It’s absolutely hilarious when something actually breaks through & he has no idea what’s going on.
Incredible Bullet Dodging Powers trope, where in movies the Hero's aim is perfect and he walked out of a gunfight with nary a scratch, or occasionally a glancing it, while the bad guys are mowed down like chaff to the wind.
Any technology sufficiently advanced..., or so the saying goes. But sci-fi is just as much "pull magic out of your [snip]" as an "honest" magic movie where they say "This is magic."
@@goldenhate6649 Yea to me its mostly fantasy, that's why I've always been star trek/B5 over star wars 😏😅 but they are still a bit "fantastic", the Expanse is good or you need to stick your head in a book for true sci fi imo...
@@EZ-D-FIANT THe problem with sci-fi is it's basically required to be social commentary. Its never escapism. It's always about something. Litteraly the genera to soap box from. Fantasy can be anything at all. Which makes it better. It's not typecast into being "disguised political ranting".
As a nurse, I usually check the medical treatments. The most annoying error for me is when they shock a patient that has flat lined. It does NOT work that way. You must have a shockable rhythm. Flat liners don't come back to life if you shock them. Just---NO!
When I was a kid ER was the big hot show and I could not watch it with my nurse mom... "nope, not real... They wouldn't do that"... Now as an adult in the medical education field, I burn with fire whenever I see the show the resident
@@CDCI3 You are so right about that. But I salute you Lt. Danny of the basement for cranking out those legendary scripts even if it may or may not have been ETA whom took his legs for any alleged escape attempts.

There’s getting to be a lot of references to previous episodes. Pretty soon Simon will just speak like those aliens from Star Trek TNG, who have a language entirely based on references to previous events. It’ll be like “[Company and CEO Name] Theranos technology practices, Gerald Ratner press conference style, Fyre festival, the new home of Billy McFarland.”
Not a heart attack, but I fell into my uncle's pool when I was 4 and almost drowned. My mom didn't believe me for years because it was nothing like how drowning is portrayed in media. Media drowning is a lot of thrashing and screaming. Real life drowning can often be very quiet and hard to notice at first.
True dat. Actual drowning is scary quiet, barely a splash, the victim just slides under the surface & doesn't reappear so that if someone isn't watching them closely already it's very easy to miss. I have several friends who are lifeguards & just casually spotting someone in the process of drowning in the ocean is next-to-impossible.
I think the difference in what prople perceive as drowing. Someone can be 1. Actively drowning(which usually requires your breathing orifices under water). Unless there another factor most people dont fall into water and immediately start drowning. Or 2. Just cant swim so they are trashing and kicking with their arms flailing which may help keep their head above water enough to breath. Eventually either learning how to swim/being saved or then going under and drowning.
I almost drowned when I was a baby. My mom dropped me accidentally in the pool and I was floating down. It’s my earliest memory. I remember looking up at my mom through the surface of the water trying to reach her. She managed to pull me back up immediately and we both were obviously upset. The second time I fell into a family friend’s pond. I didn’t think I was drowning because I knew how to swim. I was 6. But I will say it was a little difficult to swim. Luckily, he heard me scream when I slipped and pulled me out pretty quickly.
I'm now picturing Simon in the theater just casually pulling out a bottle of wine, uncorking it, pulling out the glasses.... To enjoy the next Sonic movie
My neighbor had a heart attack and thought he had indigestion. He ate some Tums, did some stretches, and woke up in a hospital. On a semi-related note my grandfather fell down some stairs a while back and when he went to the hospital the doctors told him he had a stroke. He never noticed anything, he just thought he slipped. People react differently and it can be hard to self diagnose as you don't have access to the right equipment to verify yourself.
Most people who come in with midline pain that we don’t know if it’s chest or stomach we make them drink a “pink lady” it has lidocaine(numbing agent) and pantoloc(anti heart burn med basically) if it’s stomach pain that will make it go away. If it’s chest pain you’ll still be in pain. So we know we need to look deeper for a cardiac cause.
@@sk1ppercat912 That's interesting because when I went to the emergency room for an allergic reaction making my chest and throat hurt, I told them it was an allergic reaction and even told them what caused it, and they still insisted on throwing me into a corner little isolated booth area and suction-cupping or strapping an EKG machine or some smallish box thing to me and then leaving me alone for about half an hour. Luckily my throat didn't close up while they recorded my heart stopping. Idiots. Btw, if I have any details (like the suction cups or whatever) wrong it's because this was like 15 years ago and I don't really remember other than the basic event of going to the ER and not being helped at all. Still got the bill though. 🙄
@@thirteenthandy I’m not sure what your describing. Could’ve definitely been a EKG though. I don’t like to judge another HCPs when I wasn’t there. There may have been something else they saw that made them think heart. That being said we are human and we make mistakes. Clearly you made it out the other side though. So happy to hear that much.

American tipping culture means leaving money on the table is something that happens. My parents will usually work out how much the tip should be, round up to the nearest dollar, then leave that amount on the table. I personally don't do this though since I rarely carry much cash and just pay for everything with plastic.
That is a way less dramatic end of a scene though. Compared to slamming money down and marching out like you are on a mission. Waving a waitress over and calculating the tip% and signing initials...... Would be great for a comedy I suppose
As someone who has experienced both brain damage and a coma from head trauma, can confirm you don't just wake up like ow my head hurts and then go on like nothing happened. I had to do a lot of physical therapy and my speech ability was damaged for several years and never 100% healed. I also have epileptic symptoms due to hippocampal damage, and have nerve damage that almost fully negates my ability to sense cold. And I was eight when it happened which meant I still had a lot of brain plasticity so my brain healed a lot more than an adult's brain would have. Hell, even a mild concussion can put you out of commission for a few days.
I had a mild concussion and it took me over a month to get back to somewhat normal and that was with intense physical therapy. Imagine not being able to shower because you’d fall over when you closed your eyes.
@@ferretyluv I had a string of mild concussions leading up to disability and early retirement. In my shower there are grab bars, but bathing sitting down is safer for me.
It has been a topic of recent discussions that women's heart attacks aren't the same, which hasn't been shoved into medical education systems worldwide yet.
@@Zeverinsen it has now. It ticks me off because it’s so easy to find out if someone may have had a heart attack. They can do an EKG, and a blood test for troponin, a protein that is released into the blood when cardiac muscle cells die. There are more precise tests now that test for a certain type of troponin, troponin T. Someone messed up somewhere for four doctors not to catch a heart attack for that long.
Simon! Love that you're taking singing lessons to protect those golllllllden British pipes! We'd love to team up and hear more about what you've been learning!!! Gonna tweet and email you too, but give us a DM or something, love all your stuff and we'd love to hear more about those singing lessons!
Of course. Has to beg on streets first for doctor money. You honestly think Simon would pay for one to come in? That's a Communist thing lol. Bwahaha poor Sam selling memes on the street corner
Nope, he called a alcoholic horse doctor that only speaks Ukrainian, and actually just gave Sam a prostate exam. He was too drunk to realize Sam isn't a horse.
Well Simon must have filmed himself paying Raid by now. And I had no idea it exists before Simon started ranting about it and I noticed the ads. Before that I had no idea what that ridiculous ad is for. I thought it's a spoof not an actual advert for a game
2 videos about Movies/Hollywood getting facts wrong on the same day ✔ Simon shouting from his belly to save is beautful British voice ✔ Sam we all hope you get better soon!! ❤ Don't let your boss overwork you!! And thank you Simon for letting him out the basement so he could get treated!! 👍🏻😂
But if Simon let him out to be treated, then how does he ensure that Sam won't escape or tell someone of the imprisonment? I would think Simon would know better. Unless of course Simon allowed Danny or Callum to watch youtube videos on the subject hoping for the best.
@@kingjellybean9795 you do know that once you had a procedure-and sam had one judging by the image- the aftertherapy and care is done swiftly? You may wait a few weeks to months to get a procedure done, but then everything is already scheduled to happen for the best outcome. Like you may have a surgery on your arm and once that is done, wait until the wound healed and then start therapy to regain/retrain your muskles/movement. And the waiting before a not emergency procedure is not THAT much longer than in the states...
Also: ALL knives ziinng when you pick them up, including butter knives. Guns tend to 'click' when you point them, no one ever carries one in the chamber: always wait to cock them til the last moment when irl you have that shit ready before you storm in. Cars jump parked cars instead of simply smashing up, cars always explode in accidents, cars explode when you shoot them...so on...and so on
My mom had a heart attack last month. There was no pain in her arm and it happen right after eating so she thought it was bad heart burn. She just had a pain / discomfort in her chest and a headache. So you don't always know it is a heart attack unless it is a major one. The pain in your arm is another one of those badly explained things. Most males will have a pain in their arms, females is is far more rare. So don't try to use that as a gauge for if you are having a heart attack or not.
My favorite scene to hate from CSI was actually on the very first episode I ever watched. It was that mind bendingly stupid breach of commin sense that was the chipped knife mold. He poured silicone molding compound into a knife wound, let it set, and magically pulled out a perfect mold of the murder weapon, complete with a missing tip. Apparently, at least in their version of the world the human chest is actually stuffed with plasticine.
There's an advert in New Zealand where they ask what a heart attack looks like with people in front of a camera in a mall portraying 'tv' symptoms and they don't point out until the end a man sitting on a bench in the background slowly struggling and eventually getting help.
In movies, when characters are done conversing on the phone, they never say... "OK! I gotta run!" or "bye," or "see ya" or anything! They just hang up seemingly mid conversation! I guess the single second it takes to say "bye" would interrupt the "flow" or the brilliance of the plot! Pfhhh... right! Bye!!! Gotta Run!
With 42 years of building engineering under my belt, I can confirm that all of my building's elevators had "access" hatches in the ceiling. And, yes, most could be opened from inside the elevator cab. However, all of them had electrical interlocks that halted the elevator's motion if it was opened. Most hatched were hidden behind the elevators drop ceiling that covered the light fixtures' and bulbs, but you could slide the panels out of the way to access the hatch. The main problem is that you could not reach the hatch from inside the elevator unless you had a ladder, or could climb onto the shoulders of someone in there with you. Several times, we would rescue trapped occupants through the hatch when the elevator failed between floors that did not have standard elevator doors on each floor.
Well the climbing through duct work one is 95% of the time true. I clean ducts and in some of the larger commercial buildings we do, we do rarely crawl though bits of them mainly near the air handler. Also the return air grates in those buildings are light plastic and 2x2ft so a body can relatively easily get into them with a ladder. Also in the past a few companies used small guys with shop vacuums crawling though the ducts cleaning it
Sam! You poor bastard! I hope you're feeling better. I recently had knee surgery myself and your 🔥BLAZING🔥 efforts have genuinely helped with my recuperation. 😊💕
Hey Simon! Actually there is kind of a fourth back to the future. There is a Telltale game in 5 episodes that follows the last movie, with a completely original story. It's a point and click game so can be a bit of a headache every now and then but shouldn't be a worry for your big brain 😁
Talking about zooming in: in Canadian PI dramedy Republic of Doyle is funny scene where main character asks therir IT guy to zoom in but instead of zooming in they just look at screen via magnifying glass.
Ha ha, Danny has never known freedom. He was born behind a typewriter in the basement and he will live, love, and die behind a typewriter in the basement. And, he will do all this just to please the beard-faced fact boi father figure that rules over his meager existence.
Unlimited Rounds Trope, where in movies and TV too the hero and his posse have several rounds in their guns but not only don't get hit, but keep going, and the bad guys run out of ammo. This was embarrassingly used in the film Tombstone from the 1990s where at the OK Corral gunfight they all had six guns, (they had four guys versus four guys, with revolvers have have single load 6 bullet guns), never reloaded, and fired off 30 rounds each for 10 minutes at the end, whereas at the real OK Corral story, historically, it was over in 3 minutes because Doc Holliday happened to have more ammo.
And you can certainly hear sounds inside a spaceship, which is good enough for me. (Imagine that each spaceship has an internal microphone.) BTW, you know what else you never hear in space (or anywhere else?) A musical score perfectly timed with the action. So I'm OK with the "sound in space" thing on the whole.
I think the thing with the movies that eludes some people is they are fantasy, no matter what genre. We see the real world every day, & movies are an escape from that. When I watched kung-fu movies as a kid I knew that running through the air was impossible but it made th spectacle that much more enjoyable!
I'd like to point out that in the original 1977 version the Death Star basically just popped and left some sparkling bits. When they did the "Special Editions" in the 90's they changed it to a giant colorful fireball that sent out an enormous weird shockwave from just around it's equator.
These days you can actually get silencers that deliver noise reduction almost down to movie-levels. AFAIK not for large calibers though, and you need to start out with subsonic loads.
The hero shooting a door lock was disprove on MythBusters. You can't actually blow off the lock on a door with a simple gun. They did prove you could use a shotgun, but that would destroy the door and would not be sneaky.
There is actually a round four shotguns called a breaching round. It uses… I do believe… Zinc powder, as the shot, to destroy the lock, whilst not blowing the door completely off the hinges. The only reason I know about this is from reading “fiction “books by a former commander of seal team six Richard Marcinko, who used to use them when he would go on raids.
I've always thought that if someone doesn't want to accept a tip or keep the change, they should take the money anyway, wait for the person to leave, then throw it on the ground for someone else to find. 😂
@@MichaelOKC I couldn’t, my manager was right next to me when he offered it to me and it’s company policy that we couldn’t accept tips, it was a Mac Donald’s in the city center on a Wednesday night if that help, if it wasn’t so quiet and he wasn’t so drunk it probably wouldn’t have gone on half as long as it did 😂
"Mythbusters" had a lot of fun with movie myths. One of my favorite moments was when they tried using magnets to climb up an oversized ventilation duct, only to discover that the magnets made a hilariously loud clanging noise against the thin metal of the duct.
Speaking of unrealistic movie hacking, Independence Day has to top it all. An Apple Mac somehow can interface with an alien information system, which uses totally different processors, they may not even be binary systems, different bus sizes.
On the "knockout punch" - I have once been beaten so bad that I passed out, but the guy beating me continued, and hit me until I woke up again. That's freakin' mental, but I survived with "only" bruises all over my face and one arm, a broken nose, small fractures in my forehead and an almost broken (lesser cracks) on my jaw + bloody wounds here and there on my face. There's no way I can believe movie violence after that.
@@colehowe Peace love and understanding, of course -:) Nah, rather sex, *drugs* & rock'n'roll. It was a perfect example of having a stupid argument with someone, and suddenly you have a fist in your face. On a more serious note, I bled so freakin' much, it just poured out of my mouth and nose, I had trouble breathing. On the hospital they said that I probably hadn't survived one or two more swings. Stay away from fist-fighting, people! -:)
Something that almost makes it impossible to watch certain shows for me is when someone is talking to someone OUTLOUD around OTHER PEOPLE- yet somehow magically no one heard the conversation where they’re planning to kill someone.
Now I somehow wonder what Simon would think of the book series Temeraire. It is a fairly "correct" take on the Napoleon wars, but also clearly in the alternate history category. It is fairly realistic, despite its main premise being that dragons exist. It does however have some very stereotypical themes in regards to the dergs that I personally find a bit boring.... Call me biased if you like. But the books have practically no magic in it what so ever. (I almost feel like making a joke that a book is just paper and ink, but story wise there is no magical themes in it) Other than 1 tiny detail that boarders onto magic, but is fairly realistic, all though exaggerated in regards to the propagation of a shock wave, and how such could be generated, but this is details that the book partly skimps over. In short, a shock wave can be deafening, but it sure as hell isn't going to rip apart a ship from a sizeable distance away. Modern high explosives would only rattle some dust of the sails, not turn the ship to a pile of rubble. (I am however exaggerating what the book actually describes.)
My favourite trope is the "eating food at the table" shits where they put a fork or two of good on their mouth and then they've finished eating and have the house/scene.
I thought the same thing. Perhaps Simon and his wife are taking turns watching him so he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't run off. Perhaps Simon has Sam under hypnosis Or maybe Danny did the surgery himself with ETA instructing him.
Nah the good ones work for the Australian Federal Police or other government agencies. Well thier actions are questionable but their skills are great and you will never hear about them finding CP/Darknet/Carder fourms and somehow finding leaks and ways to get information.

Omg Simon!!! THANK YOU for telling ppl about silencers/suppressors! They only slow the gases to below super sonic lowering the bang. The bullet unless it’s a subsonic round still creates a sonic boom and is loud! Only time you get movie quiet is like .22s, some of the high end cans when using subs the action of the gun is louder than the round going off.

I was very surprised when he mentioned Stargate SG1 in such a way that showed he’d watched a fair bit of the show. 😜
Same.
Is one of them that the bald guy with a beard is always some weirdo who keeps people locked up in his basement? That never happens... Right?? 😅🤣
No one is listening what do I do if Simon's rants have lit me aflame?

Seriously, soon as I heard that I was all:
Shut up and take my money!!!
I woupd pay for that and I'm dutch (stereotype we are really cheap)
@@erwingifslang This is the first time i've heard about such stereotype relating to the dutch, quite diffrent from any others i've know.
@@Juicewski2 I believe it's part of the semi racism/camraderie that pervades the grouping of classic states that have conquered and warred incessantly but also love/hate each other. Sweden/Nederland/Finland/Switzerland/Norway. The "Nordic wars" I call them. Out of the fiveish groups the Dutch are known as the cheapy and take things too serious types(I THINK)also I believe they get made fun of that their accent and language is "silliest" among them. Although even they(all) admit any anglophone would probably be "they all sound like the Swedish chef to me"
Ironically enough probably the most realistic part of Matrix Reloaded was a "hacking scene", involving a reasonably realistic network port scan and a known SSH (remote access) security exploit. Maybe it was even the most realistic hacking scene on any high-budget movie...
TLDR: I have died inside.
That scene has some interesting implications. Since the matrix is simulating 1999 is she aware of the vulnerability in SSH because in the real world that vulnerability was fixed in SSH2 but in the matrix SSH2 isn't released yet? Are the machines guiding technological growth to follow the same path in the matrix as it did in reality? If so, why? Because they just keep resetting the simulation every hundred years or so anyway so what difference does it make? Is there actually no such thing as SSH in the real world but only in the matrix, or maybe is it just less computationally intensive to only simulate technologies (and protocols) that exist in the real world? Why simulate the world in 1999 instead of simulating, say, 1200? Or the feudal era? Surly the humans would be easier to control in a system with a more rigid hierarchy than it was in 1999, and if you did that then you sure as heck don't have to worry about the different versions of SSH. Is it just because big square buildings are easier to render than little towns? Is that not balanced out by the fact that you have to also simulate all of the computers that exist in the late 20th century that are running things like SSH and also getting updates, patches, and bug fixes like the eventual deprecation of SSH version 1?
@@giga-chicken It makes more sense when you realize the machines aren't the villains.

Simon, I have been stuck in an elevator. It also fell about 8 floors I was watering the plants at a client's office, and when I was done, I had to go to another clients office in the same building. I got on the elevator, and it slowly descended three and a half floors. Before I had a chance to react and call for help, there was this large boom and the elevator dropped really fast and really loud. Finally, it stopped. The firemen were already there. I was in shock so they made me lay down for quite a long time. It was scary af. Do not recommend.
This is horrible!!!! I’m so glad the E-brakes worked!

Heart attacks also manifest differently for women than they do men. The more you know! Keep it up blazin fact boy!
Women are slightly more likely to have "atypical" symptoms. But they often still have the classic ones just like how many men have "atypical" as well.

Not a heart attack, but I fell into my uncle's pool when I was 4 and almost drowned. My mom didn't believe me for years because it was nothing like how drowning is portrayed in media. Media drowning is a lot of thrashing and screaming. Real life drowning can often be very quiet and hard to notice at first.
True dat. Actual drowning is scary quiet, barely a splash, the victim just slides under the surface & doesn't reappear so that if someone isn't watching them closely already it's very easy to miss. I have several friends who are lifeguards & just casually spotting someone in the process of drowning in the ocean is next-to-impossible.
Pools with young children nearby should have fences or full time supervision. They are really dangerous
My youngest daughter just put her face down in the water and was completely still. It's super terrifying! And as mom, I'm sorry but... F your mom!
I think the difference in what prople perceive as drowing. Someone can be 1. Actively drowning(which usually requires your breathing orifices under water). Unless there another factor most people dont fall into water and immediately start drowning.
Or 2. Just cant swim so they are trashing and kicking with their arms flailing which may help keep their head above water enough to breath. Eventually either learning how to swim/being saved or then going under and drowning.
I almost drowned when I was a baby. My mom dropped me accidentally in the pool and I was floating down. It’s my earliest memory. I remember looking up at my mom through the surface of the water trying to reach her. She managed to pull me back up immediately and we both were obviously upset.
The second time I fell into a family friend’s pond. I didn’t think I was drowning because I knew how to swim. I was 6. But I will say it was a little difficult to swim. Luckily, he heard me scream when I slipped and pulled me out pretty quickly.

I had a heart attack, I felt like I pulled a muscle in my arm but ignored it, then fell like a sack of potatoes. So it does happen...
My neighbor had a heart attack and thought he had indigestion. He ate some Tums, did some stretches, and woke up in a hospital. On a semi-related note my grandfather fell down some stairs a while back and when he went to the hospital the doctors told him he had a stroke. He never noticed anything, he just thought he slipped. People react differently and it can be hard to self diagnose as you don't have access to the right equipment to verify yourself.
Most people who come in with midline pain that we don’t know if it’s chest or stomach we make them drink a “pink lady” it has lidocaine(numbing agent) and pantoloc(anti heart burn med basically) if it’s stomach pain that will make it go away. If it’s chest pain you’ll still be in pain. So we know we need to look deeper for a cardiac cause.
@@sk1ppercat912 That's interesting because when I went to the emergency room for an allergic reaction making my chest and throat hurt, I told them it was an allergic reaction and even told them what caused it, and they still insisted on throwing me into a corner little isolated booth area and suction-cupping or strapping an EKG machine or some smallish box thing to me and then leaving me alone for about half an hour. Luckily my throat didn't close up while they recorded my heart stopping. Idiots. Btw, if I have any details (like the suction cups or whatever) wrong it's because this was like 15 years ago and I don't really remember other than the basic event of going to the ER and not being helped at all. Still got the bill though. 🙄
@@thirteenthandy I’m not sure what your describing. Could’ve definitely been a EKG though. I don’t like to judge another HCPs when I wasn’t there. There may have been something else they saw that made them think heart. That being said we are human and we make mistakes. Clearly you made it out the other side though. So happy to hear that much.

American tipping culture means leaving money on the table is something that happens. My parents will usually work out how much the tip should be, round up to the nearest dollar, then leave that amount on the table. I personally don't do this though since I rarely carry much cash and just pay for everything with plastic.
I tip in cash so they don’t necessarily have to report it & make sure they get it all if the owner “pools” tips...
Yeah I have done that for sure. Even before getting any bill when I was by myself so the math was easy to know I didn’t underpay
That is a way less dramatic end of a scene though. Compared to slamming money down and marching out like you are on a mission. Waving a waitress over and calculating the tip% and signing initials...... Would be great for a comedy I suppose
Yeah I often tip in cash because they get their money quicker that way. If you tip with credit they won’t see it for a week or so.
Tipping is weird.
As someone who has experienced both brain damage and a coma from head trauma, can confirm you don't just wake up like ow my head hurts and then go on like nothing happened. I had to do a lot of physical therapy and my speech ability was damaged for several years and never 100% healed. I also have epileptic symptoms due to hippocampal damage, and have nerve damage that almost fully negates my ability to sense cold. And I was eight when it happened which meant I still had a lot of brain plasticity so my brain healed a lot more than an adult's brain would have. Hell, even a mild concussion can put you out of commission for a few days.
I had a mild concussion and it took me over a month to get back to somewhat normal and that was with intense physical therapy. Imagine not being able to shower because you’d fall over when you closed your eyes.

I’m so sorry they didn’t run the proper tests on you. That’s sad.
It has been a topic of recent discussions that women's heart attacks aren't the same, which hasn't been shoved into medical education systems worldwide yet.
Yikes, that's scary. Luckily most heart attacks don't instantly kill people like they do in movies.
@@Zeverinsen it has now. It ticks me off because it’s so easy to find out if someone may have had a heart attack. They can do an EKG, and a blood test for troponin, a protein that is released into the blood when cardiac muscle cells die. There are more precise tests now that test for a certain type of troponin, troponin T. Someone messed up somewhere for four doctors not to catch a heart attack for that long.

Nope, he called a alcoholic horse doctor that only speaks Ukrainian, and actually just gave Sam a prostate exam. He was too drunk to realize Sam isn't a horse.
It cost Simon a bottle of mentholated spirits (we Americans call it rubbing alcohol.) and some menthol cigarettes.

@@kingjellybean9795 you do know that once you had a procedure-and sam had one judging by the image- the aftertherapy and care is done swiftly? You may wait a few weeks to months to get a procedure done, but then everything is already scheduled to happen for the best outcome. Like you may have a surgery on your arm and once that is done, wait until the wound healed and then start therapy to regain/retrain your muskles/movement. And the waiting before a not emergency procedure is not THAT much longer than in the states...

My mom had a heart attack last month. There was no pain in her arm and it happen right after eating so she thought it was bad heart burn. She just had a pain / discomfort in her chest and a headache. So you don't always know it is a heart attack unless it is a major one. The pain in your arm is another one of those badly explained things. Most males will have a pain in their arms, females is is far more rare. So don't try to use that as a gauge for if you are having a heart attack or not.
My favorite scene to hate from CSI was actually on the very first episode I ever watched. It was that mind bendingly stupid breach of commin sense that was the chipped knife mold. He poured silicone molding compound into a knife wound, let it set, and magically pulled out a perfect mold of the murder weapon, complete with a missing tip. Apparently, at least in their version of the world the human chest is actually stuffed with plasticine.
"...or Simon's merch st- GET OUT OF MY MERCH STORE!" Laughed all 6 times I rewatched those 4 seconds
There's an advert in New Zealand where they ask what a heart attack looks like with people in front of a camera in a mall portraying 'tv' symptoms and they don't point out until the end a man sitting on a bench in the background slowly struggling and eventually getting help.
Its really funny how Simon is basically the opposite of me about fantasy. I like almost anything if there is fantasy and magic in it xD
In movies, when characters are done conversing on the phone, they never say... "OK! I gotta run!" or "bye," or "see ya" or anything! They just hang up seemingly mid conversation! I guess the single second it takes to say "bye" would interrupt the "flow" or the brilliance of the plot! Pfhhh... right! Bye!!! Gotta Run!
End credits are still legendary !
With 42 years of building engineering under my belt, I can confirm that all of my building's elevators had "access" hatches in the ceiling. And, yes, most could be opened from inside the elevator cab. However, all of them had electrical interlocks that halted the elevator's motion if it was opened. Most hatched were hidden behind the elevators drop ceiling that covered the light fixtures' and bulbs, but you could slide the panels out of the way to access the hatch. The main problem is that you could not reach the hatch from inside the elevator unless you had a ladder, or could climb onto the shoulders of someone in there with you. Several times, we would rescue trapped occupants through the hatch when the elevator failed between floors that did not have standard elevator doors on each floor.
Well the climbing through duct work one is 95% of the time true. I clean ducts and in some of the larger commercial buildings we do, we do rarely crawl though bits of them mainly near the air handler. Also the return air grates in those buildings are light plastic and 2x2ft so a body can relatively easily get into them with a ladder. Also in the past a few companies used small guys with shop vacuums crawling though the ducts cleaning it

Unlimited Rounds Trope, where in movies and TV too the hero and his posse have several rounds in their guns but not only don't get hit, but keep going, and the bad guys run out of ammo. This was embarrassingly used in the film Tombstone from the 1990s where at the OK Corral gunfight they all had six guns, (they had four guys versus four guys, with revolvers have have single load 6 bullet guns), never reloaded, and fired off 30 rounds each for 10 minutes at the end, whereas at the real OK Corral story, historically, it was over in 3 minutes because Doc Holliday happened to have more ammo.
You may not be able to hear an explosion in space, but you certainly might be able to hear something once the expanding gas reaches you.
And you can certainly hear sounds inside a spaceship, which is good enough for me. (Imagine that each spaceship has an internal microphone.)
BTW, you know what else you never hear in space (or anywhere else?) A musical score perfectly timed with the action. So I'm OK with the "sound in space" thing on the whole.
I think the thing with the movies that eludes some people is they are fantasy, no matter what genre. We see the real world every day, & movies are an escape from that. When I watched kung-fu movies as a kid I knew that running through the air was impossible but it made th spectacle that much more enjoyable!
I'd like to point out that in the original 1977 version the Death Star basically just popped and left some sparkling bits. When they did the "Special Editions" in the 90's they changed it to a giant colorful fireball that sent out an enormous weird shockwave from just around it's equator.

The hero shooting a door lock was disprove on MythBusters. You can't actually blow off the lock on a door with a simple gun. They did prove you could use a shotgun, but that would destroy the door and would not be sneaky.
There is actually a round four shotguns called a breaching round. It uses… I do believe… Zinc powder, as the shot, to destroy the lock, whilst not blowing the door completely off the hinges. The only reason I know about this is from reading “fiction “books by a former commander of seal team six Richard Marcinko, who used to use them when he would go on raids.

Ah, I remember a customer arguing with my manager for over half an hour because he couldn’t give me a £5 tip, he got thrown out in the end 😂

@@MichaelOKC I couldn’t, my manager was right next to me when he offered it to me and it’s company policy that we couldn’t accept tips, it was a Mac Donald’s in the city center on a Wednesday night if that help, if it wasn’t so quiet and he wasn’t so drunk it probably wouldn’t have gone on half as long as it did 😂
"Mythbusters" had a lot of fun with movie myths. One of my favorite moments was when they tried using magnets to climb up an oversized ventilation duct, only to discover that the magnets made a hilariously loud clanging noise against the thin metal of the duct.
Speaking of unrealistic movie hacking, Independence Day has to top it all. An Apple Mac somehow can interface with an alien information system, which uses totally different processors, they may not even be binary systems, different bus sizes.

Something that almost makes it impossible to watch certain shows for me is when someone is talking to someone OUTLOUD around OTHER PEOPLE- yet somehow magically no one heard the conversation where they’re planning to kill someone.
Now I somehow wonder what Simon would think of the book series Temeraire.
It is a fairly "correct" take on the Napoleon wars, but also clearly in the alternate history category.
It is fairly realistic, despite its main premise being that dragons exist.
It does however have some very stereotypical themes in regards to the dergs that I personally find a bit boring.... Call me biased if you like.
But the books have practically no magic in it what so ever. (I almost feel like making a joke that a book is just paper and ink, but story wise there is no magical themes in it)
Other than 1 tiny detail that boarders onto magic, but is fairly realistic, all though exaggerated in regards to the propagation of a shock wave, and how such could be generated, but this is details that the book partly skimps over. In short, a shock wave can be deafening, but it sure as hell isn't going to rip apart a ship from a sizeable distance away. Modern high explosives would only rattle some dust of the sails, not turn the ship to a pile of rubble. (I am however exaggerating what the book actually describes.)
My favourite trope is the "eating food at the table" shits where they put a fork or two of good on their mouth and then they've finished eating and have the house/scene.
You let Sam out of the basement?!? How did you ensure he didn't run off in the hospital?
Edit* : Allegedly
I thought the same thing. Perhaps Simon and his wife are taking turns watching him so he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't run off.
Perhaps Simon has Sam under hypnosis
Or maybe Danny did the surgery himself with ETA instructing him.
Sam's best end credit recap!!!
The good hackers are the ones you will never hear about.
Nah the good ones work for the Australian Federal Police or other government agencies.
Well thier actions are questionable but their skills are great and you will never hear about them finding CP/Darknet/Carder fourms and somehow finding leaks and ways to get information.
Simone "Sam has been Fatally Injured."
Sam "I'm not quite dead yet."
Fun fact: in the first aid course I took, they told us one of the biggest symptoms of a heart attack is denial.
True also people will try to hide while chokeing.
No its not.
@Asphincter says what? Yea he some child trying get a reaction. Just look at that name dudepool. Not only cant he think of his our creations but has to prove how stupid he is. Like seriously how can he go at someone that went thru a certified class. Like wth that kid needs study a book and maybe get off his sister breast milk. Like shit, i have seizures and i still believe that lol. Sometimes it does go away just to comeback harder. The human brain is a trip alone hahaha
Omg Simon!!! THANK YOU for telling ppl about silencers/suppressors! They only slow the gases to below super sonic lowering the bang. The bullet unless it’s a subsonic round still creates a sonic boom and is loud! Only time you get movie quiet is like .22s, some of the high end cans when using subs the action of the gun is louder than the round going off.
Sam, you keep outdoing yourself!
