The amazing and cool photo thread

[ProjectWHaT]

Using a slight variation on the famous high-speed camera set-up by Doc Edgerton, the Edgerton Center at MIT shot a .22 caliber rifle through three peanut butter cups and captured this perfect image. Three peanut butter cups were harmed in the photographing of this photograph. [MIT]

Would anyone else mess this up on purpose so you could eat the tasty, tasty failures or is it just me?

That's the shadow of the Jovian moon.

The Jovian moon? You do know Jupiter has more than one, right? (a LOT more) That one's called Ganymede.

The website I read it from said it was the Jovian moon. I'm not going to go memorize all 50 something moons,

I'm just baffled by the idea of a website that knows the word "Jovian", but thinks it has only one moon. Weird.

I thought Jovian was the name of one of the many moons.

It's the demonym assigned to Jupiter's moons. Io, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto are collectively known as the Galilean moons.

I'm not sure I would want to eat food with gunpowder residue on them, as tasty as they are...

 

[TB]

Worth it.

Just eat around the bullet holes.

Just eat around the bullet holes.

If you did that experiment using a few of these instead. You wouldn't have to worry about eating around the bullet holes in the first place.

I feel that we have overanalyzed the eating of delicious, chocolatey, peanut buttery snacks. Considering that dropping one on the floor for a few seconds won't prevent me from eating it I doubt that having come into contact with a flying bullet would do it.

And if I had to pick which one turned out to be the serial killer, that would be Gene Simmons.

OK @Danny now I'm worried about you. Do you need to talk about this shark thing?

Even though I'm petrified of them (thank you greatly mother and father for showing me Jaws at the tender age of 3!), I have that thing too.

Not all awesome pictures are of sharks, but all pictures of sharks are awesome.

Not any more.

North Korea vs South Korea

 

[Flex0r]

Even electricity is oppressed!

 

[Wiegert]

I suppose it is Best Korea if you wanted to do some stargazing.

 

[Liquid]

North Korea = Scotland
South Korea = Shrivelled up Wales and England

Cannot unsee.

 

[PeterJB]

So that makes Seoul Carlisle?
