Trippy liquid 'fireworks' appear when scientists try to mix unmixable fluids
When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability.Damien Pine (Live Science)

“Minimum Wage Machine”
“The minimum wage machine allows anybody to work for minimum wage. For as long as they turn the crank, the user is paid in pennies as time passes. For example, if minimum wage is $7.25/hour (the current US Federal rate), then the worker is paid one penny every 4.97 seconds. If they stop turning the crank, they stop receiving money. The machine's mechanism and electronics are powered by the hand crank, and pennies are stored in a plexiglas box. The MWM is reprogrammed as minimum wage changes, or for wages in different locations.”

So in about 40 minutes the #Monsterdon movie will be starting. This one looks to be spectacularly bad in the best possible ways, so I'm probably going to be saying a lot about it! To any who see my posts (followers/etc) if you don't want to see the messages, filter or mute the #Monsterdon tag, or if you're not feeling very generous, you can mute me for about two hours.
Or, alternately, come join us! This is sure to be a fun one! Miru will be sharing it here: miru.miyaku.media/ It's also on Tubi and other free streaming services. "Maximum Overdrive" is the name of the movie.
Right now a bunch of old anime ops are playing just for fun it seems, lol.
Ok, so I'm really having to ask the obvious here, but how are these rogue machines actually causing buttons/etc to physically move? I can accept circuits going rogue, but... There just... is no mechanism even with comets hacking them that they could physically move levers and switches and stuff.
Finally we reach the point that it becomes a horror movie.
And some dude is joking about the person who is bleeding profusely because of course someone did.
Did he just get isekaied into the game? Is Tron going on in the background but we don't get to see it? Because it was definitely a better movie. 😁
YES! They got the "can I watch you go pee" guy.
...
DARN IT, NO THEY DIDN'T! Try harder truck!
Why is the truck adjusting its mirrors to see them? Is the magic comet tail dust supposed to like... put invisible people inside the machines or... What???
Kid's just ever so calmly biking around the neighborhood looking at all the dead and bloody bodies. No biggie. No need to rush or anything.
BTW why aren't bikes rebelling? The only rule seems to be "machine."
So... like... the machines all see? Like with eyes? Or, uh, something?
WHAT ARE THE RULES HERE???
Is it weird that I like the kind of guitar-riff sound "ree ree ree" like it's about to build into some serious rock? Too bad it doesn't though.
I can't help but to feel like all anyone truly has to do is just... You know, actually dodge the not even really that fast moving trucks or whatever and just run away on a not road that it can't just drive on. Or am I just making it too easy?
Also why is it in these movies that no car can outrun a trailer truck?
I'm not an expert, but I don't think diesel engines (without even turbo chargers or anything!) aren't exactly optimal for chasing cars.
This isn't even the only movie to do that.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! All the ruined toilet paper everywhere! THE HORROR!!!
I didn't realize this movie was going to be so shocking... I think I'm going to have to have a moment.
Ok, so... I think the trailer trucks can rebel against humanity, but actual cars can't. I think we finally found something consistent.
They're all in a world-wide life or death scenario.
But yeah, of course annoying boss dude still has to be a complete jerkwad.
What kid hasn't ever wanted to crawl through a gross drain pipe, right?
Oh, darn. Foiled. (Why is he disappointed by this???)
"If it is the comet that's making everything go crazy, all we gotta do is stay alive for the next seven days."
HOW THE HECK ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO THAT WHEN LIKE HALF OF HUMANITY GOT MURDERED IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES?
We definitely need to hear these eating noises really loud. That's why all movies do this and none ever filter that out.
🤢
Why do they think they're safe inside? Those trailer trucks could totally pull the building down on them if they wanted. Clearly they're just toying with their prey.
Wait no everyone. I've seen this in horror movies. It's always the bad guy faking a voice to lure them out!
...
wait...
Oh heck, I still don't know what the rules are. Maybe the trailer trucks can talk now.
Ok I'm sure of it. Green Goblin trailer truck is definitely the leader of the rebellion. I think. Probably. Maybe.
I don't think I've ever seen a wooden square sewer pipe before.
Either way, why the heck are they crawling through it? You think this thing can handle the weight of a trailer truck on top of it?
Ok ok. I'm catching on to something. Ok.
Diesel engine vehicles rebel. That's one rule. Gasoline engine vehicles do not. That's another. By which it means any diesel engine vehicle apparently.
Wait, no, the lawnmower was part of the rebellion too. Uhm... So two-cycle engines also joined the rebellion.
WHAT ARE THE RULES???
Oh wow. Ok, so we definitely can confirm that cars are not part of the rebellion. Poor car. It never did anything to deserve that. *Sniffs*
Everyone remember that bulldozer's name.
Yes lady. Insulting the vehicles is definitely a way to stop their murderous rampage.
Kid consistently writes "so meon." I make typos like that all the time on the PC, but who does it in writing?
Wait wait wait. I have a plan!
Put gasoline in the diesel vehicles and diesel in the gasoline vehicles! It's so obv-
Ok, just pump correctly for them all day instead.
Come on, they wouldn't have known the difference until it was too late. Come on! I mean can they even read?
How the heck big is the fuel tank at this station??? It took all day with like 5000 trucks to finally use it all up???
So... Uhm, I've been wondering something.
Why hasn't anyone at any point just... You know. Tried getting in or something. You know, grab the wheel. Turn the key. Put it in the wrong gear so it stalls. Whatever. Do something.
Ok, look. I've worked a long, crap shift and been dead tired, in pain, etc etc. I mean I get it.
It didn't like... What the heck is even wrong with him? It's like he's wounded and dying or something.
"Don't drop me now! I'm delicate now!"
Normal human words like normal humans normally say.
OMG. It's that bulldozer again attacking poor innocent cars.
That car didn't even do anything! Why are you just attacking it like this?
Omg, it just backed up and did it again. What the heck is wrong with this bulldozer? Geez what a jerk.
Y-you know that signs don't actually talk, right? Like someone talks through the interc-
Ok, we're doing this then.
Can't be a horror movie without some idiot just standing still while something comes to hurt them and they could literally just move slightly left or slightly right and not die.
They just destroyed the leader of the rebellion didn't they? Will that end this movie?
Please?
Yep. The movie was rated R for all the horrible watermelon gore at the beginning of the movie.
Those poor melons.
The best part of this movie was absolutely 100% the way it just throws up a bit of text at the very end that effectively says "btw aliens did it. They got blown up, so it's ok now."
So, uh, what exactly is the plan that this truck has exactly? Like if it has a high speed collision it's probably going to flip over and then how is it going to kill all humans?
At least in Maximum Overdrive they were smart enough to go slow enough that this wouldn't happen.
"Look, trucks just don't drive themselves, ok?"
"Maybe it just wanted some company?"
Wow the face she made... I don't know what she was mouthing exactly, but I'm guessing it was something like "oh wow..."
I'm pretty sure I made the same face.
So... It's called Trucks, but it still does involve other machines rebelling against humanity too?
Or are phone lines down that somehow also affects cellphones?
TV conveniently cuts in exactly the right time to hear the official message from the sheriff. Immediately cuts out to static again the moment his message ends.
That's how TVs work. Everyone knows this.
Oh look. Another chase scene in which a car apparently can't outrun a diesel truck.
Or yeah, get over and brake or literally anything other than just letting it slam into their bumper over and over.
So, I missed the beginning, but I guess the idea in this movie is, instead of "btw aliens did it" it's "chemical spill makes truck become self-aware and very very angry for some reason"? Like... why is it so angry? Who hurt this truck so bad?

in reply to Dave Rahardja • • •It would be fun to set up a row of these, made to look kind of like slot machines with LCD screens showing "winnings" in a slot machine-esque style.
Especially if you could set them up in a place that has slot machines. Then watch people ignore these and go to the slot machines that cost them money.
