    If you're wondering how 80 million trees could be flattened like that, imagine 80 million jars of peanut butter being slammed into the ground.
  • @ars_moriendi
    My roommate once said that it's absolutely wild to them that Shane and Ryan only met for the first time as adults because they have the vibe of two friends who grew up together into one of those shared braincell friendships.
  • @elgil06
    ryan going “you missed” and then immediately switching to “no you hit me” when shane started to aim the blast wave thing again is such peak sibling energy
  • @PanzerMan332
    Love that Ryan and Shane casually forgot that after World War I, the was an entire revolution and upheaval of the Russian government, meaning that a government funded expedition into a remote and sparsely inhabited area was MAYBE not a top priority for a while.
  • @erik-fv7id
    it’s hard to imagine an asteroid traveling at 33,500 mph, but thank god Shane told us to imagine a jar of peanut butter traveling at 33,500 mph. really puts things into perspective
  • Shane's repeated reuse of the peanut butter analogy in spite of it reliably and clearly not working is a mood.
  • @roseaesthetic7969
    If Shane was a college professor and his lectures were like this, I'd never skip class.
  • @gracesw9906
    when shane stands in front of the projector around 21:44 the light makes it look like he’s wearing teeny tiny shorts
  • @LizzianaJones
    The constant acknowledgment of Ryan’s betrayal of the Professor across shows is just amazing every time
  • @bibongka981
    ryan presents like a detective while shane presents like a professor fr its a vibe
  • @RaeNapier64
    Ryan begging for his life over a light breeze is everything I needed
  • @pendingauthor2536
    I was a bit confused on how big the astroid was, but when Shane compared it to peanut butter jars, it made complete sense.
  • @seraphimhotker691
    I didn’t quite understand the maths until Shane turned it into the peanut butter thing and honestly that helped a lot
  • @theatregirl120
    Ryan’s complete overreaction to being blasted with a puff of wind from a literal children’s toy was everything I needed today. 😂
  • @kennedidrake2289
    How Shane's first mystery wasn't the dancing plague of 1518 will always astound me
  • @loezzz491
    Shane's usage of the jar of peanut butter is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen. It made me laugh so hard, for a moment I forgot I was depressed :'D
  • Shane's such a great presenter. It's crazy that we haven't seen him present anything since Ruining History. He should collab with the Professor some day.
  • @HeisenbergFam
    Watcher's quality over quantity format is something I wholeheartedly respect
  • @seeunsbsf7734
    10:58 the way shane sensed that ryan was about to do something and shane just stopped him like a dad😭
