Mathematically speaking running is better

@iiii They're only walking for a very short duration, they aren't getting soaked. That water will stay on the skin or bounce off, not drain fully to the clothes. I think it's a glaring flaw in their experiment.

@powerfulparadox To be perfectly fair, they do a good job for it being reality TV, and for them being prop makers and not scientists. Their understanding of the scientific method could use a little bit of a boost, but often times they do include things like control entities etc etc. This was simply a pretty massive failure of the scientific method.

@AlmondSauce Haven't gotten to that episode yet
Why study computer science if you can become a science and get paid for it? 🤣
Science, bitch!

Re-watching old episodes of mythbusters. S2E1, they test "better to walk or run in the rain"
Their method totally pissed me off.
They had cotton suits on their body and measured the weight difference before and after.
Except the cotton suits DIDN'T GO ON THEIR HEAD.
Where is most of the rain going to fall when walking slowly and the water source is directly above your head? Head and shoulders.
So of course their findings were that you got more wet when running, as some of the water got on their belly instead of their head.
Can't find anyone talking about it online so had to rant about it here. So fucking stupid
