what really pisses me off is these BeamNG dweebs sneaking into my Russian dashcam pipeline 😠

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 1 points 6 hours ago

Now that's not cool. I'm all for BeamNG videos but don't try to pass them off as authentic Russian dashcams

i remember the red hot nickel ball channel . Basically a ball of nickel heated to red hot and just placed on objects. A precursor to hydraulic press channels. Dudes rock

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, that channel's cool. Shit never did what you thought it would with a red hot nickel ball put on it

Everything's got a plan until a red hot nickel ball is put on it

I hate these CG renders with the AI voiceover (and possibly entirely AI generated video). If I'm going to watch Yee-haw type of content it needs to be an actual person, like that guy who shoots rando things with higher and higher calibre bullets, or the archery twink.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's not AI-generated. BeamNG Drive is…well, it's kind of a game, but more of a game engine that lets you drive various vehicles with intricate crash physics. YouTube has plenty of videos of BeamNG crashes and this kind of silly stuff.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

yeah it's mostly a physics simulator toy

BeamNG also allows you to import your cars from automation and drive them around, pretty cool stuff.

I saw this video a few days ago and there's no AI or even a voice over. Just the sounds of metal coils going through 10 busses at 500 mph.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

I skipped through this sound off so i didn't even know if it had one. It's CG but it's from the game beam.ng which is all about cars and soft body physics.

Wait, this makes no sense at all

The density of tungsten and titanium are vastly different, those coils should either weigh different amounts or be differently sized

Someone's lying here

[–] fox@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

BeamNG is sort of a physics sim built around deformation and soft-body collisions. Video author probably took a steel coil entity and cranked the mass up or whatever in the sliders

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Maybe the rolls are different sizes? Resulting in the same diameter at their target weights?

I just wanna watch big things hit buses in the victimless crime setting of a sandbox videogame

Maybe one set of coils are hollow thinking-about-it

[–] Budwig_v_1337hoven@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hollow tungsten coils? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the internet, localized entirely within this thumbnail?!

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes! good-lord

We don't have a skinner

You know what? I'd rather the algorithm steer men toward this than toward Matt Walsh and Andrew Tate.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

I have very specifically curated my algorithm to show me this type of dumb shit and not the pipeline. Gotta chuck in some breadtube now and then when it thinks rolls of titanium mean it's ok to be racist

[–] Big@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

Is a crash test bus called a bang bus?

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
