Now test how many BB guns it would take to stop a real train.
rightwoof
You’re making some Italians very upset… and by some I mean ALL of them.
OCTAVlAN
I don't see any emergency response teams for that train derailment. So this is the USA?
Nightchime
You know you can just use your hands to break pasta, right?
jelladelta
Isn't this an act of aggression towards Italy?
mikeatike
I kinda wanna try this with my all metal 1950s Lionel PRR. Engine weighs like 15 pounds and I don't even have enough straight track or room to get it up to full speed. But I don't not wanna clean up the giant mess.
xo66nt
the density of the obstruction in the last test is much higher than the others.
JacaByte
Yeah I wish they had made more breaks with less spaghet apiece instead of using fewer breaks with more spaghet, cause of course a thick bundle of uncooked paste is going to stop the toy train
J3lek
I like that it's intervals of 7 up until "ah fuck it, 70 didn't stop it. double it! Followed by a mighty fag of 500"
TotallyNotSarcastic
Is spaghet?!
TooSoonOldTooLateSmart
Nope. 210 put him off the track, and at 500 he was already off the track.
XorKaya
Now do it with cooked pasta.
aloharamada
So the answer wasn't 42 after all.
FallWind
It already derailed at 210 though.

Something I've slways wondered. /s

Is Denzel driving?
upsidedownyhead
This will trigger that woman's cute Italian husband
HJVN
Ot is not the amount that stop the train, it is how you stack them. Had he stacked a 100 like he stacked them in the last test, it would probably have stopped it.
DrewThe3DPrinterGuy
The Thomas theme song makes this canon.
Groinrash
1276+ pieces of spaghetti on the floor
SodomySnake
Take one down, pass it around. 1275+ pieces of spaghetti on the floor.
mercbrit
What??? Somewhere between 210 and 500! This tells us almost nothing!

Mama Mia!

Now that's using your noodle.

This is the kind of content I come to Imgur for :)
Tominator2000
It's like one of those ethical dilemma posts where you choose to run over 1 person (represented here by psgetti) or double it for the next person.
unusuallyAverageJoe
*Sad italian noises*
gyzmok
look at how yellow that pasta is, no Italian cries over crappy pasta
koops
whoatherebigfella
So, 499 then.
Hatrax
The police thought they had caught the person responsible for causing these spaghetti derailments, but it turns out they had arrested an impasta.
wanderer2575
That's a terrible comment and I wish I had thought of it first.
somethingsomethingwittyhere
positiveleroy
I’d pay a pretty penne to figure out who did this.
pistacher
somewhere between 210 and 500
FeChefImgur
Yeah My thoughts exactly. Need a few more trials to narrow it down a little more.
SwagicalYololord
If you put 150 all upfront, you’d probably get the same effect since it looked like it could barely handle 100.
JacktheKind
none of the people who do these have ever paid attention in science class... start with 100, if it takes more go a bit up, if not go down. until you reached the exact amount... dont fucking jump from 210 to more than double that
Rubyrose99
I've never made it without biting. Go ask Mr owl.
MadeThisAccountToAnswerQuestions
Last test needs to be redone, the railing was misaligned prior to collision. Also, putting that much up-front changes how it would compare to other samples tests.
Curli187
Also the holders need to be reinforced as they are absorbing part of the energy and flying off
oaberbyamd
They got lazy

PapaDeltaXray
Maybe they ran out of noodles.
OlaphOfTheNorth
you just publish as "ItaliaFail: strategies for arresting forward motion of S(?) scale model locomotive using dry spaghetti" and now you're covered as long as you describe each trial's noodle deployment in detail
XorKaya
There's probably other tests in between that they didn't publish.
AgainstMethod
He was clearly getting bored and needed an out
MechanicalRomance
I mean i kinf of feel like their hypothesis was like 100 wpuld stop it, and they werw probably running put of sticks
NacLac
Also, he changed the density of the pasta which completely changes it's integrity
Cowmayihelpu

StevieTheAussie
Almost like the ‘test’ was done for the likes, not for SCIENCE!
AsidRayne1245
I am quite sure that if you spread out the 500 noodles like the earlier tests it would rip right through them too.. or redo the 140 and up tests and bundle the noodles together and the results would fail just like the 500
GravyEducation
Also the jump between 210 and 500
HerrHat
Running out of spaghetti. If they had done 250 next, they couldn't have upped their game for the next run.
drowninginthesouth
They regretted their idea and were just ready to get this experiment over.

You say that but I'm pretty sure a lot of the people who are usually prone to getting distracted, will easily hyperfocus on train-pasta-collision testing
patotheduck
What kind of.. I'm hungry.
thisisjunk
As to the misaligned rails, I think they did that intentionally. These looks like the 90's onward single-piece tracks instead of the older multi-piece ones. The aggressive derailing could have damaged the clips that connect the track segments, so instead they disconnected it.
Dekker3D
Still could've made a bit to keep them aligned, while allowing them to easily separate.
thisisjunk
While true in general, does someone who is "testing" how much spaghetti it takes to stop a (fairly large) LEGO train that has been run down a slope seem like someone who takes the time to build a decent break-away alignment system? Especially, after they spent all their time building the slope and the noodle holders.
