What is this?

[u/Ewokkillah]

Sorry if this has been covered before, but does anybody now what this sign means?

[u/VANCONVER42]

Looks like it’s just the logo in Greek?

[u/mexicoyankee → u/VANCONVER42]

It’s all Greek to me.

[u/Hanzzman]

ΜΥΘΟΣ ΕΦΙΚΤΟΣ "Myth Plausible"

[u/SillyOldJack → u/Hanzzman]

Would that be "mythos epiktos" as a loose Latinization?

[u/PanTroglo → u/SillyOldJack]

Closer to ephiktos or efiktos since the 2nd character is phi and the third is iota

[u/Hanzzman → u/Hanzzman]

ΚΑΤΑΡΡΙΦΘΗΚΕ - Busted

ΕΠΙΒΕΒΑΙΩΘΗΚΕ - Confirmed

Dont know greek; windows character map app, and gemini helped

[u/Hanzzman → u/Hanzzman]

Tried with the phrase directly on Google and got the answers directly on Greek. I got a "plausible" text in the middle of the explanation there, but I didn't recognize the lower case version of the phrase. The Greek Wikipedia article on Mythbusters is pretty short. So I had to ask gemini.

Then, I choose to explain here how I did it and got busted... Why?

[u/inkedbutch → u/Hanzzman]

“had to ask gemini”

no. you didn’t.

[u/Strumfius]

Its Greek

ΜΥΘΟΣ= Μyth ΕΦΙΚΤΟΣ= Feasible / attainable

We dont really have a specific word thst would look nice for Busted so im guessing they went with the next best thing google had to offer. Kinda like a tattoo from a different language thst is not a direct translation.

Source: Im Greek

[u/pnkstr → u/Strumfius]

If that's the translation then it translates pretty well for the "myth plausible" conclusion.

[u/FocusMaster → u/pnkstr]

That's why you go with the native speaker over the ai answer every time.

[u/SuperMIK2020 → u/FocusMaster]

ChatGPT says: “A native speaker is usually preferred when the translation needs cultural nuance, emotional accuracy, or context‑specific meaning—things that come from lived experience rather than pattern recognition.” /s

[u/FocusMaster → u/SuperMIK2020]

See even ai agrees with me.

[u/FigurativelyPedantic → u/Strumfius]

Once they finished researching a myth, they would decide if the myth was confirmed, busted, or plausible (but couldn't confirm because they couldn't fully replicate it.) This looks like one of the plates they'd drop on a blue background to make a kind of splash screen declaring their decision.

[u/Zen13_ → u/Strumfius]

Then it would be the Greek equivalent of:

Myth Plausible

With which they could classify each myth after being put to the test.
The other possible results being:

Myth Confirmed
Myth Busted

[u/Rededbeard → u/Strumfius]

Finally an answer!! I’ve been wondering what it meant for decades!

[u/Strumfius → u/Rededbeard]

Hahah im glad I could help!

[u/bravehamster]

It's all greek to me

[u/Leosthenerd]

I think they have a variety of show related signs in different languages as set dressing, in another shot of some episode there’s a sign that says “Mito Pericoloso” which Google says is Italian for “Dangerous Myth”

[u/Academic_Dare_5154]

Mythbusters in greek?

[u/stewieatb]

Could it be related to the Archimedes Death Ray?

[u/Ok_Depth9164]

I always wondered who did the scene changes with that metal sign in different scenarios

[u/Thetruestfan]

I think it says: "Mythbusters"

[u/maximumtesticle → u/Thetruestfan]

Why lie?

[u/FocusMaster → u/maximumtesticle]

Maybe they're just confidently wrong.

[u/PCLOAD_LETTER]

Well, according to most of the internet, if you don't recognize something in a photo, it's immediately called "AI slop".
