What I like to think is that he forgets it is so, tries it and then makes a another post about it

The actual message and author aside, did anyone else notice how the text got shorter over time?
From 3 to 1 line over 10 years.
Literally Fahrenheit 451

To me its always funny to think Neil forgets, then comes up with the same idea and he posts about it again

I'm sensing a theme in the comments.

This guy needs to be kept away from mirrors for a while.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 16 points 2 months ago

I like to think that he forgets......wait what are we talking about?

[–] dat_fast_boi@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

My theory is he doesn't remember, keeps trying to, and then makes a new post about it when he remembers

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 15 points 2 months ago

I tend to view his actions as a cyclical process, wherein he forgets, but persists in his efforts, ultimately culminating in the creation of a new post each time.

My head canon is that this slips his mind, until his next attempt, and then he informs the world once more.

Another thought to disturb restful slumber, is that he forgets, keeps trying, and then writes up a new post about it

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

can somebody give this man a picture of himself already? It's been over a decade

[–] Klaymore@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

My headcanon is that the old posts slip his mind, he attempts to kiss his cheek, and then tells the world about his discovery

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

The best part is that he also says it in his podcast. I heard it from him like 2 days ago.

The worst part is that it's factually untrue.

Hold anything up to your mirrors and look at it from the side. The item never actually "touches" itself because the glass is in the way. The reflection is on the backing that's behind the glass.

And even more technical (and thus where I'd imagine a scientist's mind would actually go), let's say you remove the glass and just have the reflective backing. The moment you touch it, no photons are transmitting because light can't get in there to make the image, nor can that image even be observed. So all you're doing is kissing the backing. It "looks" like it from the aspect you can observe, but I would have hoped that a self-proclaimed scientist could differentiate between reality vs what amounts to partial observation.

For someone who's supposed to be smart... he says the dumbest fucking shit that screams "I'm smart" but in the 15-16 year old way... what I used to see on Myspace profile headlines. I wish "experts" would stick to their actual fields of expertise and shut the fuck up about everything else. It's hard to take them seriously about their actual field when they are provably stupid in others. Especially when they put themselves out there in the public the way that he does at what seems every possible opportunity.

The one that comes to mind immediately was when he tweeted: "FYI: An airplane whose engine fails is a glider. A helicopter whose engine fails is a brick."

Forgetting that he could have just looked up literally any resource about helicopters to know that it wasn't true. He seems to do a lot of "thinking" rather than a lot of learning these days. It's the same stench as the sovcit folks reek of.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=y4Nc9PvmEt0&t=1m11s

While I get the premise of this "show"... he says one thing that stuck out to me "You shouldn't follow me if you want to learn about astrophysics" @ about 1:11 for those the timestamp in the link doesn't work. I've wondered if that's because he doesn't want to out himself as being stupid in his own field too. Not to say that he IS stupid... but I wonder when the last time he's actually conducted any amount of research on something has been. If that was in the 90's... Then he needs to retire the "scientist" moniker and call himself what he currently is... an influencer, or at best "educator"... which I'm only quoting because if someone takes him as an educator then they'll be mystified when they see him get weird shit wrong that he speaks as if he's knowledgeable on. I also wonder how much of his research actually still stands. But I'm not the person who can discern that.

Another example tweet of his "If there were ever a species for whom sex hurt, it surely went extinct long ago.”

WHAT? THE FUCK? For a good chunk of the HUMAN population (specifically women, though to a much lesser extent even men... [frenulum tears are a thing]) sex is a painful act. The guy looked at his own experience and couldn't for a second imagine how that's not the case for everyone. Forget looking at any other species on the planet... even looking at our own we see that this is completely fucking wrong. Now look at other species and you'll see shit like the praying mantis and some spiders that kills and eats the male during copulation. Cats with barbed penises. Ducks with literal corkscrew shaped penises (where females have literal mazes as a mechanism to allow rape and still have a choice in which partner will sire offspring). Look up "Antechinus" too... the males copulate until death and the details of how they die is just sad.

I haven't been able to take this man seriously for a very long time outside of "well he's an entertainer".

Edit: But this is shitpost community... so I'm sure me taking this somewhat seriously in my rant will equate to downvotes. I accept it.

You know, I find it the absolute peak of irony that this sounds like something that Neil Degrasse Tyson would say about someone else:-).

It’s like he forgot he already posted it and then made a new post

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Repeating himself over and over again, even saying it's something for narcissists, it's probably something he's struggling with himself. And it makes sense, seeing how camera horny he is. If he would do actual scientific research instead of talking about primary school science stuff on cheap TV shows. But no.
