All of Neil's insecurity and bravado stem from him not being able to kiss himself on the forehead

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Neil deGrasse Tyson. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Neil's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Neil deGrasse Tyson truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Neil's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Neil deGrasse Tyson tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

I imagine that he doesn't remember he's already tried it, tries again, then posts it repeatedly using different verbiage each time.

That's what happens when you forget but keep trying and then make a new post about it.

I used to think he was an insanely intelligent individual who stood for the best and most accurate scientific research. Then he had to go on TV and Twitter and run his mouth

He's truly insufferable and yeah smart but like an idiot at the same time ya know

I have thought upon it and am of the mind that he posts about it, then forgets he ever posted it, and posts it again thinking it’s still the first time.

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

I'm sensing a theme in the comments.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

ChatNDT has really improved over the years

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

It's almost like he forgets, keeps trying, then makes a new post about it

He’s no Carl Sagan

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.

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.

My theory, which is mine and belongs to me, is as follows: cough He forgets, keeps on trying and then posts about it again cooooouuuuugggghh

Give him a break, it's such a witty observation after all!

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.

Is the image of himself in the mirror really himself or just a picture of himself? Is reality really real? ;-p

Another thought to disturb a restful slumber, especially if you are vain: I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it.

I think it's time we move on from Neil he's essentially a parrot of common science facts anyway at this point. Id rather hear contemporary experts over dated TV personalities.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

That's actually incorrect, the light reflected by the mirror is time delayed based on 2 x the width of glass on the mirror so you are just kissing a slightly older version of you.

A world renowned scientist like neil should know better

I've been learning a lot of things about him on Lemmy recently that seem to be confirming a suspicion I had when watching a star talk episode.

He had a guest that was just this tiny guy sitting close enough that Tyson was able to touch him, and boy did he do a lot of touching... Felt really odd and I always wondered if he was actually not so cool and yet another one of "those guys."

Obviously this post isn't all that bad, but definitely a strange thing to want to repeat so many times lol

Narcissus DeGrasse Tyson?

This always makes me laugh

Well tye comment section in this thread is a trip; reality has encountered a duplication error.

When you take recycling too far.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

In my opinion he disremembers it, attempting further and then writes a new entry about it.

I like to think that he knows

NDT's AIM profile in 2003:

I'm thinking it's a sign That the freckles in our eyes Are mirror images And when we kiss They're perfectly aligned

I'm sure he tried kissing his own ass a time or two before he figured it out.

Because people on the internet never say the same thing more than once?

I love mirrors.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

He has a stroke?

Someone is really obsessed with a kissing Tyson...
