    I’d be more suspicious of a person coming to my door purely just to educate me on cool science things. I wouldn’t be able to shake the feeling that he’s trying to sell me something.

    At least with religion I know their game and I know I’m not interested but science that’s interesting.

      They spend an hour talking about the possibility of life on Venus then they whip out the vacuum cleaner

        Better than a set of steak knives. Because that conversation goes very differently.

        A man who has big books… has a big… bookshelf.

      I’d be more suspicious of them telling me life exists on Venus, specifically. Last I heard it was a hot-ass gaseous atmosphere made of acid. My money is still on Europa.

      I think so, but let’s test it just to be sure.

    If I ever win a lottery I'm legit going to pay someone to do this.

      Man you don’t need to win the lottery I’ll do that for a moderate fee.

        Great! But I need to win the lottery in order to be able to pay your moderate fee.

    Right, please tell me. Is this just a meme thing or do people actually knock on other people’s doors to try to convert them to their religion?

    And does this only happen, bizarrely, in the country with the highest number of gun-owning cowards?

    It just seems such an odd combination

      Jehovas witnesses knocking on doors is an absolutely known thing in Germany.

      Ever heard of Jehovah’s witnesses? Or Mormons going on their mission? They aren’t constant here, but they are definitely a thing in the Netherlands.

    • melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It does. It got to the point I explained the concept of trial by combat to them, and said if they really believed, they would fight me-me armed them not.

      Never worked.

      So I got a grab bag of cheap sex toys to keep by the door the moment I got my first place (was homeless when I turned 18) and ‘would you like to talk about Jesus’ became ‘trick or treat’.

      Nope. I’m in Canada and it happens here too.

      New Zealand here, I've only had it once in the last 5 years and it was awesome, they turned out to be from a doomsday cult that believes God is a living Korean woman or something like that.

    Wouldnt happen. Scientists are too in love with the possibility they are wrong. Little room for evangelism

    source
    • Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Only because they often are… which is what makes science so great. If everything was thought to be correct, what good would testing and new discovery be? The fact that scientists have historically been wrong drives scientists to prove other scientists wrong.

      source
      • wewbull@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The scientific method:

        • Make a guess
        • Prove yourself wrong, or get someone else to do it
        • Repeat

    I’ve found the fastest ways to get religious folk that knock on my door to scurry in a hurry is:

    1. offer to listen as long as they like but only after they roast a bowl with you
    2. tell them to pay their fucking taxes

      What’s a roasted bowl?

      “I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of gaussian distribution curves,” wrote the former Cornell University professor. “I wrote the curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down.”

    Yeah, uhh, come in, how’d you know I was a space need? Would you also like to scope out my house to rob it later? That’s fine too, as long as you tell me about this cool space fact.

        “Trust us” lol nobody says that. It’s more like “This is our greatest hypothesis to fit the data. If you come up with something better we’d love to hear it”

      Didn’t Pythagoras have a cult or some shit?

      Also, I would say a lot of modern medicine since the discovery of germ theory has included a sizeable portion of evangelism.

  • onlinepersona@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It’s a two-edged sword: yes, you’re probably doing great work, but on the other hand it might come off as annoying and give science a bad name.

    I wouldn’t mind some random knock on my door once a week or so by someone who wants to sit down and teach me some random scientific principle or spit out fast facts. One would have to watch out for false priests though.

    YouTube already does this in a less invasive way. “Here’s this random video on theory crafting how we can put life on Mars that we just thought you might like.”
