It’s actually even more unlikely that they would be able to learn how to talk. This guy’s clearly not a very good scientist if he missed that.

I’d be questioning the unique selective pressures that caused the hundred acre wood to produce sentient stuffing filled animals.
rockerface@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I mean, if it’s the Red Forest, anything is possible
Please_Do_Not@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Darwin’s got his finches, Dawkins has his teddy, each instrumental to the modern understanding of natural selection.
Opisek@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Or he knows something we don’t…
waigl@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Unlike with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, with Dawkins, I would be quite surprised if he brought that up without being quite specifically asked about it…
SonnyVabitch@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s probably from an hour long portrait interview, in which they cover a lot of ground including favourite English literary pieces, and the interviewer tries to tie it to the guest. They would probably ask David Beckham which Harry Potter character he’d have on his football team.

Dawkins would have shitposted on Twitter with the best of them if he’d been born later

But, now hear me out, what if there was also a rabbit?
Davel23@fedia.io 1 year ago
Why stop there? Owl! Tiger! Kangaroo!
LordTrychon@startrek.website 1 year ago
Tigger. There’s a double-guh.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s morphine’ time!
spirinolas@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, not with that attitude, Richard.
gasgiant@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
This looks like something from Viz magazine. They’ll regularly have big one page jokes about something and then have these little made up side bits in.
Whole thing was probably about illegal immigrants taking small boats to the hundred acre wood and then there’s this little bit in the bottom.

TOModera@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean, he’s a Tigger, not a Tiger, so that’s off.
TheBat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Bruh you can’t just drop the t-word like that
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have a feeling that A.A. Milne might just wanted to call a character the N-word, then first had a dream about how badly it aged, then in a second one how far racist gamers can go to say at least a “censored” version of it online.

It is unlikely that this transphobe will be remembered in a positive light in ten years.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Uh oh, what did he do?
HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 year ago
He claimed several times that transpeople were just the gender version of “Black Face”, so much so they rescinded one of his humanism awards
Trollception@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Disagreed slightly with someone
Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Iirc, he had a stroke and then became Twitter friends with JK Rowling.
ParabolicMotion@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t think those animals would be stitched together with cloth and stuffed with cotton, either.
NABDad@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I came here looking to see if anyone would point out that they are toy animals, not real ones.
threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
they are toy animals, not real ones
A couple of them were real animals, and this is reflected in the stories.
The two characters are
Owl and Rabbit. In one of the stories, one of them says to the other “You and I have brains, the others have fluff”.
essteeyou@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Someone take Dawkins to a zoo.
AncientFutureNow@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I like this guy less and less every day.
Entropywins@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean, the dude studied zoology at Balliol College, Oxford, so he is an expert on the matter…
aport@programming.dev 1 year ago
And yet his statement is missing the oxford comma

“Richard Dawkins confirms intelligent design mostly likely explanation”
Belgdore@lemm.ee 1 year ago
If someone released a donkey in East India this would be very plausible. Kangaroos on the other hand…
dumbass@leminal.space 1 year ago
Yeah there’s no way that Kanga hasn’t beaten the shit out of them all already for getting too close to Roo, especially Tigger and Pooh.
OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Well, they’re all stuffed animals, so Kanga probably isn’t too worried about predation.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m sure there’s regions where people have pigs and donkeys and there are bears and tigers in the woods.
However, it would not end up well for the pig or the donkey if they hung out
Daft_ish@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This guy’s smart. Where do I send money?
OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
A tiger? What is he talking about? The thousand acre woods has a Tigger, but no tigers.
MamboGator@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Oh shit, that’s good. Write that down!”
Thorry84@feddit.nl 1 year ago
in a mirror, you can kiss yourself, but only on the lips

Something tells me Neil has actually run that experiment to be certain.

Oh, suddenly self love is a problem?!?
