Methinks Niel enjoys the smell of his own farts a little too much

Did you know that the only part of yourself you can kiss in the mirror is your lips?
Don’t ask me how I know.

Tyson IMO went service industry worker crazy without the usual pressure of getting fired for talking back or snarking at the customers.
Because being tapped to be the new Science Communicator Supreme sounds like a huge honor until you realize you’re now cursed to constantly be dealing with having to rehash the same bullshit you’ve long since lost interest in because of repetition over and over again on morning news shows, when you’re not instead dealing with Stephen Colbert trying to Checkmate Atheists you over your own field of study.

He’s not even correct all the time. I saw him speak about osmosis once and he was saying solutes move across the cell. By definition osmosis is the movement of water. It really struck me at the time because has so confident sounding and I have never trusted him since

I don’t know what colbert did but my trust in him is automatically higher than in Tyson.

In a mirror, you can kiss yourself only on the lips

The only part of your body you can kiss in a mirror are your lips.

You can kiss yourself in the mirror, but only on the lips

the surface is the coolest part. maybe he was talking about the core, which for Sol is 150 million Kelvin. he also didn’t say which sun he was referring to
lauha@lemmy.one 2 weeks ago
Yes, butbhe is right that sun doesn’t burn very hot as it does not burn at all.
luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Burning hotter than the sun doesn’t have to mean “than the sun burns”. Just that the fire is hotter than the sun.

The only thing tyson has ever really proven himself is that even when you are right, you are still a asshole.

Ok neil, tell me a single element that doesnt turn to gas at that temperature.
Then tell me about the temperature at the inside of the sun, not the surface.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Hydrogen is not a gas at that temperature. It’s a plasma.
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 weeks ago
technically correct is the best kind of correct!

Then he started rambling about kissing mirrors for a few hours

Stars don’t burn anything anyway.
UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
It’s their heart that burns, they only compare the temperature with the sun.
emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I’m pretty sure the sun isn’t massive enough to go supernova.
Daxtron2@startrek.website 2 weeks ago
He’s talking about the other star still
emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Ah, makes sense.
samus12345@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m all for pedantry, but any human metaphor is clearly referring to a human perspective, and it’s very reasonable to call any temperature that is too high to sustain human life hot.
luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
500 Kelvin is a hot oven that severely burns you if you touch the tray directly. 1000 K is a nice campfire. 1500 K is the upper end of Magma. 2500 K is beyond normal blast furnace temperatures.
5000 Kelvin is ridiculously hot.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 weeks ago
Dare I say, unbearably so.

30°C in the summer is hot. I want my winter NOW. GET ME OUT
doofy77@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
It’s 30° in winter here.

Comments like this make .me angry even though I know you can’t actually make it happen
Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
The silly thing is comparing the ‘temperature’ of one’s love to it. I mean I get poetic overstatement and I get his idea is to melt the heart of his woman of desire, however this is maybe a bit too literal.
He should read up on Baudelaire

Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
You certainly don’t need 5700k to do that. Garden variety Summer is enough, every year.
MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
That’s not a metaphor, it’s a comparison, which is when you state a difference between two things.
samus12345@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Saying that your love burns hot is a metaphor, because love does not burn.
