    I like the progress as a science communicator that goes from unnecessarily grandiloquent and verbose to clear and concise.

    He’s not trying hard enough. You can touch tongues, too. No entwining, but maybe in the P-reversed universe, that’s just taboo.

      in the p!=np universe, you can even grab your booty a little bit before the mirror guards get mad (they don’t like PDA)

    I don’t understand how this is supposed to be some kind of gotcha or mind blowing realization. Isn’t it obvious to everyone older than 3yo in the entire world?

      Have you wondered why it is that products often have very obvious warnings?
      Not everyone out there is doing stupid things to try and get paid in a lawsuit, some are just that dumb.
      Remember that fad with people wondering why mirrors ‘knew’ what was behind papers?
      Some were just memeing, others were that scientifically illiterate.

    His excuse in interview is that he recycles certain tweets after follower milestones. He’s popular enough that there’s thousands of new followers who won’t have seen his tweets from years ago.

    He seems like the kinda guy who spends a lot of time trying to kiss his own ass. This is probably just his disappointment after trying.

      I’ve never really cared for NDT. Every time I’ve heard him talk or be interviewed it sounds like he thinks he’s the most important guy ever.

    I’ve noticed a lot of those big-in-microblogging folks have figured out what gives viral among their audience and just keep repeating it over and over in different forms.

    Why? Hooked on the validation? It doesn’t seem healthy.

      Its so sad when you return to a tiktok account you haven’t seen since 2020, and its 4 years of doing the same bit once a week.

      I mean, hes a public figure. Having an audience and being publicly seen is kinda good practice from a business standpoint. Of there are easy ways to do that of course public figures are gonna do them 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Does kinda suck though. But I dont think its very surprising.

    I recently got a flexy mirror on a stick, meant to look at difficult to find vehicle parts.

    Thanks for reminding me to inspect and floss my butthole with it too…
