There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

yeah but fuck smartereveryday and his better than thou christian bullshit
Damn, I didn't know he was disliked ... wtf did he do (actually don't answer that).
He committed the sin of having a religion. He occasionally- very occasionally- mentions his Christianity in some videos. I don't recall any proselytizing, but I haven't kept up to date.
Huh, never noticed that in any of his videos, though I'm also not up to date with his content. Still, the videos stand on their own, I don't care about his personal views if they don't impact his works.
when has Destin ever been "better than thou"?
I'm not christian myself, hell I'm probably anti-theist at heart, but this is the guy who spoke at Skepticon about how his scientific mind and his religious mind coexist, and (according to this article) it was well received.
As much as I abhor Christianity I really don't think the SmarterEveryDay guy is the "holier than thou" type of Christian. He seems like the kind of jesus freak that I could actually sit down with and have a mutually respectful discussion and actually agree to disagree amicably.
Of course I only know about his youtube presence. If he's actually said or done bad shit outside of there, I'd like to know.
