Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I feel like people take these way too seriously, like some of these comments sound like it's personal. Its just a movie/book series if some one wants to poke some fun then just let em.
It's a scifi series, If in their universe sands can pass vibrations for a long range, they are welcome to do whatever they want.
yeah, I don't care if a fantasy universe is inconsistent with our standards and physics.
I only care if its blatantly inconsistent within its own rules.
I like NDT, but the dude just loves to shitpost constantly like this and its tiresome.
I think the problem is more that Tyson is "uMm AcHtUaLlY"ing in a way to try and be cool or funny, but it doesn't come off as cool or funny what-so-ever. It's just irritating.
If its irritating then why bother engaging with it. There is a point where you can just ignore it because in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't change anything (or at least it shouldn't).
Idk I think he does it in some misguided attempt to try to educate people. I agree it is obnoxious though.
