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.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 31 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] endlesseden@pyfedi.deep-rose.org 5 points 2 months ago

why? money.

validity in our society is a popularity contest now...

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 4 points 2 months ago

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.

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.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

NDT wants to explain to you how much he knows, Bill Nye wants to explain the stuff so you know how it works too.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

But Beakman wanted to educate AND entertain. Plus, everyone should love Eliza Schneider.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I get the feeling he kisses himself on the lips in mirrors a lot.

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

At least once every couple years, it seems

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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..

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You just juxtaposed real-ass wisdom with bullshit.

Kudos.

anal/rectum wisdom, thank you very much!

[–] qualia@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Rich people don't run their own social media btw.

And counter-example: eskimo kisses (w/ eyelashes) checkmate!

Now I'm just picturing him kissing himself in the mirror over and over

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah... Wouldn't want anyone to miss out on this banger...

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

He probably won't be tweeting it again because when asked to recreate this tweet they moved the mirror and he kissed a bug.

Youtuber thumbnails when their video doesn't go viral in 20 mins:

[–] inari@piefed.zip 11 points 2 months ago

He clearly thought this one was a banger

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Something about the way he acts always gives me the ick. It feels like a mask.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

Absolutely I agree.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Neil Smokin DeGrasse Tyson forgetting what he’s already posted lol

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like to think that he... ah, what were we talking about again?

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't remember. But hey, did you know that in a mirror you can only kiss yourself on the lips?

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Reads like Narcissus being frustrated...

[–] PissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have tons of posts like this. Because I have memory issues for real.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Hehe, I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it 🤪
