Technically correct, the best kind of correct. Also, this is trolling.
He could also shoot himself in the head. The surprising part? He’s still there. Maybe not much alive, but still there.
I think he deserves an award for being possibly the stupidest human being alive, like a reverse Nobel.
it’s a joke. the planet isn’t going anywhere. we and other life is.
edit: ah no he’s just an idiot. didn’t know who he is
Are the ignobels still a thing?
Ignobels had or have a different goal.
Okay, I hadn’t heard about them in forever, and honestly couldn’t remember WHAT exactly their goals were.
Same here, although they where/are still research related IIRC. Not given to people like in the posted screenshot.
Got tired of wondering lol
Everyone seems to be taking this seriously. Am I the only one here that reads this as sarcasm?
Poes law
True, but I often feel like people use Poe’s law as an excuse not to engage mentally. It’s really uncharitable, actually.
Like, I can hold the view “is sincere” and “is sarcastic” in my mind simultaneously until something confirms or denies one.
And it’s not like it matters that much. If he’s sincere, I’ll say "wow, that’s crazy, " and if he’s not, I’ll say “wow, that would be crazy.”
[e] Just to clarify, I see now he’s a Fox news contrib. So, he’s paid to be nuts.
You might also be the only on here who didn’t read his bio.

It’s the second time I’ve seen this tweet in 24h, and I still can’t believe this isn’t meant to be ironic.
I’m almost impressed by how dumb this guy is.
I thought he was making a joke, I actually laughed, fucker was serious? Fuck off with that.
What?! It isn’t?
I had to double-check to make sure; but no, it isn’t.
Jesus Christ I hope he spends a day in a room with venusian CO2 levels and “totally innocuous” firework debris.
Milloy has been spouting denial for decades, but this might be the dumbest thing I’ve seen him say yet.
“But the planet is still there.”
Check and mate! I feel so PWN3D. You see? If you don’t mind not breathing, carbon dioxide isn’t so bad after all!
it only said to the planet not anything living on it
Ask Elon to shoot him to Venus for a brighter future. Plzzzzzzzz!
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you melting
I only wanted to see you
Melting in Venus’ acid rain
Little dead mankind
Baby you’re much too oxygen-dependent
oh, and the atmosphere on venus is mostly sulfuric acid. No big deal.
The pressure alone would probably kill you if you didn’t suffocate first.
It would most definitely kill you.
BUUUTT, you are able to exist there.
briefly
but still, you would exist. Even though transiently.
Oh. Earth will be fine, then? Now we can breathe easy.
Nah, breathing will be really difficult. Planet’ll be fine. Doesn’t mean life living on it will be.
Care to post some Venusian blurbs to drive your point?
This is just a recycled George Carlin bit.
It’s still funny.
yep. technically correct, the earth will probably still be here no matter what. we won’t.
