Wait, I saw this. I posted a video of someone in the crowd telling you they were a vet and then said “Well, some of this may not be true…“Then that made me laugh.
Yes, of course.
I usually start presentations by saying I have a degree in chemistry, and then ask who has another degree. If anyone has a higher level chemistry degree or from a better university, I’m cooked.
What’s the worst harassment you’ve ever gotten?
I had a show in progress last Sunday, and I was making a joke about exothermic reactions.
This is the joke where you ask if the audience wants to hear about exothermic reactions and then they tell you so You don’t have the energy.
Yes, and in my head, I swear it’s true. But I heard a little voice say, “Actually, I think if you change that to… Activation energy“It will work much better.”
Okay, fair, but your plan works too, so…
I do one joke where I draw Line of best fit. In Edinburgh, I drew it as a straight linear line to the best of my ability, and then, after the laughter had died down, someone shouted and said: “Indeed, it is Exponential curve of best fit“.
What’s worse is that I’ve made this joke several times and it wasn’t until someone said it that everyone in the audience was like, “Yes, they’re right.” It’s like Oh no, I’ve done this joke 20 times…
Do you think your groups are educational? Or at least informative?
Maybe a little. But maybe I’ll put that energy into other things. It’s like I’m currently writing a book about the periodic table, which is like a book for little kids. So they are between 10 to 15 years old. And this is actually really educational in that I break the book down into groups of the periodic table, and then I associate each group with its properties and properties as an element, and then I kind of imagine them into characters that correspond to those properties. That’s why He is Educational. But it might lead to the production of more educational content like the book, I hope.
