Agreed. Hank Green has Mister Rogers energy not Neil.
I feel Tyson cares more about the fame and being right instead of actually teaching

Anyone criticizing with "why do you put x on there but not y" allow me to introduce you to creating your own original content, you can put whoever you want on a picture! It's within your power!
I suppose that might direct the attention of people like you towards yourselves, and that would be awful wouldn't it?
Maybe think on the previous line a bit before you post your criticism, and ask yourself why you haven't made and posted the list the way you'd like it to be.
Reminds me of people harassing the Ladybird browser devs for declining a PR that changed "he" to "they" in the build steps. If you really cared, you would make meaningful contributions to the project before virtue signaling on a text file
Edit: as an aside, I know of an open source project that is only one or two steps away from being affiliated with Nazis. A transgender woman started contributing and now all those Nazi friends respect her. That's how you actually change minds - not by Reeing with zero effort.
Why did you use x and y in your example and not a and b? How am I supposed to accept x and y?!
If they include Sagan as Tyson’s predecessor, then why not Nye’s predecessor, Mr. Wizard?
Fair point. Someone please contact the Meme Council®.

Levar Burton>Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Yknow, that one you could almost get away with by finding some star trek visor clip art.
But, hey, I got my NDT gripes but I am 100 A-OK with him on here. This random meme from the Interwebz.
Dig this either way honestly.

Mr. Wizard gets no love. Also, I second the Hank Green > N. D. Tyson motion.
That's not how you take a heroic educator out of context, this is how you take a heroic educator out of context:
That can't be real, no chance. I refuse to believe it, regardless of context.
Honestly, the context is as innocent as everything else Mr. Rogers did. He was singing the song "Where is Thumbkin," which involves lyrics for each individual finger. There's pretty much no way to sing the song without doing that.

Oh my god, I remember that song from preschool. Jesus, you could not do that today, the kids would flip out.

Oooh y’know who they missed: Steve Irwin. Yeah we’re gonna need a part II.
Crap. Okay who wants to go back to the Meme Council®?
What did he teach? How to jump on any crocodile? How to annoy every animal? This guy was laughed at in Germany, I still wonder what makes him a hero in the US.
You've just insulted an Australian and I would gladly call you the c word but lemmy rules
I will gladly take the additional unt, because I probably deserve it! Have a nice day. :)
He got laughed at in germany because these illiterate fucks can't deal with subtitles and had to dub over it with a german australian accent. Of course he comes over as a joke.
Most of us actually can read english quite well.. it's usually the US guys knowing only 2/3 of one language. But yeah, lots of foreign tv shows get ruined by german dubs.
He taught us all life is beautiful. He taught us that we should appreciate the hell out of it.
Maybe this message got tainted a little by the fact, that he wasnt able to respect the animals. Whatever, may just be different cultures. Here we show love to nature by silently watching the animals, and to try not to interrupt them to much, but that doesn't make for a exciting tv-show.

Wow I'd buy and rock this on a shirt!!
Just goes to show how amazing PBS actually is. Most of the people listed on the shirt or in the comments had some kind of an affiliation with PBS. Support your local stations!
This is rad! The content and the design are just so satisfyingly excellent.
This is a great poster. Thank you!
(But perhaps embarrassingly, I don't recognise the top left guy.)
Mr. Rodgers!
Isn't bill nye a massive arse though irl
I'd be pretty pissed off all the time if I spent years trying to educate children just to watch more than half of them grow up to be complete morons.
Particularly if you’d been talking about climate change for several decades and getting mocked and ignored by morons.
I've also heard that he gets approached a lot by weirdos asking odd questions. Specifically, at one talk, during the Q and A portion, getting asked highly technical questions by adults who grew up watching him and expecting him to be able to respond. I wouldn't put too much weight on what randos on the Internet have to say about his character.
