Bill Nye holds patents as an inventor, including an improved toe shoe for ballerinas, a device to easily pick up a baseball, a water-based magnifier and a digital abacus that does math with only binary numbers.
He came into my class to teach do a guest lecture. Rambled incoherently about space and with bad science then tried to turn it inspirational and gave up after 15 minutes at most and left unceremoniously. It was a waste of time for those of us there to study physics.
And then he was a guest speaker at an event, absolutely took over and made the night entirely about him. Was a douche about water straight up called me a moron in front of hundreds of people because he asked a question poorly and I lowered my hand.
A professional friend in the planetary science space who is far to old to be a fan, hates him from a birthday party for ray bradbury so he’s been a douche for a while and not just to fans
I had him for my college graduation and I felt privileged to have someone who had such a large impact on my childhood there. Really great speaker and definitely gave off the cool vibe. I didn’t get to meet him 1-1, but I think a lot of it is subjective, how the person is that day, and the setting. Obviously if someone has done terrible things, especially sexual or abusive, they don’t get a pass.
Met Bill Nye the science douche and yeah… anyone that wants to be as famous as that probably should have expected them to not be a good person.
Man he was totally cool when I met him. Probably when you’re famous you have days when you can handle people coming up to you and days you can’t.
Einstein was an extremely grumpy cousin fucker also
I knew ghandi. He was a prick. I saw him sucking down a pork hot dog hitting on Mother Teresa.
Wouldn’t surprise me. The hypocrite got more ass than the pope

It’s a Robin Williams joke from his special live on Broadway not long after 9/11. Legendary set
Yeah but cusin thing was cool back then
When Bill Nye comes up with something as good as e=mc^2 he’ll get a pass too.
Hahaha
Rumors are he allegedly sucked even back when he still worked at Boeing.
There was a time he was entertaining, a time before the big time.

I’ve also heard that people are really weird around him. Childhood fans asking really esoteric science questions about their fields.

So… You didn’t meet your hero.
