I met Bill in Boston on a trip to the Science museum. Perhaps we were annoying kids but I will never forget how much of a dickhead he was to everyone in my group including the teacher.
Fuck you, Bill Nye.
Bill Nye should host a New Year's Eve event and call it Bill's NYE

That’s a real shame. They say don’t meet your hero’s.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It’s true. I met my heroine and now I can’t quit her. 😣

He was a fav, then fell out of favor as being an ass to everyone. Then he had a comeback, now he’s an ass again.
WindyRebel@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’ve heard that he is an absolutely arrogant asshole from several people who I personally know that met him.

Interesting. He had a resurgence of popularity in the ‘10s. Watched some of his new content and remember being surprised by this egotistical, dysregulated old grump on screen, who was in a lot of ways the opposite of the man I watched on PBS as a kid. I kept it to myself but it seems every time I bump into him online it just solidifies that impression. Hope he gets the help he needs to get better.

Saw him last year, my sister dragged me to one of his climate change talks. Fairly worthless to anyone except children who don’t know what’s going on yet pretty much. The Q&A section was funny because it was entirely people asking him what they should do about it, and Bill just kinda shrugging with non-answers and irrational optimism. Good talk.

His target audience has always been children… how could you expect anything else?

Would they drop the Bill at midnight? Use some sort of maglev or other science, explain how everything should work, then countdown to Bill drops via science at Midnight! If there are multple ways, we have 24ish time zones.

If you contract him to work at an event for your company or group of friends in exchange of money, you’ll receive a Bill Nye NYE bill

He did. He made it into a movie. You can watch it. It’s called “Love Actually”

If 2000 didn’t get a party called Fun De Siecle, then you don’t get this.

I hope a few bars for queer people had “Y2Gay” parties at least.

I encountered Bill Nye on NYE once when I was like 13. He was walking out of a hotel as I was walking in. He looked agitated.
That’s the whole story.
