Dramacels, !spacechads, what are some of the most ludicrous, possibly wrongful and reddity pop sci videos/channels you've come across?
My thumbnail example is a Kursgesagt video about Terraforming Venus.
I know they try to make it as “scientifically sound” as possible, but the whole idea sooooo incredibly far-fetched, it involves building giant planet size mirrors to cover sunlight from Venus so the CO2 in the atmosphere freezes, followed by harvesting nitrogen from Titan and removing all the frozen CO2. Not to mention water from Europan ice and another giant mirror to provide day/night cycles (as Venus is almost tidally locked).
Another is their Dyson sphere video
Which includes disassembling Mercury
They also have these pop physics videos where they try to convey some “deep” philosophical ideas like this one.
@Geralt_of_Uganda I remember you made a thread on them once

Lmao you can only be a sovereign state if you have nukes. That's why the best Koreans wanted them so bad.

I think they did come out and apologise for the excessive preachiness a few years back. Since then they've only really been doing space-based clickbait though.

I remember watching their “so you will die” video and it just became “like you should pave the way for humans to travel to space dude” and i have no interest in that and wont after i die. Im interested in the whole ceasing of consciousness thing and the only thing that provides a semblance of relief is religion

At this point why don't we just cut off everyone's hand so we can't fight anymore?
