I know I made a highlight thread yesterday but I have to extra-highlight this bit. this is shit a five year old would think was an own, and it's made worse since Norm clearly isn't putting in effort serving up name distortions to this freakazoid but here he's 100% trying to be clever. he's trying to do wordplay. he's failing strangelove-wow

Was Finkelstein getting Boticelli's name wrong on purpose

I don't think so. I think he genuinely couldn't force himself to care enough about Bernoulli to remember it.

No no no, Bernoulli was the one who floated ping-pong balls in the draft of a hair-dryer. You're thinking of Benelli.

If the comments (and my memory) I read on youtube or fridman's reddit can be trusted Norm got it right more often than not. I thought he added an unnecessary 'I' waayyy more often than he got it right, but I agree with dannoffs I also think Norm just couldn't be arsed to remember the moron's name.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
