Hank! I love @scishow.bsky.social and supported it when I could.

Maybe it’s just me as an aspiring astrophysics nerd, but I yelled β€œWhat the f*ck!” at the screen at a very specific point in the video.

That a neutrino could run into something so primordial is wild.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I got my @scishow.bsky.social postcards! I was about to add them to the Complexly/PBS/Kurzgesagt corner of my board when I saw last year's was postmarked. Was it actually cheaper to ship them in a padded envelope this year instead of mailing them all like normal postcards?

Got my @scishow.bsky.social post cards signed by Hank and my first thought was "who will I send these too," and not let's watch the exclusive video. The idea of these having postage tickles me. I may keep the hominin one. I knew that fact but it still fucks me up.
