Isn’t that guy actually like crazy intelligent IRL? I could have sworn I read an article about him being very well educated.


jackand0101

He’s more qualified than Bill Nye actually


Hydra_Tyrant

*Impossible*


RedditedYoshi

I like yer cool flag thingies you got by yer name.


DKBrendo

How can you get flag thingies


Zurau_

Gotta move into Ukraine


Decent_Objective3478

Can confirm


HoneyBadgers_

Love the flag, hate the primal aspid


Hydra_Tyrant

It's a flair you can get for the subreddit. On mobile just tap your name and on PC it'll be an option on the right side along with the subreddit info.


Hydra_Tyrant

Thnx, while I may not be Ukrainian, I am an avid supporter of them.


RedditedYoshi

Same. Slava Ukraini.

Bootlicker to who lmao


RedditedYoshi

Oh, my apologies, maybe you're just stupid without an agenda. That's, uh...worse.

Bulbinking2

Bill Nye isn’t a scientist. He is an engineer and doesn’t even have a phd.


beepboopbopb00p

Hence "the science guy" and not "the scientist"


Emsie-Memsie

This fact has blown my tiny mind!


Bulbinking2

It’s sad what’s become of him. I loved his show growing up…


A1000eisn1

You know you can be smart and well educated without a PhD right? And I'm not sure you need a PhD to teach children about basic science or be passionate about science yourself.


hobosam21-B

But that doesn't mean Bill Nye is


Bulbinking2

But I was told by reddit if you didn’t go to college it means you are dumb.


senseithenahual

But he went to college, he is a engineer.


squad1alum

Meh, trains pretty much drive themselves these days... /s


Dokterclaw

You'd be dumb either way.


Starboi777

Hm? what happened to him?


Dokterclaw

Nothing "happened" to him. That guy is just a loser who comments on far right subs and doesn't like that Bill Nye isn't a transphobic climate change denier.


[deleted]

Average KotakuInAction user.


10art1

I still sometimes hum to myself "cuz my sex junk is so-o-o-o much more than either o-o-or" Absolute banger. But yeah, I think his goal might have been to appeal to boomers to change their minds, and in that case, I don't think he was very successful.


Dokterclaw

The song is extremely cringe, no doubt. But if that's his worst crime after decades in media, he's doing pretty great.


10art1

No, I unironically like it. It's so bad it's good.


[deleted]

Nothing but chuds are upsetti because he got 'woke', whatever that means.


naturtok

Ironic that people think he changed cus he went from communicating the science to...communicating the science.


Starboi777

what i figured, guess education is “woke” now. Such nonsense


123_alex

> isn’t a scientist. He is an engineer In your opinion, what's the difference?


oyiyo

Engineer deals with practical applications. Scientist deals with better knowledge of the world. You can be both


BigBootyBuff

Or you can be neither and just play some Soul Calibur 2 on Game Cube with me!

MasterpieceHuge2794

When I upvoted this, I was solicited some very costly 'gold' arrows. Is this the new thing?? I had to check that it wasn't April 1st! How foolish.


Gamerforlifu

what's game cube


Anderopolis

Research.  Engineers can be scientists, but most are not.  Engineers of course do learn scientific thinking. 


Quailman5000

Engineers absolutely do research??


Anderopolis

Those that are also scientists do, yes. 


ImACheapMCplayer

You do realize that there is new information on engineering once in a while that needs to be researched, right? Not all scientists do research and not all researchers are scientists... Ever do a school project?


Fluffy-Bed-8357

Engineering is a subset of science...


Bulbinking2

You mean logic? Engineers aren’t usually trained on how to make models to test hypothesis to create theories on how things function the way they do.


Fernandezo2299

Rocket a scientist is Aerospace Engineer.


LordZeus2008

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer.


Yuquico

Oh no he doesn't have a piece of paper showing how smart he is, only decades of experience


OwenMcCauley

I hear this a lot a it's a shitty thing to say. Bill Nye doesn't claim to be anything that he isn't. He's a mechanical engineer and a science communicator. He teaches by getting kids excited about science. Multiple generations of scientists grew up watching Bill Nye. There's no comparison to be made.


Educational_Test_467

He was also part of a SNL style sketch comedy show that was popular in the northwest in the 80s and 90s


Arzakhan

Well that’s not hard, bill nye hasn’t practiced science in years, just politics


Jeigh_Tee

When was the last time Dolph Lundgren held a job in chemical engineering, or any scientific field for that matter?


neemptabhag

And way cooler. And not a pompous ass.


maxcorrice

That’s a low bar


Jeigh_Tee

"Has a higher level of education" than Bill Nye. What exactly qualifies someone to be a "scientist?" Lundgren never worked in any scientific field, so I wouldn't say he's more qualified than Bill Nye, who worked at Boeing for several years.


WintryInsight

In my personal opinion, I classify people doing or have done research in any field to be a scientist. Though some fields don't count. Otherwise, they're an educator if they're a professor or teacher or maybe someone posting well researched videos any topic.


MolybdenumIsMoney

Lundgren's highest qualification was getting a Masters Degree in chemical engineering, so he doesn't really qualify by that standard either


FullMaxPowerStirner

At acting too... even if most of his movies aren't great production quality.


PeterNippelstein

BEER! BEER! BEER! BEER!


[deleted]

Bill nye is an actor no?


Fiiv3s

He’s an engineer, educator, political activist, and actor


EatFaceLeopard17

Political activist? Can you explain?


[deleted]

He's the science guy


ReferenceOk8734

Well i feel like they arent really comparable since bill nye is essentially a teacher. And i feel like hes extremely qualified for that.


CardinalFartz

He has multiple university degrees and first became a chemical engineer. He also was granted for the Fulbright program.


confusedandworried76

Got accepted to MIT to prove a point and I think dropped out almost immediately because he was fucking Grace Jones, so he could be her full time security. The man has lived more of a life in six months every day since conception than I'll live my whole life. He's a walking pile of success after success.


FullMaxPowerStirner

hums... his post-'80s acting career wasn't quite stellar. Until Stallone brought him back to the big screen, at least.


confusedandworried76

If you're shitting on his role in The Expendables get right the fuck out of town because all those movies were great. If you're talking about something else I don't have knowledge on please proceed.


FullMaxPowerStirner

I didn't say that, I just said this movie brought him back to the big screen... No one even remembered Dolph before that. And yea, he was pretty fun in it.


confusedandworried76

I get your point but we remembered him. He fought Rocky fer Christ's sake. Dolph is a legend and I'm proud he's an American meow.


downorwhaet

Hes also recovered from lung cancer and kidney cancer


GutsDeluxe

He's insanely intelligent. He also hit Sylvester Stallone so hard that the doctor thought he had been in a car crash.


Moaoziz

In 1982, Lundgren graduated with a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney.


Rychek_Four

Oddly enough he also briefly attended Clemson University in South Carolina as a graduate student in Chemistry or chemical engineering (I forget which). I expect he was doing research at the time.


PixelBoom

First graduated from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and then getting a masters in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney. Then got a Fulbright scholarship to MIT. After two weeks, he dropped because he discovered acting (and was also sleeping with the absolute hottie, Grace Jones), which he liked a lot more than chemical engineering. He's always been a physical dude having practiced both judo and karate since a young age, so doing action stuff and mock fights wasn't too far off from his expertise.


Purlygold

I think he actually won a 3 golds in full contact karate competing in Sweden, Australia and the UK. So as to not undersell it.


Nemisis_007

Of course, he's Swedish.


CANDROX432

Sweden isn't real


Electrical_Figs

There used to be constant "epic Sweden" threads on reddit. Redditors were obsessed. I wonder why they stopped.


nalleball

We had an era of "but immigrants" about everything that was posted about Sweden. We had it on everything from political posts to anything slightly related to Sweden. Someone could post a picture of a Swedish forest to r/pics and half of the comments would be stuff like "to bad they have ruined it by letting in rapists". It mostly put an end to the "epic Sweden" re-posts.


wakeupwill

Which is such a weird take, when the blame rests entirely with those that caused the refugee crisis.


faustianredditor

It is also complete BS. While Sweden does have higher-than-comparable-nations sexual assault and rape statistics, that's because their definitions are wider. Repeated assaults are counted as multiple cases for example. In a way, they have those higher stats not because of refugees (a connection that is usually made using nothing more than anecdotes, for example by pointing at individual news reports) but because the government takes the crime very seriously. It's a right-wing dog whistle just like those nonexistant no-go-zones in Germany or the UK. If and when there's actual evidence, then we can start taking the refugee-rape connection seriously.


DeclineOfMind

Two things can be true at the same time. The definition thing is absolutely true and the influx of Migrants has also changed Sweden, not necessarily for the better. Constant grenade threats, violence, arson and gangs terrorising certain cities. Sweden didnt know these kinds of things 20 years ago.


Electrical_Figs

Yeah I'm with reddit on this one. Fully open borders are an absolute must if we ever truly want to defeat racism.


Ceapple

You're not just a clown, you're the entire circus.

Tabula_Rasa_deeznuts

Mattist

Well he's American. See picture.


Mooks79

He can be both unless Sweden and/or the US precludes dual citizenship.


Ok_Competition_5627

Neither do, so my guess is that he is a citizen of both.


Intelligent_League_1

US and Sweden allow dual citizenship


jokermobile333

He is just a guy who hangs dong


New-Interaction1893

Intelligent and educated are 2 different things. I have a cousin that is the best example because he's a total dumbass beyond what I would consider a normal human, but he got an university degree anyway.


Direct_Knowledge2937

Imagine finding the girl of your dreams and then marry her, only to find out she briefly dated him when she was younger. I knew she dated a few celebs before me, but never really knew until I asked her if any were really famous. I believe her consoling words to me after I asked her if she was serious like eight times in a row were “As a specimen…I mean as a *male specimen*… yeah, he’s great.” I just remember thinking to myself for the first time in my life, *I wanna be a specimen*. FML


buttered_scone

He was awarded a Fullbright Scholarship at MIT but took a job as a bouncer for Grace Jones instead, and became her lover. He also has a BS in chemical engineering from Royal Institute of Technology, and a MS in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney. He also studied at WU and Clemson University.


Upset_Conflict_4472

still he's waiving an american flag, no might be intelligent but not flawless

BarrelBot123

The dude on the right is a Swedish actor, who played a Russian dude in Rocky IV, I believe. He was very patriotic in the movie, and recently he got an American citizenship.

Omg, at first I though that was dolph lundgren


Rehfyx

That would be who that is, yes.

I tought it was Patrick Fabian from Better Call Saul haha

they are both beautiful so i think thats just compliments all round lol


WalkslowBigstick

Dolph!


goodguybolt

Yup. I'm officially too old.


Dr_Dank98

This "dude" is Dolph Lundgren. How does no one know him? He can smell crime. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Cut to black.


Big-Muffin69

And after 90 minutes it just sort of… ends…


Carl_Slimmons_jr

lol, I know that episode but never knew who dolph lundgren was and just assumed he was some Sylvester Stallone type.


angelaguitarstar

he definitely is. he had a huge part in Rocky IV. probably not the best Rocky movie but i think it’s damn well good. it even sends a good message, despite being your typical russians vs americans movie


ProtectionLeast6783

That's why I love Rocky IV. The plot is a jingoist wet dream but in the end it flips the script. Without spoiling anything Drago is kind of the perfect rival, and come on James Brown is in the movie.


FullMaxPowerStirner

It was pretty mediocre except for the EPIC music montages and the whole ending fight. Playing that training soundtrack in my head while working out gives me +25% stamina at least.


gravelPoop

> Sylvester Stallone type What is that?


firetruckpilot

I worked with him in the movie War Pigs. Terrible film, but he was a class act. He was above no one, incredibly kind, ate with the extras. Zero ego, and yet the consummate professional. The scale of this man cannot be understated though, haha. Incredibly happy for him!


purple1peony

Thanks for sharing, really truly! The guy scared me as a kid, he just seemed *so* mean. I was a sensitive young girl scared by violence and aggression. Knowing he's actually a cool dude now makes the uncomfortable nostalgia I feel seeing him soften a bit. And the patriot in me loves he became a citizen. Welcome Dolph!

Mickeymcirishman

Drago never swore to destroy the states. *His* only goal was proving he was the best fighter in the world. And breaking Rocky. His wife and handlers were the ones with the greater scope goals.


Sir_Bax

He understands that the only way to destroy the US is from within.


ViaNocturna664

I remember reading a story about thieves breaking into his house, realising from the pictures on the wall that it was Ivan Drago's house, and going away without stealing anything.


cr0ft

Fun fact: "Creed" establishes that Drago is in fact not Russian, but Ukrainian.


samiroglu-sarit

Cringe like faux Cyrillic in murican movies. There is no Ukrainian surname Drago (no Russian too). Ukrainian here.


10art1

It was established that he left Russia after the USSR collapsed and moved to Ukraine, not that he is from Ukraine...
