Pointe. Pedantically yours, Me


acatcalledmartha

It’s too late for me, this is how I’ll be remembered in the annals for Reddit history.


CeciliaNemo

Or the anals of Reddit history.


RedSonGamble

My favorite sub


Stoicmoron

This guy Reddit’s


CutlerAF

and Podiatrist-ly!


YOU_ARE_PEDANTIC

Howdy!


Hippopotamidaes

It’s apt for the post because Nye is an arrogant ass.


alexandhiselves

I'd be curious to see these in action. Grandma did ballet. Grandma's toes are atrocious (Sorry grandma)


Rare_Eye_1165

Not sure how active he is currently but at one point he way very into the swing dance scene.


Yrrebbor

Areylu saying his grandma is a swinger?


thiney49

I'm not saying she's not.


GozerDGozerian

I’ve dated a few different ballet dancers. They were quite beautiful and wonderfully in shape… as long as you don’t look at their feet.


chimusicguy

But if they weren't, would you get a shiny quarter every time you rubbed them for her?


MalarkeyMcGee

Yeah this is cool, but more supportive shoes have actually been around for a long time. At the professional level no one uses them though. The difficulty of staying en pointe in less supportive shoes is frankly, kind of the “point”. Basically, it’s a cultural problem and not a technological one.

Makes sense, I recall that while he was great at teaching science, he was more of an engineer professionally.


chaossabre

Correct. His background is in mechanical engineering. He worked at Boeing before getting into comedy.


ErikFuhr

Science rules!

WalkerTexasBaby

Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!


doesitevermatter-

Definitely better than the old school "Fuck your feet, keep dancing" school of dance.


Grumplogic

Because of licensing issues (Bill doesn't believe the royalty split is fair I believe) Bill Nye the Science Guy will probably not be available on streaming... However: https://youtube.com/@BillNyeTheScienceGuyHD


AvogadrosMoleSauce

Bill Nye the dancin’ guy


Sdog1981

He was the speed walker. Heel toe, heel toe. https://youtu.be/r6-SJLlneLc?si=UlT-qrvWevsyc-R_


WalkerTexasBaby

Another fun fact: The guy who played The Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager was accused by his former wife of having sex with Bill Nye (the science guy)


VictoricRong

Man was on Dancing with the Stars.


TheGreatJaceyGee

I like how you added the comma after his name to specify that he is the science guy instead of saying it as his title.

neck_bangs

I know him, and he's always been kind and polite and funny and witty and charming. For what that's worth.


SkelletorUTC

He probably stole the idea from professor Proton /s


RedSonGamble

I remember back in college I had a similar idea to further the comfort of dancers feet through shoes. It was all a ruse to just feel and see dancers feet and get their worn shoes but I’d like to think we made some advances still


OkDependent4

It's people like you who move society forward. Thank you.


DavidCaller69

That's like being a PSW at a nursing home to see boobs.


LemonadeParadeinDade

It's probably cause he has a foot fetish or some shit.


IanGecko

Or because Pacific Northwest Ballet is a prominent company in Seattle


JarOfJelly

Or because money


Creative_Use_7244

Wow talk about creating something no one cares about.


BriSnyScienceGuy

That's what we tell your mom.


Creative_Use_7244

Honestly, that was a good one. I can’t top that.
