Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Death

[killinchillin]

Sir, for the last time, do you want to add cheese to your burger or NOT!

[macx]

"So no officer, technically it wasn't necrophilia"

[jyavant]

The question was “How was your day today?”

[robertscotton]

The speech he gives his wife when she uses the “I’m too tired” excuse.

[eagleflyer]

“Thank you Neil, anyone else wants to talk on Johnny’s funeral?”

[virgil]

"I heard a bell ringing last night, sir."
"Well, where is the person, then? You were supposed to dig them up!"
"Gravestone was set for six years ago."
"Oh."

This hit home. My brother passed away following an accident and when I was told that he was "Brain dead" but was being kept "alive" on a ventilator so we could say goodbye, I couldn't comprehend the fact that he could be in two states at once. Denial stage of grief hit hard for a couple minutes when they told me

[eminem]

"What does it mean to be dead? I'll show you." *Neil starts reaching for his backpack*

[brianbaylark]

"Lemme pull some strings" has a new meaning for me now😂

[smartaleckduck]

The “are you dead yet?” At the end makes it seem like this is Neil explaining the concept of death to a victim as they lay dying, and Neil’s getting impatient

[petesevern]

What our friend neglected to add was that after someone was buried, that evening someone would sit in a chair right by the grave to listen for the Bell to ring.

And that's how we got the phrase "working the graveyard shift".

[sziyad]

Person:"are you dead serious?"

Niel:

[nikolaangelovski]

I like how he ended it with "ARE YOU DEAD YET!?"

[leggy]

The kid standing in front of the microphone who just wanted to know Neil's favorite flavor of ice cream: 😐

[brittish]

I will follow this man wherever he may go, he asks the important questions. Maybe postulate your own questions, but more importantly, find those answers! Have a beautiful and inquisitive day:)

[yessica]

This man explains things so simply that I understand but it's always things I wouldn't usually care to think about so my head hurts for a whole day after lol

[Brian-K]

"bruh I'm dead💀"
Niel D Tyson:

[cienciabit]

Imagine you ring the bell and the one above is listening music with noise cancelling headphones.

[Cycleone]

"We can be braindead, but your heart is still beating" unfortunately true
