    Today is your lucky day. Since I’m in a good mood, let’s see if you’ll put your money where your mouth is.

    I will reveal my real name, my PhD thesis, with a link to the university linking to my thesis. Here’s the bet: if I can prove it (that I have a PhD in particle physics from a prestigious university of top 10), you pay me one whole fucking bitcoin. If not, I’ll pay you one bitcoin.

    We’ll find a betting platform (of your choice if you wish) where we deposit these bitcoins into a multisig address with a referee. One of us wins based on the bet.

    Are you gonna put your money where your mouth is? Or a dick where you learn not to open your mouth next time?

    What do you say?

      Not sure if this is a bit or if you’re a world-class example of people so specialized that they have deluded themselves into believing they are experts in everything because of how special their specialization made them feel in college.

      I have a PhD in particle physics

      What does that have to do with your claim to be an authority on the reality of climate change?

        At least I’m a freaking physicist. I understand statistics and math. You believe freaking ecologists for crying our loud! Anyone who talks for climate change is believed, and anyone who is against it is questioned. Wtf does Bill Nye or Tyson have to do with climate change? Yet somehow no one tells them “stfu, this isn’t your field”. They’re just “TV”. No one even comes close to researching this matter before spitting out a dumb opinion to avoid peer pressure.

        But suddenly when someone disagrees, now they lose all their credentials and it isn’t their specialty.

        This game is being played on a global scale. So don’t play the game “specialty and field”, because a monkey agreeing with you can become an authoritative source from what I saw. All you have to do is silence everyone who disagrees with you. I’m not silenced yet, and I have an opinion, and no one has to give a shit for all I care.

          So far your qualifications involve claiming you’re a “freaking physicist” and then begging for internet funny money. pathetic

          a monkey agreeing with you

          I know you’re a cryptocurrency rube already but spare us all your NFT collection, please. cryptocurrency dumpster-fire

            Well, I don’t need to beg. I have enough money for decades to come, unlike most people here who defend agendas made to make them poor forever. People who believe anything said on TV, and have big mouths with big confidence with zero responsibility. Exactly the kind of people who transmit bullshit to make themselves feel better and feel relevant in a world that discarded them like the pieces of nothing they deserve to be.

            Enjoy being poor while defending every reason that made you poor. No sympathy from me.

              Well, I don’t need to beg.

              Yet you just begged for internet funny money and begged to be praised for your imaginary Le Science Degree at the same time.

              Enjoy being poor while defending every reason that made you poor.

              Yep, cryptocurrency rube detected. susie-laugh

                It really is a great example of an expert not knowing how dumb they are in other topics.

                Ok, maybe we give him the benefit of the doubt and he knows something about particle physics.

                Good thing he immediately showed he’s a huge fucking dumbass in anything not related to that by being a crypto bro.

        See? The moment you’re required to be responsible for a word you said, you ran away… hahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha.

        Talk is easy. This is why climate change is mainstream, because dumb people with big mouths make their dumb opinions sound real with fake confidence. Now you know what your confidence is worth. Class dismissed.

            Perfect! I am an asshole, proudly so. Though if I were dumb I wouldn’t be where I am today. So your opinion means very little to me. Nighty night.

            • being dumb is exactly how you got where you are.

              having a PhD doesn’t mean you think critically or can evaluate literature anymore. and it definitely does not give you license to kick out of your coverage, like you’re trying desperately to do here…

              having your little credential just means your committee wanted you gone after 5 years of being an asshole and didn’t want to fuck the stats of whatever shit tier program’s orifice you oozed out of.
