I've followed Demi for a long time and he's loving hilarious, was glad when I saw him in the trailer for this

Follow-up numerical presentation: measuring time in units of 60 and 24 is a mistake and we should switch to units of 100 and 10

That could be fun, but I'd also swerve and say F > C for daily life temps.

This is an opinion shared by everyone who grew up with F and disagreed with by everyone who grew up with C.

People are just really good at convincing themselves their familiarity bias has a logical justification.

But in this case the latter people are actually wrong because of their familiarity bias and the former are not

Fair, but the heel turn from going rah rah metric to "but actually 70F is better than 20C" is worth the argument.

I watched the first episode of Smartypants because of Demi. I have never seen a Dropout thing before!!!!!

Well, the Demi part was very good. I wasn’t bothered about the rest. I didn’t enjoy how there was so much cutting to everyone else laughing. Like yes we get when it’s meant to be funny you don’t have to point it out so much. Weird especially when they would cut to the host who is just idk sat alone by herself. I think generally the editing was my biggest issue, it felt very focused on not letting the jokes speak for themselves. Anyway maybe I will never post in this thread ever again so goodbye everyone

promising first episode, hopefully the producers can get grant to stop interrupting the presenters as the season progresses
truly a fantastic presentation and I adored that bit, Grant's a good sport for being a deliberate heel.

Between his "beef" with the crew and his bits on Breaking News, Grant is a great heel.
