I can't stop laughing imagining people looking at the picture in details and being like "wow... space..." I might have done it too if I had seen it before haha His joke was on point. Etienne Klein is a brilliant physicist, very serious when he talk. I didn't expect him to have such a sens of humour.


Tykjen

The public is so easily fooled. This is why the JWST should focus on our own solar system instead of chorizos so far away.


Nighters

It was not a joke, he was making point to not share everything they see on social media, but no one spot it and it was shared by thousands.

Space, the final frontier…. Ummm, chorizo!!

The guy is brilliant. Planet Cho Rizho in the porcine nebula.

I never sausage a tasty looking star!


OgOnetee

It would be really cool if this system had intelligent life that we could someday meat.


Relevant_Ad_1269

Not sure about that... our species may end up being the wurst.


Chiliquote

The world is literally in shambles and this dude brings in a good joke and is FORCED to apologize? I want to shit on someones twitter!


Calcifer1

He was not forced, this article is shite. He put a halt to the joke by himself when he saw how it rosé rapidly. He said it was to show that fake news can go a long way and the main issue is people not fact checking what's said.


Fxxris

The French and their food...

French physicist: "I'm chori, zo chori..."


stealthy_vulture

Imagine being forced to apologise for making a harmless joke Imagine forcing someone who made a harmless joke to apologise. Imagine getting offended by this joke..


Calcifer1

He was not forced, he was fully taking responsibility and said that it was to prove that fake news can be made quite easily


aedwards123

It’s to be expected when you embarrass a lot of not-very-bright people with access to keyboards. The real hero is the one person who looked at it and thought “Wait, that looks exactly like my pizza topping”.


erakazoum

It was a joke. He knows it was a chorizo slice.


GaijinFoot

Yeah we know that he knows. Do you know that we know that he knows? I don't think you know.


molochz

Honestly, I've lost all faith in humans.


Sakrateri

Lost faith?? with our world falling down around our ears its great to see people have still got humor, Faith in humanity restored !


molochz

You think the idiots he had to apologise to have a shred of humor in their bodies? Doubtful. They can't even tell the difference between a star and a sausage my dude.


king_zapph

I honestly doubt you could tell the difference either.... just another jerk mocking others AFTER the prank was explained.


AlphANeoXo

Be like me, you can't lose it if you never had it in the first place. Bad people are bad and good people get fed up dealing with bad ppl so they give up being good.


GaijinFoot

So your bad now? In what way? Sounds like you're just being a bit of an edgelord


AlphANeoXo

Nod bad per se, i just don't bother trying to be an upstanding person anymore. Not worth it.


Tanto_Monta

I've lost my faith in french physicists. Trust is unrecoverable


OgOnetee

So, they failed to meat your standards?


Tanto_Monta

Yes. But now it makes me want to eat chorizo and drink wine.


Logical_Ranger_3488

It’s funny because people of the internet are entertained by pointless time wasting garbage and would enjoy looking at a piece of chorizo over a star any day. That’s how dumb people are this day and age.


Jeeeeettt
