        The nation's karaoke hosts implore you, please stop promoting the idea dropping a mic is a cool thing.

        FYI: Was a non-working dummy mic, dropped onto a cushion. I was separately lav’ed for sound in the Larry Willmore Show: 2016-01-27

        Actually Neil, what you're referring to as "mic drop" is actually a "mic pull," as the centrifugal force of the Earth's rotation creates a gravitational pull that draws the mic closer to its center rather than objectively "down" in a euclidean sense.

        Tyson has a penchant for being overly pedantic and pointing out scientific contradictions in things that nobody wants to hear. I'm poking fun at this. He's the guy you go see Star Wars with who sits there the whole time going "Well ACTUALLY in space it would work like..."

        Well I learned something new today. I thought gravity came from an object's mass curving spacetime into a gravity well, whether that object is rotating or not. Thanks for setting me straight.

        Yeah, he doesn't understand that the spin of the Earth would actually work against gravity, and that the two forces are otherwise unrelated. Maybe his total lack of understanding was the funny part? I don't know.
