Meet the 2025 #IgNobel Prize winners

Does #alcohol enhance one's foreign #language fluency? Do West African #lizards have a preferred #pizza topping? And can painting #cows with #zebra stripes help repel biting flies? These and other unusual #research questions were honored tonight in a virtual ceremony to announce the 2025 recipients of the annual Ig #Nobel Prizes. Yes, it's that time of year again, when the serious and the #silly converge—for #science.

Do West African lizards have a preferred pizza topping?
Does alcohol enhance one's foreign language fluency?
And can painting cows with zebra stripes help repel biting flies?

The Ig Nobels are a good-natured parody of the Nobel Prizes; they honor "achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think."

Adolf Hitler was nominated for the #Nobel Peace Prize in 1939. The nomination of #Hitler was meant to be ironical:

"The nomination of Chamberlain provoked Erik Brandt to nominate Hitler as a provocation against Hitler and #Nazism.

The result of the Munich Agreement was that the western powers stabbed #Czechoslovakia in the back by handing over Sudetenland to achieve #peace.

Nor #Chamberlain or Hitler deserved a Peace Prize..."

#ComputerScientist and #Nobel Physics Laureate #GeoffreyHinton: ‘#AI will make a few people much richer and most people poorer’
What’s actually going to happen is rich people are going to use AI to replace workers,” he says. “It’s going to create massive unemployment and a huge rise in profits. It will make a few people much richer and most people poorer. That’s not AI’s fault, that is the #capitalist system.”

Ma attenzione: lo stesso surreale personaggio che ha ordinato dalla sera alla mattina un bombardamento "preventivo" in #Iran con tanto di traversata oceanica dei bombardieri, ora creerà anche il "dipartimento della pace"

Dove?

Ovviamente alla #CasaBianca, come le colombe 🤡

Direi che a questo punto il #nobel ormai è come se lo avesse già in tasca 😂

Dude, you're NOT getting a #nobel prize! Okay, when I meet new #norwegian frens I have to say "Hallo! Navn min er Knut og jeg stemme ikke på Trump". You have to declare that in your introductions with Norwegians now. You do. So...no. You're very much not getting a prize. #trump #news nytimes.com/2025/08/30/us/poli
