If you are, so am I. I was part of the BBS scene, and it didn’t survive the transition to the internet. I’ve never felt so well-understood since then. Sometimes I dream about the LAN parties and summer picnics.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED.

Your friend is not for taking seriously.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere?
0·2 months agoThat’s not really much of a concern unless you aim satellites directly at it. There’s plenty of space in space.
You can wash it off. Just hold the duster under a tap and run cold water over it.
My wife uses an ostrich feather brush. It carries an electrostatic charge that holds the dust.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal?

Please, article writer, be a little more passive-aggressive.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Could gunpowder be chemically addictive for humans ?
0·3 months agoAnd in the early days they obtained the potassium nitrate by boiling shit. Might be the opposite of addictive.
I don’t hate it, but my personal experience has been that it’s not reliable enough to depend on. I don’t like that it’s being pushed on us so hard when it will routinely let us down.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If WW3 breaks out, what countries are going to be on which side?
0·3 months agoI’m from New Zealand. We’ve traditionally been a US ally but the situation being what it is at the moment, I think there’s a good chance we’d try to stay neutral.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How will the Military be after this mess with Trump?
0·4 months agoThey might not want to do it, they might feel there are better things to fight for, they may have heavy regret signing and volunteering for the military knowing who the president is. But they do it anyways.
Do you maybe mean the opposite of respect? Because that seems more logical.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why aren't people harassing marketers?
0·4 months agoOne thing I’ve noticed is that boomers think that if you disagree with them, it means you must be younger than them and therefore wrong.
If you’re older than a boomer, your arguments tend to consist of. “Speak up! Why can’t you speak up? No, I don’t need a hearing aid. I need you to speak up!”

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather?
0·5 months agoLike they’re unironically wholesale swallowing cultural domination.
Did you somehow get the idea that northern hemisphere countries own Christmas traditions?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather?
0·5 months agoI’ve seen a mall Santa. He was inside, in the air conditioning, so I think he was okay.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How are computer chips designed?
0·5 months agoAfter this exercise I’m left wondering how are new chips designed nowadays considering that there are billions and billions of microscopic transistors in a modern chip?
You have to use one, to design one.
A condom.
Apart from the obvious use, you can carry water in it if there’s an emergency.
