I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.

Will I migrate from Lemm.ee to elsewhere? I don't know yet. If I do, you'll see here. If not, never stop questioning everything!

  • What do you think may be the clearest means of communicating information between people, and for what reasons?

    Jump

  • There are a lot of ways to interpret this question, it really depends on the information and the people.

    This is intentional. When I post to this AskLemmy community I try to frame my questions to fit its description:

    A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

    I fall back to more specific questions here when I can't find a relevant, active community to post to (or forget to look for one).

  • What do you think may be the clearest means of communicating information between people, and for what reasons?

    Jump

  • I was meaning any kind of information wherein clarity may be valued, so political information is a valid kind to consider for sure!

  • What do you think may be the clearest means of communicating information between people, and for what reasons?

    Jump

  • While I'm aware of Contact, and know it relates to people, do you really agree with that premise? Isn't the inconsistency in employed units of measure sufficient to indicate otherwise?

  • How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now?

    Jump

  • I think posters/flyers are one of the most powerful ways to reach people in a local area, you’ve got to be in the local area to see them, right?

    For sure in terms of locality, but not sure how effective they are in areas with lower foot traffic due to infrastructure. In a city this may work well, but does it also work as well in more rural, spread-out areas?

  • How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now?

    Jump

  • Follow-up: has anyone coming across this post started a local group, or helped with one starting out that could relate how they went about it?

  • If time were able to get tangled in knots, how do you imagine experiencing the knots would be like?

    Jump

  • Also, tangled knots happen in space. What kind of space can time get tangled within?

    Now that's another fun question! It also makes me wonder, how would space behave in tangly time?

    Would the space in which time gets tangled be primarily around extreme phenomena like black holes, or the very beginnings of the universe (or a universe, if one wants to get into multiverse angles)?

  • If time were able to get tangled in knots, how do you imagine experiencing the knots would be like?

    Jump

  • True! It is intentionally insufficiently defined to inspire and encourage imaginative replies!

  • If time were able to get tangled in knots, how do you imagine experiencing the knots would be like?

    Jump

  • But what if you witnessed your knot while a knot?

  • If time were able to get tangled in knots, how do you imagine experiencing the knots would be like?

    Jump

  • You don't think if time bent on itself you might be able to see events from before or after happening out of sequence around you?

  • How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now?

    Jump

  • Appreciate the advice for finding groups! However, my question is more about getting them started and handling outreach to keep them going.

    This does provide some insight into some venues that may be good for them, so thanks!

  • What news sources do you follow that offer different political perspectives from your own?

    Jump

  • To clarify, by news sources I mean this in broad terms, so from wherever you may get info about what's going on around you, or the world in general.

  • ohoho

    Jump

  • Ooh, I'd never heard of nor seen these before, thanks!

  • ohoho

    Jump

  • What are they?

  • I have 100 chokers, What is the best way to store them?

    Jump

  • Are the chokers somewhat adjustable to fit different size necks? Do you have any dislike or fear of giraffes? If yes and no, you might look into getting some giraffe dolls that are firm enough to basically wear and display the chokers and ease your selection.

    You could even slightly decorate the giraffes to help in sorting them, supposing the wearing of chokers wasn't enough for your tastes.

  • Linkin Rule

    Jump

  • There exists a position inside the earth where it is possible to cook a perfect pizza just by leaving it there

    Jump

  • Doesn't the Earth deserve the occasional pizzafice?

  • Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?

    Jump

  • Appreciate the example! It's when handling a DHCP range and the related CIDR notation that I tend to get especially muddled in this area. It certainly doesn't help that each router's interface and terminology tends to vary just enough to add uncertainty.

    Regardless, the comments here and more focus on this have helped clear some of this up for me.

  • How the hell do I sign up for facebook?

    Jump

  • What are shitboxes?

  • What are your opinions/impressions of top-level domains (i.e. .com & the like)?

    Jump

  • Appreciate the thoughtful reply! I can see where you're coming from in terms of opening TLDs up creating a bunch of issues, even though I do still enjoy the more playful ones despite that.

    It's honestly a little surprising that so many have been made available given the issues it can present, but I think that's largely a byproduct of approaching the internet less from a rigidly structured perspective and more of a loose informal perspective.
