If you walk forward inside a Shinkansen car while the train is moving at top speed, does your personal momentum actually compress the distance between Tokyo and Nagoya, or are you just changing the rate at which the track grid passes beneath your shoes?

If the mist settles over Lake Ashi at Hakone, does the reflection of Mount Fuji in the water happen at the same depth as the mountain’s actual height, or does the water level dictate the scale?

If it were suddenly revealed that a significant number of questions posted in this comm were ai bots would that bother you?

Community iconnostupidquestions@lemmy.world by

The purpose could be testing what passes for human or warming up accounts for later propaganda use or who knows what else.

Some say tech peaked in 2013 in terms of pre-enshitification. What year do you think it peaked and why?

Community iconasklemmy@lemmy.world by

EDIT: Enshittification, also known as platform decay, is a process in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to both users and business customers to maximize short-term profits for shareholders.

Why it is that in the USA for most people the default color for a casual sock is white but in most other places the default is black?

Community iconnostupidquestions@lemmy.world by

Not counting specific fashion trends or saying this applies to 100% of people. but why are those the default for the majority?

Is IPV6 better for youtube adblockers?

Community iconnostupidquestions@lemmy.world by

I’m trying to optimize my setup to deal with YouTube’s recent anti-adblock measures, and I heard that transitioning everything over to ‘IPV6’ is much better. It’s a completely different type of internet protocol that the ad servers can’t track as easily.

What do you think of the the Coke ON smart dispensers you see in the deeper alleys of Akihabara?

Community iconnostupidquestions@lemmy.ca by

It stands in the rain, offering a Coke without expectation of gratitude. Is it not the ultimate manifestation of omotenashi?

reply to: How do men make friends? in Ask@piefed.social

Same way anyone makes friends. Go to some kind of mixer or meetup. They are all over the place. There is one for people 60+ at my local library.
