Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Nobody has that much time in the morning, or they go to bed at 8PM.
I want to see celebrities walking around sweaty in a hot day. Show us the sweat takes!
Bad cell phone reception is also depicted wrong. But I’m not an expert.
Smashing your phone does not reliably disable it. Odds are the data is completely recoverable, and the device may not have even powered down.
Also ghosts. As far as we know ghosts are not real. Yet there’s an entire genre of movies about ghosts with varying rules.
The amount of trauma the human body can absorb is a bathtub curve based on your morality.
NYC should only ever be depicted with giant piles of trash everywhere.
Similarly, shooting the computer monitor won't do anything but make it so you can't see things!
(I liked how it flipped in Into the Spider-Verse - Miles takes off with the computer and monitor, and Peter catches up to him while they flee, and says "Good news! We don't need this" and chucks the monitor behind them)
Yeah, and what's up with all the flying people with super strength, and talking animals too? So dumb
Talking animals are real, but if you witness it you're in imminent danger and unlikely to live to tell the tale
Beg your pardon....
K wat now? :|

Or when someone goes down an alley in NYC. There are hardly any alleys in Manhattan. It's a tiny island and every inch of usable space is occupied. That's why there are piles of trash everywhere.
This seems more like a trope from the 70s-90s
as someone who walked past several giant piles of trash in Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Manhattan today, I must regrettably disagree
