A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, 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 spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust 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.

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.

Here’s mine:

Mozart had a pet starling, and when it died he arranged for a full funeral and burial, and composed a poem in memory of his bird, which he read at the service.

OP similar to yours Chuck Blazer, the guy at the heart of the FIFA scandal leading up to the 2022 World Cup, died of cancer and left a Manhattan apartment worth millions to his 19 cats.

Atlanta Georgie is further west than Detroit Michigan.

Alaska is the US’s Western and Eastern most state. When you overlay Alaska onto the lower 48 states, Alaska stretches from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida.

During WW1 there were 12 battles of the Isonzo River and pretty much all of them ended in a tie.

A hard hat diver in the UK oil filed by the name of Chris Lemon was diving at 330 feet, when an accident snapped his umbilical hose. That caused him to lose his breathing mixture.

He survived for 35 minutes with no oxygen.

It is certainly longer, with the maximum time estimates at 48 minutes. What makes that debatable is how long he nursed his back up tank. He knew he was going to pass out and drift with the currents, so he attached himself to the oil rig.

Talk about being cool under pressure!

He had no ill mental or physical effects of the event and later resumed his duties as a deep sea diver.
