  • 30°C is 303 Kelvin. Half of that is 151 Kelvin, which translates into a fairly mild -122°C!

  • If you had a kid, what name would you want to give to the kid but cannot ? And why ?

    Jump

  • It's interesting how Tina is a diminutive of many other names. This happens with its masculine counterpart Tino too, such as Tarantino, Costantino, and Martino. The diminutive of the name Elaine is Lanie, it's not exactly the same but similar enough!

  • If it was a girl, Elaine, but that would be weird because that is my name! 😂

    I'd never give them any names that they could be picked on for. So no unusual names such as X Æ A-12

  • Would you rather?

    Jump

  • Neither, since I'm a girl and everyone knows girls don't poop.

  • Which scene in a movie/series do you think didn't make any sense to the plot ?

    Jump

  • Ant-Man

    The first Ant Man had this rule where any objects that are shrunk will stay as the weight they originally were. Yet Hank Pym carries around a shrunken tank on a keychain! Scandalous!

  • Can you have a conversation with a stranger? do you have them often?

    Jump

  • Sure! I do it all the time when I'm either shopping or at the salon 😃 I love making people laugh or cheering them up!

    To OP - as others have said, you're doing it now! Not everyone may be comfortable with initiating conversations with strangers but it can be something you can gradually learn to become more comfortable with!

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?

    Jump

  • The ball, a red ping pong ball of maybe 1.5-2 inches diameter, is on a square, concave white, glazed ceramic plate that is on a rectangular matte white table that is plastic. I have no idea why the ball is on a plate but that's how it is when I imagine it for some reason. The entire room is white with a door on the wall that I am looking towards. The door slowly opens, and it is me (I'm a girl)! I look exactly like I do when I look at myself in photos. When I push the ball with my hand, it gets pushed off of the plate and lands on the table. It rolls toward the end of the table and bounces on the floor twice, making a noise you'd expect a ping pong ball to make when it collides with hard flooring. The whole scene looks like how a YouTube video of it being physically acted out would look like.

    I already knew after I read the prompt. It was like a little YouTube video playing in my head! 😃

    What are your favorite Pokémon attacks?

  • The Wayback Machine is back as a read-only service after cyberattacks

  • Glad to see it's recovering. I hope the whole archive can come back up soon!

  • What technology purchase felt like a major upgrade in your life?

    Jump

  • My current gaming computer. Besides a faulty wi-fi adapter that leaves online gaming a lot to be desired and failing HDD's because of old age, I haven't touched a physical console besides the Nintendo Switch in years. When you have a powerful computer you can emulate pretty much anything which I feel is an upgrade in comparison to a console which can only play games that are specifically made for that console.

    If you thought many PS3 and PS2 games looked beautiful before, my gosh...they look even more beautiful in 4K!! Bonus if they're able to go up to 60 FPS when they natively ran at 30 due to console limitations. Raytracing + HDR mods are always yummy too!

    What dessert or junkfood do you always keep in stock at home?

  • Potato chips/crisps!

  • What were you wrong about for a long time? How did you realize you were wrong?

    Jump

  • The pronunciation for the name "Byrne". I was pronouncing it like "by-ernie" as if I were excitedly saying "bye, Ernie! 😃"

    Then I found out it's pronounced like "burn"! 😂
