More of an An Idiot Abroad fan myself, but good pick

Aviandelight, in As an adult, what seemingly childish things do you get excited about?
@Aviandelight@mander.xyz avatar

Seeing the moon and stargazing in general. Oh and everytime I see a picture come back from the Perseverance Rover. I just look at them in absolute wonder and still find it unbelievable that we have clear pictures coming back from Mars. Every new picture is like Xmas for me.

Donebrach, in Would a perfectly flat, tight sail on a boat be more efficient than a sail like we all know?
@Donebrach@lemmy.world avatar

think in the inverse: is a spatula better at serving liquid than a ladle? You’re trying to capture the kinetic energy of a fluid using a sail.

jeffhykin, in Can external dopamine intake influence one's logic and reasoning?

If you want scientific details, look-up longitudinal studies on cocaine addiction and treatment. There are some surprising scientific insights on dopamine

SupraMario, in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

Project Lazarus…and steins gate has already been said but both are fantastic.

RBWells, in how similar are other North American countries to USA??

I think yes we are all more similar than different but as you move north, there is less income inequality and better social services, less graft and corruption.

Supermarkets in the US are like nowhere else, they are incredible.

Supermarkets in the US are like nowhere else

Umm, we have the same stores here in Mexico. Lol Like, they’re stocked to the brim and huge.

But I will say that I like shopping malls better in Mexico. They feel more authentic, more stylish in a way, and unique to one another. Midwest shopping malls seemed so bland to me for some reason and they all followed the same layout and used similar construction materials.

Also, I’m not sure about “better social services”. They’re not exactly bad and they are comprehensive. We get plenty of good social services down here. For example, our Senate just passed a bill to create free universal healthcare for pets today that we already had for free or at low cost in other ways. We’re no strangers to varying degrees of socialism.

nvermind, in You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

I visited Molossia a while ago, dude was awesome and super friendly. Plus the weather in Molossia is always perfect, although with the close borders with Nevada sometimes the bad weather from the US bleeds in.

Rentlar, in You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laàs#Principality_of_Laàs

Being in a temperate part of France sounds pretty great, especially if I got a room in Chateau de Láas.

CubbyTustard, in You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand

Sealand, might be able to trade a Dukedom for the right supplies

peto, in You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

Are there any good ones? Am I allowed to launch a coup?

nodsocket,

You can launch a coup.

SgtAStrawberry,

Well Jämtland is Jämtland, but there is nothing wrong with that one. Really nice place, the biggest town is lovely, if you don’t like the city ther is plenty of smaller towns, villages and cabins in the woods. They even have there own famous lake monster.

I would recommend against the coup, but if you gave your mind set you can probably find some new friends there to help you.

cheese_greater, in You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

Can I afford it if I choose some place like Monaco?

nodsocket,

No guarantees on money but you can’t leave. Also Monaco doesn’t count because it’s a city state and is internationally recognized.

cheese_greater,

K fine, SeaLand but it better have internet and proper food. Also I’m bringing my pets and Imma need AmazonPrime and all the credit I can eat

bionicjoey, in What is something you watch/do but not for its intended purpose?

Sometimes I watch NSFW ASMR videos in order to trigger my ASMR.

Boozilla,
@Boozilla@lemmy.world avatar

Seems like a lot of folks may do the opposite.

Wait…did the joke just whoosh over my head? It whooshed, didn’t it.

bionicjoey,

I mean my answer was half-joking, so I guess you get a half-woosh (woc). Like yes, I do sometimes do what I said above, but everyone watching these videos understands that they serve 2 purposes

theKalash, in Would reverting back to tribes or city-states not be sufficient to save us from ourselves?

You know how many random cities wold have nuclear weapons in that case?

This would just be a speed run to self destruction.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

How many cities would even be capable of having any?

theKalash,

Probably none, so even if they wouldn’t fuck around with them, the accidents due to lack of maintainance would be terrible already.

Tremble, in how similar are other North American countries to USA??

Well, both other countries have universal health care although usa has death mass shootings, Canada apparently has death panels and Mexico has death cartel violence? Also Mexico seems to be allowing migrants to wait at their border to apply for asylum because everyone knows that the usa caused most problems with refugees and asylum seekers here.
