What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

They're synchronising on a different wave length.

I don't know how else you'd "synchronise differently"?

You've changed the tone. It's a new thing. A different thing playing.

Yet at no point were the instruments out of sync.

I'm not arguing psychedelics don't desync the brain (I feel the do sort of retune the instrument as it were, only for it to be better able to sync with others), I'm arguing you can stay in sync while changing what is that is in sync.

Yeah, no, that makes no sense, furthering my point that you can't. The instruments are what is in sync. Not the music. Tone doesn't matter. If the instruments remain in the same synchronization, then they are just still synchronized

synchronization

noun

the operation or activity of two or more things at the same time or rate.

The instruments are "in sync" because of what is being played on them, not from the mere fact of being musical instruments. To get two instruments being played in sync, you'd need two (or one very skilled) musicist to play them. I couldn't play in sync with anyone, I wouldn't know how.

We're not going to come to an agreement man, I'm bowing out

[–] Dasus -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's not really a question of opinion though. There's quite a clear definition...

[–] Cadeillac 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That we don't agree on. Thanks for the conversation

[–] Dasus -3 points 4 months ago

You can say you don't agree with the facts, but the facts are still the facts.

The instruments can't be "in sync" just by the virtue of being instruments. A violin sitting on a shelf won't ever be in sync with anything. It needs to be played for it to be in sync. When it's played, what constitutes "being in sync"? The same time or tempo, if you will.
