What would you bring to the antiques roadshow? in c/[email protected]

[–] spittingimage 3 points 3 weeks ago

My wife's crockery cabinet. We bought it via an auction website from someone who swore it was brand-new. Guess he didn't realise if we knew it was built in the 1940s we would have wanted it more, not less.

If you were an intelligent sea creature who could not always rely on the sky to tell time (as is often the norm whilst out there), what would you use as a time reference if you wanted to measure time? in c/asklemmy

For measuring brief periods of time, it could be how long it takes bubbles to reach a particular height from the sources. I'm sure it would be a bit different at each depth/pressure, so you'd need to take that into account.

If you're right through manipulation (propaganda, marketing, etc), are you really right? in c/asklemmy

What's the deal with English muffins and why do the English like them so much? in c/asklemmy

[–] spittingimage 0 points 3 weeks ago

I eat 'em toasted with peanut butter for breakfast most days. Just got finished with one. I don't know what the deal is, so I'm going to invent one: a medieval French chef sold his soul for the recipe and the English adopted them as a reminder that all French bakers should go to the devil!

What do you create? in c/nostupidquestions

That sounds interesting. What's the process for making it? What colour does it come out?

Appreciate the effort, but... you kinda sound like an AI that was trained exclusively on motivational posters.

Luanti is a better name, but I confess I have trouble remembering it.
