Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity 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 spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just 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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Probably not due to concern of both animals and those with impaired vision, but things seem to go back and forth on that front from time to time.
One of my answers was that most fuel is no longer leaded (apparently some prop plane fuel is?)
Computers are also so fast and we can access just about anything at any time. This compared to my childhood in the '80s where my dad was online (BBS and later CompuServe) and I would sometimes play around a bit when things were much slower and more sparse (and generally far more local). Obviously, this didn't work out 100% in humanity's favor, in hindsight.
I have a GoPro sitting next to me and a 4k camera in the form of my handheld computer (smartphone) all of which still kinda feels like the future a bit.
Translation services are also super cool and open up so much more for idea and cultural exchange as well as opening up travel so much more. Likewise with language study online and the preservation of endangered languages.
