Random question of the day:

Would you rather spend a week in Lapland wearing as little clothing possible or spend a week in Kuwait wearing as much clothing possible?

Lappland easily.

If you go during the summer, the temperature isn't that bad.

 

[Idea]

Probably Kuwait after some thinking about it. I can probably manage things if I use enough cold things and it’ll be hard to go about things if I have to stay naked all the time (as being naked is in fact the state with the least possible amount of clothing).

I’ll probably choose Kuwait.

 

[AaronMk]

Pretty confident at a certain point of dry heat it actually becomes beneficial to throw on more clothes than wear less, because your body heat is so much lower than the ambient desert heat. Which is why the Tuaregs and Bedouins wear so many layers

 

[Maple Tea]

Lapland. I don't do well with the heat at all.

Random question of the day:

If there's life on other planets, and other species of humans happen to be amongst said life, would those species of humans have any distinct features to physically tell them apart from humans here on Earth?

 

[Onmyoji]

They probably would, since the features would depend on a lot of factors like what kind of atmosphere, gravity, climate etc are there.
Even if we assume, the planet is identical to Earth, the 'alien human' history could have gone in entirely different way, so there would still be some differences.

Evolutionary pressures would likely have them be somewhat different.

The Deathtrap.

The Neptune's Disgrace >]

 

[AaronMk]

Well pirates, probably being for the most part merchant mariners who took up arms to earn some extra money through illegal, or sanctioned war time raiding my ship would probably be named something normal like the St Anne.

 

[Onmyoji]

If you were a pirate, what would you name your main ship you'd be traveling the seven seas with?

Final Boss
It will be the ultimate menace at the seven seas!

Random question of the day:

What's the cheesiest pickup line someone has ever used on you?

 

[Idea]

No one’s ever tried.

I’m usually the pickup line guy, but so far nobody has told me anything

Random question of the day:

You're at home playing your video game, when suddenly, an arm reaches out of the tv and pulls you inside. When you look up, you find yourself in the world of the last video game you played. Where did you end up?

 

[Onmyoji]

Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising

It's a nice world. I like it.

 

[AlliedMastercomputer]

Sunday Stairway, I guess.

 

[AaronMk]

Outer Wilds

 

[Solivagante]

Baldur's Gate 3. I've played it enough that I know which buildings survive the final boss fight, so... I might live?

Random question of the day:

Would you really be capable of thinking more logically without emotions like Fairly Odd Parents seemed to suggest in their "Emotion Commotion" episode?

 

[Onmyoji]

I never watched that show, so idk what they suggested there. But since emotions can sometimes hinder logical conclusions, maybe yes?

 

[AaronMk]

Based on how data and statistics are not by themselves entirely neutral and can be produced with an emotional bias in mind, or be made to support a bias and logic can be stretched to support same bias: I don't think it matters what the convention of the fable says. It's ultimately a spin for children on what would be something you could tell for an adult story: the meaningful subject isn't emotions clouding reality but the lack of emotional maturity in a person that clouds their reality.

Because as in some stories I've read and some biographies of real people I've come across, it's not ever emotion itself that clouds rational thought; but the person's inability to distinguish between the emotions they are feeling and "logic". Hell there's an entire novel by Knut Hamsun - Hunger - about a guy so far up his own ass as a brilliant writer that he doesn't recognize he needs to get a real job and so practically chooses to starve himself. It's a similar beat for American Psycho

 

[Cogwork]

I mean, what would "more logical" even mean?
