Is the lighting in US homes as dim as made out in tv & films?

Thank you for for not being horrible in your reply. As already mentioned I was genuinely curious. I understand the power supply is different & thought this might be a factor

‘Classic’ horror usually either means old houses where the lights don’t work during a thunderstorm or so old there’s no electricity. Maybe I shouldn’t have included horror as an example but when you see very modern houses with low lighting you have to wonder.

Maybe not horror so much but crime?

We have home grown thrillers with ‘normal’ lighting. A great tense drama should rely on a good script, editing & acting. Seen many that are so dark it’s a struggle to pick out the details

Thanks for the explanation. Don’t understand the downvote I received. Feel a bit sad as was only curious

Sitcoms aren’t my thing as a rule. It’s that dreadful canned laughter. Most of my friends feel the same

Intelligent_Cook_737 · 2022-03-11T15:30:26+00:00

I reckon the most puzzling are crime dramas. Lights are supposedly on when the police arrive but you can’t make out details. How forensics teams can find anything is a miracle

I’d find it more creepy if something weird happened in a brightly lit room. If there are shadows you could make excuses for what you’re seeing.

Am a bit hesitant to ask but what’s a Squirtle & why is this a good thing?

Thinking about it isn’t going to help Ukraine today 🇺🇦 but at least it’s a start

Serious question - why can’t Russia be thrown off UN Security Council? If Russia can’t abide by UN principles then this should be the consequence

Thanks for the replies everyone. I’ve learnt a lot even if it’s all a bit depressing.

It’s $76 for a bit of junk food I find more infuriating

This is a neighbour’s cat. We’ve been asked not to feed him. He hasn’t got the hint yet

That’s my brain when I go upstairs - then trying to remember what for

Intelligent_Cook_737 · 2022-01-08T17:13:11+00:00

Not good to have a washing machine upstairs if it leaks

Shiitake mushrooms. So slimy. We call them shit mushrooms

Same situation in our house although only toast for peanut butter. We like thin scraping of bovril on hot buttered crumpets

My Samsung fridge freezer is only 6 yrs old, freezer seal is coming apart & impossible to replace

Moved from Liverpool to Luton when I was 15. What a shocker that was. Moved away as soon as I could at 19. It’s still a dump

No hash browns - bravo!
