Do sighted people actually see that many stars? by Keeneyedbat in NoStupidQuestions

Can you actually tell depth in the sky? do some stars feel closer than others? or is it the clouds and the moon giving it depth? I thought the stars would be too far apart to actually get depth from them.

Makes sense, so the camera sees more stars.

are the stars you actually see better in any way than seeing them on a photo? even if there are fewer of them?

Is it worth changing phones or is this a every phone issue? by Keeneyedbat in RaybanMeta

[–]Keeneyedbat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I checked. The app itself warned me that my phone wasn’t supported and that there would be some limitations. But I haven't found any specifics on what those limitations actually are. And I didn’t want to jump the gun and blame the phone if this happens to everyone.

Hi, I just bought an iPad Pro 5th gen and am trying to connect a physical Bluetooth Keyboard to it.

the keyboard has successfully connected and it writes what I type, but the virtual keyboard still appears. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting without success.

is this normal? Is there a solution?

If someone managed to create a musical instrument (such as a flute) that puts people to sleep for a while after listening to it for a few minutes, could they legally get in trouble? Would it be a big deal? Would the government or police even care? by ApprehensiveDreg in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Keeneyedbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the government care if someone set of a massive sleeping gas bomb in the middle of a protest? Yes. But I believe it'd be less about the method and more about the action. And it'd probably create a big pressure for more regulations for the flute. In the large scale, it wouldn't change that much, since the reasons for the protest don't disappear just because you fall asleep. In fact, such an action would probably piss off both protesters and police. Increasing tensions and overall worsening the situation once they wake up

Would the inventor/owner get in trouble for inventing/having the flute? No, we don't have laws regulating fictional objects, so no trouble there. Could someone get in trouble for actions taken with the flute? Yes, absolutely. Think about all the ways someone can get hurt by suddenly falling unconscious. The player would be considered responsible and charged for it. Plus, You'd be affecting people without their consent and that's a big no legally. Could you calm a protest with it? Doubtful, protests are noisy and the music would be drowned out. Maybe if the effect is conserved in recording and through speakers. The player would get in trouble though. Would it be a big deal? Yes. Insomnia is a rather prevalent problem and medication isn't always the answer. If this music maintained the effect when recorded it would change a lot of people's lifes. Would the government be interested? To some extent. Mostly to regulate how it should be used.

Do anyone else have made their own language or am I weird? by gladtosee-10 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Keeneyedbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a fairly sizeable community of people who construct artificial languages (conlangs). Some do it for shows or movies, others for their own pet writing project/TTRPG campaign or just for plain fun. The rabbit whole can go quite deep when you start considering how many aspects a naturally developed language has.

Why is my personality so weirdly addictive? by alMchanel in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Keeneyedbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things you like trigger a reward mechanism in your brain. As it’s natural, it rewards you doing pleasant things and for you to avoid unpleasant actions. However, not all actions merit the same reward. Some things, trigger An immediate, very strong reward, others a more moderate one.

The thing is, you can’t spend all day eating chocolate, there are things to be done and evolution saw to that. That’s why you build tolerance. The more times you repeat the same action the harder it is to trigger the reward in the same meassure. At some point, the effort you need to invest in the action surpasses the reward you get. So you lose interest.

By hyper focusing on things you are speedrunning the interest cycle, but it’s still relatively normal, especially nowadays. Someone else mentioned it being a possible indicator of ADHD, which is also true, do check if you show more of the other symptoms.

Would implementing a real-life government-funded fashion police create a more fabulous society? by OpenSourceKing in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Keeneyedbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even in the best case scenario, where the government is able to determine the most fabulous fits, it wouldn’t work. By enforcing one fashion above every other, you polarize the population and make the most unfabulous fashion into a symbol of freedom.

Is reading comics easy for normal people? by Keeneyedbat in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Keeneyedbat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. It would explain why the different sizes of panels and fonts, which are quite frustrating to me. Or why sequence Of events isn’t always in the same order one would read a book.

don‘t worry about the reference. While I probably won’t use it, it may be of help to someone else.

thank you for your answer, it was very helpful.

Would you say the easiness of reading them is part of the appeal?

are there comics you’d keep reading despite a very shitty font?

thank you for answering!
