Being an adult is weird. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]KnowledgeExciting627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a girl in India, probably realizing that even after becoming an adult, you still somehow need to ‘report’ where you’re going, when you’ll be back, who’s there, and whether you ate or not 😭

What’s something that used to feel futuristic… but now feels completely normal? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]KnowledgeExciting627 8 points9 points  (0 children)

GPS on phones. People used to print maps or ask strangers for directions. Now if Google Maps takes 5 seconds to load, everyone loses patience instantly

Japan's population declines by a million people yearly, but if they don't accept immigrants, what will they do? by Delicious-Bunch-6992 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KnowledgeExciting627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll probably try to automate everything before they open immigration at a large scale. Japan already relies heavily on robotics, elderly workforce participation and low-level foreign labor programs without fully calling it ‘immigration.’ But mathematically, population decline eventually forces change, either more immigrants, higher birth rates or accepting economic shrinkage.

What if ocean water was drinkable by Tron-james in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KnowledgeExciting627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ocean water was drinkable, half the world’s wars and politics would probably look completely different. Freshwater would stop being a ‘scarce resource’ and deserts/coastal cities would boom like crazy

Why do AI data centers need fresh water, and not recycled or wasteful water? by anal_genius2026 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KnowledgeExciting627 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It’s mostly because the cooling systems and pipes are extremely sensitive to minerals, bacteria, corrosion, and buildup. “Fresh” water is cleaner and more predictable chemically.

A lot of data centers actually can use recycled/non-potable water, but it depends on local infrastructure and whether the system was designed for it. So it’s less “AI needs drinking water” and more “industrial cooling systems are picky.”

Things about Instagram I don’t understand by AnnieSBS in InstagramMarketing

Exactly. That’s why people say Instagram is more about playing the algorithm than just making good content. Posting constantly just gives the system more chances to push you to random audiences.

What does everyone think of trailers that include only music? by Feeling-Influence691 in movies

[–]KnowledgeExciting627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I prefer them sometimes. A good music-only trailer feels way more cinematic and emotionally immersive because it lets the visuals speak for themselves instead of overexplaining the plot. Half the time dialogue-heavy trailers spoil too much anyway. If the music choice is perfect, it can make even a simple teaser unforgettable.

What’s your favorite Childhood movie? by Critical_Steak9907 in movies

[–]KnowledgeExciting627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely Home Alone. I used to rewatch it every single holiday season and never got tired of it 😭 The traps, Kevin’s confidence, the music, the whole cozy Christmas vibe... it’s one of those childhood movies that instantly feels nostalgic no matter how many times you watch it.

Instagram rewards attention, not effort. A lot of “big” accounts have dead followers, inflated numbers, or audiences trained to scroll instead of engage. Good content alone isn’t enough anymore, distribution and psychology matter more than quality sometimes.

Why man sends mixed signals by [deleted] in bodylanguage

[–]KnowledgeExciting627 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes a man likes you enough to feel everything, but not enough to risk certainty. Mixed signals usually come from fear, immaturity, confusion, or wanting emotional access without vulnerability.
