Wouldn’t this be noisy AF with rides going and full of people??

@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I haven’t been personally. I just learned about it and wanted to share, because it’s cool looking. Maybe someone who visited can share their experience.
I looked at some vlogs on yt, and it seems noisy but nothing crazy.
Example: Some random vloggers on the ferris wheel (time stamped), gets louder when they get off the ride.

Hule ,

I’ve been down there.

You hear a constant humming, but not too loud. The amusement park is not big, and has slow rides, so maybe some kid will scream…

MudMan ,

Most of the place is more of a museum anyway. The one time I visited I mostly remember it being humid and having a surprising amount of unexpected temperature changes in different places. It's definitely a sight, though.

idiomaddict ,

I’m very surprised that a salt mine feels humid. Am I missing something, or shouldn’t salt absorb moisture really well? Did you by any chance ask why it was humid?

MudMan , (edited )

I did not, but I took the liberty to assume the huge indoor lake with rowboats in it may have had something to do with that.

Joking aside, I don't know if that was natural or a byproduct of mining, but there is a lot of water in there, to the point where there are salt stalactites all over the place and everything is covered in a thin layer of goopy brine. The entire place looks... slick.

Like I said, it's a sight.

cactusupyourbutt ,

that looks dope

dejected_warp_core ,

Ah, that explains the extensive use of wood and plastic. That environment would be a nightmare for anything made of steel.

andrewta , to asklemmy in Sorry for the potentially controversial question: is it normal for less attractive people to settle down with partners they don't find physically attractive?

You should never date someone you aren’t attracted to. That won’t end well. That doesn’t mean they have to be a ten but you have to be attracted to them

Valmond ,

What about when you get older.

Personality, sharing hobbies etc is extremely important in the long run, way more than drooling about someone.

Sure, good/ok looks is important but that’s not all.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

This.

In this thread everyone is going to be single from 40 onwards apparently.

CanadaPlus ,

I’ve heard some people develop a taste for older-looking people as they age.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Sure “some”, but not many.

For most people I think that other attributes become more desirable than physical beauty. The biological imperative to reproduce with the most physically attractive person you can find diminishes significantly.

RBWells ,

I’m older and would argue most people’s taste ages up with them. Like to make a current example the Turkish shooter looks attractive to me, the Pommel horse guy looks attractive to my daughter.

Not sure how long that lasts, may be reaching the outer bound, but no way do the younger guys look attractive to me, and hell yes good looking guys my age do look good to me.

Asafum ,

I tried. It doesn’t work at all and you just end up hurting that person.

I’m not handsome by any stretch of the imagination, but I still can’t find honey booboos mom attractive, so I have to stay single.

I’m also just an absolute waste of oxygen, joke of a human being so there’s that too lol

CheeseNoodle , to nostupidquestions in What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says?

Tangential, according to one of my college lecturers even the cheapest LED bulbs are capable of lasting multiple human lifetimes, its the little power supply circuit that comes with each bulb that breaks and ruins the bulb.

Aceticon ,

The actual Light Emitting Diodes loose brighness over time due to, amongst other things, dopant migration which is something that gets accelerated by higher temperatures (though even when disconnected and in storage, it still happens).

(I have some red LEDs which are almost 4 decades old from back when I played with Electronics as a kid and they’re way less bright - barelly lighting up - than the ones I got a few years ago)

That said, the cheap conversion/regulation circuits in those lamps can exposed the LEDs to frequent spikes of voltage or current beyond their spec, and even though most electronic components can handled occasional slightly out of spec power (they tend to be designed with chunky margins), do it too often and they’ll will probably die.

And then, of course, as your college lecturer pointed out, those conversion/regulation when done with cheap designs and components tend to die way more easilly than the LEDs themselves.

PrincessLeiasCat , to nostupidquestions in Help me understand littering

Just to clear up any confusion - you can understand violence and racism, but not littering?

And if I do understand correctly, maybe it’s because that’s how their parents were, so they honestly just don’t think about it. My parents were the complete opposite so I abhor it, but I’ve known folks who don’t think twice. We’re still friends, I just try to gently remind them.

I do not have any racist or violent actual friends friends though. Like, I don’t actively pursue their company.

Thorny_Insight OP ,

you can understand violence and racism, but not littering?

Yeah. I can imagine what a racist would say if I confronted them about it. They always have a reason for thinking that way and to them that reason seems valid. I can’t imagine what such justification a litterbug would have other than “I just don’t give a shit” so in other words; they know they’re in the wrong and simply don’t care.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

It goes both ways. Not all racists have the legitimate ignorance excuse - many just want a convenient excuse to have an “other” to blame their problems on so that they don’t have to take responsibility for their own failures in life.

In a way littering is similar - some folks just don’t give a fuck, others were raised not to think twice about it and so they don’t. The second group can probably be educated though.

There are ignorant people in every group who can be reasoned with and realize they’re wrong, and change.

And there are malicious dickheads who just don’t give a fuck who their destructive behavior hurts in the process and will continue on their path to watch the world burn.

The issues themselves aren’t always the main qualifier.

Azzu ,

But isn’t the justification/state of mind for all bad behavior “I don’t give a shit”? If they gave a shit, they wouldn’t be doing it.

The root justification for littering has already been said somewhere: someone has trash in their hands, they don’t want trash in their hands because trash is disgusting to touch. It’s annoying to keep carrying it around. Thus they open their hands.

Crazyblu ,

I can imagine what a racist would say if I confronted them about it.

Yea cos usually rascist people have clean and thought reasons to hate people that they never met.

Karmmah , to asklemmy in Why does it feel as though only the US and China (and maybe some other Asian countries) have an economic future?
@Karmmah@lemmy.world avatar

I think that is a very negative view on Germany and Europe that comes mainly from reading too many news. The media always report when something goes wrong, but rarely if something is working right.

One example: passenger aircraft. Boeing is struggling and China does not seem to be able to make the strong impact that was theorised. Europe is the global powerhouse in that regime. And especially Germany is really strong in a lot of areas that dont make the news regularly.

Also look at the transition to renewable energy in the last decade alone. We have a lot of ideas for the future, just not decided what we should do on a big scale.

Tech is just a market where the circumstances in the US and China with their huge domestic markets produce the biggest companies. Europe will probably always lack behind in that.

Europe is in a transition period right now into the 21st century. But both China and the US also have internal problems that will hold them back in the future.

Blursty ,
@Blursty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

This is all just empty coping. Europe’s economy is fucked and there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Cherry picking a single example of an industry doing well won’t change that.

And especially Germany is really strong in a lot of areas that dont make the news regularly.

Counterpoint, no it isn’t.

Also look at the transition to renewable energy in the last decade alone. We have a lot of ideas for the future,

Looking but not seeing, Missed all of our targets. On track to miss the next ones. Meanwhile China reached its 2030 targets last month.

When the US goes under things will get far worse. Our economies are very deindustrialised and our finance economies won’t be worth anything much. The EC under VdL will continue its march to fascism and since we can’t fight any wars, the imperialism will turn inward.

thouartfrugal , to asklemmy in People who used older macintosh OS in the 90s, what was it like for your daily use, work, games etc?
@thouartfrugal@lemmy.world avatar

In my high school we had several of the Compact Macintosh models and I remember using them in two classes. One was English where we used a word processor. The other was more interesting: some sort of computer literacy course where we wrote HyperCard programs on the Mac.

Apart from the HyperCard stuff I found the courses and Macintosh computers quite dull. Maybe because I had been using Amiga computers for years at this point, and knew “The Fastest Apple Mac is an Amiga” (piped).

HubertManne , to asklemmy in People who used older macintosh OS in the 90s, what was it like for your daily use, work, games etc?

So early to mid nineties the macs were way easier to do graphs off of spreadsheets as office and excel did not really come into their own and lotus was a bear. It the main thing I used them for outside of the neat networked tank game.

It looks like a sci-fi research facility.

dejected_warp_core ,

So people keep asking me: “why build a massive research facility at the bottom of a salt mine?” Well, I’ll tell you: science! That’s why. Those safety-obsessed, bureaucratic government types are always slowing things down. Better to move this operation indoors so we can get to work. And that’s where you come in: get your assignment at the desk, and let’s make history.

Two questions… Why pink and not white? Second question, why did you order these panels like that? You wouldn’t need them if you ordered it like any other meme, left to right then top to bottom.
