It’s nice to meet all you. I am she/her, can speak Toki Pona and English (non-natively), and locatable on Reddit as MozartWasARed. The links at discord.gg/sEuSSDz6TQ and deviantart.com/…/My-copyright-policy-and-the-impa… are pertinent to me.

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of...

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Sometimes when I’m shopping, I leave a piece of paper explaining my work/thoughts/etc. in the shopping cart before returning it.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

One of the ones where I talk about a view of mine that everyone else perceived as a threat to humanity.

The last time someone asked your very question and I answered, it was in the other AskLemmy, and answering this answer got me banned for three days from there for “trolling”.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I wasn’t “trying” to induce that effect, it’s a genuine conclusion I have. And I did get temporarily banned from the other AskLemmy for it, so yeah, there’s that. If there’s any others that have more downvotes, they would be new to me.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

You say that like that’s never been brought up before. The Mythbusters episode about it even ended on that note. They said “manmade stuff is on the moon, so men must’ve been up there” but didn’t discuss the part where there’s more than one way manmade stuff could end up on the moon (which itself seemed unusually hasty for them).

shinigamiookamiryuu,

a troll or an idiot

Or someone who just doesn’t consider a matter conclusive if a voice of authority weighs in. It’s not like the Bielefeld conspiracy where you can just walk to Bielefeld and touch around, the moon landing belief comes from exclusively second-hand source material during a dubious era of people bluffing and moving goalposts to prove their worth (which is dumb, America has earned a worthy place even without its achievements). It’s no different from the arguments I witness everyday where people out each other with second-hand “evidence” and calling it first-hand even though it’s easy to fake. To cite the Soviet Union’s incentive is purely circumstantial, like saying someone isn’t lying about a murder on the basis they seem like they have no reason to, which is to say it ignores the potential existence of unforeseen possibilities.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Second-hand refers to whenever there’s a middleman or medium (such as TV or audio) relaying what happened to you. Like if Dante’s Inferno was written this century, the book would be considered a second-hand account of Hell, or if the Emperor of Japan said he had the regalia of the three Shinto Kami as proof of his divinity (often with people unsuccessfully asking if he has proof of having proof or proof that it is proof), it would be a second-hand account of his authority. We would be going by their word, and anyone writing anything that disputes it would make it a “he said she said” spat. People get angry at me often if they show me a recording of someone saying something and I say it’s not 100% definitive because it’s not unchallengeable, as opposed to someone taking me to the action, directing me there. If, for some reason, the moon landings were to be challenged in a court of law (no, time has shown Mythbusters is not a court of law), these would be the inquiries/protocol taken. And suppose things came up such as “we recorded over the original footage” or “we brought these souvenirs back but cannot verify that a human brought them back” or “Buzz Aldrin punched someone who questioned him about the landings”, do you think maybe such quirks would raise a few eyebrows? The Soviets we cannot speak for, especially since both Cold War blocs were putting words in each others’ mouths all the time, in fact we know the capability of the Soviets to keep a good secret was enough that they could create whole top-secret cities that civilians still don’t know about, which means we cannot say the US government couldn’t have faked something without it leaking out, that’s the whole point of being able to keep any classified documents.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

If that’s what you believe, I’m not the kind of person to impose and say it’s an inferior conclusion so-to-speak, it’s not as if people don’t agree to disagree. What I’d like to know is why can’t we here?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

That’s based on the assumption of that being the process of what went on. As I said elsewhere, there seems to be a very unbreakably second-hand nature to this. It is my conclusion, just as yours, your hill, is yours. I’m not attempting to crusade on your own hill so much as I’m stating how people react to hearing what I think.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

What do you mean?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

How would you verify the source though?

I for one wouldn’t call someone a dumbass for thinking a conclusion that has no societal bearing, especially if it’s one thing from the far reaches of their mind.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Not what I said, I simply asked how you’d verify. And why do you care?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Then I guess a quarter of Europe is stupid to you. A lot of things fall under the definition of “first-hand”; if I said “here is a moon rock, you can test its properties out”, that would be first-hand, as opposed to “I got a moon-rock as proof, but that doesn’t matter because NASA has it and they’ll never let you test it” or “here is footage, footage means it happened”.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

It’s not an opinion, it’s a conclusion. People differ on what conclusions they come to. It’s simply the nature of disagreement. People used to think it was crazy that the Earth revolved around the sun, something supported by the changing positions of the stars, despite the fact that Mars would have odd patterns in the sky as a result. I look at some of the supportive content for the moon landings the same way someone back then would’ve looked at the specific details of the stars. “This doesn’t add up” they would say, in their case referring to the Geocentric theory. Some people debate over what killed the dinosaurs; that’s “reality” too, but those who say the meteor didn’t do shit and those who say it did aren’t calling each other nuts. Many, many things much larger than a moon landing have been covered up before, such as the existence of several top secret Soviet cities meant to test nuclear material, or several US combat operations. And again, your conclusion is yours, my conclusion is mine, and it’s not like I’m pressuring anyone to convert, so the misinformation bit is unfair.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I have the world record for the most sites having signed up for and hold an active VIP presence on a number of them, though I don’t have my own sites, with a wiki explaining the record and its sole holder possibly being the main close call, though the fact I’m signed up on said wiki presents a conflict of interest with its existence.

What do you think about this?

Someone told me that if you keep your gaze fixed and imagine a completely black circle right above someone’s head, what you are actually doing is telepathy… so far I haven’t researched more about it but I have noticed that some strange things happen when I do that, I see spirals and the vision looks different, could...

shinigamiookamiryuu,

If I do it with a photo, am I engaging in telepathy with the person in the photo?

Hmmm, time to ask Douglass Adams what he meant by 42.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Same, plus seven more.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Who’s this Ollie I keep hearing about?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I don’t work in a kitchen but notice many people take it for granted. If someone is on crutches, people won’t see the irony in saying “pick up that heavy object and put it in the oven”. Hence all those old graphic kitchen accident commercials.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Culture sadly has to be taken into account or it’s like rowing upstream.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Easier to say when things are equal opportunity.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

They’re like stilts people with leg handicaps use to move around. You may have seen someone use them in school if they injure themselves. If you’re using them, your hands aren’t exactly free enough to toy around in a kitchen setting.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Yeah, you’d be surprised what tasks people don’t have second thoughts about asking about.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

That’s alright. I didn’t know about that, sorry about that. If the dollar stores were charities, I know I would’ve since there is a charity watch aspect of my job.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I knew they do something similar to each other (without biting each others’ heads off obviously) but don’t recall ever learning they do that with fish. Just wow. At least humans are a bit self-reflective about their activities at this point in time, dolphins are starting to sound like savages who could use a takeover.
