Just reading this after I spontaneously Google'd if roaches could drown.
Apparently they can, but they can live underwater for up to 40 minutes.

You had me at concertina…then you mentioned the theremin & I was like: This too is a person of culture 😎

u/dottydiapers 5d ago
hahaha can you tell I want to learn how to play a weird instrument and also might only have 1 hand to use for that 😂😂 (I have 2 hands, but I also have carpal tunnel surgery coming up soon)

u/BarbieBaratheon 5d ago
I too would love to learn these two quirky instruments so it’s nice to see I’m not alone 😂 Good luck with your upcoming surgery! Hopefully you heal quickly to be able to play whichever you choose 🙏🏽

u/Mathetria 5d ago
So my question is, does ‘Keep Your Hands to Yourself’ count as a song about waiting for a proposal?
https://youtu.be/WonOudGMSdc?si=qpEt09IdfyUBn4ix
Or maybe I just wanted a way to get Squeeze Box to stop playing in my brain 😬

That got a nasty chuckle out of me
If I could pique your interest, depending on what counts as "fun", there is a conlang with only around 130 words called Toki Pona that is allegedly easy to learn, and has several free resources to learn it. I say allegedly because I keep getting sidetracked, and haven't been able to learn it 😅

u/dottydiapers 4d ago
ooh that sounds like it could be a fun activity for me and my partner to do together!! thanks!!!
lol did you try googling the first one? it was just like marketable skills to put on a resume. I wanted weird skills and talents to pull out at a party like juggling and playing the accordion

I honestly can't stand people who don't google it. Can't tell you how many conversation I've listened to where they're asking a question and speculating on what the answer could be for like 5 to 10 minutes when you can literally find out in a 30 second search. I don't google it for them because I've had too many people get upset that I googled it and "ruined the fun of it." I feel like it's more fun learning something together and having a conversation about accurate info, but I'm mostly alone in my environment when it comes to that.
2
u/jeo188 4d ago
I personally wait up for the conversation to end to look it up, or suggest looking it up together with whoever I'm talking to (if I am certain they know it's not from a place challenging them, but from a place of genuine curiosity)
But I am still appalled that there are people that will, at the end of the day, never look up the question

u/NOT_A_JABRONI 2d ago
Before I was medicated, I would get into (not serious) arguments with my wife about this. If we were on a road trip and a question popped up neither of us knew the answer to, she wouldn’t google it. It was excruciating.

This is exactly what smartphones are for. I was so excited to get one in college!
Back in my day…pulls out red shimmery env3 phone while wearing capris and a lace-bottom camisole, we had to text ChaCha with our precious, limited text messages and maybe get a semi-coherent answer. Kids these days don’t know what it was like to be ADHD in a world without unlimited 5g data.
…and I am so happy for them! Have you heard about immortal jellyfish???

I just ask Siri and she spouts off something about something that’s not even close and I just call her names and realize I’ve already forgotten what I was asking.

I used to NOT do this. And then I started doing it and LOVE it! So fun to learn! Lol

u/Unyielding_Sadness 5d ago
Mmm so this too is a function of ADHD. Thought I was just curious and enjoyed learning

u/other-words 4d ago
That’s how we are. We’re very good at learning…about 100 things at the same time and the connections between them. It’s when folks want us to “focus on one thing” that we run into problems.

u/Unyielding_Sadness 4d ago
Yeah I guess that's why I get so frustrated at people. I kind of assumed that it's really easy to look things up if you car.

I did. Apparently, in some states/countries, you can't name your baby Jesus Christ, King, Queen, III, Adolf Hitler, Santa Claus, Majesty, Messiah, or anything with numbers.

Yes, that has been done too

Last night I was doing some casual googling and I learned about zero point energy field, the attempts to harness power from it, the immense implications, and the greedy powers that be that would do anything to silence attempts at producing something like this. Interesting stuff!!!

your words reminded of a vid i watched a cpl of days ago. It was about data centers. https://youtu.be/DGjj7wDYaiI In case the link does not work, the title is your utility bills are subsidizing Facebook and Amazon.

Ugh, I don't like when people search questions. Search key words, typing out the whole question just seems so... idk, I can't find a word for it, but just don't.

This is a good thing to do. Never stop being curious and never stop learning.

I'm also gonna keep all the searched tabs open because "it's an interesting topic and I might come back to it later!"
