Some of my failed showerthoughts

Submitted ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨YICHM@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨showerthoughts@lemmy.world⁩

This post is created to prevent me from flooding the community with more of my low-quality showerthoughts. This post violates community rule 2. Explanation will be added when I finished writing them. Most of the following statements is lame or untrue.

There seems to be no physical media transfer system that nicely demonstrate circuit-switching.
The letter J is used much more frequently in 6502 assembly.
Arguments against porn and sex toys can also be used to oppose huggable stuffed toys.
Contempt of cops should be legal.
Market dulls one’s sense of morality.
Punishments against corporations should be especially severe.
Chinese is good at making names short, but terrible at making names extremely short.

It’s 15:10 here. I want to sleep.

It’s not hard to verify at all. Just face the camera and speak the thought aloud.

Contempt (insult?) of cops should be legal.

Personal opinion. (It’s illegal in Taiwan)

Lol. Reminds me of a joke: If you go to Hong Kong and say 谁拆楼, is shoulds similar to 死差佬 (in Cantonese).

Chinese is good at making names short, but terrible at making names extremely short.

My name is ■■■, and its funny how knowing the number of characters does not deanonymize me an any way, almost everyone has 3 character names, its so standarized.

Except like those rare 2 character names, in which case society just deems you weird (not really, but I personally always notice the 2 character names more, but yes, you could technically make your name shorter. Or if you have 4 characters, people are gonna think you’re a Japanese (because last name having 2 characters is a very Japanese thing).

So if you go to a western country and have to use the Pinyin as your name, its usually gonna be 2-5 letters for last name, 4-10 letters for the given name, not too long, not too short, just perfect. You could say Chinese names are the perfect names, 3 characters, 3 4 三四生死 life-death, 4 is death, 3 is life. So your name is kinda symbolically representing life. (Not sure if this is intended or I’m just attibuting meaning to coincidences)

But also: Names like 曹操 (Cao Cao) has a very short Pinyin name, if you are lucky enough to get these short names (or I guess you could change it, couldn’t you?)

(Also how does a Taiwanese get their name romanized? Taiwan doesn’t use Pinyin… 🤔)

  Various flavours of Pinyin, semi-English transcription, or some random names chosen in English class.

1 - huh?

2 - huh?

3 - wild. What’s that like, thinking that the only reason to marry is to fuck? Is your professor okay?

4 - where are you that it’s not? Afaik, in most places considered “developed” you can dislike police as much as you please. There may be consequences if you resist their actions but that’s a different issue.

5 - I don’t know if I agree that it’s “market” (because if your neighbour has chickens and you have a cow and you trade your milk for their eggs that’s a market) but the complexity of modern production and global trade. There’s just no way anyone can really understand all the processes so there is necessarily a level of abstraction that alienates you from what is happening at the other end.

6 - duh.

7 - sure lol

  (1) Circuit-switched network create a dedicated connection between two nodes, and the connection is reserved for the entire session.
  
  (3) He’s a Christian, so probably not.
  
  (4) Taiwan. Although the guys at the constitutional court says the criteria is more strict than the law says. law.moj.gov.tw/LawClass/LawSingle.aspx?pcode=C000… (zh-tw)

    I can read at most a few characters here and there on that page so that doesn’t help ^^; What exactly is illegal in Taiwan regarding the police? They can’t read your thoughts so how would they decide whether you have contempt for the police unless you actively antagonise them?

I don’t think the 3rd one follows, and isn’t the 4th one a thing everywhere? ACAB is a very popular slogan and sentiment! 5: if usury is a sin and reap what you did not sow is immoral, then yes, it follows that the whole market is sinful and immoral. When it comes to the 6th one, I’d say that companies cannot or shouldn’t really be “punished” but any decision maker in the company certainly can and should be if he’s a corrupt enemy of humanity etc etc. I don’t know anything about the other points, but Chinese cuisine is my second favourite and Romance of the Three Kingdoms slaps!

  I have a PhD in BSology so I may be able to help:
  
  OP is frustrated that bus drivers in the Turkish Domestic Market don’t have an easy way to exchange music CDs between each other.
  
  6502 is a type of processor that uses little 8-bit Indians and as we both know, there are a lot of important and prominent figures in Hinduism with names beginning with the letter “J”. Leading to an above average percentage of Indian men with names that start with “J”.
  
  Such as Jimmy from Texas who would like remote access to your PC so he can remove that pesky virus you got from a no-no website.
  
  This is is a personal anecdote about some guy they call professor from OP’s art collage club that got caught up with Jimmy from Texas after visiting a no-no website so now they have a personal vendetta against videos about recreational procreation.
  
  OP also had a run-in with Jimmy from Texas after visiting a no-no website but surprise, Jimmy turned out to be a scammer who stole NFTs from OP’s PC and the cops couldn’t do anything about it as they have no jurisdiction over decentralized digital markets.
  
  OP ranting about how he can’t recover their stolen NFTs.
  
  (NFT rant part 2)
  
  OP used an ancient alien language to say Jimmy’s Mom is “looser than an old screen door” as well as claiming that one time, Jimmy’s Mom was sitting on her porch in dress with her legs open when a blind man walked by. The blind man stopped, sniffed a few times and said “I must have gotten lost and ended up at the fish market again”.
  
  I hope that clears things up for you
