Actually there was a story where Scrooge McDuck uses a mirror satellite to shine sunlight on a factory of him to cut down costs at night time. He even starts selling it to citizens of Duckburgh. That must have been a story from the 70s.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You are given the notebook from Death Note and are time travelled to a time of your choosing, as long as it is more than 150 years ago. What do you do/who do you kill?
2·1 month agoI kill myself. If I have learned anything from books and movies, it’s that you don’t fuck with time travel.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What TV shows are absolutely worth watching?
53·2 months agoNobody seems to have watched it, but “Counterpart”. It’s a mind fuck Science Fiction show. Only 20 episodes, so manageable.
It was cancelled, but the writers knew beforehand and wrote an absolute perfect conclusion for the last episodes.
Also it’s best to go in blind. There are events predicted in the show that later happened for real (I don’t want to spoil it), and it’s fun to think “oh that is how and why it happened”!
Also J.K. Simmons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterpart_(TV_series)
I can’t recommend this show enough.
Beyond the infinite two minutes. Quirky sci fi, one take movie, mind fuck. And adorable.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's that video game boss you've never been able to beat, or took you the longest to beat?
2·3 months agoUnintentionally by the developers, but yes, absolutely! Good one!

8·3 months agoThe final battle in Star Trek 25th Anniversary (before it was patched). It’s just not possible to win this!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is an old movie that couldn't be made today?
5·4 months agoIn the sequel of The Thing they first used animatronics and later replaced them with CG. I’m still angry about what could have been an awesome movie. With CG it looks just bad.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is an old movie that couldn't be made today?
5·4 months agoI just googled and read the movie is rated R in the US! And Coming to America too!
Here they are rated 12, 6 if adults are present.
So your comment made me smile a bit.

9·4 months agoThis and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation have been our family Christmas movies for decades!

17·4 months agoAce Ventura. I love the shower scene, it’s hilarious, but today it’s unthinkable to make a scene like this.
Oh, I was talking about the gog installers. It’s advised by gog to keep the installers after you bought the game.
I guess you meant illegal copies, and you are right, in that case the police would definitely knock on a Sunday morning.
And how would they do that? Knock on my door on a Sunday morning, enter and trash my external hard drives where I keep the backup installers?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What movie do you think is really underrated?
11·5 months agoIt’s from a time the new era started to take off while most ordinary people (and filmmakers) had no idea what was really coming. Nor did they really understand any of it. Like Hackers this makes The Net extremely interesting to watch, it’s not good, but it just keeps on giving!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much would one have to post/comment to be one of the top Lemmy users?
11·5 months agoWhen I realized this I decided to turn off my views on my own up and down votes. I had no idea how relaxing it is to just post and not give a fuck what people think. The opposite thinking was drilled into me by Reddit pretty well over the years. I’m so glad I escaped that shithole.
Still, if you do this, please don’t be an asshole!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How will the Fediverse navigate a dying internet?
3·6 months agoI guess it’s back to good old forums, hosted in Mukibukistan on the other side of the world.
Wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
Please elaborate.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your favourite internet radio stations?
13·7 months agoPretty sure you know this site, but here it is anyway: https://radio.garden/
I discovered a lot of interesting stuff over the years.
- Legend of the Galactic Heroes (the old one)
- Steins;Gate (don’t fuck with time travel)
- Spice & Wolf (old and new alike)
- Fullmetal Alchemist (old one, has the better ending, feels like a Twilight Zone finale)
- KonoSuba (extremely funny)
Honourable mention: Kemono Friends (a show based on a bad mobile game, kids oriented, does not deserve to be that good, but it is)
No no, you are not the clown and absolutely right. This fad will end soon as all the others.

By sending test samples to a lab on a regular basis. The results are on the web page of your county/water supplier. Depends on the country you’re from I guess, but that should be your first place to check.
