A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

8) No Bots.

Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Does anyone just feels extremely annoyed when other people are playing their videos on loudspeaker? (sh.itjust.works)

My heartbeat just goes up. It just triggers me so fucking much.

Even talking does't trigger me that much, it's something about that phone speaker's weak crackling sound, I despise that. It's like the REVERSE of asmr.

Oops, parents were born in the wrong Asian country.

Do not go to the living room, its more like a dying room. The WeChat stuff is torture. Also mom has some weird boring ass drama show always playing on the phone

I'm just gonna blast English music with a bluetooth speaker lol and pretend everything is normal. xD

My first experience with people playing stuff on speaker was on a train from Beijing to Xi'an. I kept looking around to see who would ask the woman to please silence her show, but it never happened...

Helps to learn Mandarin: If you are a white person, you can just ask politely with a firm voice and I'm sure 99% of the time people would just comply to "save face" in front of "outsiders"

Something like:
「［先生/女士］，请不要在公交车上播放这么大声的［音乐/视频］。这很没礼貌，不文明。」
([Sir/Ma'am], please do play such loud [music/video] on public transit. This is very impolite, uncivil.)

Like 99% of the time it WILL work if you have white face.

Disclaimer: I'm not white so I cannot test this. I also never witnessed a white person in IRL try this, only heard stories of white people trying it and it somehow just works.
