Why do people celebrate their birthday, despite understanding they have even less time to live after 1 year of their life already passed? (piefed.world)

My theory is something something consumerist culture.

But I am not really sure of how and why.

Why do people want to live long beyond 50 years old? (piefed.world)
submitted 1 month ago by [M] to c/questions@piefed.world
comment fedilink
 
 

It does not make sense to me why people would want to live beyond 50 years old, especially since health problems start becoming more frequent around that age.

Which makes me ask: Why do people wish to live long beyond the age of 50?

Why did Piefed/Lemmy traffic collapse during the last month? (piefed.world)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [M] to c/questions@piefed.world
comment fedilink
 
 

Out of nowhere I started seeing communities getting empty, mods getting inactive and most posts seem to get way less comments.

The only major event that happened during the last month as far as I remember is the deletion of 1 third-party Lemmy front-end developer instance and account and stopping the development.

Anything else happening? Why did people stop posting and commenting here?

Why do American authors who advocate for noble causes keep their books behind paywalls instead of releasing them online for free? (piefed.world)
submitted 2 months ago by [M] to c/questions@piefed.world

That one thing that keeps puzzling me.

it feels weird when an American author keep giving media interviews talking about the cause they are advocating for and keep referencing their paywalled book.

Why do they not at least release the book for free after say a certain period(say 3 months) to advance their cause beyond their existence.

I had seen this phenomenon with American politicians, people important in technology and even feminists and social advocates.

Why?

Is this photo AI? (europe.pub)

This photo is currently the top post in the r/pics community on Reddit, with close to 50k upvotes.

I have my suspicions about the photo and wanted other people's opinions about it.

Is this AI?

If you could create artistic works like the Mona Lisa(Gioconda) in better quality, should your work be considered superior to the original (ignoring its historical value)? (piefed.world)
submitted 3 months ago by [M] to c/questions@piefed.world

I feel like I’ve been thinking about this too much in the last few days.

If you could recreate every drawing in history digitally or in better quality overall, wouldn’t your work be considered superior?

Why the hell isn’t there a nonprofit project that does this already?

Why the fuck do people post photos of text instead of just text? (piefed.world)
submitted 4 months ago by [M] to c/questions@piefed.world
comment fedilink
 
 

I find this very weird.

On one hand you got text, which is very accessible and very efficient and easy to translate for non-native speakers.

On the other, you got photos of text which is inefficient, hard to translate and not easy to read compared to just text.

So what gives? Why do people use photos of text instead of text?
