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.

I got one, it's definitely stolen from an old Nickelodeon TV show so bonus points if you can name the show!
What's weightless, can be seen by the naked eye, and if put in a barrel, will make it lighter?

Nickelodeon's Are you Afraid of the Dark - Pilot episode - Tale of the Phantom CabArgh, I only caught a bit of Nickelodeon TV, back around 1990, when I was lucky-enough to receive the former tenant's subscription. (or however that worked)
Is it specific to "Nick?"
No, it's just a general riddle. One simple enough you kick yourself once you realize lol
Nice one! I love 'think outside the box' riddles like that.
Unfortunately, I only came up with helium balloon, which works, but isn't a fraction as clever. 😕
I totally remember that episode. Snick was my shit.
Also, from the same episode. How far can you walk into a forest?
I don't remember the show answer but
my answer
Half way because then you're walking out of the forestThat was exactly what the answer was!
Yay I did it lol
