I’d suggest some gaming museum or tech fair.

I think a trip to an arcade with a wide range of different vintage games.

I had that thing fall off my leaf. Just left it off and have had no issues.

Doing so outside of a controlled laboratory setting would be effectively impossible for real world noises.

Actually it happens all the time, because of reflection/ refraction from a single source. Say you’ve got a table saw running in a shop. The sound coming from the saw is a (fairly) constant oscillator.

A shop has hard surfaces and that sound will bounce all over the shop the saw is in. Because it still takes time for the sound to travel and bounce all over, there will be places where standing waves of constructive or destructive interference form. Now there is also a shit ton of other sound bouncing all over the place, so it might not be as noticeable, but standing waves/ regions of constructive/ destructive interference don’t require a lab setting.

Modern phased array antenna are effectively taking advantage of this phenomena.

So lets talk about constructive versus destructive interference.

First off, waves are waves. When you have something like a fan, its generating a series of waves. These waves are typically coming at a constant frequency. The frequency here matters.

Sound travels in waves. These waves are pressure waves in a fluid. Those waves don’t just get absorbed by hard surfaces; they reflect or refract. But those waves are both moving through the space, and themselves have a frequency.

This is important because of this you get patterns of constructive and destructive interference in space.

In some areas of a space there will be amplification, because the frequencies are lining up. In some spaces, the waves will cancel out. Those areas will be quieter.

This phenomena is true for all waves.

But I’ve learned so much!

I mean, you are stepping into this with some assumptions, then asking us to answer your questions with the, frankly wrong, framework you’ve already established. Like just within the context of what you’ve laid out, its not reasonable to expect anyone to answer. It becomes an issue of actually answering your question versus addressing your assumptions. Also, the manner in which you discuss weed: “you might not have enough time for a good high”; “I would imagine as bad as driving drunk”, “a good dose of the devil’s lettuce”. Its a tell that you have no grounding in experience. If you have 0 grounding in experience, what are you doing making this many assumptions? Maybe consider how little you actually know and reconsider your question accordingly.

Firstly, weed has a long and deep culture that established itself during prohibition. Getting weed from a friend or a dealer, its how it was done for decades, its still the way the majority of people I know who consume it prefer.

In-fact, many of the things you outline as “issues”: they are part of the process. Walking to your friend or dealers house, often with a group of friends, or maybe piling into the car. Its part of the journey, the experience. Buying weed becomes a social activity. As far as people to know who to buy it from, guess what? Its probably at least 25%, maybe even half of everyone you know smokes weed at least occasional. If you are buying off market, its from your electrician friend, or the guy who works food service, or someones brother or sister who has a connection. You call them up, ask if they can hook it up, give them time to do their part (they usually have to go get it themselves), then you head their way, either by foot or skate board, or should you be so lucky, a car. You go, you hang out with your connection, maybe smoke a bit (but not necessarily). Its a social call. Then you get back with your friends, and you walk off to the park to smoke.

As far as smoking, you might have papers, or a pipe. Its pretty common to have both. If you are more serious, you might even go so far as to carry a dab pen and torch with you. Then you smoke. You take a hit and you cough. There can be a bit of a head rush, but thats mostly the coughing. Its a good taste. A rich flavor between tobacco and sweet basil maybe? And then you are stoned for a bit. Its not like alcohol whatsoever. Its just not like that. It does impair you but not at all in the same way. A person who has taken one hit of weed is a far far safer driver than a driver who has had even one beer. Its not like you are falling all over yourself. All a hit is going to do is just makes you a little dumb and have access to more random thoughts than you did previously, like, “Whatever happened to Jon Stamos?” or, “Do red pandas also have thumbs?”. Its not dangerous whatsoever to be walking high, though it might be a bit dangerous to drive stoned. I dont recommend it, but frankly, unless you are like, extremely inexperienced (like first couple times) or extremely high (did a ridiculous amount), its just a non-issue.

The walking somewhere to get weed, scrounging up enough to buy between your friends, then finding a place to go smoke with your friends, its practically a rite of passage in adolescence. And its fun. Its a good time. The walking and going somewhere is practically the point. Its a manner of socializing. Its also something that isn’t built into a “consumption oriented” experience. That’s changing with dispensaries, but there is decades of cultural experience around getting weed from friends. Embedded within your question are views around consumption, capitalism, and even what the entire point of smoking weed actually is. You might challenge some of those views and consider how they are impacting your thinking.

I mean they were openly fascist then, too. Its just that you had (more) liberals and centrists running interference for conservatives to defend the fascistic aspects of their own ideology.

Idk, I remember hide-and-go-seek being pretty sick as a kid. I don’t often see it mentioned.
