    Some of that sound rearranges some of your neurons so that you can listen to Never Gonna Give You Up whenever you read this

    Into darkness, my old friend.

    I’ve come to talk with you again.

    Because a vision softly creeping

    Left its seeds while I was sleeping

    And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains

    Within the sound of silence

    Oh, and while the king was looking down

    The jester stole his thorny crown

    The courtroom was adjourned

    No verdict was returned

    And while Lenin read a book on Marx

    A quartet practiced in the park

    And we sang dirges in the dark

    The day the music died

        Well, heat just spread over a larger area but it doesn’t get destroyer nor turn into any other form of energy.

        But it doesn’t die per se.

          If you consider particle excitement to be the definition of heat and subparticle fields to be different forms of energy then it does actually change, but that’s just semantics.

          If all discernable heat is unobservable and unobtainable, then semantics don’t matter. Everything still dies. I’d include “heat” in that mix, but that’s waxing philosophical

    Let’s assume the kid knows it’s a recording. It’s still a valid question.

    Like where is the recording coming from when the kid asks Alexa to play a song?

    I never thought about it, as I don’t have kids, but must be a bit harder explaining a global IT-infrastructure than it was for my grandpa to explaining how a VHS works. On a generalised level, that is.

        “how is it now playing here in the car if it’s on the computer at home…?”

        edit also “a computer at home” feels fairly outdated, when even very young kids have smartphones
