東京に行ってて忙しかったから、久しぶりのアップです。当然お題は「東京」。首都東京がこんなに早く出てくるとは、私も予想外です。そして、まさかChatGPTにマウント取られるとは、思いませんでした！どうせ、私は田舎者（いなかもの）ですよ！だから今回は、ハルカちゃんと、ちょっとけんかしてます。でも田舎者だからこそわかる「東京、こわい」は、あってもいいんじゃないかな。「上の方」に住んでる方々のご意見を、ぜひ、うかがいたいものです。浅草と東京タワーについては、少し話してますが、観光情報をご希望の方にはお役に立てないなあ。ごめんなさいね。

どうかみなさま、広い心で気長にお待ちくださいませ。
じゃあ、またね！

第5話　東京がこわい

Which animal is really the King of the Jungle?

The Social Evolutionary

Who is the King of the Jungle?

Have you ever hurt your neck while watching TV and wondered if it's been mounted too high? Well, you're not the only one. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people who discuss the subject on Reddit every day.

From breaking news to fandoms, and from memes to life's biggest questions, Reddit is a website that encourages people to discuss any subject that interests them.

The platform has over 100,000 communities, or "subreddits," that are created by users. And a subreddit about TV placement is in the top 1% of popular communities.

The community known as "TV Too High" is among the website's largest, with over 200,000 members. Here, photos of TVs in homes, hotels and other spaces are posted and often met with hundreds of comments discussing whether or not the TV has been placed at a good height.

One photo posted to the community in September 2024 showed a TV mounted above a door, with one user commenting, "Spiders on the ceiling fan have a great view."

Another photo showing a TV mounted above a staircase received over 500 comments, with one user saying, "This might be the worst one I've ever seen."

But is there a perfect height for a TV?

One user posted a guide based on advice from the subreddit. It included things like: "If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH," and, "If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH."

Another user posted a photo of a guide from a TV manufacturer. It said the best height for a TV when viewing while sitting down is 107 centimeters from the center of the TV screen to the floor — although some users said this was still too high!
