Yanny or Laurel

I was very surprised my son couldn't hear Laurel.

And now Laurel. What a day.

kill me

when people do the demonstrations and cut the lows i still hear laurel

Ok fine, so in this one I hear yanny first, and then when it's slowed down at :11 I start to hear laurel. But other people apparently hear the opposite, so idk.

Okay once I sped it up I was able to hear Yanny but all I could hear was Laurel before. pic.twitter.com/4LQR2tnBun

Wait I mean the reverse, the sped-up version is the first time I've been able to hear it as laurel, but then back to yanny upon slowing down

If I start at the Yanny end, it takes until a few segments over to hear Laurel.

Important development

that nyt thing is good, the switch point for me, at which i can mentally control which i hear, is at 1.65 bars to the left of center.

I voted for yanni but since then I have been able to switch back and forth between them

friend hears Yarry

^ thats what i heard first

the crazy thing about the nyt slider is that the Y/L crossover point varies all over the place for me, depending on the direction I'm sliding from and/or which word has just been repeating

^^

I'm Laurel all the way; even far left on the NYT slider sounds more like "yrrlrrl" than "yanny"

sounds like "FREMME NEPPA VENETTE" to me

callback is pretty PRO imo

I'm hearing "Yearly" on the NYT slider.

Big fan of these audio illusions. If you want more, hunt down the first of these two Diana Deutsch CDs and hopefully she's having a field day today

I'm not convinced it has anything to do with the frequency as my brain keeps swapping between both words.

It reminds me of when you're listening to a familiar song and your brain latches onto the beat a couple of microseconds too late, so they whole song sounds out of synch and unfamiliar. It seems like this word is the same. What you hear depends on where your brain tells you the word begins.

fucking hell

was thinking that i could see the military using this sort of word-morphing technique as part of an interrogation

Is it sex or is it weight lifting?

ok that air force tweet is the worst thing ever and disgusting but also it made me think of this

I was just wondering the other day when somebody was going to get around to using the whimsical 'ukes and handclaps' cute animal video music in a sinister context.

ok fine it's interesting

I love this

saw the white house video about this and wanted to jump into the mississippi. but i just muted the terms on twitter instead

on my computer "Yanny" or actually "Yammi" whether through internal speakers or good headphones. Nothing at all like "Laurel"

that whitehouse video almost makes me believe that this whole thing was manufactured to divert attention away from gaza. at the very least, it's got me questioning why trump is appearing in a comedy sketch when he should be focusing on a crisis that his actions stoked the coals of

My kids just introduced me to the gif of electricity pylons playing jump-rope. Which is silent. But some "hear" a thud each time the pylon hits the ground.

this is what gets me to leave ilx. thanks

I don't get why this stuff makes so many people IA. It's harmless and easily ignored.

I thought a lot about why it made me so mad and I think it’s because I’ve spent too much time playing speech samples through filters so I’m really inured to the phenomenon in question - I can actually do a really good “beatbox” of it unplugged - so when everyone was like “wow I can hear both” my jaded mind couldn’t help itself. OF COURSE YOU FUCKING CAN IT’S JUST ABOUT WHICH FREQUENCIES ARE EMPHASIZED AND HOW BRAINS WORK, GAAAWWWWD.

Blame Korg

(also probably the name of some character in the wookieepedia)
