Amazing. BTW, the White House has finally produced something truly funny as they released a video in which various people gave their view on what they heard. The kicker is Trump himself at the end. You'll have to see it.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-56619029541814316592018-05-18T16:34:40.692+01:002018-05-18T16:34:40.692+01:00I didn't hear Yanny or Laurel - I hear Yee-a-w...I didn't hear Yanny or Laurel - I hear Yee-a-whee.

So, I decided to find it on Youtube instead. There were a lot of Yanny/Laurel links there. I picked one that looked innocuous and didn't say it was posted by Vladimir Putin (I'm not kidding). The one I chose turned out to be a short audio of a woman having an orgasm and then some vague words at end. It wasn't Yanny or Laurel. That was my one and only Yanny/Laurel experience. I love the multi-layered composition of the bus shelter photo.

After checking your link, I still don't quite get why it's such a big deal. Obviously, I'm missing a piece of information.<br />I did hear about the crazy lawyer. There is certainly a lot of anger out there and sometimes I wonder if it's because it's so hard to tell fact from fiction these days.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-29361148810433222582018-05-18T14:23:39.757+01:002018-05-18T14:23:39.757+01:00I totally hear Yanny and was convinced there were ...I totally hear Yanny and was convinced there were two tapes until my husband and listened at the same time and he heard Laurel and I heard Yanny. I could NOT imagine how he could hear Laurel! But on your slider, three from the left, I hear it! I am very curious about what it says about how humans interpret sound. Fascinating!<br /><br />As for that rage lawyer, I do believe anyone who behaves like that is mentally ill, but now mental illness has been encouraged all all these hateful new avenues. People no longer see the need to practice self-restraint. There is goodness in the world too of course, but Trump has definitely coarsened the level of pubic discourse.<br /><br />That Yanny-Laurel debate made me think about how I could not for the life of me understand how someone could support Trump. And yet people do. And passionately. Society needs another slider! Then again, maybe not.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-32624323263603655912018-05-18T14:05:43.907+01:002018-05-18T14:05:43.907+01:00And did you see that a woman in Publix in Tallahas...And did you see that a woman in Publix in Tallahassee pulled a gun on another woman in the parking lot after a check-out altercation? <br />WTF, people? <br />I actually enjoy letting people go ahead of me in line at Publix if I have a lot of groceries and they've only a few. Or if they have children in the cart. I'm not in that big of a hurry, usually. <br />And honestly, for every one of these rage incidents, there are so many incidents where people are kind to each other. They don't get the attention, of course. This is just the way we should all act. And so often do. <br />But that lawyer- he's a piece of work for sure.

I can't hear Laurel until I get almost to the extreme left with the slider. Interestingly, as I slide it to the right again, I don't start hearing Yanny again until almost the middle. It's as if my ear wants to continue to hear the new interpretation after having finally discerned it. It's a weird phenomenon, that's for sure.<br /><br />I read that the woman in the Tim Horton's had a history with the store, and that management had denied her access to the washroom based on her previous misuse of it. For what that's worth :)<br /><br />Anger management, yes . . . there are many who could use a good dose. And studies have shown that the old advice about hitting a pillow or venting is less effective than redirecting one's focus. I suspect it has something to do with adrenaline, but I'm not a scientist or a doctor, so that's a guess only :Djenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.com
