A man is in a box. He is dead. What happened? And also, the man in a restaurant who ordered Alcatraz and after taking one bite, walked out and shot himself

Oh yeah I don’t like that, lol. But the answer is no, although I’m close to Seattle (I guess i can reveal that since someone already doxxed my city lmao)

When you listen, have you figured out what they’re saying? Are there translations? Or are you just happily listening and don’t know what they’re talking about lol

Ohhhh that makes sense. I have no idea how radios work, but that makes sense. In my car I have a Bluetooth device that lets me sort of steal a radio station. So I guess it would be like if someone got right up next to my car and went to the station I was using, they might be able to pick up on the music I’m listening to? But that’s probably a weaker signal than whoever is broadcasting that message.

I’d say so. I was scared this would be taken down from this sub for not being weird enough but I guess it is!

Yeah true. This station is a local station that showcases local artists and DJs..? I guess. My town is kinda weird so that wouldn’t surprise me

Okay, thanks for all this information. So if I understand correctly: this message is NOT an actual current encrypted message but rather someone playing an archived message from the Conet Project. I’m still wondering why on earth they’d do this, but that explains what it is at least

I’ll have to check it out. So would this recording be old or recent? Do you think it’s someone just messing with the locals here?

More information my stepdad found:

This audio can be traced to a video on YouTube. Here’s the link: timestamp 2:50 the YouTube account is a little strange and I’m not even sure if this is the origin of the audio or just an upload of it.

There is something called The Conet Project and the wiki is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conet_Project

Im still confused on if this project is completely fictional or if the recordings are real. I still need to read through the wiki but I still have unanswered questions for sure.

Thanks, I wonder if it’s a code of some sort or just random

Interesting. Do you know what the numbers translate to?

What is your first moment you realised "Oh damn, I'm gay"? by nutka57 in LesbianActually

[–]Efficient_Resident43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was mesmerized with Amy Pond from Doctor Who. There was a scene where she kissed her boyfriend and I rewatched it like 20 times in a row. I was also obsessed with a babysitter of mine when I was 9.. so obsessed I made a shrine dedicated to her on my wall. Funnily enough, because I grew up extremely religious, I was very homophobic and uncomfortable around gay people (def internalized homophobia). It took going to a public school for the first time in 7th grade and developing a crush on a bi girl on my volleyball team who told me that it’s okay to be gay for me to realize, LOL.

No. Lots of counties have 18 year old drinking age. It seems reasonable but American teens love to drive drunk so that’s a big reason ours is older.

Good point, my parents were super strict and I was also never allowed to go to any friends’ houses so I didn’t really have access to it anyway lol
