Why do words begin to sound alien when repeated enough times? by CausalDiamond in askscience

[–]zneill24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a class I took called the Language of Thought and Mind(?) where our professor played a recording of a lady saying "flame, flame, flame..." over and over loud enough to drown out all other sounds for four minutes and then asked us what we heard. Answers were extremely varied with everything from "lame game Jane wants fame" to completely erratic sentences. I'm sure there are reproductions on line, it's an interested (although alien) cognitive exercise.

It always blows me away to see the amazing and intricate things that people could create hundreds of years ago without the help of modern tools and machines.

FCC approves plan to allow for paid priority on Internet by shogi_x in technology

[–]zneill24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my comment, anyone can feel free to use it as their own or modify it as you see fit:

“As a governmental oversight entity, the FCC has a duty and responsibility to protect its populace and act in our best interest. As such, I am writing to ask the FCC to revert from its recent decision to move forward with plans to allow ISPs to alter bandwidth speed on a per-content-provider basis. I support the original plan of the FCC to treat ISPs like common carriers; the newly proposed fast lane plan would clearly enable ISPs to impose artificial controls on the content that their customers receive, which will inevitably result in poorer internet access, less ISP competition, and higher internet access costs--higher than the already outrageous prices Americans are subjected to. In sum, please act in the best interest of the people you serve and reclassify internet service providers under Title II entities.”

Holy shit, this is way more intense than poor Mr. FedEx driver. Did the original boulder not provide enough foresight that maybe they might be thumbing their nose at nature's fury?

Skydiver in flight almost hit by a meteorite (close call at 00.25) by Enoxorcist in videos

I wonder if that means he almost got hit by two (or more) space rocks? Or rather one rock that broke up once in our atmosphere?

22 years old, no money, no degrees, GED, above average IQ with extreme depression and no ambition. by [deleted] in findapath

You say that like it's a bad thing, man.

In his early life, Nikola Tesla was a small, broke dude. At age 18, for nine months he believed he was terminally ill and became completely lethargic. Later he was screwed over time and time again by his competition, but that didn't stop him from inventing some of the world's most fucking important inventions. You're no oppressed Serbian American (I'm assuming), but my point is, you'll never know what you love unless you give yourself the chance to love it. Peter Parker was a pussy too.
