What some weird stuff your body does?(can be NSFW) (programming.dev)

NSFW 246 comments fedilink hide all child comments

My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).

there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that's how he found out he has only one functioning eye)

Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself

This happened to me when I took antidepressants for the first time, as well as being incredibly sensitive to sound, to the point where I could hear electricity.

Not being hyperbolic at all. To test this my partner and I tested a bunch of devices, she flicked either a dummy-switch, or one powering an appliance, and with my back turned, I could tell her if it was on, off, or she hit a dummy switch.

Ultimately I couldn't stand being on antidepressants, I felt like my IQ dropped 10 points.

I always thought hearing electricity is normal, up until I realized most people can't do that. Never been on antidepressants or anything, that's my normal state of consciousness.

Surprise surprise, I'm extremely sensitive to all kinds of noise.

I can hear the 60hz hum in the US but the 50hz EU grid is silent to me.

Every time I've gotten a hearing test I get praise from the ear person.

"Your hearing is exceptional!!"

I know it is. Do you have any idea how often I change out the charging blocks in my room?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah same problem. Worst were CRT monitors or old tube-TVs, they made a constant sound quite like a tinnitus.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

And all that, for what? So that we can hear someone from like 1 foot further away? Perhaps in the apocalypse we'll be like dowsers for electricity?

Hearing: a little bit of super. No power.

Some appliances are louder than others. Curious to hear what appliances you can hear

I'm able to hear the AC hum from motors and any inductive heating elements.

When it's completely silent in the room, I can hear the transformer in my phone charger make a variable squealing sound

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I don't mean the hum of any moving parts, I mean the stand-by electricity flowing through them.

Phone charger, kettle, laptop, TV, stove, fan (without the fan actually moving).
