So I guess laugh tracks are expired. Also, Shaggy "threw his voice," making it sound like it was coming from another room. We used to believe in this, and quicksand.

The bit about throwing one's voice was often used when I was younger as a possible explanation for mystics inviting spirits into the room. So that's not actually a thing?

The way it's depicted in cartoons is not a thing, but Ventriloquism is definitely a thing. Turns out it's mostly about making people look somewhere else while you talk (such as at your puppet) which creates an auditory illusion.

My baby nephew is very good at making crying sounds without moving his lips

TIL people experience this. I thought it was just something those with spatial deafness experience. I never have interpreted a sound as coming from something just because it looked like it was moving or talking.
