I heard the high pitched sound from two posts up and knew the next half hour was going to be awesome.
Nobody ever believed me when I said I could hear a powered-on CRT from two rooms away
I'm in my 40s and still can hear that frequency just fine. Probably not as loud.
One of my least favorite types of thing are those "teenager repellent" devices.
Also certain induction cooktops.
Also the "kid repeller" devices (because yes, it also includes younger people such as infants, and also older people), is that it just makes the world a hostile place for young people, and then later people turn around and complain how "nobody goes outside anymore"
In addition, this severely affects animals too
We don't have a range, and I use portable 110v induction cookers. I love them so much, but I must have music or YouTube or something playing while cooking, or I want to stab a fork into my own ears
They put those “teenager repellent” devices in malls. And what do you know, malls are dying.
My favorite use of those was teenagers using that as their ringtone so the teachers couldn't hear it.
I hear the chirping of shoes on televised basketball games. No one believes it until you meet someone else who can hear it too. Some people can just hear higher pitch sounds.
Edit: and yeah, I can hear when a CRT tv is on.
Wait, most people don't hear that?
I don’t know. I thought everyone could too. Until it turned into an argument at like thanksgiving or something. I don’t watch sports but the rest of my family does.
Maybe the rest of your family is just so used to it they ignore it.
The whine on larger the TV's were so damn loud. My neighbor's had one of those massive beasts of a CRT. I could hear it 100 feet away.
My first migraines where triggered in the computer lab from 40 CRT monitors being on. It was so loud and annoying.
a friend of mine got a CASIO watch with an integrated IR emitter and would always cause havoc when the TV was out
Casio is so chaotic.
I was your friend
We still are!
Those remote control watches were actually banned at the schools I went to as a kid. Along with other calculator watches, couldn’t have one of those either. ‘Because you need to know math and won’t always have a calculator on you when you grow up’ 😂
“Hey, second-graders, it’s time to watch All Dogs Go To Heaven! Just in case your parents forgot to traumatize you.”
Depression the movie™
Oh my, I shouldn't have read wiki of the main child voice actress.
That was depressing.
I just don't understand the 80s and before... So many different people knew she was in trouble, but no one cared? Fuck the producer, the psychologist, CPS, and fuck the police.
God damn.
Oh they cared... about the paycheck they were making off her.
I got some of my trama from the TV cart! I watched 9/11 on that thing
Science rules!!!
Inertia is a property of matter
Bill Bill Bill Bill
We gonna watch the Salmon episode of Magic School Bus.
When I was a kid, my teachers brought this out when it was time to watch Voyage of the Mimi.
If any young'ns read this, how do they do this nowadays in school?
shit my teachers streamed yt via projector over a decade ago
I haven't been in school since like 1998.
oh god, not another class watching contact
I swear I watched that movie 9 times one year.
why build one when you can have two for just twice the price?
He was cool, but I still proffered Mr.Wizard.

Beakman's World!
I remember being annoyed by an episode of Mr.Wizard where he showed chemical reaction, but wouldn't explain it. Like, why even bother doing that on a science show?
Beakman’s episode on teeth lives on my mind rent free.
Always in the last week before Summer break. Bob L'Éponge in French class, Mr Bean in English class, Staplerfahrer Klaus occasionally (don't google that one if gore isn't your thing) and throughout the year, of course, documentaries.
I didn't realize just how often we've used these.
Mr Bean for English class is so fucking funny. "Surely the show with next to no dialogue will teach them English"
My English teacher's excuse was always that learning about culture was important, too. And now I know that three-wheeled cars are very dangerous to drive in the vicinity of Mini Coopers!
Yes?
I remember when I was 8ish the daycare I went to wheeled out the TV to put in some cartoon so the workers go fuck off and smoke crack or whatever. The cartoon they picked was Water Ship Down. It was wild too because everytime they came Iback to check on us nothing fucked up was going on so we saw the whole movie. A girl said the movie was scary and that was the only feed back they got.
We didn't appreciate Bill Nye enough as kids.
Taught me so much! I remember watching Gandhi 😊
You're gonna chant on the offbeats, right?
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
