Brinens and Things

marauders4evr:

It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:

It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.

galwaygremlin:

wdym you can hear it?

superpaperclip:

Basically, it’s a form of synesthesia, movement-hearing. In this case, you expect to hear a thud, so you do. It’s estimated that 20% of people experience this type of synesthesia, as opposed to 2-4% for other kinds.

YO what the FUXK

burntcopper:

The longer you watch it the more you get convinced that you can hear a  distant thud and the air displace.

​

lasrina:

I heard the thud. I closed my eyes and the thud stopped. I opened my eyes and I heard the thud. My goodness but human brains are a mess.

This was easily the first ever viral post on Tumblr back in 2011/12. Perhaps even before the great “what your leg feels like after falling asleep” followed by a picture of a static teevee channel.

​

macleod:

Why is my username dead on this post? I’m still here.

​

poguniversity:

Sometimes i can still hear his voice

​

btc-official:

​

maryellencarter:

#I don’t literally hear the gif but I love the ”yeah that’s the synesthesia” punchline #anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #this probably deserves some warning tag but I am not sure what #this post was queued because my to-reblog list is too long and I didn’t want to dump it on you all at once
