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 chirping noises from shoes is so annoying. When I watch college basketball it's with the volume off.
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’ 😂
Had a different version of that Casio. Loved it. Let my friend use it in 8th grade and got it confiscated until the end of the year. Was bummed. Haven't used it in years. Bet it still works on a good number of TVs
“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.
Still have the theme song stuck in my head to this day. Good times. The 90s was a great decade, which was definitely only 10 years ago because the 80s was 20 years ago. No need to check my math on that.
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.
Most teachers have a projector or television mounted in their rooms that are connected to either their computer or iPad.
we got these things now
(note that the school didn't get to decide where the money went so we still have no soap dispensers in some of the bathrooms but now have 30+ $5,000 screens that do the same thing a projector did. Thank you, Federal government)
Why is the image AI-generated? Legit, how difficult is it to find a picture of a TV cart?
Yes?
We didn't appreciate Bill Nye enough as kids.
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.
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!
Hahahaha, thanks for reminding me of Staplerfahrer Klaus <3

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
