This isn't a meme, I'm just hating on all y'all

I kinda get irrationally angry with anyone listening to any video audibly anywhere near any other sentient being at all in any context.

Like, wtf

I once got lectured by my dad how I'm the one being selfish and entitled, and how I try to restrict his freedom and comfort during family time, when I tell him to watch videos on mute, or get himself ear plugs, this was in a hotel restaurant might I add.

Jesus fucking christ, the level of anger I felt took me all the way back to being a teenager, I was very close to throwing a tantrum and going to my room without eating.

- EXACTLY! YOU GET IT EXACTLY
  
  like, I know somehow that if ol pappy was my age in this time, he'd be on my side about this. I can feel it in my bones.
  
  But he's ancient now so him and the kids both try to blast whatever stupid video they come across and wonder why anyone would object to having their ears violated.
  
  And don't even get me started if I somehow hear a FUCKING AD??! In 2024?

Sorry it annoys you, I don't like headphones.

Edit: the entire world is not the bus or cafe you were momentarily annoyed in. Cry about it more.

- Sorry you were never taught common courtesy. Your preferences are not license to force others to listen to your crap. Do that in your own home not in public.

- We dislike listening to your stuff more than you dislike wearing headphones :p

- Then there's a perfectly good mute button or volume slider you can set to 0 when in the presence of others.

When I hear someone browsing TikTok videos, it just sounds like 5 second commercials to me. It's quite annoying to listen to.

also applies to instagram reels as well. please put headphones or earbuds especially in overcrowded public transit at 7 am.

I just need instagram to have a mute button so i don't accidentally trigger the audio when it fails to register a double tap.

I hate that shit with a passion.

Oh no, on no, oh no no no.

it's astounding that so many people are perfectly fine with AI voices, it's honestly kind of terrifying like if everyone around you was having conversations with bad animatronics

can we please make computers sound like computers? instead of making text to speech sound like skinwalkers make them sound like the AI in subnautica or VEGA in doom 2016

Back in the days before smartphones, it was being in the same room as someone choosing a ringtone

truly, no harsh noise project can ever approach the sheer auditory torture of existing in the same room as someone scrolling tiktok, like professional bad sound engineers couldn't make a listening experience this unpleasant if they tried

I have my doubts because I've listened to 'little drummer boy' played by an amateur bagpipe band in what's basically a parking garage.

If I were motivated to do so, I could set up a room microphone while having someone browse TikTok, then compress the shit out of the recording to bring out the details, and make harsh noise out of that recording.

So I think noise musicians can approach the auditory torture of existing in a room with a TikTok viewer, but as a gesture of goodwill have held back their full power...

nah it's the performance that gives it the extra oomph.

With noise music I can just, turn it off, and the track has a set length and will end eventually.

Person scrolling tik tok next to you? Feels awkward to approach them and tell them to stop. Some videos loop a short tune, some videos just keep looping as they read the text on the screen, obnoxious constant high energy voices beam from the speakers, and there is no end in sight, no rest, you never know if their next video has a wall of text forcing you to listen to the same sentence/melody 10 times in a row, or if they'll skip something mid sentece. It's a constant auditory nightmare

Still better then sensory overload.

Fights like this is why we'll never be much better than reddit like obviously this all depends on context and you fucks are trying to paint anyone who listens to anything in a public area as a shit heel. Like ok guess I'll just be silent forever to not risk pissing off the dude scrolling through Reddit walking past while thinking about how I'm the cause for all the worlds problems. All of you, just grow the fuck up

-20

guess I'll just be silent forever

Promise? We'll all be way happier than we would be listening to your dumb ass scroll through spyware with your sound on like a boomer listening to all the ringtones on his Nextel. Buy some headphones, they're really cheap.

The people who see this as a problem aren't just Redditors
