Just need to vent: there's a NIN song "Sin" that has a repeating effect shsha shsha shsha shsha.... I'm not conveying it clearly in text, but it's prominent in the first five seconds of the song[0] if you want to actually hear it.
Anyway, ever since a certain Lil' Jon song came out in 2009, my brain keeps trying to hear this effect in Sin as, "Shots shots shots shots shots...." It's totally inappropriate for the song, and my brain doesn't actually hear the word, but it's convinced if it keeps listening and focusing, the word will come through clearly.
It's a great illustration of the brain having a weakness for certain patterns and having confirmation bias so strong that it will literally keep looking for confirmation for years without getting it.

- hluska 1y agoI don’t know whether to say great comment or “damnit, I just listened to them both and now I’m doing it too.” Maybe a bit of both. But that’s quite the thing.
