[SPOILER ALERT!]
The first time through, I heard "[jibberish jibberish jibberish] is at the next stop." (Perhaps I've spent too much time on public transport.) What does that say about my brain?
But yes, once I heard the whole sentence, I couldn't not hear it.
- twiceaday 12y agoI too heard "... is at the next stop" right away.
- frandroid 12y agoIs that before or after you read the text?
- Riseed 12y agoI read the first paragraph, realized that the "SoundCloud Video Player" blocked by Ghostery was an essential part of the article, and reloaded the page. You make a good point--during that time, I suppose it's quite possible that my brain scanned and processed enough of the remaining visible text to spoil the effect.
- interpol_p 12y agoHad you read the sentence prior to listening? I found that just reading the sentence once in the article caused me to understand the distorted version without having listened to the plain version.
- matchu 12y agoI started to read it, and got to "The constitution", but then realized it was a spoiler, so stopped. I was able to hear that part of the sentence accurately on the first try.
- pedrosorio 12y agoSame here.
- michaelsbradley 12y agoHaving read the sentence before listening to the jibberish version, I clearly understood each word. It wasn't more or less clear to me after hearing the non-jibberish version.
- lisper 12y agoSame here FWIW
- Springtime 12y agoI had read the text beforehand, and could make out parts of the words but I was surprised how much clearer the distorted recording became once I heard the original.
