@kazitor said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
Maybe if I were one of those linguists who could immediately tell what an open-mid front unrounded vowel is, it would be more readily apparent.
I've dated one. I shall go ask him, but I don't think there'll be much insight to report back.
Edit: or I skip asking altogether, seems like @djls45 has this thoroughly covered.

@djls45 said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
@Gribnit How would I know which tone frequency to use, and how would I go about generating it?
At this point I'm thinking it might just be easier and faster to download and install Audacity and then simply to cut off the frequencies to see how high vs. low frequency filters affect the perceived pronunciation.
ButThat worked with the laurel/yanni thing. There was an applet that let you progressively high-pass/low-pass filter the audio to go from hearing one to the other.

Yeah, I saw that one, and it was pretty neat, but I'm not interested enough to go to the trouble of making one for this.

Or dear, I'll have to mention that one though. He's going to hate it:

Was he cunning?

@brie I assume this is a pun I don't get.

@topspin it is a pun, and I too assume that you didn't get it, as I suspect you have the wrong genitalia for it to work.
-
@brie Yes. It's a good one, though. Thanks for the explanation @loopback0

That's "near-front," not quite a completely front vowel.

@djls45 As I said, I'm not the sort of person who can identify all this stuff

The sound works fine once I click the unmute button.
I think autoplaying videos aren't allowed to have sound, so it has to be muted to start playing unless the user interacts with it.

Well, there's your problem!
Well, that and desktop Chrome evidently. FF FTW!

Don't know about mobile Chrome, but on desktop Chrome you can right-click and choose "Show controls".
In desktop Firefox there's even a direct "Unmute" context menu option.But here:

@dcon FWIW, real dangerous liquids are usually clear, green or red. In genetic engineering labs, the colours indicate that the microbes are present and have taken up at least some of the genetic material you've inserted (i.e., the colours are fluorescent marker proteins).

But opening in a new tab brings me to imgur anyways, so it's the same regardless.

@dkf Can I get at least an amen for bright yellow, or at least for glowing blue? ANY bright color more generally can indicate heavy metal salts, usually bad for you.
The whole Gatorade lineup is pretty much "what things you should not drink look like", in almost-fact.

Chromium salts! Vanadium salts! Rah! Rah! Rah!
The worst damage I ever did to a lab coat was with a strong solution of hot ferric chloride that I was etching hand-drawn double-sided circuit boards with. That stuff is pretty awful.

@boomzilla Sure, if you want him to learn awful habits. It's almost as bad as some of the front page stuff here.

I started off as a Technician and etching PCBs was one of my duties. I swear that every single sock I owned had a hole in it from that stuff. When I graduated to being an Engineer a new Technician took over and decided to store the waste etchant in a steel drum. It worked fine for months until it didn't, the poor carpet in the entire R&D wing was never the same again.
We don't make many boards in house any more but when we do we use Sodium Persulphate now, no longer is everything stained in very fetching shades of ill-person brown and green.

During my time at university, I formed the bad habit of cleaning the spatulas on my lab coat.
In time it became to resemble The Coat of Many Colors.
When I finally put it into a washing machine I may have committed a crime against nature. It also definitely was like Joseph's coat in more than mere color: Because after washing it was very holy.
