Do you ever memorize a person’s voice? Like you can construct a sentence in your mind that that person’s never said, and yet you hear them say it.
Is that a thing people can do?????????
yea
there are people that cant do that??????????
We are a chosen few. We have a great power.
It’s called echoic memory
That reminds me…
You’re welcome.
Damn you
Man, I love having echoic memory. Once, when I was writing an exam for a psych class, I made my internal monologue sound like Sean Connery. It was infinitely more entertaining.
I can only do it with a few voices. Wanda from Fairly Oddparents is one, but I’m out of practice with hers.
I find it very useful when I’m writing fanfictions and such. Makes it easier to stay in character.
…wait, people can’t do this?
I never realized there was a name for this, or that it was something not everyone could do! :O I agree with the poster above, it’s so useful for writing in-character voices in fanfiction.
I always underestimate how easy it can be to entertain a teenager. I have this preconception that small kids find everything fun even mundane stuff while teens are jaded and self-conscious and need elaborate or cool activities, but my teen cousins are visiting this week and when they arrived I was in the greenhouse having an issue with the filter in one of the tanks, so I asked them if they could catch all the fish from one tank and move them to the other tank, and they were delighted to be given little dip nets and sit on the edge of the tank to hunt fish for 20min. As I asked them to do it I was thinking, it’s like those duck-fishing fairground games from when they were toddlers, they’ll probably think it’s a bit cringe, and five minutes into it these jaded teenagers were like, hey it’s like duck fishing at the funfair when we were toddlers, I’ve missed it, it’s fun :D
