A tumblr post of a Twitter screenshot saying "accidentally watched 30 minutes of a breaking bad episode at 1.5x speed didn’t even realize it was like damn these dudes are hauling ass today" and a second reply saying "same but opposite energy" with another Twitter screenshot saying "Better Call Saul is so good that I accidentally paused a scene where Bob Odenkirk was sitting in a chair and I thought it was just a character study of him in silence. I watched a paused screen for 2 minutes and thought it was such great choice."

Watching at 1.5x for 30 minutes without realizing... How high was this person? It's either that, or brain damage; there's really no other explanation.

Go to uni.

Never appear in Person.

Watch all online lectures in 1.5 - 1.75x.

Gradually forget how fast humans are supposed to talk.

I went to the final lecture of the semester and I wondered why the lecturer sounded sick and sluggish. I'd been watching every lecture on 1.75x and my brain had accepted the speed as reality.

On YouTube, I change the speed constantly, and, sometimes, I think I'm watch at x1 when I'm actually watching at x1.5 or even x2.

I can usually differentiate x1 from other speeds, but when there's a slow talker and no music, it's actually quite easy not to be able to tell unless I think hard about it, or realistically just check, especially since I'm very used to it, having done that for around two years.

However, watching a show for ~~30~~ 20 minutes without realizing it is unrealistic, especially since there are a lot of sound effects and it's ~~30~~ 20 minutes!

Yeah, movement is one thing and bad enough, but you would certainly notice the dialogue being extremely weird.

So now it's a lemmy post about the screenshot of a tumblr post about the screenshot of a twitter post

always has been

I already saw it on reddit months ago... So add another layer to it

This sounds like the pie scene in A Ghost Story.
