Not sure if this is the right community for this. If not, I’ll nuke it. Just looking for somewhere that isn’t world or ml now that autism.place is gone.

    The other day, my mind decided to let me smell the entire fucking universe all at once for the whole day. I literally almost broke down on the train to school because there was too much going on. Yeah, I don’t think I’ve recovered yet and probably won’t because it’s finals week…

      i can relate to this. i can hear the electricity coursing thru the walls. lately it’s been so loud that it keeps me up at night. no one else hears it, but i do.

      i had to flip the breaker to the bedroom to quiet it down enough to sleep.

        Oh I hear that kind of stuff too! And like the charger blocks for phones and things, and everyone thinks I’m insane.

        Some days I can stand it or don’t even notice but other days it’s the auditory equivalent of sandpaper on my brain.

          I can hear my laptop’s screen refreshing for some reason, it doesn’t really bother me but it is weird.

              I can still hear a CRT line scan (625×25=15625Hz for PAL)… but used to hear up to 21KHz, now I’m down to 17KHz. Which according to my otorhinolaryngologist means “perfect hearing”… and he’s unable to do anything about the super-high pitch tinnitus, around an octave higher, that doesn’t let me sleep at night.

              @MelodiousFunk oh I still hear them for now, but I’msure I have some tinnitus too… diagnosed by the entire doctor as being a symptom on jaw pain that needs to be either address by a dentist or mandobidular specialist… the dentist is waiting for insurance approval for a mouthguard

            You might be hearing the coil/capacitor whine when the CPU/GPU has a surge of activity and suddenly pulls more power.

            Back in the day, on some computers, you could hear when someone was dragging a window across the screen. The larger the area being repainted, the louder the noise.

              I’ve noticed this happening when i get really really high FPS in a game. Like running something from 1998 on a modern system and hitting over 1000 FPS.

              Now I have my framerate capped externally so I’m not wasting power rendering thousands of frames for no reason.
