Breaking Rule

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 it as reality.

Well, obviously, you have to smoke meth to get the full experience when you're watching Breaking Bad

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!

Oh yeah, I can watch 1.25x without difficulty, but the movements never look natural at that speed. But even just listening to an audiobook (and even with a slow speaking narrator), 1.5x is noticeably sped up. That doesn't stop me from listening at that speed, but it's not natural.

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

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

This sounds like the pie scene in A Ghost Story.
