The Quietest Place on Earth Will Drive You Insane Within 45 Minutes

There’s a small room in Minnesota that blocks out 99% of all external sound. That’s an impressive number! Also impressive: nobody can take more than 45 minutes alone in the room before they go nuts.

The Daily Mail describes Orfield Labs’ anechoic chamber—perfect for making extremely sensitive audio measurements. But also perfect for sending you into a hallucinatory hell so hellacious you’ll need a chair:

‘When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You’ll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly. ‘In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.’ And this is a very disorientating experience. Mr Orfield explained that it’s so disconcerting that sitting down is a must. He said: ‘How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don’t have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance and manoeuvre. If you’re in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.’

That sounds swell. Just the serene quiet of you, your thoughts, and the unceasing pounding of the human heart. Your brain can’t take it, apparently, and begins to fabricate sounds that aren’t really there—completely delusional noises meant to block out the churning of your own horrid biomass.

During an interview with VH1 News at the Sundance Film Festival, Aubrey “Drake” Graham admits to a dream role that he is secretly studying for.

“I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him, that’s the goal. I watch all the addresses. Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m pretty good at impressions.” Drake stated. 

“I want to do something great,” he said. “I want to do something for my culture: the younger people who are still in tune with everything going on. I’m actually writing with my friends right now,” he continued.

You think wheelchair Jimmy can take on the role of one of the most dignified Black man in the history of the United States?

Please never let this happen.

Oh gawd. Drizzy needs to take a time out and get a juice box. And have a healthy snack of GET THE FUCK OUT.

I can’t stop laughing.

It is the ugliest laughing and I am sooooo happy no one can hear me.

I don’t get why all the blogs that post five trillion pictures of skinny white girls wearing upside down cross shirts and pouting all have urls like l-i-p-s-t-i-c-k-w-h-o-r-e and f-a-s-h-i-0-n-d-y-k-e. They’re normally vulgar by your grandmother’s standards and they’re always hyphenated.

I don’t understand

Like why is this a thing

“In August, the administration announced new rules requiring all new insurance plans to cover birth control and emergency contraception by 2013. At an early October fundraiser in St. Louis, President Obama himself hailed the rule. And when President Obama appeared before the U.N. in September, the administration touted the contraception rule as an example of America’s commitment to women. So when Carney says “this decision has not yet been made,” he’s wrong. It has been made—and by reopening it, President Obama is succumbing to pressure from anti-choice groups.

Even worse, Carney says President Obama is trying to “strike the right balance between expanding coverage of preventive services and respecting religious beliefs” without acknowledging the fact that the rules announced in August already included an exemption for churches.”

White House says Obama considering rolling back mandatory insurance coverage of contraception

This was a HUGE thing for this to pass, and there’s no reason that it shouldn’t stand. Why should health insurance that people are already paying for NOT include contraception? The vast majority of major health insurance plans cover Viagra, why not birth control?

FYI, if this happens, I’m going on a rampage. This blog won’t exist because this PLANET won’t exist.
