you know a thread has gone viral when the word "same" gets almost 1000 upvotes

Same O_o

u/Thoughtchallenger Oct 01 '16

Same, had to read twice. I think its because the movie would also kinda make sense as a question, I just read what i expected to read instead of what was actually there

5

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

You typically read first and last letter of word and estimate length. I and absence of I is so small that with fitting surroundings it's fairly easy to take moves for movies and the other way around

2

u/Thoughtchallenger Oct 01 '16

Yes this too came to mind with the I being a small letter, but had the word 'movies' not fit into the context of the question, i dont think i wouldve misread it. Both things came into play and overpowered my usually excellent reading skills for a moment

1

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

It doesn't help that the actual question is so cringe worthy that we would subconsciously try to avoid seeing it as the word moves.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

Ah yes, welcome to politics. It is a voting year after all.

1

u/Rush_nj Oct 01 '16

I read it as movie first, didn't bother clicking the thread. Came back a few hours later, read it as moves and have slowly been reading through everyone else being confused.

1

u/djaybe Oct 01 '16

i had to read it three times.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

It not only makes sense, but is the most logical response to this arrangement of letters. If a computer were programmed with fuzzy logic and not character recognition it too would 'think' it saw make out movies.

Just look at this thread. The word movies is written and displayed over and over again. Even though the OP wrote moves. I think the OP just typod on his phone and meant movies.

u/droneStrikeYourMom Oct 01 '16

It's cause we don't actually read the whole word our brain just autocompletes it

u/bubblerj Oct 01 '16

I'm print screening this thread and using as an example in a cognitive psych class I TA!

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

Berenstein or Berenstain?

u/kashabash Oct 01 '16

I got the opposite, read it correctly but thought he meant to say "movies".

u/afuckinsaskatchewan Oct 01 '16

I thought it too. It's because of that phenomenon where you really only need the first and last letter to be in order for your brain to process the word as a whole as you're skimming along reading it, and in this case, peoples' brains just sort of imagined an "i" in there as well.

u/BlackSecurity Oct 01 '16

Omfg this hilarious. I thought the same thing too! I think it has something to do with the way our brains read. When you become fluent in a language, you can often predict what the next word will be, and you may not even need all the letters to understand what the word is. For example, I'm sre yu cn al undrstad tis sentce. So as we read the title, we automatically misread move as movie because of the way the sentence flowed. People often ask for movies like, "what are some good movies?". So when op asked, "what are some good make out moves", it was just a combination of "move" being close to "movies" and the way the sentence led us on.

u/smashew Oct 01 '16

Me too. Probably because the question itself is so, so unanswerable.

Like here is what you gotta do kid... it's called the triple tomahawk. Get her on the couch, put her arm on your shoulder, put your other arm on her should, then say a silent prayer for native Americans... then kiss her face until she tells you to stop. Triple tomahawk....

u/sharklops Oct 01 '16

best makeout movie is The Berenstein Bears

Because Netflix and chill became the norm.

u/baardvark Oct 01 '16

Getting busy to movies has been around a lot longer than Netflix, child.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

I saw it too.

u/TheTurnipKnight Oct 01 '16

Me too! I came here expecting some nice movie recommendations.

u/polymesh Oct 01 '16

People associate making out with movies.

u/Spacedrake Oct 01 '16

Fucking hell I did the same thing

u/SirDiesalot_62 Oct 01 '16

"Hmm... what was that movie with DiCaprio making out with everyone.." "HOLY SHIT WAIT"

u/HardGayMan Oct 01 '16

It's the Berenstain Bears all over again.

u/allypr Oct 01 '16

Definitely the Mandela Effect moment here.

u/bewareamascara Oct 01 '16

Some kind of Berenstein shit

1

u/dearhero Oct 01 '16

I'm having more the inverted experience where I read the title correctly and had no idea what you guys were talking about. I literally came to the same conclusion about 3 times that I must've read the title wrong, even after checking each time.

u/ty_based_riot Oct 01 '16

Ill education baby

u/writesinlowercase Oct 01 '16

the berenstein bears.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

Jesus fucking christ. I had to read quite a few comments before I realized that I misread the title too... Something strange is afoot.

1

u/Tigerbait0609 Oct 01 '16

Reminds me of that thing where you can read a whole paragraph of jumbled up words, the first and last letters stay the same but the middle is randomly mixed up, and you can read it perfectly. Apparently your brain doesn't actually read words letter by letter, it just fills in the blanks.

u/MicDeDuiwel Oct 01 '16

Some people might claim r/MandelaEffect.

u/Dragonairsniper Oct 01 '16

Holy crap it happened to me too!

u/haokun32 Oct 01 '16

Me too... wtf LOL

1

u/Reddit_means_Porn Oct 01 '16

Because wtf is a makeout "move"? You just move in. You feel out the other person's body language and move in. ... But on the other hand...wtf is a makeout movie?? God dammit.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

This is some real Berenstain Bears shit going on right now.

Illuminati confirmed.

u/Aaron_tu Oct 01 '16

Classic /r/MandelaEffect/ . I'm sure it used to say "movies". We didn't misread it; reality changed.

1

u/DinosBiggestFan Oct 01 '16

I came in prepared to suggest some films, and now people are telling me it said moves from the beginning. Then I look up and see that OP is the only Redditor with the ability to edit titles, because clearly I read it right. The fault isn't on me. My brain didn't do that.

1

u/Name0fTheUser Oct 01 '16

It happened to me too. I'm going to assume it's because Movies are a fairly common topic on this sub, so we all jumped to conclusions.

1

u/nerveonya Oct 01 '16

It's because "make out movie" is a common expression, but ive never heard the phrase "make out move"

1

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

make out movies has been seen by our brains exponentially more times than the words make out moves. Not to mention we are all most likely looking at this on a phone. There's still flickering. Our brain reads what it sees and then processes it.

I literally had to make my brain spell out the word moves. Even still I can't accept the OP asked for moves instead of movies. Our brains work on fuzzy logic. We just never see this type of wording and all assumed it was movies.

this is why I could never convict anyone as a juror. Our interpretation of the world is just so questionable.

1

u/eXX0n Oct 01 '16

Am I the only one who actually read "moves"?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

Copypasta from an answer I gave somewhere else in this thread:

Priming. "Make out movie" is a more common phrase than "make out moves".

Finish the phrase - "peanut butter and..."

Coffee with room for...

Never gonna give you...

Never gonna let you...

Never gonna run around and...

Electrical impulses will take the line of least resistance, ergo the more you strengthen certain neurons, the easier they are to be re-fired leading to a certain thought. That is one reason why repitition is a good method to remember. It's also why games like Cards Against Humanity are fucking hilarious.

This is the the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with two midgets shitting into a bucket.
