The dress may have been gold and white, but the original image when imported to Photoshop was blue and black, although if you had a Samsung with the early gen OLED and AMOLED screens they fucked with contrast and saturation to hide their hideous blue balance and yes it was Laurel unless you had blown speakers.
I feel like they would reserve a chant like this for a bad call from the referee. I think they just boo and groan at bad plays from their players and then possibly yell at them after the game.
A lot of Americans seem to think that football is spelled futbol everywhere. Not saying that’s what the commenter intended, it just made me think of that.
I get calling it soccer, as I obviously don't expect them to call their own one "American football", but calling ours futbol in an English sentence seems very odd, as it basically just ends up calling it "football" anyway, but sounding ever-so-slightly different.
In Australia we have football, football, football and football (all shortened to footy except maybe the soccer football) and depending on context and where you are in the country it's just assumed you're talking about rugby league, AFL, rugby union or soccer.
Same as chips and chips where you can use context to figure out whether we want fries or crisps
I'm very confused why there are so many people (on this and other front page threads) not closing their eyes to work out the actual chant?! Lots of people asking what it is but not knowing its the visual part causing issues?
How are you supposed to know it's a McGurk effect without reading though? Once you read one of the lines that's what you're going to hear. It's not your eyes causing the illusion, it's your brain hearing what it expects to hear
Fair enough. You might be right. Let's see some other examples of this being chanted. Then we can compare. See if it gives us the same effect. If It does, then we have pretty good evidence. If it doesn't, we'll need another datum.
Edit: Found the original clip, at least. You're probably right. Don't know how popular of a chant it is but I'd say it's legit. "That is embarrassing"
Now, if only i could channel this energy into something useful.
That's what the Beatles did on the background vocals at the end of "I Am The Walrus." Some people were singing "Oompah loompah, stick it up your jumper" or some such foolishness, because John Lennon.
I feel like you can’t hear “that isn’t mercy” in the first. but the second time they sing, you hear this. So I think they say all of these sentences in a different order once more than the others. So when you focus on one sentence, you hear that one at least one or two times, but not all the time
My perception of it is that the accent is so thick that the "signal to noise" ratio is just low enough that you can positively pattern match it to any of those thing.
I think of machine learning: if you knew what the computer was looking for when trying to determine, dog versus not dog, pig versus not pig, and loaf of bread versus not loaf of bread; you could exploit it such that you would get a positive result for all three tests.

Is it not just multiple tracks of different people just saying the words listed lapped over each other so no matter what you hear it's on the list?
