TEAM ‘I HEAR BOTH’.
This is worst team. They think they’re better than ALL OF US.
I heard Yanny all day and now I’m hearing Laurel on the same device and I can’t hear Yanny anymore. I guess I’ll just go fuck myself.

I hear #yanny so clearly… but if I listen closely I can hear a deep quiet ghost saying #laurel…. so there… anyone else hear both?

You either die a Yanny or live long enough to see yourself become a Laurel.
