Love your channel so much. You had me as a subscriber with the "calling all bunnies" video! 😂😂😂 Keep the great videos coming, not only are they really interesting, but you make me laugh so much! Love it! ❤❤
As someone who struggles to hear in a crowded bar I usually only manage to get by when staring at the mouths of my companions and I have zero formal lip-reading capacity. There must be something in this. Like the Les Dawson sketches with... Alec Gilroy, well Roy Barraclough. Ada and Cissie.
This video absolutely proves a point about perceived bias. Recently, my flat-earther brother showed me a video of pilots apparently admitting that the earth is flat. For me, it was a video that was heavily edited that showed pilots admitting that earth APPEARS flat, because the cruising height of commercial airliners is below the 35000 ft that is necessary to see the earth's curve. But for my brother, it was a video of pilots privately admitting that the earth is ACTUALLY flat. We both saw the same video and it confirmed our own separate beliefs. Of course, I have science to back me up and he has obscure RUclips videos, but as neither of us have ever seen the earth's curve, we have to rely on our own sources to prove our points. The statistician that realised the bias in planes that survived WW2 attacks does, however, support my preference that science and maths is more reliable that a RUclips video - even ones as good as found on this channel...😁
I always love your videos! I heard baa for both takes btw. I hope you’ve been to Canada and back already. Also: thank you for the Brontë channel suggestion! I love that channel too! Hope all is well!
Hi Stephanie! Canada is still on my to do list!! I’m so pleased you’re enjoying ‘BrontëSistersuk’ - I love it too! Hope all is well with you too Stephanie, Tez
I am so grateful that I was found by your channel lol. I am enjoying all of your videos you’re a fantastic narrator. You have real facts you’re funny and just the way you tell a story is wonderful. All of these especially since I just found it today and I’m really happy I did.
i take your point about those lovely Tudor buildings but i still say a row of essentially mass produced Victorian terraces looks better than any comparably sized new build, they do just look nicer
I never heard storm at all, only brain needle or green needle. The far/bar example partially worked. When his lips were saying far, about half the bars changed to far. And for laurel/yanny which I had heard of before, I heard laurel.
@@verynearlyinteresting @Tez thank you for the shout-out, you didn't have to do that, but it is very much appreciated. Assuming no-one unsubscribes I've finally hit the 1,000 mark. Woo hoo! Cheers matey! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
@@verynearlyinteresting Not too shabby for a guy who lost everything when this field flooded the first night we were here, ruining everything I owned (which wasn't much).
Another common sort of bias that messes up decisions is a version of the confirmation bias where the person or group will tend to think that the thing they just spent a bunch on money on is a good idea even when there is evidence against. You see this in the "safety of cars" and "durability of clothes" and many other places. Just about every car these days comes with driver assistance features that the drivers come to rely on but if you look at the death rate in the US, it has been rising. People are buying clothing that is basically disposable. In this case, you would really want those materials to biodegrade.
That last theory about buildings may be flawed because I can't think of one modern building built in my lifetime that will still be there in 500 years. We just don't build Taj Mahal's and Versailles anymore because of the cost in materials and labor make it impractical. It's scary to think that if they had drywall a 1000 years ago we might not have beautiful architecture to admire today.
Musical survival is another one. Oldies radio stations play the best of the best from several decades and ignore tge not-so-great music from those decades, leading some to say all music was better back in the day compared to now.
@@JJoy-bk8yr That's true except I don't think I would ever get tired of looking at a Scottish Castle Like I Tired of hearing The Beach Boys Surfin USA╰（‵□′）╯
I really enjoyed this video. It has changed my perception of how i see things. Sorry, this is long. I'm autistic with audio processing difficulties. In the audio section, I couldn't tell the difference between the first example of audio from the second. Even when I tried to make myself hear the word differently, I was completely unable to do so. I can always tell the natural sound from the folly sound. I have to be deeply engrossed in a movie to be able to ignore the folly effects. (Yay, LOTR) Interestingly, I have done sound design for theater and was told I'm quite good by a Broadway sound designer. I'm just wondering how much my autism plays into this. Very interesting.
Haha im guilty of survivorship bias. I talk about my 1958 Harmony Stratotone guitar that is in amazing shape. I used to say how they dont make them this way anymore, and while it's technically true. Ive since come across many of the same model and especially the gold foil pickups in them that didnt fare so well. But those arent the ones you usually see ppl raving about lol
I wonder if this also explains why the misheard lyric phenomenon is so big…when you’re told lyrics sound like something else, you hear the something else! This was so effective you had me feeling dizzy!😆
You have fostered a feeling of inadequacy in how I think of myself with the sound experiments you put forward. I was hearing no difference in any of the examples. Could it be that a certain percentage of people are immune to this effect? Good video, Jersey Bill
Heard far on the first word then it went to bar, the singing worked, only heard brain needle, Moral not Laurel, I did Mugurk in my degree. A lot of people think that tower bridge is the oldest bridge in London it's just how it was built.
Another fun fact, Tez - a lot of people who enjoy your content as much as I do would love to be able to support you with something like Patreon, or by joining your channel, or by doing that 'buy me a coffee' thing... I did suggest it once, so I think I'll keep suggesting it until you SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Ahh that’s so kind of you!! It’s something I just haven’t got round to just yet … but I recognise that it’s important for the channel and it will happen soon. Definitely watch this space … and thank you again for your kind words. Tez
I wonder how blindness affects what we hear. I’m legally blind and to me it seemed like you were saying baa like we say a sheep would say. That I’m sure was also due to accent since I’m American. Love your channel! Always interesting!
My brain must be jacked. None of these auditory illusions sound any different no matter what you tried to make me hear otherwise. Also, I don't know what the majority heard, but it sounds like laurel.
Fun fact: this channel is amazing and highly underrated and I’ve been subscribed for a while and this comment will get pinned
This comment has been duly pinned. Tez

Dude keep up the good work. Youre one of the underrated quality information youtubers in my list
Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you. Much appreciated, Tez
This is so cool. I wanted to know why when I was lip reading the speakers voice was actually louder that when I was not lip reading.
How odd!

4:02 lol you being British I heard Baa and Faa lol 😅

There is another effect which makes us see the things we see a lot at better looking.
Fair play to Very Nearly Interesting, a nice distraction from the Olympics
Ha! Thanks Philip! Tez 😊
Thought I was gonna have a stroke by the end of this video. Crazy stuff😂❤
16:32 Can't stop laughing!!!!
So glad to know there are many failures in the world besides me, lol.
I thought that too 🤣
LOL The Brainstorm and green needle were "Brain Needle"
I never heard greenstorm, brainstorm, far, or yanny. Kind of left me puzzled.
I heard them all, and even managed to hear "brain needle" if I focused on it!

working on lots of WW2 tv programmes. You only hear the heroic / amazing survival stories. The dead don't talk.
Very succinctly put Prof! Nice to see you again. Tez
Your right by brain can not handle this video turning off😂
Hey Tez.
So, believe half of what you see, nothing of what you here and ignore the survivors.
You're right. My brain is melting.

What happens if you hear ’yanel’ instead of yanny or laurel?
showing Mr. Beast as The RUclips star 7 days ago... 3 days later and..............
I heard ba, gibberish, and yarrel
You got half Yanny and half Laurel 🙈. Thanks for watching, Tez
I don't like the never pause for a breath style.

alright stop already
