To comment on the video of course

If you hold it tense you get a rumble as described but the first time I tense it will make a little click. If I keep applying tension and release eventually it will stop clicking and just I’ll just hear the rumble and it will take a bit to “reset” to where it clicks again.

Humans are weird.

Edit: I quick kagi search turns up a Reddit thread saying the clicking is caused by “Voluntary Opening of the Eustachian Tubes” which is equalizing the pressure in my ears. That sorta explains why it stops clicking after a bit.

I listen to the daily and even now they still use euphemisms for Trump’s lies instead of calling them lies. I understand it’s because you can’t know intent but it’s still annoying.

I can do this as well, as can one of my siblings and my father so I assume there is a generic component. Used to call it “ear clicking” since it is audible to others if they put their ear to yours in a quiet environment.

I figured out that was the name when googling about it some years ago.

I mean do they care a bit. If it doesn’t sell at auction or goes for basically nothing they could lose whatever value they gave to you for trade in.

To be fair to target most business is just talk when it comes to these types of things.

Consumers need to understand that corporate support for any particular initiative begins and ends with how it affects the bottom line.

Disney, Google, even Costco cannot actually care about any of these things. The corporate incentives do not allow for it.

Putin does anyway and thus so does Trump

I’m honestly surprised anyone does them anymore. No one who is happy will show up to those things just to lob soft ball questions so you’re guaranteed to get a bunch of negative soundbites.

I would argue it is part of their job to do this but the incentives don’t align at all.
