    I've finally come around to watching docs and shit on YouTube in 1.5x speed. I've read of people doing it for years now and thought it a bit ridiculous, but having done it on quite a few docs over the last few weeks, I've come around to its value.

    So.

    What if I raised my child on 1.5x speed YouTube videos?

    Would it make her brain quicker?

    • The weird thing is that you really notice the differing speeds that people speak at. People who speak quickly anyway are comically incoherent.Nairn
    • Life is better at normal speed, mateOBBTKN
    • Don't you think that we already live quite fast?OBBTKN
    • I don't watch everything at 1.5x - just certain types of docs. Right now I'm drinking cider and watching a video at 0.5x and laughing my ass off.Nairn

    • I like to read. It's is different than video and develops more important parts of the braindeathboy
    • i do this too. sometimes even 1.75 speedmicrokorg
    • i've watched 1.5 for years. this year bumped it up to 1.75. watching videos at 1x seems so slow but normal interaction doesn't seem affectedimbecile
    • I use 1.25 for anything longer than 15–20 minutes.i_monk
