After trying to learn how to use a DAW (digital audio workstation) I end up listening to this so I can hear the same sound with slight variations. Eventually it gets to the same point as when you say a word too much and it starts to lose meaning. Seriously say something like 20+ times, it doesn't click as the word unless you think about it. I'm sure for some people it does, but I've gone back to some trials later and thought oh that's pretty close when I thought it was way off during my workings with it. The human senses aren't as static as we think, but I probably just need more ear training to overcome it.

Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

That's called semantic satiation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_satiation
I learned something new, of course there's a name for everything heh. Thank you!
Few things more satisfying than learning about what you've pondered off and on for a few decades heh. To be fair never looked it up just thought it was neat it happens.
He should try flipping it
