Completely real story

It rolls up into the other side of the cassette. Just flip it over.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 58 minutes ago

I thought the sentense was going to lead to something like "It rolls up into the other 8 inaccessibly tiny dimensions of our space."

I love your oldschool explanation though!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

The best and the worst go straight to your brain and live there rent free.

Unfortunately, nobody has figured out how toget rid of the bad songs that drown out the good ones.

oh when will they ever learn? oh when will they... ever learn

After you listen to a song, the secret police from the RIAA come and lock it up in a small, dank cell given minimal sustenance, until the next time they can send it to some seedy hotel, suburban home, or automobile, to turn a trick and make them some more money, like some sort of whoo-re for the ears.

Where does the light go when you flip the switch?

Check your fridge.

Hello lightness my new friend

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 41 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

As the waves from ocean, the music crashes on the beaches in your ears

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 57 minutes ago

And slowly erodes it.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 points 8 hours ago

Like sand through your beer glass, these are the waves of our lives

It stays in our brain and we subconsciously put it into new music years later, thereby keeping the industry’s corporate lawyers in cocaine for future decades to come.

I was into neural net plagiarism before it was cool!

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 45 points 12 hours ago

You absorb it into your soul and it changes you irreversibly forever.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 20 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It goes into your memory. That's why you can remember a song that you heard before.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago

That’s why music works at all.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 18 points 12 hours ago

The Langoliers eat it.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 83 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

Heat. Everything ends up as heat.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Until the day that even heat dies.

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 10 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

Well, heat just spread over a larger area but it doesn't get destroyer nor turn into any other form of energy.

But it doesn't die per se.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

If you consider particle excitement to be the definition of heat and subparticle fields to be different forms of energy then it does actually change, but that's just semantics.

Sounds move very very fast, faster than a runner or a car, so it goes very very far away.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

But gets shower and more tired as he runs, until he dies?

Now do a "Calvin's Dad" explanation.

[–] gjoel@programming.dev 4 points 12 hours ago

It dissolves, that's where dust comes from.

"Ultimately it increases entropy... let me tell you about the heat death of the universe..."

"No, Mom! I'm still afraid of the False Vacuum monster laying underneath my ground state!"

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 56 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

If those were likely to hapoen during our lifetime then they would have already. Now prion disease...

Good night!

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Scare me with prion disease?

The music stays in your head until your forget it. Music only exists in your head

[–] Wynnstan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It stays playing in my head on repeat until a different piece of music replaces it.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 1 points 34 minutes ago

I can attest, this is playing in my head right now

Some of that sound rearranges some of your neurons so that you can listen to Never Gonna Give You Up whenever you read this

[–] Marleyinoc@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

That should be required viewing. For everyone.

(Okay the water coming out the hose was freaky.)

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

It dissipates into the air like butterflies, or a cloud of dust.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

Into darkness, my old friend.

I've come to talk with you again.

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains

Within the sound of silence

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

into our minds and into our hearts

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 36 points 18 hours ago

It gets stuck in my head for 3 to 4 days until something newer comes along and pushes it out.

"Everywhere, all at once. That's why if you put your ear close to speakers it might collect too much and that can hurt your ear"

[–] rhacer@lemmy.world 42 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Everyone knows this duh!

Into your heart!

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago

Groove is stored in the heart

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

Oh, and while the king was looking down

The jester stole his thorny crown

The courtroom was adjourned

No verdict was returned

And while Lenin read a book on Marx

A quartet practiced in the park

And we sang dirges in the dark

The day the music died

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

As someone with a degree in Philosophy, I don't think this is really a philosophical question. The science is interesting and useful to know
