Reflecting back on some of the people I've connected with over the last 6 years here:
If I were to be challenged to a street rumble à la West Side Story, I know that there are good many of you that would have my back, both IRL and online. And I would do the same for many of you.
@voltronic I can fall down while trying to dance really good. Like, with the best of them at falling down while trying to dance.
@EnochianEntropy @voltronic - honestly, there are a few people that couldn't tell my dancing from fighting.
(I can actually spar fairly well.)
@EnochianEntropy @voltronic - but can you snap?
@0x56 @voltronic My right hand has a very, very loud snap. My left not as much.
@0x56 @voltronic I actually use my snap to call the dog.
@EnochianEntropy @0x56
I've been a music teacher for a very long time. So my snapping skills are elite level. 😆
@voltronic @0x56 I was fascinated by the process of snapping for a few weeks, so I practiced a lot to construct what’s actually happening with it because at one point I thought it was the sliding off the finger that was making the sound before I deconstructed it.
@EnochianEntropy
Yep, All you have to do is snap while lifting up your pinky and ring finger and realizing it doesn't work anymore to figure out what's going on.
@voltronic @0x56 Or even in the slightly wrong place the resonance chamber doesn’t respond correctly.
I didn’t notice that.
@EnochianEntropy @0x56
Sound science is pretty cool. I told my students today about how the reason why a whip cracks is because the tip actually breaks the sound barrier and you are hearing a small sonic boom. Their heads exploded.
@voltronic @0x56 Yeah, I’ve known that for a while but it’s still completely wild.
@0x56 @voltronic I mean, it might be kind of obvious that I’m not so good at fighting from the fact that I couldn’t even protect my hat from that apparently kind eyed hat thief.
