Man Asks The Internet For Help After Hearing Voices Coming From His Fan, But There's A Logical Explanation

My *what* email address, now???

What's this thing asking for my credit card number here?

I was told long ago that has something to do with Gamergate.

Nobody is going to spend money on raid passes in Pokemon Go if they can just get the shiny in the home console game they already own.

I literally saw people blaming Snackwell, a fictitious character, for the other legendaries being shiny-locked. Lol, no, blame Pokemon Go.

Also, I've said this before and I'll say it again - The main "reason" isn't just because of a financial deal with (name of game store). Guarantee you in a few months, these will be raids with a chance of Shiny in Pokemon Go.

I swear it's like these "marketing geniuses" either have Main Character Syndrome of the worst sort, or they're alien lifeforms from another planet that have no rudimentary knowledge of what human beings are like.

I'm also getting a little fatigued of seeing people defend this event with, "But it was about getting people to go to the stores again".

Wow, what a brilliant marketing strategy! As if (name of game store) didn't have a bad enough reputation as it is, now people are going to hate them even more.

Also, for the record, I'm not buying them. I just happened to notice this in a YouTube video where the 'tuber was showing the ebay listings for them.

And how are ebay listings for these cards saying things like, "221 sold", "80 sold", etc. Is it possible to fake that information? Because if not, how did they get that many cards to sell? I'm guessing these were stolen in transit for that to be possible.

But this is different.

My other shinies I use in online raids all the time, but they're easy enough for anyone to get who has patience and looks up the sandwich recipes. My first shiny Annihilape was just a random shiny Mankey I found. The 2nd one I specifically hunted and got within moments of a sandwich drop.

I managed to get 1 code card for Shiny Miraidon, possibly the last card in my entire area, and in some ways, I almost wish I didn't. I won't even use that Miraidon in online raids because it feels too much like I'm rubbing it in the face of the vast majority of people who weren't able to get one.

A sort of "middle ground" argument I've seen is that it's your mind trying to make sense of the white noise and hearing talking or music where there is none. But again, why with one particular fan? Other fans make white noise and never heard it in those. And bed frames don't make white noise either.

It's very easy to be skeptical of that claim because I doubt a serious mental health issue would only manifest when a particular fan in a particular location is turned on.

The second is that it's schizophrenia. I traced the source of this claim and they all go back to one website of a psych person who claimed outright that it's audio hallucinations and you're not crazy for hearing them, but lol, yes you actually are crazy.

Beautiful.

So, basically in doing some research, I've seen two schools of thought on why this fan-radio thing happens. The first is that it's possible for metal objects to pick up strong radio signals from nearby towers and the fan's vibrations are an excellent conductor.

Now, for as common as this seems to be, I couldn't find a clear-cut video of it happening, and since I don't live in that part of the world nor own that fan anymore, it hasn't happened to me since. So I *can't* get a video of it now. I wish someone would...

It turns out that a lot of people have reported very similar phenomenon, happening with everything from fans, to guitar amps, to refrigerators, to toy guns and even bed frames. It seems to be that the objects are picking up AM radio or CB radio signals.

It was too faint and garbled to make out what it was saying, but it was just audible enough to be very annoying, especially if I was trying to sleep. Turning off the fan instantly stopped the sound, so I knew it was coming from the fan.

I looked up info about this on the internet....

I just had a sudden memory of something weird that happened long ago, when I lived in another part of the world. I had this large fan that sat on the floor. Desktop fans weren't really a thing back then and it wasn't the type that goes in a window. Whenever it was turned on, I would hear talking.

I guess the "crown" is its head, but I can't unsee the thing below it as the head, complete with green eyes and mouth. It looks a lot like this Digimon.

I saw a topic elsewhere about Pokemon designs you misinterpreted.

I cannot, for the life of me, see Zygarde the correct way. I see a giant bunny with long, floppy ears wearing a crown. I was confused AF when I saw people calling it "Optimus Prime".

Chatot gets some flack, too, and yeah the head being a literal note and the tail a..metronome, I guess?...is odd, but it's still a better "parrot pokemon" design.

This is my #1 Least Favorite Gen 9 Pokemon. Yes, I think this is even worse than the starter evolutions and Goldengho and whatever other ones people complain about more often. I just can't with this thing. That hair is so nasty-looking.

And what the hell is with the double set of wings? Like those wings that lay at its sides under the other wings that never move??

And the name... I really hope this thing had a better name in the game's original language. It's like they threw together a random parrot word and a random human name.

And I really, *really* hate it when Pokemon have different "forms" and literally the only difference in the forms is the color. Nothing else, just the color. This thing is like that.

And you have to look at it every time you warp somewhere in Paldea because it's the region's flying taxi bird.

And I *love* parrots, but this looks like it was drawn by someone who was only told what a parrot looks like and never actually saw one.

That godawful *hair*. 🤮

Every time the internet spoils something from Legends Z-A without me asking, I'm going to come to this Negativity Generator and generate some of my own, starting with this....

I *hate* this thing. There are not enough words to describe how much I loathe and despise this thing.
