just science related topics. please contribute
note: clickbait sources/headlines aren't liked generally. I've posted crap sources and later deleted or edit to improve after complaints. whoops, sry
Rule 1) Be kind.

Still more evidence that Daredevil's superpower isn't being able to navigate using echolocation, but to be able to take a beating (which he inherited from his father).
Daredevils power is world on fire.
Tell me hooooow
A lot of practice, our brains are really good at figuring out sensory info
It's a stretch to say "anyone can learn echolocation" but kudos to those who've mastered this technique. I've always found this fascinating.
OK, so how can I learn it?
This was kind of cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsg81Tn3s28 I didn't like the first wall example because the clicking cadence changes, but the field and trees were very clear
From the article:
"The researchers trained 14 sighted and 12 blind people for between two and three hours twice a week over 10 weeks. They started by teaching participants to produce mouth clicks, then trained them on three tasks. The first two involved judging the size or orientation of objects. The third involved navigating virtual mazes, which participants moved through with the help of simulated click-plus-echo sounds tied to their positions."
Yes, I read the article. How does the training work?
Well, they started by teaching participants to produce mouth clicks. Then they did exercises judging the size or orientation of objects, and they also had them move around with the help of simulated click-plus-echo sounds tied to their positions.
i've located the echo!
ello!
ello!
llo!
They probably bumped into walls a lot, until they learmed

Writing just "this" adds nothing to the discussion.
"I was about to type the same" is another option
Showing there is some sort of consensus is not nothing
Complaining about an internet comment thread as if you're a teacher in a 3rd grade class isn't helpful tho
Fortunately, we have a block button, bye
Since the dawn of the internet it is known that "I agree!" comments don't add anything to the discussion. If you don't want to learn something new, then, as your teacher, I can't do much, son.
