Our country is fractured. Politics is tearing us apart like never before. What we desperately need now is something to pull us from the depths of our discord and unite us as a people, a reason to look past our differences and choose love.
But you’re not gonna find anything like that here. Instead, I offer you a glimpse into the soul of man, and there is, indeed, darkness.
Just listen to this clip and answer this question, which has confounded the internet ever since it was asked on Reddit a few days ago:
Is it #Yanny or #Laurel? Listen to the video to hear the recording. STORY: https://t.co/xX5rjo3dkQ pic.twitter.com/OPGW3EVzom

According to that ABC poll of more than 100,000 people, 45% of you correctly identified the word as “Yanny,” and 55% of you are out of your damn minds.
Bret, please join me in my complete befuddlement:
I have listened to the yanny/laurel clip for 8 hours straight and the results are:

Yanny: 14400
Laurel: 0
Take that laurel hearers #yanny #laurel
Make no mistake. The “Laurel” audio mutants live among us. They might be your neighbor, your coworker, your family... maybe even a celebrity (gasp!)
it's so clearly laurel. I can't even figure out how one would hear yanny.

I'm puzzled that anyone can hear #Yanny - I hear #Laurel very clearly. It's not visual like the McGurk effect (https://t.co/cXgpBD29jt)– O can't even begin to hear #Yanny https://t.co/lFKWOABBD1

Et tu, Ellen?
Literally everything at my show just stopped to see if people hear Laurel or Yanny. I hear Laurel. https://t.co/efWRw1Gj0L

And this from one sports columnist:
Nine months from now:
“Oh you had twins, what are their names?”
“Yanny and Laurel.”
“You named both your kids Laurel?”#Yanny #Laurel #TeamLaurel

There has to be some explanation. Dylan, help us out:
Okay, you're not crazy. If you can hear high freqs, you probably hear "yanny", but you *might* hear "laurel". If you can't hear high freqs, you probably hear laurel. Here's what it sounds like without high/low freqs. RT so we can avoid the whole dress situation. #yanny #laurel 🙄 pic.twitter.com/RN71WGyHwe

The dress. Ah yes. The white and gold dress. Don’t get me started.
