This week has had some dark news and it’s only Tuesday, so naturally the internet has managed to distract itself with a completely pointless debate. A video of a computer generated voice saying….something, has caused intense consternation between listeners who think they hear “Yanny,” and those who think they hear “Laurel.”

The video first garnered attention on Reddit a few days ago but on Tuesday it started making the rounds on other social media sites and quickly spurred a full-blown, hair-pulling, teeth-grinding online brawl. Though some people say the sound changes the more they listen (and, to be honest, I can hear both), many people only hear either “Yanny” or “Laurel” and are full on perplexed as to how anyone can hear something different. It’s 2018’s audio version of “the dress.”
