        I’ve been hearing the Donkey Kong song in my head for the last 6 hours. If you know how to make it stop, I’m all ears.

          Things tend to linger when we don’t understand them or didn’t initially hear them well

          We reprocess them until they make sense

          Yes, I mean I have 10/10 visualisation/internal hearing/etc but the language denotation of “hearing” something that does not enter your auditory nerve is… odd
