Wait, does he mean “Huh?”, or “Huh”?
A friend, who I suspect has ADHD, once did this to me when I was explaining some complex stuff to her. I could not possibly imagine that someone got that explanation, if they fell off the thought train halfway through. So, I asked her about it and she told me that this is how she always processes sentences. She just buffers the words in RAM until the sentence is done. Then she slurps the words up and figures out the meaning.
I’m guessing, her brain is just really fast, but then runs off and does other thoughts while she’s supposed to listen, so she trained all her life to cope via buffering instead.
I like that explanation
Thats exactly how I am. I will repeat verbatim to my wife what she just said while I am processing to communicate that I have heard her and am currently processing it and will load a response in a moment.
Made me think of Shoresy, how he asks a question, and then says “huh?” as soon as the person starts responding lol
Since young people today won’t know what “internet explorer” is…

I miss the days when Chrome and Firefox used to be healthy competitors. Then one day Chrome suddenly jumped ahead and dominated the browser wars, and continues to dominate today. I dabbled with Chrome for a little bit in the early days but then went right back to Firefox.
To this day I still don’t understand why everyone jumped ship to Chrome and never looked back, even as Google goes to war against adblockers. I thought that would turn the tide but back towards Firefox’s favor but almost nobody switched back. They’ve become the modern day IE, yet people stick with it. I just don’t get it.
I remember there being a reason why I switched. Like, there were extensions that chrome has that Firefox didn’t, or some specific drm didn’t like Firefox, or Chrome just ran better on my low-end hardware. Im not sure. But the adblock war has gotten me to switch back to Firefox.
If it’s any consolation, i switched
This is not a modern sales ptich for google. This is a factual list of what they were.
Part of it was good marketing to none tech literates. “Dont be Evil.” Was a funny slogan. In 2008 I was in high a school and chrome was new but also fast and people said it was good so I tried it.
By like 2012 it was being put default on android phones.
Google kept innovating. They had a better JS version, they had integrated flash and PDF readers (Firefox you had to modify)
Chrome just played the game very well. Hell they had an ad campaign. Even this meme is part of that viral marketing to get people to use it.
Granted they haven’t done massive things since maybe 2014. But 2008-2014 they were making moves. They were ‘cool.’ 🤷♂️
Many people don’t know what google does with their data and many don’t care about or don’t know about the google attacks.
Even if they did, Google has inserted itself into their lives everywhere. I switched my browser to Firefox but I still had a google drive because of that old email from 2008.
Still used an android from a local carrier so I couldn’t side-load.
I’m going to switch from Chrome as soon as I get around to it
It’s bloated and laggy, Google is evil now, and Microsoft seems to hate Chrome causing the experience to suck.
I tried to switch the Firefox several years ago and it just didn’t stick for some reason. now that I’m getting around to degoogling my life, it should stick this time
The hatred that Firefox generates in people is strong for some reason. I am not a modern web developer but in talking with some of those who are, they seem to have made some poor choices in the past. Also people hate the CEO’s choices. It seems not enough to be “basically the only alternative to Chrome”. Like Chrome is Donald Trump and Firefox Hillary Clinton - it’s great to offer an alternative but it just was not enough to stand on its own.
I’m typing this from Firefox on Android right now, but at work I absolutely have to stick with using Chrome since Jira and Confluence only work properly with Chrome. Many banking websites likewise. It’s not enough to have moral purity - which at least the Mozilla Corporation also lacks (e.g. firing many workers while giving enormous raise to execs, also selling user data) - if the software chooses not to be functional. But by all means, maybe they can give their CEO another huge raise while firing programmers and see how that helps develop the situation further!?
shit I’m not young anymore!
almost like half leg in my grave…
Lmfao I forgot about this one haha
Just like everyone forgot about Opera? :-P
That’s an auditory processing disorder. Fun thing is, it’s hard to tell the difference between it and deafness until the words click or don’t
I was so convinced I ruined my hearing with rock and roll music but no, my brain just don’t work good.
I think both for me haha
Please don’t ask a second time as well because now I’m just gonna open two copies.
one of my professors told us to develop a really good “hmm”
I’ve gotten good at mixing it up between: “sure,” “right,” “absolutely,” “of course”… Just have to make sure I don’t accidentally agree with something vile
And another professor will tell you to avoid filler words.
The way I imagine it is like a car going through a roundabout and missing the exit and taking another or sometimes multiple turns before getting out.
delayed retry of failed operation. most of the times it works for the 3rd try…
My partner just… waits… now… rather than repeating themselves, because they know full well I do this.
It’s very annoying when I legitimately didn’t catch some of it.
Haha. You cried wolf one too many times.
that I got a lot, even if I don’t really have ADHD.
It’s just noise you make while thinking of what you’re going to say, not unlike “um.”
I have the same response, though I’ve always ascribed a different reason to it. I like to think about what people say before I respond. People are uncomfortable with silences. The conversation flows in a much more smooth and socially acceptable way if I can fill my thinking pauses with the other person repeating what they just said. I dont think I’d do it if people didnt need to incessantly fill every silence in a conversation with words

This is how I used to think until I was shown that no, this is a problem that >80% of the population doesn’t have, and no, misplacing your coffee mug an average of 3 times during your workday is not typical.
Only 3? This guy is organized
It’s called Auditory Processing Delay, it’s pretty common in people with ADHD. I get it myself. It’s kind of like your attention is elsewhere and you “record” what somebody’s said and then replay it and process it once you’re done with your current train of thought.
I’ve always had this problem and didn’t know it had a name. I also am 99% sure I have inattentive add. I really need to get an official diagnosis
Wow. I know I have this problem as well as some ADHD. Interesting that they are related.
huh?
Apparently, nowadays everything is caused by ADHD.
huh?
They said 🗣️📣 :
Apparently, nowadays everything is caused by ADHD.
Thanks for talking in my direction and not mumbling.
huh?
I SAID THANKS FOR TALKING IN MY DIRECTION AND NOT MUMBLING
Not everything. See, your comment is caused by simple ignorance.
A third of the world’s population has ADHD, so you shouldn’t be surprised that a lot of things are caused by an extremely common disability.
A third? Lmao. And I guess you are one of those who diagnosed themselves, too. 👍
I’ve been diagnosed by three independent people in the medical field: A doctor, an RN, and a psychiatrist.
Looked it up and it’s actually 11% (in the US at least) but that’s still a significant percentage of the population, so my point still stands.
33% or 11% is the same, right right lmao.
By the way, the real number closer to 4% for adults worldwide. But I guess you’ll come back again and just say “my point still stands”. 👍
I didn’t say it was. Stop making up strawman arguments.
