    since 1953 all music has been tuned to 440Hz. This frequency has NO SCIENTIFIC RELATIONSHIP with our universe and actually causes the brain to become agitated.

    fuck yes, this is the random all-caps crankery I get out of bed for! I love the idea that 440hz agitates the brain, but not in a scientific way (at least not for our universe?)

      since 1969 all computers have been running Unix. This operating system has NO SCIENTIFIC RELATIONSHIP with our universe and actually causes the brain to become agitated.

        I like my music the way I like my CPUs, 432 Hz.

            Here, have a Macintosh Centris/Performa 610!

            That button on the right? It’s not a floppy eject button, much to the chagrin of hordes of students during the 1990s, but an on/off power button …

      This reminds me of when I was planning out a tubular bells project. there is an amount of crankery around various notes and I came across a series of videos about the various Cs and their use in healing or chakra alignment.

      When i went to buy some tuning forks I noted some more weird mysticism, but hey at least they produced a nice set of C notes.
