You can work with music on??

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Almost playing continously at work

What kind of unit of measurement is a Europe per Berlin?

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 5 hours ago

my fellow americans: "Sounds pretty awesome, and so fancy and European. Throw it on the pile with all the other imperial units!"

I used to listen to Meshuggah at full volume to fall asleep. My roomate thought I was crazy but polyrhythms soothe my savage brain.

You're going to be deaf by 35.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm 39 and still not deaf.

Your move.

Hehe, seems the deafness did get you, though!

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

For me it's Japanese Club Music.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 hours ago

EDM (chill stuff), lofi, jpop and city pop

Not working is (hard) rock, edm (more intense), rap and jpop.

Usually work is less lyrical or even fully instrumental vs free time is more attention grabbing stuff :)

I am literally doing this now, are we really all the same?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Considering you're fucking around on Lemmy while writing that email... yes.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago

My brand of neurospicey has a heavy musical lean to it. I wanted to be a school music director at one point. Took years and years of classes but it wasn't in the cards. I can't listen to music now, without directing it in my head or drumming out the beat. The more chaotic and out there, the more i focus on the music and not what im supposed to be doing. For me, its got to be chill lofi or jazz or nothing at all.

There are memes I've been wanting –but unready!– to post for literal years.

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 2 points 6 hours ago

You're not alone there!

Ah yes, hacking by self medicating.

Adhd and drinking amounts of caffeine that would explode a gorilla's heart. Name a more iconic duo

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago

It's so specific it's mean.

Ooh, I must try this.... Maybe not so loud though

[–] booscience@beehaw.org 8 points 2 days ago

This, but I’m building a bocce ball court in the back yard to get closer to the plants I need to repot but it’s giving me anxiety because there’s so many. So instead I dig a hole in the yard 40x10 while blasting Pheobe Bridgers

As soon as I blast heavy metal in my headset I get into the zone. Great for getting shit done, bad for my hearing.

I've recently found using my Skullcandy crushers to play music in a manner that would make a nightclub blush while studying can keep me from constantly looking around at everything but what I'm studying

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Mind your eardrums.

Replace music with audiobook/comedy-recording and watch my house get tidy.

Watch out for the tinnitus, static

[–] OldBoy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 21 hours ago

This is me. Lots of very loud music in my past and now at 51 I still have surprisingly good hearing (can hear those anti-teen mosquito speakers if I'm close-ish) but the tinnitus gets wild sometimes. Luckily for me it works like white noise when I need to sleep. Bonus!

Ugh....the bane of my existence. Use earplugs kids
