You hear the dumbest line in your life... it happens.

You hear it again, you think what a weird coincidence.

You hear it from 1/2 the population, you have to fucking ask. How the FUCK does this bullshit make sense to people? Headphones add noises over already existing noise. They do not subtract. Also, if you set them loud enough to outscream the environment, you will go deaf in 3 days.

@LukeAlmighty Headphones aren't enough you need to know how to turn off your brain and zone out

@LukeAlmighty Noise canceling headphones combined with quiet music work pretty well for me

@LukeAlmighty this literally says 'mute people', not 'mute every noise'
plus when your ears are occupied by nice music or podcast of your choice, it's easier to filter out the unwanted noise: you don't have that ability cuz you have 'tism

@tomie
But then, it's not the headphones muting them, is it?

Yes, I know, that it's a tism post, but what the hell?

@LukeAlmighty I'd still say that's headphones, afterall they play whatever sounds the user needs to shut off ambient noise
maybe it would help to think of it as reverse glasses: yeah, someone still sees with eyes in the end, but it's not a mistake to say that someone can't see without glasses even if it's not true, strictly speaking
+ if you're wearing headphones, more considerate normies might not bother you when they otherwise would
