debate

Can you believe we're already into the 2020 presidential election cycle? Neither can we. Last night's democratic debate certainly came with its fair share of ridiculous moments, including but not limited to our new favorite person Marianne Williamson - spiritual guru, author, and activist. 

No, that is not a joke.

Williamson has been getting meme'd and mocked like crazy for her recent comments on the "Orwellian" nature of government-mandated vaccinations. Last night she may have hit an all-time high with her hippie-like comments including that she planned to "harness love" in order to defeat Trump in the election.

In what feels like the blink of an eye, people have since been creating memes and digging up old tweets made by Williamson, and we gotta say: they're really...something.

Great news for people who are mourning the demise of the blue/gold dress debacle: the internet has a new and equally inane war to fight. Our latest mind-stumping debate comes courtesy of Cloe Feldman, who tweeted an audio recording asking whether users heard the word "Yanny" or the word "Laurel." Our office, after an hour of screaming and playing the robotic voice on various mediums, is still at a stalemate of 2/2 Yanny vs. Laurel. I, anonymous admin, know that the truth lies only in the word 'Yanny.' 

People on Reddit and beyond have begun theorizing why people would hear such different sounds. The obvious answer would be that people who hear 'Yanny' are genetic. My 'Laurel' leaning colleagues disagree, claiming that it is a right/left brain debate, or that it has to do with how we perceive pitch. Either way, people on Twitter are TOTALLY FREAKING OUT. 

Tell us, readers: What do you hear? 

Get ready for a roundup of the fallout from last night's presidential debate.
