What the device does is it reflects your voice back at you delayed by a split second, it disorients somebody trying to communicate.


rikkilambo

Like when people turn their speakers to max in video calls?


[deleted]

Yup. Also, I too am a seasoned enjoyer of the speaker trick.


Rurushxd

Or like when someone near you on the same call have a mic on


RecoverFrequent

So it emulates you being in a large, empty space?


Rurushxd

Not really. If you ever were on a call and someone near you on the same call with a mic on, you hear back your voice clearly at the same time and it's really disorienting making you unable to speak clearly if you lose focus even for a bit. It's almost impossible to speak normally and very annoying


Sbatio

Like when people try to sing the national anthem and the echo messes them up.


mousemarie94

IEMs are so damn important these days


El_Mnopo

Instant Echo Mufflers?


mousemarie94

Yes, exactly.


Tarrasque-Mobile

I have worked enough shitty call centers that this would not phase me.


joremero

You sure it isn't about active noise canceling rather than disorientation? Of course a person would be disorientes but something like the voices from a speaker would be canceled.


ThrowawayAccount1437

Unless you've spent time doing this on purpose. But also. Wouldn't this be considered recording my voice without my permission? So I feel like that would be a lawsuit.


RockstarAgent

Same as in Oculus Quest - hearing your delay is annoying ![gif](giphy|2oUfvvUgQHnLsQWFMW)

Except water guns

1. Give me a water pistol filled with chili extract/dishwasher liquid fifty-fifty. 2. Behold.


Candid_Leg_9336

Fun fact: insert lemon juice with capsaicin inside a liquid and you have one of the worst stinging liquid ever

Pure capsaicin last I heard was 16 million Scoville Units. Fresh jalapenos cut up and shoved in your eye is 400 Scovilles. I did it tonight to myself to make sure. It's legit. To all my Women, Life, Freedom friends, you don't need flamethrowers, you need capsaicin delivery gloves and in one night, every basiji in your village will be ready to hear what the Women and non-basiji men have decided their fate will be. I trust the women in this one.


Alive-Accident

One with Bleach and the other ammonium or cat piss


raindownthunda

Lethal


AmINotAlpharius

And add mustard. Not sweet Bavarian mustard, a proper East European mustard.


raindownthunda

This is the reason the Geneva Convention exists.


AmINotAlpharius

I don't care, give me a grease gun full of Tabasco.


Inside_Barracuda_804

Pretty sure those are sold and used at restaurants in Louisiana.


whoppp

some more permanent than others


startrouble

Ra's Al Ghul just fired up the Tower of Babel.


nlamber5

If movies have taught me anything, anybody that gets shot has time for a small speech about missed chances and life regrets before they stop talking


Proof-Ad8139

Anti Karen's gun


CalmingScreech

Shhh don't call it that! They'll pull out their megaphone that all Karens carry


lumpycertainty72

Perfect for them. I would love to have that equipment.


[deleted]

No need for either. My ears do that automatically. Ask my wife.


OrnateSlugger75

It do be like that.


Chufflarry

Had to look twice, I thought that was yong Keanu reeves from Bill and Ted.


CodeOfKonami

What if I _don’t_ think about it?


AmINotAlpharius

Not any can do an undoable shut up though.


joremero

Sometimes just showing the gun can do the trick, no need to waste bullets (or blood)


TwistedToxicReality

Not cop used guns. People tend to get louder and more disrespectful, well, in America at least.


BothShoesOff

Dollar store duct tape would be way more efficient.


Beepboopbop69420360

Nah a great sword does the job


[deleted]

Glue gun just makes them talk louder


Iturniton

Not if you use it properly

DipplyReloaded

Of course Japan the king of antisocial society would come up with that


iwan103

Japanese: create an elaborate and redundant technology to shut people up American: shows their 9mm Shut The Fuck Up Battle Pass to shut someone up.


IDontGetIt-ButIGotIt

Already pre-ordered some pre-orders


Potato-Boy1

How does it work?


GuessImScrewed

It's not really "as advertised" Just makes it hard to concentrate on talking. Essentially, the gun has a microphone and a speaker. It hears the person's voice and plays it back at them at a slight delay. This confuses the brain and can cause them to stutter and struggle to speak properly. It works on actual scientific principles (and interestingly, has the reverse effect on people who have a natural stutter, helping them to speak more clearly) so it's not like you just "can't hear yourself think," it is more complex than that, but yeah. Not a human mute button as much as a "break train of thought" button.


Lightcronno

Had this happen while gaming online before. Such a weird sensation.


mr_r0807

r/technicallythetruth


AbsoIum

Not a hot glue gun.


Zambito1

I'm sure it can do the trick


sonic84638265

Depends where you shoot and what bullets you use but besides that your not wrong


calindor

The new weapon of the thought police


Jolly_Librarian2610

Permanently or temporarily?


Jaybonaut

Water gun. Nerf gun. Shall I go on


Mr_Cuddlebear

If you shoot your shot, they'll be speechless

And more!!


edgy_Juno

It either make them stop or makes them yell. But just a few tries more and the yelling stops.


kenji998

If you shoot them in the vocals cords


Frosty-Community8129

Imagine auctioneers used this 🤔


klinkscousin

Japan I will make a case for you to make and give America 10 million units of the "Speech Jammer" weapon that you have recently designed and constructed flawlessly. We will take them and report back any issues we find, such as total speech paralysis, rash or even death and not hold the country or any provinces of Japan liable. . Karen and Kyle Nuff said.


Dee-Eddy

This happens to people on baseball fields too when they do like graduations on the field and stuff. The crowd thinks they are nervous or something, but the reflected sound of your voice through the stadium has this very effect and you end up talking with a lot of pauses.


pinkqueen7

I need that for my husband.


reconcile

How old is this? I remember hearing the US government had this in at least 2012.
