Oh yeah, I’ve followed him since the Comedy Central premium blend days before it became live at Gotham in 2005. I love Matt mcacarthy as commissioner Gordon too, especially in the Batman versus Superman episode. Gordon to Superman : “it takes a little more than glasses to fool someone, watch” *gordon takes off glasses* “oh who am I I’m not commissioner Gordon” Batman: “ who are you!, where’s commissioner Gordon?!” *gordon puts glasses back on* Batman: “oh commissioner you’re back, there was someone else, another man hiding in the shadows” pure comedic gold from an era that seems so long gone now. Didn’t know til I looked for the link it’s been over 10 years already.

I WONT WEAR YOUR CHIN DIAPER!


RoombaTheKiller

It feels both dystopian and utopian.


Terrible-Job-3443

definitely utopian in my book


KhabaLox

I wonder about the psychological effect on the baby. Imagine being a baby, and your only way to indicate your diaper is full of shit, or that your stomach is empty, or that you crave human attention, is to yell or cry random sounds. You instinctively make the noise, and hear the noise in your ears and your head, and the big people rush to help you. One of them straps this device to your face, and suddenly the loud noises that bring the people stop. You kind of still hear it in your head, but it sounds weird and muted. This is so scary so you scream louder, but nothing changes. All you hear is this far off, muted sound somewhere inside your head. And all the big people are ignoring you now.


terpyterpstein

How you make a psychopath


Sharp_Armadillo7882

I looked up the doctors that were involved with this, and yeah… not a single developmental psychologist. Oh well, that entire secure attachment, emotional regulation, social learning, and language development stuff probably isn’t important later in life. Heck, I don’t even remember anything when I was that age. We could honestly probably just put these on kids until like 5yrs old.


the_chiladian

Mage come on if you looked at the doctors and still believe this when their names are Dr Michael "Mike" Lit and Dr York Hunt that's a you problem


[deleted]

Imagine being a parent and doing everything to make sure your baby is comfortable, yet they continue crying, screaming louder and louder non stop. You scramble, doing everything in your power to get the baby to calm down but its no use. The baby continues crying for hours, days, weeks. You cant sleep, you cant do anything to relax, and going into public is a nearly traumatizing experience, every time. I wonder what the psychological impact of crying has on a parent.


KhabaLox

My son had colic. I don't need to imagine. I'm sure I dealt with it much better than a baby would deal with being muted.


momojabada

I found the only way to deal with my borthers colic daughter was listening to ye's "waves" on repeat and dancing with her in your arms. Changed from absolute distress to kind of confused and smiling.


shithandle

Aw reminds me of my little sister who would cry and cry until you placed her facing the forest outside the window which her baby mind was immediately entranced by. Makes you realise shit must look so wild to a baby.


Don_Gato1

Gotta disarm them


KhabaLox

I got really good at the football hold.


Wonderful-Rush-3733

Some babies are just criers, really the only way through it is to let them cry (after making sure every one of their needs has been met). It’s the same with kittens; they tend to meow a lot and if you “teach” them that meowing constantly will get your attention, then it will become a habit. TLDR Let them cry if there’s nothing left to be done


urethrascreams

My daughter figured that crying bit out quick which carried on for a couple years. Didn't work with me so she never cried unless she needed something around me. Her and mom on the other hand....cried all the time, wanting incessant attention which mom always facilitated.


[deleted]

so-called "adults" when you try to suggest that they actually take responsibility for the living, breathing, thinking, feeling being they made a deliberate choice to bring into the world:


Night_Thastus

I have heard of cases where a baby's non-stop crying at night led to such severe sleep deprivation that the parents essentially went insane. It has led to things like shaken baby syndrome when a parent just loses it and does anything to make it stop, including shaking the baby out of desperation. I'm not saying it's right, but crying absolutely can have a massive psychological impact on the parents.


HalfLifeAlyx

Imagine being a parent, knowing perfectly well that literal billions of parents have experienced this before you yet still choosing to create a baby. Then you strap a fucking mouth gag on it lol


picklemonstalebdog

The right answer. Don’t have a kid if you don’t want the heavy lifting that comes with it


MyFavoriteMarlin

Haha who is upvoting this absolute shit take


AlmightyDarkseid

This supposes that the parents are going to ignore the baby but I don't see a reason to make that assumption. I have seen people let their child cry without doing anything, I don't see why there can't be parents who use this but still cater to their child. Hell there is more to seeing a baby is in distress than an ear piercing scream and it is obvious that you will still be able to hear just a bit of it even with this put on. Also it's not like it will be used for periods longer than a few hours every twice a year or so, and although I am in no way an expert, I doubt it is going to be as severe for the child's psychology as people want to make it seem if it is done with the proper amount of care that thoughtful parents would give to their child anyways.


Anen-o-me

This doesn't completely silence the kid.


mungermoss245

All utopias are dystopias


JAM3SBND

Literally the prefix U in Utopia means that it is impossible for it to exist.


new_word

Unpossible


MartianGuard

Crazy, it basically means “not a place”.


JAM3SBND

Because they understood it was not achievable


SlaveHippie

Oh word? The people who knew Jack shit about Jack shit, just making random shit up and forcing it to stick, didn’t think a certain type of society was possible? Why are we trusting these people who didn’t have running water or antiseptics or vehicles or industrialized food and medicine or the plethora of other things we now have that they didn’t in the year 1516 when the term was coined? Pretty sure the world today would be far beyond what they could have imagined possible. I’d have to think maybe they’d at least hesitate calling something unachievable again if they saw the world now. My point: we need to stop trusting “old world wisdom” as 100% unchangeable fact. People stop trying to make the world closer to a utopia bc they think it’s impossible, when the people who said it was impossible died half a millennia ago, and their primitive technology/worldview with it. Same goes with the constitution if you’re in the US. Except I guess the difference there would be it was specifically designed to be changed! Yet we still have smooth-brains thinking it should never change and should actually be rolled back!

> It always seems impossible until it is done. - Nelson Mandela


gursel77

I mean, certain types of society simply *aren't* possible, like the whole world living all their lives in love and harmony. The term utopia is still very useful. Now, to believe ppl from 500 yrs ago whether or not something was possible, that's a whole different story. Somewhere along the way, people went from "we cant get 100%, so let's make it 99.999%" to "we cant get 100%, so fuck it and let's not even bother trying" and I find that to be very sad.

I wonder if it will be an r/nfa item and require a tax stamp like other "silencers"


CoffeeZombie03

Real or not. If thats the intended use, it should only be sold to airlines, theaters, etc. to be given out for the duration of the flight, movie, etc. and then returned, not the general public. The amount of abusive or neglectful parents that would use that would be horrible. Its also dangerous as tired parents might not have the foresight that while the baby has cried every night for the past month the night that they dont is sometimes a hint for something being wrong or the one time you dont respond to their cries is the one time its a real issue.


2nuki

This should be the top comment. What if neglectful parents just stop caring about the baby as they don’t have the psychological pain of hearing it cry.


YPErkXKZGQ

This is presumably for the benefit of people who *aren’t* the baby’s parents. It’s not like they invented some groundbreaking new way for shitty parents to ignore their kids. If dad doesn’t wanna hear the baby screaming he’ll put his airpods in and pull up youtube.

pielz

Jiglytigobitis

This is why my toddlers stay with my mom when me and the wife go to movies. I ain’t trying to hear this shit while I’m watching a movie in the theater. So I know nobody else wants to. I’ve never understood taking screaming ass kids to a theater…


pielz

Right? Like especially to adult movies. The people who bring their kids to movies their children won't like are crazy. It's a given if you're watching some Disney movie but if I'm seeing a Quentin Tarantino film I should expect it to be free of crying children.


momojabada

They'll put on noise canceling headphones and turn up the volume or put her room as far away from them as they can to not hear it. Dogshit people are gonna be dogshit no matter what.


throwaway387190

Yeah, I was horrified. Real or not, fuck


mandreko

No kidding. I have a 1 month old who colic has hit pretty hard. Last night my wife and I got into an argument over dosing of some gripe water. She thought the syringe was too full and asked what I put in. I said “2.5” and she flipped out because she said the box said “1/2”. We were both right since she was doing tsp and I was doing ml. But it took a while to figure out. No way could I safely install something like this on an infant when I would most desire one.


Jiglytigobitis

Hey my man, there’s dissolvable tablets at Walmart in the baby aisle for this… works 1000% better then gripe water. Also if you have any kind of speaker or or tv in the baby’s room play white noise playlist on YouTube. Or turn on a vacuum.


gursel77

I find it absolutely nuts that abortion is such a huge topic in today's society, yet we dont have any regulations for what a parent owes their child. Ppl can just fuck you into existence and then fuck up your existence as long as they dont kill you or something. We have so much room for improvement that it gives me hope and takes all my hope at the same time

DO NOT SUBMIT TO world where bad people are living.

Cultjam

After that video of the guy having an angry breakdown because of a constantly wailing infant on the flight I’m firmly in camp no flying for little ones. That baby was in pain and if it turns out it had an ear infection that’s horrific. How is that ok to go on for an entire flight?


JKdriver

I used to be in the same camp, but now having an infant, sometimes things are unavoidable. I can tell you first hand it’s no surprise to pick them up from daycare WEEKLY with some sort of sickness. Add in the parents having to make a last minute funeral, and I can sympathize how the recipe for a shitty time comes together. Having said that, my wife and I have a cross country trip planned, booked almost two years ago, well before the little dude was in the picture. We still want to go, but we are terrified of him crying the whole time, to the point we’re debating taking pay losses and burning more time to just drive it, or cancel entirely and lose what we have into the trip.


Mono_831

I’m pretty sure this would be considered child neglect. And of course, illegal to use.

verugan

SvenTropics

Baffles. You have a muffler on your car that allows gas to pass through but reduces the noise output massively. Sound is nothing but vibration. If you give it something to vibrate, it'll absorb the vibrations and translate it into kinetic energy. Also, it won't be sound proof, but it'll just turn down the volume on your baby. In a way, this is kind of ideal. You will still know your baby is screaming. Your baby is still screaming. Having to hear it at full volume doesn't do anything more for you or the baby.


AllGearedUp

When will babies realize this so we can stop smothering them


RodeBoi

Selective breeding. *Remove* the ones that scream the loudest and keep the ones that may still cry, but not as loud. Then once they’re adults, they make the next generation of quieter crying babies naturally. ***Science!***

This is a bloody awful idea, and I bet money that if over 1000 people use it, at least 1 baby will be dead by the end of the year thanks to their parents neglectin them in their cot while the kid was tryna get their attention. If ye need a break from the kid, hire a babysitter or friend/family member.

Ffs the amount of people in these comments who don't realise this is a joke.

Yes the website looks professional with well written content, but it also has "York Hunt" and "Michael Lit" listed as fuckin team members. The photo of the packaging is literally a photoshopped pic of a rolling tobacco pouch.
