Why can't I hear my own thoughts?

Did you know some people can't hear themselves thinking? And it's not because it's too noisy. The post, which has been circulating this week, explains that some people have verbal internal narratives, where they hear their own thoughts as sentences, while others don't and instead have "abstract, non-verbal thoughts". The tweet has now received almost 168,000 likes, while thousands have responding to the post, sharing their shock at the discovery. One user said: "Wait, so some people don't have to suffer through the voice in their head going on a constant monologue?? Is that what it means to achieve inner peace?" Another wrote: "WHAT? I thought everyone heard what they wanted to say before saying it. Maybe it's what determines speaking speeds. I think people that hear what they're about to say can speak fast than people who can't." A third was so shocked by what they had learned they simply wrote: "All of a sudden i forgot how to think." Another user revealed that they had heard of a similar thing before adding: "A friend of mine has no mental images at all. It's called antaphantasia and for years he thought when people said "picture in your mind.." that is was just a metaphor.

"We just spent hours comparing memory, dreams, and other brain-related experiences."

Can you say the F word on YouTube?

Previously, YouTube allowed for light profanity like "hell" or "damn" in monetized videos. Now, though, YouTube will allow moderate profanity like "s**t" and "b**ch" in the first 30 seconds of a video, as well as infrequent strong profanity and censored profanity (the f-word, etc.)

gamespot.com - Finally, YouTubers Can Swear Without Risking Demonetization

Navigating YouTube's rules for monetization can be a big headache for content creators, but YouTube is expanding its policies for profanity and sensitive content. Previously, YouTube allowed for light profanity like "hell" or "damn" in monetized videos. Now, though, YouTube will allow moderate profanity like "s**t" and "b**ch" in the first 30 seconds of a video, as well as infrequent strong profanity and censored profanity (the f-word, etc.) further into the video. In addition to expanded allowances for profanity, YouTube will let content creators monetize videos about "recreational drugs and drug-related content," "documentary or news content that may include violent interactions with law enforcement," and "controversial issues where non-graphic, objective discussions of controversial issues are in the video." Creators will also be able to monetize more videos that feature adult themes "delivered through the context of humor," such as romance and dating jokes. The site also provided more specific examples for content that still cannot be monetized, including Adult content, harmful or dangerous acts, and firearms-related content. "Based on creator and advertiser input, we've updated our guidelines to allow more content to become eligible for full monetization (green icon) while continuing to maintain advertiser industry standards," YouTube said in a policy update on Tuesday. These changes come as the United States continues to grapple with sensitive issues like police brutality and drug legalization, both of which may have pushed aspects of this policy change.
