What are the most unconventional sources of white noise you use? (lemmy.ml)

I have started listening to random American city council meetings lately for white noise. Since they're all bureaucratic-flavored boredom anyway.

Please, listen to the City Commission of Fort Scott, Kansas. It is so very dull.

Interesting. It looks quite dull from the thumbnails indeed. At the moment my current source of city council white noise is Spokane, Washington - the stories that people tell during open forum are entertaining and I sometimes hate how an amazing story gets cut off by the 2-minute limit.

No limit on how long someone can speak during public comments.

~~Well, Spokane enforces a 2 minute limit. What city do you recommend I listen to if I want to hear longer open forum stories?~~

EDIT: Oh wait, I replied from the inbox, nevermind. Fort Scott, Kansas is definitely the place.

People can ramble on about anything. Come on down! :)

[–] lemuria@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So... if I have the money to fly down to Fort Scott do I get to ramble on for 3 hours about how their city council has been such a great source of white noise, generating additional white noise for me in the process that I can use once I return to Manila?

Please do. Our one good barbecue closed, please bring some good food. Also a gallon of calamansi.
