Ears almost freak me out more. We can instantly, with no thought, tell where a sound is coming from, to a high resolution. Even behind us! All based on how fast and loud the signal hits our ears at different times. The speed of sound is right there with a slightly slow bullet. We can differentiate the "ping time" between one side of our skull on the other. Fuck me that's wild!

Speaking of bullets, I can pick up the delay between firing something slow like a .45 or .22 and hitting a target a mere 40' away. How?!

Another freaky thing; you can hear the difference between hot and cold water being poured. True fact

Are you saying that you can hear when I pick massive boogies out of my nose?

Speak for yourself. My ability to tell the direction of a sound is terrible.

Everyone time you pick your nose there's three people remote viewing you.

The difference between vision and perception.
