deaf

This brief and wholesome Tumblr thread takes a moment to appreciate the different perspectives of human beings that are deaf or blind. It's quite endearing. Especially that hilarious moment that the professor realized the student could see, and might want the light on for a test. 

This teacher's viral story about teaching deaf kids how farts work is a hilariously wholesome little tale. Taking a moment and picturing the look of shock and the confusion thereafter on these kids faces as they learn about the wild world of farts is just golden. 

This quick and wholesome Tumblr post does a great job at highlighting the different world perspectives of people that are blind and deaf. As it turns out, deaf people have accents too. 

Every once in a while the wild Karen will mistake a stranger for an employee and direct their abuse at a fellow customer. while that doesn't sound like much of an improvement, the lack of professional courtesy frees up their target to say whatever they want to back. The extra level of dramatic irony makes stories like these all the sweeter.

Someone on AskReddit asked for deaf people to share their biggest surprises upon gaining the ability to hear. Apparently the farting noise always throws people back on their heels in surprise. 

To the uninitiated, the world is noisy as hell. There's all kinds of whirring and beeping and chirping. Often, deaf people are surprised to find that things make a sound. Then there are some things that deaf people don't expect to make a sound, like this kid who was shocked to learn that farts make a sound. When you think about it, it seems like the sun should make a sound, shouldn't it?

This teacher is doing the lord's work. It seems strange to have to have this type of thing explained to you, but it makes perfect sense considering the circumstances.

You take a lot of things for granted when you know what everything sounds like. It especially helps to know when to be quiet. Sure would suck to find out too late that farts make a sound.
