The one and only time I played Wordle was a version in French. My French isn't great, but I somehow managed to get the answer on the second row. This story doesn't go anywhere, I'm just showing off.

I'll make an exception for Phrasle, though. I actually didn't know if you'd update it, or if it was just going to be a permanent rickroll. That was nice.

Could be worse, he might decide to Rickroll the neighborhood.

Oh how I wanna become Dave Grohl's 'new best friend'! [swoon]

*quality rickrolling!

In the US, I believe that component in CRTs is called a "horizontal oscillator" instead of a "flyback transformer" (but could be that they are distinct yet related things). I've always been easily able to hear those, but am not usually bothered by them anymore since CRTs are fairly rare at this point. But this video proves that my 36 year old ears can still pick it up.

I feel like my hearing is bad -- I always want TVs louder than other people so I can make out what is being said, and in normal conversation it always seems like people are mumbling if there is any background noise at all. And I'm one of those annoying loud-talking Americans, especially if I'm talking on the phone (fortunately I don't get/answer many phone calls when I'm in public). But my hearing range pitch-wise seems to be exceptionally high, and not diminishing much with age (yet).

There's a fun easter egg for people like me at the end of that video. He put pulses of that CRT horizontal oscillator pitch where you can see the "Things You Might Know" text on the red background. I recognized it as Morse code, but couldn't decipher it even though I have an Amateur Radio license (I don't do code). In the comments at YT, people are claiming that the code translates to "never gonna give you up" -- so I guess he's Rickrolling people who both A) still have young enough ears to hear that 15kHz range *and* B) are old school enough to know / recognize Morse code. That's a pretty small target audience for an easter egg!

Forget Michelle, she plagiarised Rick goddamn Astley!

He should have came out with an April 1st video where he goes through this huge, lengthy process, cracks open the clay tablet at the finish and shows an iPad.

*cue rickroll*

Holy Shit... I was expecting a Rickroll...

Especially with all the INDEPENDANCE Day 2 mispellings.

Holy Shit... I was expecting a Rickroll...

Edit... ok, this was supposed to be over on Independence Day 2...

OMFG IM A NOOB AGAIN!!!!

*terrible, *audio - would have preferred a rickroll.

So does this count as a rickroll?

Ohhh you got me! Is that a mini rickroll?

I was afraid that Harlem Shake had mutated into the new Rickroll.

That was close...

Thanks. Tho the rickroll redirect with the ban was a nice touch lol!

Been autobanned and tasted the RickRoll before, have you?
