If you're pounding one out that won't really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn't want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I used to almost exclusively listen to any kind of audio through headphones. I had a microphone near my desk configured so that it would pass through the vibration of footsteps directly to my headphones. I was rarely startled, no matter what sordid activity I was undertaking.

I swear the footsteps trigger a Pavlov response in me at this point. I can even tell who it is by the footsteps

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pavlov

As in you instantly lose an erection, because you've been conditioned to associate footfalls with a ruined orgasm?

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 16 points 10 months ago

I can only get off if I hear approaching footsteps

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

I used to be able to do that, too! These days, I live with two people: an adult wife and a toddler. Their gaits are pretty easily distinguishable.

Trauma, neurodivergence, or both detected!

Wow was that hard to setup? Any special equipment needed?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Honestly, that was some 25-30 years ago. It was pretty simple to setup back then, but it might not be the same now, especially in Windows.

I forget the type of mic but there are mics specifically designed for picking up vibrations from surfaces (I googled it, they're called surface mics ffs, could probably use a cheap normal mic without a pop filter tho)

If those use USB or 3.5mm, or can be made to, then plug them in and on windows check the "listen to this device" checkbox and boom, you'll hear what's coming through that mic. Adjust the sensitivity to your needs, done

On other OSs you can do it too just as easily but I don't remember what my Linux distro calls it and if you've installed Linux you have enough info from my comment to figure it out methinks

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Same for me at work. But I use a mirror from Aliexpress.

Maybe he broke his arms.

Motherfucker!

That's one way to describe the guy, indeed.

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 11 points 10 months ago

Thanks, I hate it

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea where that came from but alright... Here's your well deserved upvote.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

They reworked the lyrics to Enter Sandman.

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

I know, the melody somehow started playing in my head from the first line. I still don't know why they did it but I'm not complaining.

[–] Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The rework is titled: ‘Enter sockman’.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

At least it was a sock and not a coconut.

[–] billygoat@catata.fish 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

My first thought was Last Resort.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

Holy crap that works too well. Have my plastic fork!

It's for boosting Wi-Fi reception, don't worry about it.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 58 points 10 months ago

If they can't figure it out, no one tell them.
