The initial individual globally to have an antenna implanted in his head is Neil Harbisson.
D
It looks so natural on him too.
L
He likes the type somehow Edit: *looks like lol
O
Looks or likes?
A
Both.
N
He licks the tip somehow
T
He looks like an angler fish
S
He looks like an odd bedside table lamp.
P
I was gonna say, he looks like the kind of guy who would put an antenna in his head
R
But then that begs the question why just one antenna? Two would look much more natural.
R
A symmetrical face is more attractive, so Bro definitely needs 2 antennae.
P
That’s why he’s put it front and centre. Symmetry maintained.
O
It’s so funny opening the comments and seeing your exact thought has already been written there word for word.
P
We have never had an original thought. I also think he looks like the type to have an antenna implanted in his head, on account of him having a literal antenna sticking out of his head
H
true, but even ignoring the antenna, he looks like the type to do it.
P
I thought it right away. *Yeah, looks like a guy that would put an antenna in his head…*
L
If you had an antenna in your head, this would be a routine occurrence!
J
Kinda feels eerie, but probably not as eerie as having a freaking antenna in your head
H
I immediately wanted to say that he looks like someone who would get an antenna implanted in his head, but then I thought, “Well, but what would that person even look like?” So I dropped the thought. Thank yiu for validating it back into existence.
H
He would look like Neil Harbisson.
J
I think because for most redditors he’s giving snoo vibes
P
It holds the bowl up for his haircut
S
Couldn’t use that honker instead?
A
That’s for holding the tin foil if the station doesn’t come in well
E
It’s the Reddit mascot
A
I’m shocked I had to scroll this far. He literally looks like Snoo, you’re right.
W
Omg TIL their name is Snoo!!
M
Bro! You’ve been here 12 years!
F
10 years on the site, first time I know about that too.
M
It’s John reddit
G
He’s also coincidentally the exact sort of person I imagine every other user on Reddit to be
G
OMG
N
…… that’s it? No further explanation ? Ya killin me lol
F
“His antenna sends audible vibrations through his skull to report information to him. This includes measurements of electromagnetic radiation, phone calls, and music, as well as videos or images which are translated into audible vibrations.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Harbisson
T
Why the fuck would you want that? Sounds incredibly disruptive
C
It also sounds like incredible bullshit.
A
If I remember correctly it was called out for bs a long time ago.
F
I mean if it was actually useful others would be doing it – with a smaller boom.
T
“THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN EARTH SHATTERING KA BOOM!”
B
I remember seeing an old TED talk with him hosting, pretty sure. There he said he could only see in black and white, so the antenna could be used to recognize a particular color, and send it to him as a specific pitched beep – so he could recognize what color something is. I guess it could be BS, but it also seems like a somewhat useful tool depending on the circumstance, and not outlandish as a piece of tech.
T
Let me guess, TEDx?
D
TEDx destroyed the brand respect of the original so goddamn quickly for me it’s amazing.
W
I’ve only seen a couple. What’s the difference?
M
Barrier to entry. Pretty much anyone could give a TEDx so it diluted the quality (there were the occasional gems, but like other commenters have pointed out, it harmed their reputation)
G
The difference between Forbes Magazine and the Forbes Website. Have a pulse and you could write for the Forbes Website.
C
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) talks have a modicum of vetting by a curation team. Usually means the person won some award or has a fancy title, but may not have anything meaningful to say. TEDx talks are the equivalent of stopping to listen to a schizophrenic person rant on a soapbox. Both are usually a waste of time.
D
It was just antenna guy ranting at a group of homeless people and antenna guy’s roommate recorded it on his iPhone.
B
Probably, seems like a localized talk but I’m not sure
N
That would entail a camera or colorimeter tho, not an antenna.. I dunno, still sounds like some bs
P
Lmao…
M
The Wiki article is awful and makes radical claims with citations that lead nowhere.
