So November is epilepsy awareness month.

People literally shaking with excitement about this.

I bet they're celebrating it by having raves w/ strobes && other pretty lights.

I've recently noticed two weird trends that reminded me of the problem, though:

- police cars have these rapidly flashing blue lights.

- bicycle lights tend to be rapidly flashing instead of producing a steady light, now.

@D-4got10-01 flashing lights make you more visible is the theory.

Also, supposedly the frequency that gives seizures is 6 Hz. Something to do with brain not liking that frequency. Then I also heard that chickens skulls vibrate at 7 Hz. So a strong 7 Hz signal can supposedly kill chickens.

We need a month for fecal incontemance

@YourMom now I have a picture of exploding chicken heads in my head, thanks!

@TeachMeCode right, b2plane will appreciate

@YourMom > 'flashing lights make you more visible is the theory'

I could accept that, but the rapidness of the flashing seems seizure-inducing. Although, there are more factors that come into play than just rapidness. Color, saturation, etc.

...close enough: https://youtu.be/dvYvQeNeq3A?t=28 .

@D-4got10-01 a classic! 😄

Let‘s just hope that no supervillain finds out the resonant frequency of human skulls…

No nut November,
No shave November,
And now no epilepsy November?

I‘m too old for this shit!

@Lensflare > 'No nut November,

No shave November,'.

Umm... these are real?

@D-4got10-01 unfortunately yes.
