alright twitter I have a question
-
-
@sarahjeong My theory is that some households are just utterly terrified by silence. -
@jackbanh yes, but the tv ran even when no one was in the room, they turned down the volume for me but wouldn't switch it off
-
@sarahjeong That is so *weird*. Maybe they were a Neilsen family and this was all part of some scheme where they had to log enough hours. -
I seriously got the vibe that it was an obligation to have the tv on, not that people liked it

like this is what I want to know. is there some kind of thing where someone would need to log tv hours or pull steady power from the grid..?
-
@sarahjeong I'm imagining that it was an elaborate system of misdirection to cover up a weed grow op -
@vogon see, this is something that occurred to me but it doesn't make any sense as a cover plan

@sarahjeong If the TV is on, then you have a great reason not to talk even if nobody is watching. At least, that's what it was in my family. -
@asimone except it was two 10 year olds in a bedroom on a house visit, not exactly full of awkward silences -
@sarahjeong In some sense the TV adds and therefor legitmizes that noise. At least, that's always how I read my situation. -
@asimone interesting

@sarahjeong I once spent the night with a dude who left the TV on in the hotel room even when no one was there. -

@sarahjeong I dunno. When I was an exchange student my host family had the radio running all the time low level -
@sammikes daytime programming versus radio tho -

@Lee_Ars yeah the part that stumps me is that they turned the volume down for me but couldn't switch the screen
