☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

2.5× for all of yt unless its music or a TV show/ movie.
Damn. That sounds like you are the hypercaffeinated one!
I thought everyone did 😭😭
Something tells me that's not great for you. Real life conversations would seem too slow and hard to focus on.
I use the podcatcher Overcast. It has a feature called Smart Speed which dynamically shortens silence. On top of that I increase the speed. So whenever I don’t have Smart Speed on, people’s natural voice sound artificially slow to me.
Hey, high five for Overcast mention! Been my favorite podcast app for ages.
Occasionally I feel like my mind has raced past the conversation, finish your sentence already ffs.
But mostly I adjust and its not an issue.
Podcasts, too! The speaker just sounds super enthusiastic, which makes the whole thing that much more interesting. Every now and again I try at 1x, and they sound so bored, can't hardly finish a sentence.
Yeeep. I have some set at 2.2 or even slower depending on the content or my concentration level. But mostly 2.5 or 2.7.
Like the Aunty Donna podcast at 2.5× is impossible. Similarly the empire podcast is where I'm learning and play slower too.
