Do you hear ‘Laurel’ or ‘Yanny’? Let your office decide – then watch it tear itself apart

Okay, so you remember the internet thing where people argued over whether the dress was blue and blackย or something ย and something?

Well, it’s happened again, only this time it’s ears rather then eyes that are causing the problem, with a short audio clip that asks listeners whether they are hearing the word ‘Yanny’ or ‘Laurel’.

Have a listen for yourself. Then gather your colleagues. Then have a huge argument.

Of course, the answer is clearly ‘Yanny’. Although sometimes we swear we can hear a third option in the form of ‘Yammy’.

Either way, it has broken our minds.

There’s a scientific explanation of course, once you’ve stopped fighting.
