March 9, 2023: 1.25x
I have a watch that connects to my phone, and every so often it causes a podcast I'm listening to to accidently bump up in speed. I know we've talked about this(/I brought it up) before, but I still don't get how people can casually listen to speech at anything more than a normal speed. I mean, I get why some people do it, but I just can't. I'm aurally sensitive in a way than anything more than 1x (or also less than, I suppose) is just too distracting for me to listen to.
