My coworker at the kennel told me she watches shows at 1.5x speed and now I can't stop thinking about how much I've been missing
So I was cleaning up after a doodle last Tuesday and my coworker Dana just casually says she gets through a whole season of stuff in like two nights because she watches everything at 1.5x speed with the subtitles on. At first I thought she was joking but she pulled up her tablet and showed me, she finished that entire 8 episode season of The Bear in one evening while folding towels. I tried it that night with a show I'd already seen and honestly it felt like I was reading a book in fast forward, I caught stuff I totally missed but it also felt kinda off, like I was rushing through a meal instead of tasting it. Now I'm torn because she's watched like 30 shows this year and I've done maybe 6, and she remembers all the plot stuff better than me somehow. But my thing is, if you're watching at 1.5x are you actually watching it or just getting through it? I keep going back and forth. Does anyone here mess with the speed settings or am I the only one still doing it regular speed like a chump?
