Man, the leopards are never gonna starve again
there are pumas and jaguars in south america, maybe those can fill in.
Stop
captioning
every
word
individually.
It
is
absolutely
useless
and
distracting.
As someone with a hearing disability, it really irks me every time I see this comment. This style of captioning helps me understand the pacing of the dialog, something that normal subtitles cannot do, forcing me to attempt to read lips and the captions at the same time. I much prefer to just have my subtitles pop up one word at a time like this.
I’m afraid that if people keep complaining about them, they will eventually go away. Please stop with your crusade against something that legitimately helps people with disabilities. It’s incredibly selfish.
I’m not going to argue with you. If this genuinely helps you, cool. I will say I’m not on a “crusade”. I initially watched the clip without audio and simply couldn’t keep up, where I would have easily done so with more traditional subtitles.
Out of curiosity, would you want to watch a longer form video like this? It doesn’t really seem to leave much opportunity to look at anything other than the flashing words.
I don’t have any hearing impairments but just prefer to have my devices muted at all times. I find this style of subtitles far easier to read and pace naturally. Rather than being unable to keep up I could read it much faster, even. My limit based on that speed reader site linked in another comment seems to be somewhere between 600 and 700 words per minute.
prefer to have my devices muted at all times
this really intrigues me. so you also do this with movies/TV shows?
is it a sensory thing?
(practicing Spanish… don’t mind me. por cierto, estoy abierta a la crítica.)
Este me intriga mucha. ¿lo haces con las películas y programas también?
¿es una cosa sensorial?
Last question first, yes, kind of. I have some degree of misophonia and hate most extraneous noise. This also extends externally perhaps just as a matter of empathy and makes me uncomfortable when making noise. My partner even complains that I move too quietly and startle her quite often.
To be more specific I prefer my portable devices to be always muted, which is where I consume most short-form content.
For longer content, like movies and shows, I’ll generally not be consuming that portably. Though I still strongly prefer to wear headphones so that I’m the only person who hears it.
I don’t mean you specifically, just people like you in general. Every single time I see a post with these kind of captions in them, someone always has to show up and make a comment just like yours. It’s frustrating.
And to answer your question: yes I would. I wish all subtitles were like this.
I get it.

For anyone else whom speed reading suddenly came to mind, to enhance your subtitle reading skills :uIt’s relevant because the key to speed reading is not recognizing the shape of each word at a time faster, but reading words in larger and larger groups at a time faster. You know that voice inside your head reading the words aloud? Soon, you just stop hearing it. Then you realize speed reading was a skill of speed comprehension the whole time.
I’m in the “one. Word. At. A. Time. In. Rapidfire. Even. If. Someone’s. Speaking. Them. At. One. Point. Seventy. Five. Ex. Speed. Sucks. Ass.” camp because, same, it distracts me from the rest of the screen, sometimes from the content. I can totally listen to a longform video at that speech pace, but if I had to watch. Subtitles. One. Word. At. A. Time, I’d claw my eyes out.
As someone with a hearing disability and dyslexia… These captions are a fucking nightmare and need to go away. Maybe add a bouncing ball to the standard captions but this method is not the way imo.
Especially with this bounce effect.
Seriously. By the time I could actually focus on the word, it was on the screen for 2 more frames before disappearing.
It’s a built in CapCut captioning effect widely used by video editors on TikTok.
Speed reader applications have demonstrably proven that people can process word sequences MUCH quicker when you show sentences to them this way.
You can be annoyed by the style and how obtuse it looks in scale relation to the actual video content, but utility-wise, it’s objectively the “easiest to digest” way to display subtitles / captions.
TIL thank you
This is the better way to caption things, actually. It improves both your reading speed and comprehension, especially when it’s something like this where the person is talking quickly. Something about how your brain recognizes words.
Actually your brain is able to read way faster when shown one word at a time.
Wait, is she saying a bunch of illegal immigrants voted for Trump?
she is an american citizen who can vote. is she getting deported? are they going to strip her from citizenship? or how? wtf I dont understand
You could be a citizen and know people or even have family who are not, thus making you affected regardless.
Is she an American citizen who can vote?
Or did somebody just hang about outside the conference centre offering $50 to any foreign looking people to get up on stage and spout a load of bullshit?
It’s also possible she’s talking about family members who are documented immigrants but not citizens.
They’re going door to door and just arresting anyone who doesn’t have papers right away. Do you carry proof of your citizenship everywhere you go?
You shouldn’t have to, I totally agree there. “Papers please” sounds very facist, in the real non-exaggerated sense.
Coincidentally, I do carry my US passport card with me everywhere. It’s only good for overland travel to Mexico and Canada (you still need the full passport for international flights) but it’s a “Real ID” and proves my citizenship.
Oye. Señora. Tuviste advertencias.
Seriously there were a lot of Latinos that voted even for this election because of a misguided sense of loyalty to the conservatives and their alignment with Christianity and toxic positivity. Brainwashed, like other folks, except they’re the ones who are going to pay for it.
I hope they finally get it after making it through the persecution we’re going to receive at the hands of emboldened and empowered racism.
Does “getting it” even matter when they’re on the other side of the border or in a Texas internment camp for an indefinite period with no further voting opportunities?
Might not at that point, we’ll see 😮💨
Oye. Señora. Tuviste advertencias.
Pero Trump va a personalmente salvar todo los bebitos! Y dar todos Biblias gratis!
Es una boluda de mierda.
Wait wait, did Trump just grope her? Did some one else see it too or I’m being paranoid?
No, he was just doing his weird seal clap.
Stop.
I hate Trump too but this ‘everyone’s sexually assaulting everyone whenever they make the slightest human contact’ shit needs to stop.
I don’t mind human contact, but I know Trump has groped women before and the gesture seemed souspicios to me. That’s why I asked for another opinion
Yeah man he literally raped her on stage during a political rally. Happy?
What’s the over/under on this guy being Cuban?
Another reminder that the only demographic of which the majority voted Trump are white people
Nah its still worth talking about, because it was the swing voters that won the election for Trump.
Comparing 2020 to 2024:
- White voters swung 1% increasing their vote to 56%
- Black voters doubled their vote (wtf) from 8% to 16%.
- Latino voters also increased their vote 8% (wtf) from 35% to 43%
- Even ‘all other races’ increased their vote from 39% to 41%.
So ‘wtf were these people thinking, voting for the leopard that says their particular faces are the most delicious?’ is a completely fair question to raise.
I wish we could see actual number of votes cast by each at m demographic… These stats could also be explained by the lower turnout, not necessarily more people voting for Trump in each demographic.
I.e.
2020: 8 Trump, 12 Biden=60% for Biden… 2024: 8 Trump, 4 Kamala= 33% Kamala Trump still got the same number of votes but it looks like he “doubled” his supportdeleted by creator
I’ve seen people post compelling evidence that there’s been widespread unexplained vote tally inconsistencies that correlate with “Russian tail” patterns, like that Arizona group that is attempting to get their state vote investigated - but it seems like the electoral integrity investigators are literally being fired via Trump’s/DOGE’s purity culls, so that’s stalled. At the same time, Democrats and public figures that have the power to raise hell about it are biting their tongue because they don’t want to claim the election may have been tampered with lacking solid evidence; worried they’ll be undermining confidence in future elections.
It’s a goddamn mess.

You were a useful sucker and now you are fucked just like we all are.
Well, they’ll deport her before me, but yes we’re all fucked.
I gotta figure out how I can get them to deport me. I could use a change of scenery.
Maybe your cell in Guantanamo or El Salvador will have a window. Bahaha just kidding they won’t.
I think we’re getting, or soon will be, to the point where deportation changes meaning to indefinite incarceration.
Too many people are way too trusting…
I suspect people are so desperate that they are willing to believe someone even when they know the risk is very high
Not going to touch the documented people?
He touched you and pretended to ride you from behind while you were on stage ffs
During the campaign they talked a lot about cutting “legal” immigration too. You just didn’t want to hear it.
they talked a lot about cutting “legal” immigration too. You just didn’t want to hear it.
No no, she wants that too. Many that are here don’t want more, they’re competing for the same resources.
It’s the FU I got mine… Until it’s taken away from them.
If only there was an abundance of evidence that Don fucks over people when they’re no longer useful to him. This poor woman. Where did I put my tiny violin?
If only a certain everyone had told them they were hated by MAGAts and were voting against their own interests.
Ay*
Eh
Ay ay, sir!
