Yanny or Laurel?

I'm going to smoke a couple bowls and see how it sounds. For science. Also, what's this about a dress?
Literally hearing something different almost every time I play it now. Also played it for my parents and didn't tell them what word they should be listening for. Mom immediately heard Laurel and my dad said "I hear yarry" so somehow he's hearing a combination of the two
Yanny sounds like a high-pitched whisper when Laurel is being said, and Laurel sounds like a demon from the grave when Yanny is being said. Things you realize when high.
My brain must be programmed to ignore high-pitched voices because I heard the high-pitched Yanny and then transitioned to the low-pitched one Laurel.
This is informative. I must inform women that they should speak to me in a low voice.

What color is this dress:

I first heard yanny, I assume because I had a headphone in one ear, etc so did not get full 'frequency'...since the apparently this was recorded on a phone from computer speakers from and then compressed through instragram and then reddit and twitter - or as they say on the internet, recorded with a potato.

I couldn't hear past 6000Hz. I can only hear laurel.
My wife had me get my hearing checked at a doc appointment a few years back. I heard one sound. When the doc came back in and asked the nurse how I did, she said,"Yeah, he's deaf." I said, "Hey, I heard that!"

Our family went out to dinner last night. In the car, we played it. I heard Laurel and they all heard something that sounds like Yarie but they said it sounded more like Yanny. We tried it at the restaurant and everybody heard Laurel.
