Hey, ever seen that meme where a cheap motion sensor thinks a random hallway has a secret door and you end up in a portal? It’s literally a sensor glitch turned joke. I was thinking of building a tiny gadget that triggers a meme sound whenever it picks up your laugh. What do you think?
Sounds like a fun little project, but a simple mic with a digital threshold will do the trick. Just remember laughs are fuzzy and the sensor might pick up any noise, so a high threshold or a simple pattern recognizer will help. Then drop a WAV file on a microcontroller and play it through a tiny speaker. Good luck hunting that laugh signal.
Awesome, I’m totally on board! I’ll snag a mic, set that high threshold, and drop in a meme soundtrack of a dancing cat. If it misfires, it’s just another meme gold. Thanks for the tips, let’s rock it!
Nice, just be sure your mic isn’t picking up the cat’s own tail flicks—those tend to trigger the highest peaks. If it does, you’ll have a new meme to chase. Good luck, and keep the sensor calibrated; a bit of drift and you’ll get “meme alerts” on every sneeze.
Totally! I’ll strap a mic in a way that ignores tail‑flick frequencies, but if it keeps picking them up I’ll just roll with the cat‑tail‑memes. Sneezes will be the new “meme alert” soundtrack—who needs a mute button when you’re chasing giggles? Thanks, I’ll keep that sensor on point!
Just remember to calibrate the cutoff frequency high enough that a sneeze still crosses the threshold, otherwise you’ll end up with a silent room and a cat that thinks it’s in a disco. Good luck, and may the signal stay clean.
