Hey Destin, I work in the automotive manufacturing industry in central Alabama and I think the different processes and robotics and stamping presses would be something your audience would find interesting!

[@ArmaGhedoNNN]

Hi there! I can do almost the same thing, well, I'm not as fluent as thay guy, but still pretty good I think. I am 15, and since 5 or 6, I started to train my brain talking backwards. This "training" took like 2 years I think. I can remember that I was with my family in car and I was taking some words from my memory, and pronounce it backwards. I did it to avoid boring moments, and now it's pretty nice to have this skill. I am from Romania, and I think, I have like 300 words that I still remember, and I can pronounce it immediatly backwards. That's it! Thanks for your attention!

I can totally relate to this because when i was in my teenage me and my 2 other brothers were talking backwards in our native language (Pashto). It was really helpful specially in situations when we couldn't speak something in front of other people. It was like another language that no one could understand. But my Mom was always angry at us for speaking like that. Then we completely stopped speaking that way. I can still speak but that fluency has been lost and it has been 6 years since we stopped it

It was the first snow of the year and I hought "heck might as well make hte first run left foot forward!" IT went better than expected and I had control and made a successful run! THE SECOND RUN I started left foot forward and switch half way down the mountain, and I could FEEL the gears in my head turning and changing and when i tried to switch back, i fell almost immediately and wasn't able to make any further run left foot forward the rest of the year!!!

Totally, I think volume helps. At 5:45 Leprechaun is said backwards by Destin and is louder/clearer than Kurt (though Destin is just repeating the funny sound he just heard). Kurt's outro also is pretty clear with him loudly signing (though he probably had time to practice before recording that bit).

One time, with my moms older computer, we found the microphone and “player” and noticed that it had reverse. We’d speak into it and record, then listen backwards and memorize the backwards sound. Then we’d speak the memorized backwards sound into the recorder and then play THAT in reverse. Sometimes we got it down so well that it almost sounded normal and other times it was absolutely hilarious as to how funny it sounded. Good times!!!

[@liza9025]

My mom's old phone had a similar app! I used to do the same lol!!

[@rkzooplays]

[@squishyprincess1975]

I did that on my dc with my brother. We learned our names backwards and called those names our “evil sides”

[@johnrehwinkel7241]

The 45RPM record of "They're Coming To Take Me Away" had the song backwards on the B side, so we learned to sing it that way. We were also amused when playing a reading of "The Little Red Hen" backwards, and kept coming across the sound "baby shnot". We eventually figured out it was "and she did" (a phrase that occurs often in the story) backwards. We'd amuse ourselves by playing it forward "and she did", asking "What'd she do?" "Baby shnot!" Hey, we were teenagers and fun is where you find it.

[@modularcarpet]

Kids don't know what they're missing these days! They have too much entertainment. They won't know the joy of having to make do with whatever entertainment they can find.

[@FlyMIfYouGotM]

This is so cool! I have long been fascinated by the plasticity of the brain, especially with kids. Years ago I had a kid in my Sunday School class who, at 5 years old, was drawing pictures of people that were better than most of the best high school art students could draw. This kid quit drawing stick figures by the time he was 2 or 3. Muscle structure, shading and everything else was in his pictures. The way he drew was even more fascinating. He continually rotated the page as he drew! Basically he was rotating an image in his head in 3 dimensions like a CAD machine. Very few adults can mentally rotate images to this level much less draw this way. A few years ago I began wondering if you could teach a child some level of mental image rotation if you started early enough. Every month we had memory verses for our 1st through 5th grade Sunday School kids to memorize. At the end of every month the same 3 or 4 out of 20 kids would have the verse memorized. As an experiment, I began turning the page upside down and had the kids read upside down. For several of the kids that soon got too easy so I had them hold it up to the light and read it through the back side of the page. It didn't take too long before even that got too easy for a few so for them it's, turn the page upside down and read it through the back side of the page. An interesting thing happened. At the end of the month, every one of the 20 kids had it memorized! The next month we went back to the normal way of reading and at the end of that month the same 3 or 4 kids had it memorized. When we went back to upside down reading, I introduced a new twist by printing everything out using a, "Sans Forgetica" font. That font leaves out lots of pieces of letters and forces the brain to work harder to fill in the missing pieces. Another interesting, unexpected thing happened. Our little 1st graders who were struggling to read normally, got very good at reading in a very short time. For the kids, this was a challenge they loved doing but it was also interesting how virtually none of their parents would even try.

[@ericsmodelgarage]

Awesome video!! I do this all the time on my voice changer app. Not a s quick as this guy but still usually comes out right. Love it!!

[@towerscm33]

One missed phenomenon in the video is that in addition to phonetically speaking backwards, the co-ability to recall the order of words in reverse is also impressive. Just doing that in a 5-6 word sentence is quite challenging. "The dog is in the house"...".house the in is dog the". Impressive? I say so. nitseD sknahT.

[@DeadLuckArchives]

Oh man what a brain game.

[@Logitekz]

What amazes me the most is he's doing reverse sentence AND a reverse word structures in his head, on the fly, in seconds. That is a whole new level of impressive.

Your comment about watching his "gears" slow down to a crawl had me bustin' up 😂😂 so true (no slight to your wonderful, well-humored guest; it's a "human trying to do two things at once" thing, not a "him" thing).

I have liked the content of every video I've watched on this channel. This one just plain freaks me out.

I am imagining Destin as he is reviewing footage, hearing Kurt's comment about all the animals in the same tone of voice a kidnapping victim might call for help.

[@thomasmaughan4798]

I had completely forgotten about it but when I was a teenager I learned to do that very thing, talk backwards, and I had rigged a tape recorder to play backward. That's how I learned what it sounded like backward. Then speaking backward using the tape recorder to reverse it was usually recognizable speech, although never as good as this guy does it. I also practiced reverse handwriting; it looks normal if you hold it to a mirror or hold it to a light and see through the back of the sheet of paper. It's actually fairly easy; take two pencils or pens. your body, well mine anyway, has bilateral symmetry so my left hand accepts the same commands as my right hand, but is left-to-right transposed. When I sent a command to move the pencil to the right, my body doesn't interpret it as "right" but "away from center", and my left hand also interprets it as "away from center", my right hand moves right and my left hand moves left. Up and down seems to be the same, it is not mirrored. Now you cannot look at your left hand; you look at your right and let the left hand just be automatic for the most part. With a bit of discipline it is pretty easy. The next step is to not actually write with the right hand, but only the left. I turned in a high school assignment written that way. My teachers were somewhat accustomed to getting very odd homework.

[@DSzaks]

The thing I found interesting is that one syllable words like "Aim" have too syllables when pronounced backwards "Mee-uh". I would expect it to be pronounced May, but in the rollback footage not only is it show to pronounced correctly that way but you can actually hear the 2 syllables from the forward word when its played backwards.
