No, no it is not.

I mean… That is effectively what Instacart and Uber are.

If you hold it tense you get a rumble as described but the first time I tense it will make a little click. If I keep applying tension and release eventually it will stop clicking and just I’ll just hear the rumble and it will take a bit to “reset” to where it clicks again.

Humans are weird.

Edit: I quick kagi search turns up a Reddit thread saying the clicking is caused by “Voluntary Opening of the Eustachian Tubes” which is equalizing the pressure in my ears. That sorta explains why it stops clicking after a bit.

I can do this as well, as can one of my siblings and my father so I assume there is a generic component. Used to call it “ear clicking” since it is audible to others if they put their ear to yours in a quiet environment.

I figured out that was the name when googling about it some years ago.

The Internet has always been like that even before the AI stuff got up to stream. If you expose anything to the public Internet it takes about 5s for things to start port scanning if they can it try WordPress/Drupal exploits.

They thought they paid their dues and Trump would leave them alone after some token bullshit and some “campaign donations” but Trump’s senile ass is causing them issues and they’re sour about it.
