If I woke up and couldn't talk, I would go back and sleep again.

That's what happens when I walk up to the McDonald's register to order my food.

[sebastianelytron]

I know a lot of people who need this. How can we infect them with it?

[stellanstolcman]

Wait, people still talk? i just text everyone nowadays...

[lawsonstudios]

I usually just call it “silent protagonist syndrome”.

[shonenhiroxd]

Speaking of talking, is it possible for mute people to talk again?

[AllysonYates]

Waking up and not being able to talk anymore is one of my worst nightmares. I didn't even know about these conditions. This is really interesting information.

1:30 oh my god, imagine your own native language seeming like a foreign language that you only understand a few words of.

Life Noggin: "What if you couldn't talk?"

I've had surgery on my vocal cords 5 times and each time I was told not to talk for 2 weeks to allow for healing. The first 3 times were over 15 years ago and were difficult since I didn't have a cell phone to use as a communication device. The last 2, both in the last 3 years were much easier with a cell phone. Because I've been able to talk my whole life it takes a bit of adjustment and it's not always easy to not speak for just 2 weeks let alone any longer.

Can a human brain control a robot ?
I meant to say if a brain can control a full Human size robot

This has actually happened to me once, for a couple of months. It was super annoying. I couldn't even manage to make short noises with my mouth to get people's attention. I had to knock and stuff like that to have them look at me so that I could then either use gestures or write things on a piece of paper. Eventually I bought a laptop to make the writing easier and even have text-to-speech.

My grandmother just got this condition for about two months now, After watching this video I feel like there’s a hope for her to cure from the condition, thank you Life Noggin.

[bhavyatomar]

I want blocko to be my pet, I could feed him or he could whisper me the answers in a test lool and make him do my homework and probably we could play some cool video games. (But might need to get a controller his size)

At least I could fall asleep in class and not have to worry about the teacher asking me a question to try to embarrass me.

[darylrazon]

Basically its the one group in class where all of its members do something.

I was diagnosed with moderate-severe Autism. I remember one day, I could not talk anymore, it was painful as if my connections were cut and my throat straining. The only thing I could do was scream from that pain. Luckily, it was only a few years, although I could not understand people very well despite being a born US citizen until 12.

People mostly just text not talk nowdays

[thelastcube.]

I'd no longer get into unnecessary troubles I guess
