Who else was waiting for the plot twist? I thought she dumps him because his voice sounds like a drowning pig in panic or so… :'D
After my girlfriend gained the ability to smell, she dumped me. She hates roses now though
How do you suddenly gain that ability? Are there implants for smell as well? Or did they extract some lego bricks that she stuffed up her nose as a kid?
might’ve recovered from long COVID
it’s a rare wholesome greentext
Maybe it was a bit much to ask that during such an emotional moment? I mean, let the woman decide when she has her wits together…
don’t worry, greentexts are fiction
Hears her Mom for the first time… which means she’s never heard words before… how the fuck does she know what “I love you, please marry me” is supposed to mean? It’s just a jumble of new, incomprehensible sounds…
Being able to read and write doesn’t mean you can understand spoken language, or speak.
Deaf people aren’t necessarily mute, and can often “hear” their own voice.
Deaf people know how to read lips to understand people who don’t know sign language. Also “hears for the first time” might be an embelishment in the story - lots of people are partially deaf and can hear something, just not enough to understand the words and they revert to lip reading.
I like to think based on how this story is worded she always had implants but never knew to turn them up
losing the user manual is a bitch
what if we all have implants but never knew how to turn them down?
a screwdriver does the trick, its a one time adjustment though
If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can’t see your lips they won’t understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?
In the beggining he said after a while she noticed or something like that so it means she had partial hearing loss.
Yeah. Unless she is only partially deaf or had hearing before and lost it, she won’t understand him.
or he may have signed while saying it.
I think it would be instinct by that point.
Good point.
Aww 🥰
To much word!
Guy love deaf girl. Girl hearing fixed. Guy say he love her.

I never expect when greentexts hit right in the feels.
Never knowing what to expect is the fun part of reading greentexts.
She scribbled her number on the note? What number was that?
What number was that?
That number was Albert Einstein’s number. Then everyone in the library clapped.
Phone number
Oh okay
Kind of occured to me Gen Z prolly doesn’t use phone numbers
I just met you, and this is crazy. But here’s my socials, tweet me maybe???
Nah, we do text. Kinda country dependent actually. In the US, asking for insta or snap instead of phone number is fairly common. But text is also common.
In many countries (mainly south america, south asia, and SEA), whatsapp is most common, and that uses phone number as well.
East Asian countries each have their own thing that not many ppl elsewhere use.
Discord is common among more nerdy ppl.
next time I meet an attractive woman I’ll ask for her Lemmy handle. Let’s see how that goes.
Nah never, don’t want them to check my entire account history
Yeah, just ask her for her instance and dump her if it’s .ml.
Actually Discord is getting very normie. Pretty much everybody at my uni uses it
Back to email then, the circle of life
