    "Can deaf people think?" Me: Can the people who asked that question think?
  • @miraij3461
    “Can deaf people think?” Deaf: hm, let me think about that
  • I can't stop replaying 3:50. The way the eeeeeeeeeeee on the screen stretches, his facial expression, the way he stretches his hands to represent it going on annoyingly, and the audio accompaniment demonstrating the sound. It's perfect. It's like understanding how annoying a sound is in four languages.
  • @bunkerputt
    As a non-deaf with slight spectrum disorder who doesn't understand nuance in communication, I really appreciate how extreme the facial gestures of deaf people can be. It helps me to read their emotions.
  • I love how Lia responded to the 1st question with "Deaf people can do EVERYTHING. Except hear. I AM NOT JUST MY EAR." You go girl!
  • @meg2249
    I’m hard of hearing and was never taught how to sign. I actually realized a few years ago that my inner voice is just like reading subtitles. I think in written English as strange as that seems, lol.
  • I love how deaf people are so much more expressive in their looks when they are talking. I could just watch Lia talk for hours and not get bored, in a not creepy way, of course.
  • @brokkelynxx580
    "I speak to myself in my own language But then I'm like... What do I mean????" 😂😂😂
  • @infamousink
    Love how animated the girl is. It’s like I can literally hear her speak through her hands.
  • @chaz2187
    As a deaf person myself, despite being deaf since birth I still don’t always appreciate how varied the hearing situation is for different deaf people. But it’s so diverse with many who may say they find things to be different. Also, every country seems to have their own sign language. USL (US) and BSL (British) are very different.

    "Can Deaf People Hear?" (Bruh in Sign Language)
  • Omg this was sooooooooo refreshing not hearing a bunch of words that come out of people mouths... Learning sign language to beat the language barrier. People use words so loosely now.. I felt every passionate moment they were speaking. Even physical felt a vibration. Ugh just loved this video 💖
  • @jeangigii
    The girl's facial expressions gimme life. She seems funny and sarcastic as hell
  • @Emily-vp9xe
    It’s like I can “hear” them talking even though they’re signing.
  • @Cr1m1nalxInt3nt
    Thank you Mixxie and Lia for doing this video! You both have such kind spirits.
  • @silennceaxc8408
    it's funny how some hearing people think that deaf people can't talk. when i was in junior high, i have a deaf classmate who's so loud. he's funny and is very energetic. sometimes he laughs in the middle of a class discussion, lmao. and we would just laugh it off. but he's not often staying in our classroom cause he hangs out with the other deaf students. he's very talkative and funny that we would often choose to chat with him than actually listening to the teachers lol. he's just such a funny person. we would often joke around and he would say f*ck off or f*ck you as "ma yo!" and we would just laugh with him. i hope everyone learns that deaf people are the same as everyone. they chat during class discussions. they laugh, very loudly that is. cause they couldn't hear themselves and wouldn't know if they're being too loud. they joke around too. they're very loving and caring. unlike some hearing people
  • @Dekross
    Their facial expressions are stronger than non deaf people.
