I've been near the center of a very echo-y solid walled spherical dome. Basically the real version of this cartoon but more like 5-7 persons tall. This one was used for the projection surface of a flight training device. The acoustics near the center are just WEIRD. Your voice comes back to you as if you were speaking directly into your own ear but somebody just a few feet away sound as if they're halfway across the room. It's ... unsettling but a neat experience. [[Special:Contributions/130.76.187.35|130.76.187.35]] 15:02, 17 July 2025 (UTC) | I've been near the center of a very echo-y solid walled spherical dome.

Sorry no " somehow also causing the events themselves to happen repeatedly" is wrong; the point is that people post videos of their cats doing "things" repeatedly; that's just what happens, not an implied effect of the echo chamber itself. 31.54.45.20 08:39, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- Weird things happen in xkcd-land. 82.13.184.33 09:14, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
What has The dress got to do with an eco chamber? Seems like a poor example. 192.101.166.237 09:51, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- Agree. It was an optical illusion that people even very close together, perceived differently, nothing to do with echoing each other's arguments. --Jarfil (talk) 13:40, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- Ahh, the good old days. When the color of a dress was the internets biggest controversy. 130.76.187.35 15:28, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
