Maybe they're trying to read lips.

I am having a craving for some crispy salty hyperbolic paraboloids.

The new Smoky bacon flavor is pretty good.

our noses are in the corner off everything we look at but our brains have learned to ignore it. Same with whatever conflicts with our opinions and values.

That fits with what I read this morning by Oswald Chambers, edited here for popular consumption;

Go through the winepress where life's grapes are crushed, struggle to get at the expression you need, and a time will come when that expression will be the very wine of strength to another. If instead you say, “I’m not going to struggle to express this truth for myself; I’ll borrow what I say,” the expression will be not only of no use to you but of no use to anyone. Try to restate to yourself what you implicitly feel to be the truth, and you will have a chance to pass it on to someone else through you.

Always make a practice of challenging your mind to think out what it accepts easily. Our position is not truly ours until we make it ours by struggling, examining, and understanding. The author who benefits you isn’t the one who tells you something you didn’t know before; it’s the one who gives expression to the truth that has been struggling for utterance inside you.
