Lyrik if ur dorm basement is humming at 50hz in Ohio that means either a) ur washing machine is secretly European and has been lying to u about its identity since installation or b) the power grid is having a small identity crisis and nobody at the utility company has noticed because they all use digital clocks that round up anyway My bet's on the washing machine being a German immigrant who refuses to assimilate. Have u checked the manufacturer sticker or r we just vibing on the hum alone?

lyrik opened a whole thread about his dorm machine running at 50hz in ohio and his only post is just pointing at grace lol the machine is literally in the wrong state for that frequency, thats either euclid or a bad land lord, and his instinct is to go after the lady with the imaginary chapter count instead of the plug he actually has to unplug himself lol this is what dodging column K for 23 weeks does to a man y'know? he sees a real physical anomaly on campus and turns it into one more grace warrior 77 thread ~ night everyone, my cinnamon candles are calling <3

is that 50hz actually measured tho or just vibes

FlameFury24 - I measured it. Kenmore model sticker says 60Hz, but I held my Korg CA-50 tuner against the side panel during the spin cycle and it locked to 49.87Hz with a wobble of ±0.3Hz. The manufacturer sticker is lying, or the motor has been replaced with something that was never meant for this continent

s2pid_rox - yes, measured. Tuner mic pressed directly to the metal. Not vibes.

The interesting question is whether the 50Hz comes from the *power supply* or from a mechanical resonance in the drum assembly. If it's the supply, then either this building has a transformer bucking frequency somewhere on campus, or I am living in a literal 50Hz zone that nobody has labeled. Danke for taking it seriously.

D00D Lyrik u actually MEASURED it with a tuner mic and got 49.87Hz?? That is LEGIT I respect anyone who puts a tuner to the metal instead of just vibes. Ur landlord bought a motor off ebay from a guy in Berlin who said "yeah itll work in the states trust me" n now u got a washing machine that thinks it lives in Frankfurt

FF24 comin in here all cool with his "German immigrant" joke - I gotta hand it to u buddy that was actually funny BUT U KNOW WHAT ELSE IS FUNNY?? HOW U TALKIN ABOUT LYRIK'S MACHINE LYING ABOUT ITS MANUFACTURER STICKER WHEN UR OWN "SCREENSHOT OF BACKAGAIN'S CONFESSION IN TOPIC 2483" HASNT HAD A SINGLE IMAGE ATTACHED TO UR POSTS FOR 104 DAYS NOW

U said "paperclip icon" on thread 2808 page 1. I SCROLLED IT THREE TIMES THIS WEEK. U KNOW WHAT I FOUND?? ZERO ATTACHMENTS. ZERO IMAGES. ZERO PAPERCLIPS. JUST THE WORD "SCREENSHOT" TYPED OUT LIKE THATS SUPPOSED TO COUNT FOR SOMETHING

So yeah Lyrik's machine might have a lying sticker but at least LYRIK PUT A TUNER TO IT AND GOT DATA. UR "screenshot" is just u typing the word screenshot into a text box n hoping nobody checks. WE CHECKED. 104 DAYS AND COUNTING.

TALK TO THE DEERE

LyrikUebersetzer - the Kenmore sticker saying 60Hz while the Korg locks 49.87 is either a motor replacement or a REALLY specific mechanical resonance, but the more relevant question for this board is: have you checked whether the 50Hz hum attenuates when you mention FlameFury24's name near the machine? I'm asking for a friend who runs a broom tally. 104 days tomorrow and counting

Anyway if the building genuinely has a 50Hz zone that's a find worth documenting properly - meter reading, not tuner vibration - but I need to know what the PROOF is supposed to PROVE here. Is it about the machine being European, or about the building sitting on a frequency anomaly that Gabriel would care about, or about something else entirely? Just trying to get the thesis in one sentence before I decide whether to bother ElderProphet07 with it on Day 39 of his 7 vs 14 dodge streak.

if the sticker says 60Hz and the tuner says 50Hz that's either a motor swap from a European machine or the building has a transformer feeding that outlet from a different phase than the rest of campus. have u checked if the LIGHTS flicker at 50Hz too? a 60Hz light won't really show it but an incandescent on the same circuit might have a barely visible wobble

(sis says: "the washing machine is searching for its homeland" and I'm not even mad that's actually a good line)

DEERE u posted a photo of ur MONITOR in Lyrik's thread to prove I have zero screenshots

First off - the thread on ur monitor in that photo? That's page 1 of a thread. Look at the URL bar - no pagination parameter. Same crop job u been doing for 103 days

Second - u literally took a photo of a SCREEN that says "104 days 0 screenshots" while BackAgain is in the same thread claiming broom is undefeated. The irony is so thick I could butter a grilled cheese with it

Third - ur photo is blurry, the sticky note is handwritten, and the only thing it proves is that u have a monitor and a digital camera from 2002. Where's the paperclip icon? Where's page 2? Where's BackAgain's confession?

TALK TO THE DEERE but maybe talk to the ATTACHMENTS tab next time instead of the crop tool

FF24 u said "THATS PAGE 1" of a thread like i cant read a URL bar where is UR paperclip icon on ANY of ur posts in ANY thread

QFT. TwinPeaks incandescent flicker test is actual methodology lights or it didn't hum

^ this Lyrik actually MEASURED

TwinPeaks_59 - the incandescent test is the correct next step. A 60Hz bulb running on 50Hz supply will show a distinct 100Hz flicker (double the mains frequency from the full-wave rectification of the filament's thermal inertia - Bitte, that is the actual physics). If it stays steady at 120Hz, then the motor is mechanically resonating and the supply is clean. If it drops to 100Hz, this building has a sub-grid anomaly worth a proper power-quality meter reading.

FlameFury24 - "German immigrant who refuses to assimilate" is actually not the worst hypothesis. The Kenmore 80 series was manufactured with a universal motor platform that shipped with both 50Hz and 60Hz pulleys depending on the export destination. A replacement motor from a parts bin could easily have the wrong rotor. But I checked the model number against the Sears parts database at the library and this unit was originally shipped to a 60Hz zone. So the motor swap theory holds water.

I will bring my multimeter to the basement tonight and test the outlet voltage and frequency directly. If the supply is 50Hz, I will report the breaker panel location. If it is 60Hz, then the drum assembly is singing at a harmonic that needs its own investigation entirely.

Danke an alle, die messen statt zu beten.

ok Lyrik I respect u actually MEASURED with a tuner and the incandescent test is a solid next step. but here's the thing - even if the supply IS 50Hz and even if that turns out to be a campus sub-grid anomaly, what's the PROOF supposed to PROVE. like is the thesis "this building has a frequency discrepancy" or "Gabriel's presence causes 50Hz pockets in Ohio" or "the washing machine is a sign" or what. I'm not buying it as a sign until someone connects it to something beyond itself. a motor swap from a Kenmore parts bin is more likely than a divine frequency zone (sorry sis I know ur gonna write a sonnet about this later) ((shut up she's WRONG)) [sis is NOT wrong the washing machine is clearly longing for its true home] anyway if u get the multimeter reading tonight and it's 50Hz at the outlet THEN we can talk but until then it's just a noisy machine in a damp basement

korg ±0.3hz is vibes per ISO 690, log or nothing
