Alright, somebody’s gonna have to explain it to me, cause I don’t get it.

Van Gough had one ear, so he’s missing one audio cable. Beethoven was ~~dead~~ deaf, so he is missing both audio cables. Wanda was in love with the character Vision, and he died, so no video cable for her.

Edit: typo 🤣

lol I think you misspelled deaf

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I know! Now I’m dead! 🤣

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Oooh, ok. Lol.

Those cables are RCA, for trasporting audio and video;
Red(right channel) and white(left channel) for audio, yellow for video

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fun fact: there is no right or left channel in the RCA standard. One (white IIRC) is positive both channels and the other (red IIRC) is negative right. That way one is actually mono with both channels overlayed, to get stereo the system (tv, hi-fi, etc…) subtracts one from the other and then inverts the negative one for two channels.

Oh, cool! I always thought that there were channels and if you just plugged one it would just act as mono audio like some sort of fallback

Oh ok, so Van Gogh only has one ear, Beethoven is deaf, why does Scarlet Witch only have audio? Was she blinded?

Edit: another user explained it: she has no Vision.
