A theory developed that shows the moans are the inverse of sighs. Where moans go up then down in tone, sighs go down then up in tone. This theory is useful for people learning Chinese, or taking Mandarin/Cantonese as a Second Language.
According to the moan-sigh theory, the essence of pronunciation for mandarin characters with the 3rd tone is comparable to that of a sigh, or the inverse of a sigh - known as a moan.

Get the Trickle-down Theorymug. The game Among Us made in 2018 is a curse from god to deteriorate the human brain in response to the evil of man. The mental illness known as "amogus lol" comes in 4 stages getting worse as it goes.
Stage #1 You play the game Among Us and aprricate the simple design of the characters. Along the way you learn the common language used such as Impostor, sus and the N-word.
Stage #2 You begin to see the resemblance to the crewmate characters in different things in your life such as fire alarms, trashcans and washing machines. You utter the term "amogus" whenever you see anything with an oval in the middle.
Stage #3 You see "amogus" everywhere you go from your fingertips to things with no resemblance to the crewmate whatsoever like the shape of Benjamin Franklin's hair on the $100 bill.
Stage #4 (Insanity) You live to despise amogus attacking everything you see as amogus such as your own family random doors and public figures. You are locked away in a mental hospital for the rest of your existance.

This Theory states that if two lanky ass niggas orbit around the same fat bitch, quantum fusion occurs, giving the fat bitch endless energy until she inevitably collides with the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Leading to a chain reaction that tears a hole in the fabric of space-time.
Joe Gatto discovered the theory of Quantum Nigganometry from illegal experiments conducted behind the scene of their hidden camera tv show "Impractical Jokers". He is facing four consecutive life sentences.

Get the The Theory of Quantum Nigganometrymug. The theory first posited by Hym Iam (Yours truly) that states "If the Pareto principle applies to 'the ability to accrue influence'; then there will inevitably come a time where someone is able to accrue a supreme or vastly disproportionate amount of influence and use said influence for evil". Loosely derivative of pseudo-religious "Anti-Christ" literature and a reference to the Marvel villain "Zebediah Killgrave" AKA "Purple Man".

Iam "That's not true! Look at what Daryl Davis was able to do with those KKK members. He was able to get through the cognitive dissonance and get them to operate outside of the framework of conceptualization they had initially adopted."
Hym "That's just trading one framework for another. The act of adopting the framework allows them to forgo the 'reasoning' that is required (by definition) to constitute the expression of 'ego'."
Iam "But I doubt Daryl Davis has the philosophical suppositions required to constitute a 'Framework of conceptualization'. Anyone who is acting out the script of a 'framework of conceptualization' can (in fact) be reset to 'ego expression'."
Hym "Let's assume that you're correct. That's one anecdotal example of the KKK framework being reset to 'ego expression'. We don't know that it works that way across a variety of frameworks. We don't know whether or not they are falling under his 'indirect' influence so that's little more than speculation."
Iam "Then I guess we'll have to learn more about what he did to convince these KKK members to abandon their initial framework. He either posited a new framework (which they replaced the old one) or he broke through the cognitive dissonance and reset them all to 'ego expression'. But that's as far as we can get for now."
