English has bilabial plosives where you touch both lips together and let air stop for a moment which makes the P or B sounds.
English doesn’t have a bilabial fricative so you might be doing this in your dialect and it doesn’t stand out to anyone because it doesn’t otherwise have a phonetic meaning. But, interestingly, in other languages a bilabial fricative has distinct meaning from a labial dental fricative. I believe I’ve read that in Japanese the “F” in “Mount Fuji” is actually a bilabial fricative and not the normal F that English speakers use.

It does but other hand also blocks the oxygen. and when you zoom out of the meme and see OP you see that they have been dead for a long time.
Shouldn’t that X axis really be “percentage” instead of “number” for this to make any sense at all?
If you read the blog post one day older than this one from before he got the code, he speaks more about the Israeli ties. The CEO for TeleMessage is former IDF.
