The apple-less should not be shamed, but pitied. For they are unable to keep doctors away from their doorstep
I’m apple-less. But I can’t picture you shaming me.
Okay, yeah, but can you turn off the music in your head?
Hell nah and I couldn’t survive without it
Hey Don’t write yourself off yet
It just takes some time
Yeah, learn how to play an instrument. Rapidly play multiple songs after each other. For a little while it’ll be quiet. I usually end up having one of the songs I played in my head after a bit though. But it’ll get rid of really annoying songs.
Does anyone else have a visual memory that doesn’t work consistently?
There are days that I can “see” a picture crystal clear high definition in my mind. And there’s other days that I “see” everything blurred, or under a fog, or hidden in something like TV static/noise.
Nope, pretty consistent for me. Does you sleep quality or hydration affect it?
Yup, I also have times where pulses in clarity.
0 I can create apples with a mere thought.
We bullying those with aphantasia now?
Are we taking shitposts seriously now?
Waaahhh… Not like I wanted an apple in the first place.
Btw I feel like this is good place to promote [email protected] Not very active but maybe others could help change that.
not very active
Maybe potential users simply can’t see themselves interacting there.
Damn I’ve read about aphantasia before but never seen it depicted in a graph with levels… turns out I’m around a 4… thats weird.
Here is a slightly different (but better resolution) image:
That’s pretty interesting. I never gave it much thought, but apparently I’m between a 2 & 3 at the moment
I’m solidly a 1 and I can’t fathom anything else. I’d love to read studies about this.
I don’t know if I’m a 1 or 5. I can’t tell the difference between picturing a fully realistic image of an apple and imagining what my brain tells me is a fully realistic image of an apple and I can’t conceive of how one could tell the difference.
I feel like I’m between 4 and 5 if I try to imagine something on purpose but if I’m reading a book or someone is describing something to me I’m a solid 1 as I can vividly see what it’s being described.
Ide love to see what you can see when you read or listen to a book. It would take so much less energy to read as much as i do. It must be like watching a movie playout inside your head with the best narrator i could imagine
I’m a 1 on that chart and I struggle to understand how you can even follow what’s happening in a book without being able to imagine it.
I mean, you have to be able to fill in the gaps don’t you? Books can’t describe every detail.
Short answer is, you can’t. That’s why I don’t read books.
Longer answer is that even if you read a book you can still understand what of happening in the book, you simply won’t get a visual image of what you read. Makes books pretty boring to read IMO.
You’re spot on. I genuinely tend to forget if I’ve read a book or watched a movie/series if it’s been a few years.
