If an ear is an icon for sound, and a nose is an icon for smell, what's a good icon for thought?

      Proprioception. I believe there are around 20 senses. Off the top of my head there’s heat as well.

  Brain, lightbulb, question mark, or Velociraptor.

  A pentagram

    Ok, I'll go with velociraptor. Maybe not as an icon of thought, but I'll go with it.

    That doesn’t read too well to me. I was thinking a generic puffy cloud.

    I was thinking brain too but at icon scale it looks like a lumpy grey bean. I too was thinking cloud. Your basic puffy cumulus.

  all of the senses collectively

  The eye is sometimes used as a synecdoche for the senses as a whole. For example, you might see a sign that says “Be alert for risk of fire” with an open eye symbol on it. But you could easily sense a fire by smell or touch or hearing. Even the phrase “look out” really means beware in a general sense. Vision just predominates in our consciousness and so it gets used as a stand in for the senses as a whole.

    Yeah I know. But if you’re talking about “sight” and “all of the senses” in the same paragraph, and using an eye to represent both, then it could get confusing.

  Disembodied brain in a jar is my vote.

  Lightbulb or brain, probably.

  A book.

  Sounds go into the ears, smells go into noses, thoughts go into books.

  • dope@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Interesting idea. I’ll think about that.

    source
• RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Probably a brain. Although a light bulb could also apply considering its a sign of an idea, and thus a thought.
