Is it worth it? That depends. What percentage of the boys does it bring to the yard?
edgesmash@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I think we need to run a controlled experiment to determine the ratio of boys brought to one’s yard.

As someone with full auditory and visual Aphantasia. This is extremely fucked up and ableist. (I am honestly only half joking this is very ableist either way)
I can’t rotate cows in my head. I can’t even hear cows in my head.
The cops still can’t stop be tho.

I can’t even hear cows in my head.
I’m curious about that part. Does that mean you also don’t get that weird thing where you hear like, people chattering/ music/ something falling down just before you fall asleep? Or are dreams/half-asleep hallucinations not affected by aphantasia?

Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Apparently dreams aren’t necessarily affected by aphantasia.
I feel like when I do have dreams they are extremely vivid and real because I am seeing my thoughts which isn’t normal.

Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
I have full apantasia audio and visual. I can still dream. I know I can and I know I see things and hear things in my dream. But when I wake up I can’t recall any visual or audio.
I tried teaching myself the lucid dream at one point and all it did was when I realized I was in a dream. Everything goes away. Exactly as if I’m awake. It’s a very bizarre feeling. It also causes my fight or flight instinct to kick in real hard and gives me panic attacks. So I kind of stop doing that. Ain’t fun and very unpleasant very weird. Far worse than waking up with sleep paralysis I must say.

How/when did you discover this?
user_name@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Not OP but also have aphantasia.
I discovered it when I was…23? My whole life I figured people were saying “picture this…” figuratively and it didn’t even occur to me that it could be otherwise because it was self-evidently impossible to me to “see” something until I learned the word “aphantasia” and that the inability to visualize is not considered the norm/not universal.
fartographer@lemmy.world 1 day ago
100% of theoretical physicists would agree that cows are spheres. You could do mental math in which you calculate changes to the cardinality of the distributed mass.
It should look something like this: 0⁰
Fuck, it’s the police!

I can hear cows in my head, but seriously it’s not that great. All they say all day long is, “kill them. Kill them all.”
It’s kind of monotonous.

rumba@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Yeah i’m like 80% aphantasiac, I can picture maybe the last time I saw a cow I, could probably imagine something else in the static scene, I can’t even really make it turn it’s head.
There’s no rotating it.
blargh513@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
All I got is dark gray static. No cows. The occasional moving blob of different dark gray static.

I have an idea or a concept of a cow. Turns out that’s not standard wither and falls under aphantasia.

You’re also free from seeing horrific things you’ve experienced over and over again. What are your dreams like?
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 12 hours ago
That might not be specifically aphantasia, but closely related symptom called SDAM(severly deficient autobiographical memory), but yes, I’m immune to seeing or reliving any of the past traumatic or bad events. Lived through past or experiences don’t exist for me.
I don’t have dreams or at least the handful of times per year i have something that might resemble a dream. It’s forgotten within minutes after waking up.

A condition with a prevalence rate of 0.8% is not worth thinking about, let alone considering in the context of a meme.
KairuByte@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I’m with you, blindness has a prevalence rate of 0.2%, fuck them no more image descriptions on Lemmy.
Caesium@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I mean, it’s a pretty hard thing to understand if you don’t know about aphantasia. Since we can’t know what other people experience in their mind, what we perceive is considered ‘normal’ because that’s all we know.
I didn’t realize I had aphantasia until I was 18. Doesn’t mean I suddenly became aphantasic at that same time.
InputZero@lemmy.world 1 day ago
While a prevalence of 0.8% may seem like a tiny amount but when applied to a large population it’s a significant number of people. Let’s say a city has a nice round 100,000 people, a small city by any measure. That’s 800 people, not such a small number anymore. The lives of those 800 people are worth thinking about. Granted in the context of a larger population but it’s still something.

It’s always worth considering people who function differently, even if it’s just a passing thought.
flandish@lemmy.world 1 day ago
representation matters.
Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Its estimated that almost 95%+ of all cases of it go unnoticed or diagnosed. It was only officially recognized 10 years ago.
Its estimated that 1-4% of the population have complete audio or visual aphantasia. 1-2% have both and roughly 30% of the population has some level of partial. And these are conservative numbers.
And that’s just based on the last few years of study of somethingt that most people don’t even know exists, is non life impacting in a way to get people to speak out assistance. And thus goes mostly untalked about outside a few online circles for the most part.
Either way, if you just include people with complete visual alone that’s still a fuck load of people.

When I used to have to go to church as a kid, I’d imagine I was starting a new save file of Zelda Ocarina of Time. By the time mass was over I’d usually be up to one of the first rooms in the Great Deku Tree, in my head. It was only decades later I learned I was also autistic, but that’s a story for another day!

Thank you for sharing.
I have a thing were I can imagine speech without having to imagine sounds. I don’t know how to call that. That is some sort of quiet internal narration for my imagination that happened when I read a lot. When I watch a lot of movies, I end up imagining camera mouvement, like traveling and zoom in/out. It is like I can imagine vividly but the way my imagination express itself is out of my control and depend on my recent environnement.

Traitorous people want to make you believe for some reason that YOU CAN do things WITHOUT your LOCAL CORPORATION knowing. TO USE such DANGEROUS things as IMAGINATION is ANTI AMERICAN, and is the attempt of ILLEGAL ALIENS to weaken the AMERICAN ECONOMY which is doing great, best it has ever been, yesterday a big economy, strong economy; beautiful economy, came down to me, tears down its eyes, thanking me, saying mister President, thank you so much for making me beautiful again, and I said of course I did, after SLOW POWEL got out, I was able to lower interest rates, devalue the dollar and FORCE AMERICAN FACTORIES back so that great products like most AMERICAN products can really SUCEED and BRING the AMERICAN DREAM BACK contrary to CHINA which is faltering, have you seen how mismanaged their real estate sector is, I could’ve done much better, cause I am a GENIUS and clearly I am amazing, did you see how I ACED MULTIPLE COGNITIVE TESTS, they asked me list these animals, and I said, it’s obvious, woman man person camera TV and the doctor, she speaking of XI, he’s an amazing leader who is making China great and TOLD ME that I PREVENTED AMERICAN DECLINE AND AM NOW ON ROUTE TO A GOLDEN AGE like my BALLROOM which is GOLDEN and TACTICAL, and SAFE just like our stock market IT IS RISING AND BETTER THAN EVER. THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, PRESIDENT DONALD JOHNATHAN TRUMP

Yet with NSPM-7 they’re allowed to investigate you if you appear to hold anti-american, anti-capitalist, anti-family, anti-traditional values or extreme ideas om race, gender, etc…
So, effectively, they can investigate you for thought crimes now.

Is the mind cow merely rotating in air, or must I imagine myself picking it up and rotating it physically? If I’m imagining physically rotating the cow, am I imagining exertion, or should I be imagining that I have super human strength?
In what plane should I rotate it?
Is the cow in a field or in a barn? Or is it in an empty void?
If I’m physically rotating the cow, how am I dressed? Am I wearing my normal attire, or am I dressed like a dairy farmer? How does a dairy farmer dress? Is the cow wearing any clothing?
Can I choose what season I imagine the cow rotating in, or must it be the current season?
I have so many questions and now I’m even more bored than I was before!
