I’d probably make an account there if it moves to piefed.

correct me if I’m wrong, but I think ublock origin updates quickly enough to remove these notifications before most users see them

Stephanie Pappas must have been really proud when she came up with that title

yess when I read that this is a common experience for aphants, I became pretty certain I’m an aphant too. crazy how people can do that on command

welcome to the rabbit hole!

I spend a lot of my idle time “working” on different problems with projects I have going on and a lot of that involves “constructing” things in my mind.

I do, too! I guess in a different way though. A lot of aphants like to compare it to a computer that does not have a screen or GUI. The computer is there - also the graphics card, the images, the data - but nothing visual appears in your mind’s eye. I would say there are several things that are more difficult for me to do - but surprisingly people with aphantasia function just fine. Otherwise I would have known something is different with me way earlier.

it’s absolutely wild! I still struggle to imagine how other people can picture things.

I do! I visualize when I dream. But I can’t do it on command. This is how I realized I probably have aphantasia. I can never consciously visualize. I can think and conceptualize, but not ‘see’.

I don’t think I have an inner monologue. Also I have full Aphantasia. I can’t visually imagine an apple let alone rotate it in my mind.
