Something explained to me...

I was 41 when I realised that people actually see things in their minds eye. It is not just a metaphor.

Blew my mind, like it is some kind of superpower, you can just imagine stuff, and you see an image of it....

My partner is such a good cook, partly because she can combine flavours in her mind, to check if they will taste good together, that is just fucken cheating.

When people "get a song stuck in their head" they can literally hear it.... How the fuck do you get anything done, you crazy bastards.

I've encountered this the other way. I would design something for a customer, and I'd leave it Fusion360's default grey texture. Let's say I'm making a table. The following conversation would take place:

"Why is it grey?"

"That's just the software, I'm gonna make it out of wood."

"I don't want it to be grey, I want it to be wooden."

"I know, I'm going to make it out of wood. What do you think of the shape?"

"I can't see it if it's not wooden."

I honestly don't know you function like that.
