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.
i can't see things in my mind's eye but like, i can fucking comprehend the concept of representative models, that has no relation to the aphantasia lmao
i think they were just a bit dumdum
