That’s because we’re in the mirror universe. It all makes sense now, sadly.

I think that you’re falling into the same trap like many others here. Not saying you don’t have aphantasia, but e.g. the subreddit is full of people deluding themselves into believing they suffer from aphantasia. Because their experience is similar to what Fondots said.

I have the same exact experience. But I can still rotate 3D images, paint scenes, draw maps, watch spaceships or compare color palettes in my mind.

Every questionnaire is kinda based on “do you see it like in real life or nah?”. Depending on your definition of “seeing”, imo people with the same level of visualisation might choose opposite ends of the spectrum.

See pilots eject and the plane go down behind some trees: omg. Fireball: O M G !?!? People, what did you expect?

Und wie viele Kinder!? Die hatten ihr Leben noch vor sich! Erwachsene sind bekanntermaßen nichts Wert.

And don’t look up ANYTHING! No googling whatsoever. The only barrier and enjoyment is knowledge. If really stuck, ask for help in a community. The one on the old site is very good.

Omg I never realized. That was a really bad episode tho. Horrible acting all around.

79% is shockingly high. Shows how many old people there are.

Alle Mensen, die ich kenne, haben bei ihren veganen Gerichten oft ne süß-sauer Komponente. Mango, Ananas, irgendein Chutney, hier Passionsfrucht. Viele mögen das nicht. Es muss ja nicht immer experimentell sein. Gemüse, Kartoffeln wären eben auch manchmal nett. Oder Fried rice mit Gemüse. Oder oder oder.

Edit: Rosinen! Ich hab Rosinen vergessen. Bäh!

I’m gonna be honest with you, I dislike the attitude of “I never understood sth” followed by confrontational and accusational language. Maybe you did not intend to be hostile, but you’re much less likely to get a straight answer with that tone. You’re much more likely to trigger “I know, right!?” responses by people already sharing your opinion/impression.

Seems like you already made up your mind about lurkers apparently. Let me tell you why I mostly lurk. I guess this applies to others as well.

• Just because people don’t engage on social media does not mean they don’t engage in other parts of life.
• Engaging takes effort, time and energy. Many people don’t have those to spare.
• Contributions are also is not guaranteed to get positive feedback. Discussions with people holding different opinions is difficult for some people (various reasons). Open hostility is also a possibility.
• Some (I guess most) people are not here to have discussions at all, just to consume. They are not primarily looking for a community, but entertainment or news. They have other priorities / more important things to do.

Maybe you actually were interested in an honest answer. Here it is.

With a father like that, those posts will be the least of this kid’s problems.

• Ohh, shiny new toy!
• I don’t have anything to hide.
• They don’t know about it
• They know about it but don’t realize how bad it is
• Peer pressure
• …

I don’t think that just because some people don’t abandon Reddit now means they’re apathetic or desensitized in general. There’s so many things wrong with the world and not everyone can and will fight everything all the time. People have different item on the top of their lists.

I’m certain you are doing things in your life others would be flabbergasted at like you are here. For example: Do you eat meat, tuna, stuff with palm oil? Do you have pets? Do you drive a car? There’s people out there who’d call you apathetic to the problems these things cause.

I’m certainly not a saint 100% of the time because if I tried I’d fall apart. Like everyone else would.
