Actually I just checked and estimates of the prevalence have gone up to 1 in 4 people having it. I long suspected that more people have it then actually realize, because one of the core experiences many of us have is to realize that what we have is not actually “normal”

But the question is: how many who don’t see a color would post in this thread at all?

And if they do have synesthesia, how many self-select to places like piefed because they feel different from others.

It’s not aphantasia, people with synesthesia connect different symbols and numbers with different colors…

(I say that, but it’s actually more diverse than that, but the letter/number to color one seems to be the most prevalent)

… it technically is a neurological disorder where the signals get mixed up in the brain, although I haven’t met someone with it yet who’d give it up.

That one is so odd because I just think confusion was what they were going for, at least when copying the original recipe. The original recipe specified the use of “German’s Sweet Chocolate”. Which also isn’t German, but named after a guy called Samuel German. But they dropped the possessive s and nobody wonders why a German cake would contain pecans.

I was thinking about putting a reference to that in, but decided it would be a bit trite.

The color orange is named after the fruit, not the other way round

That’s how stuff gets their names.

Every single one of us is travelling through space on a tiny speck of dirt, circling a permanent explosion that doesn’t know how to stop itself at 30km/s.
That explosion and multiple specks of dirt besides our own dance around the center of the galaxy in a complex ballet with 200 billion other permanently exploding balls of fire and plasma, many of which are sizeably larger than ours and also have collected pieces of dirt circling around them, at a speed of 200km/s. The center of this agglomeration of giant balls of fire and dirt is a… thing… that is in itself so massive it can’t help eating everything that comes near including suns, light, and the concept of time.

And there, travelling around the center of the galaxy at 200km/s, spiraling around your sun at 30km/s, there is you. And somehow you have to work tomorrow.

Depends on the meds, and they can have a drastically different effect on people.

Duloxetin: days, full effect after about a month (side effects after a year or so)
Sertraline: never worked, in fact made stuff worse
Prefaxine: about three weeks to feel noticeable effect.

I am running one myself and it mostly has replaced my normal search engine use. Image search is possible but incredibly slow, it often is easier to just go to Google or duckduckgo instead.
Some of the search engines will quickly limit you if you search more often, you better check out which ones work for you and which don’t. If I want to buy products of any kind I normally use Google as I noticed I never get any good results.

Aren’t school children in US cutting up dead frogs? Or is that just made up by TV?

Keep talking girl, you had me at “blow up the earth”

So You mean… Shadowrun

(Except its of course Stuffer Shack, and they might actually have some drones in the back)
