I’m just wondering why that kid’s watching a guy drop a deuce
Do...do you really want the context?
I was one of the unlucky 10,000 the last time this was posted. Let someone else have their day ruined.
Or made. You know, maybe they're one of the lucky ones in that cohort to find out just how much they love ~~poop~~.

I have aphantasia.
How does reading and watching it in your mind's eye change anything from just watching it on a screen?
I prefer audio books because it allows me to critically think better during because I can listen and think at same time, but reading words takes more brain power.
I guess it's a matter of preference, because in my mind there's no way listening takes less brainpower than reading.
That's probably very different from person to person, since its different how well they can parse heard words and seen words. For me hearing is way faster, but I’m also more likely to confuse sounds than characters.

I don't think this is very related to phantasia.. With a book you can stop and think about things (imaginatively or critically). With video your entire attention is captured and it's quite difficult to step away from the narrative being presented. In my experience audio is somewhere in between, and I'm able to zone out on my own tangent sometimes (but this is annoying, because I miss things)

We usually think in linguistic concepts even when reading a book, one of the most difficult things to do with a student when they are learning drawing is teaching them to really see instead of thinking of linguistic traits. I have aphantasia and it is difficult for me to recall visual traits so instead i focus on visual recipes, or construction while drawing. It is difficult for me to recall faces for example but if i reduce a face to geometric shapes and proportions and do a lot of trial and error so i can approximate a face I've seen.
So when reading is not that I am seeing things, but i am making a conceptual map, an abstraction. Kinda like how dreams are like stories we tell ourselves to the point they might seem like intangible images. Sometimes I feel my brain relate stuff i read to things i've already seen, or builds some conceptual bridge between known concepts to unknown ones.
But reading is also a practice on itself different than hearing. Language has aesthetics, rhythm character. I feel i learn more about the aesthetic beauty of language by reading it on the page than hearing it on an audio book because it forces me to build that bridge between my horizon of understanding and the authors'.
This is especially true for authors that have an entirely different background than me because to understand them i need to read slower and research. Something that audio books doesn't allow with it's predisposed presentation.

What did I miss? The guy pooping? And this is just boomer humor. Books are great but visual art can do the same thing for my brain.
It's not poop. And it's not leaving his pooper.
No, it's something much worse. Just move on.
No, tell him exactly what it is.
My curiosity will get the better of me one way or another.
Tap for just the name of the reference
It's a reference to the Shock Site video "1 man 1 jar"
don't tap this or I'll tell you what that is.
A man sits on a glass jar, and it shatters in his anus. He whimpers but does not speak, and removes pieces of bloody glass from his anus with his shaking hands.
I warned you.
Fuck man. I think I've heard of this but def haven't watched it. Thanks all the same.

this is a nuanced topic. as much as this meme is trying to be intelligent, it's just as dumb as what it's critiquing.
you learn to think from books, but film and TV exercises that thinking. in film you'll find symbolism and metaphor and meaning, intentional or not.
being able to extract that is intelligence, not raw facts. americans love to boast about how educated they are and about the virtues of education, but why are there millions of users of goodreads and letterboxd and few can write a coherent paragraph about a book they read or a film they watched?
it's because of this type of braindead thinking--it's all about imagination!!! imagination is great, but it's really about thinking; it's about not being stuck in thought patterns that lead nowhere.
What's that? A shadow with two legs and a poop falling inbetween? I really don't get it.
You can access to fantasy and fairytale story through both online and book, depend on your choice
when i first saw this meme i thought the left one was a dark fountain from deltarune lol
I mean they do represent fiction
Like I understand the sentiment but I've got ADHD so the sentiment is bullshit for me.
I have ADHD so when I get into reading I read a lot, but I haven't been able to focus on reading anything in like 4 years.

I read a lot of SciFi when I was a teen. I learned not to bother seeing the movie if one was made. They always got so much wrong, and by "wrong" I mean it didn't match my imagination.
This is why I'm currently hesitating to watch Hail Mary Project.
