I can’t visualise at all - aphantasia seems to be the term. That said, I can often remember random details from years ago, and things like dates I can be good at. But couldn’t describe a face, or remember what someone I’ve just met is wearing, and so on.

I seem to recall Sir Alan referred to it as “a big load of toot”.

A full gourmet dinner, Scottish baby clothes, one of my video machines…

Handy I guess when you’re trying to figure out which Domino’s deal is best - do you want 2x12” for £20 or 1x16” for £18, or whatever. I don’t tend to whip out my calculator when I’m going for a meal out though.

So with everyone finally jumping ship from Twitter it seems, and a bunch of folk moving to Bluesky, I’ve given @openvibe@mastodon.social a go, so I can see my Mastodon and Bluesky in one place. Hopefully Threads too, as I don’t really have time to go through 3 or 4 different platforms separately!

Not sure if it’s a glitch, but is this not the same as a couple of days ago? Had quite a few recent repetitions, don’t know if something’s up?
