Are you suggesting "dumbass idiot 𓅩" with a bio of "shut the fuck hi" is a completely serious account? It's fairly obvious that it's a tongue-in-cheek joke, the linked url doesn't even work.
Also CVS is a big corporate pharmacy chain where people buy their toothpaste, etc. I doubt this is how CVS does their marketing
However the joke is spot on, since that image is not far removed from the general mess at a typical CVS. You walk in for your meds and are bombarded with a special deal on soda, makeup, want a beach toy? how about some junk food? oh wait here's some more cheap cosmetics to go with your passport photo… By the time you get to the OTC drug section that has the tiny selection of the same meds in 5 different brandings/packagings, you're already overwhelmed. The whole store is a UX fail.
As a side note, I'm fit and not diabetic but making people who struggle with glucose control walk past all these snacks is just evil—or ar the very least highly insensitive. Profit first, damn the sick! :(

#103Looks like an assemblage of raffle prizes on a table, first prize is the weird wig in the foreground.
I was thinking wedding gifts on a table, but same sort of thing.

I've experienced this, not as a result of having a stroke, but as a result of severe dehydration and depleted potassium making parts of my brain shut down, or at least malfunction horribly. It is terrifying , and even looking at this picture makes me begin to feel the panic I felt during that episode. I could not identify anything, or figure out the connection between what I was touching and what I was seeing. Bath t…
I've had this experience before enough times that it's no longer frightening but means I urgently need some Gatorade or I may start shaking and pouring sweat. For me it's more like a moving shade that makes it impossible to see what's behind it rather than not being able to recognize it. Do you have some detail on what you think it's the brain shutting down rather than an effect on the eyes themselves?
Maybe it's the electrolytes. An electrolyte imbalance can lead to a situation that mimics the symptoms of a stroke.[0]

Are you aware of the shade or does it behave like your blind spot? Because I've had a few instances in my life where it felt like my blind spot took up a much larger portion of my vision. I've also had the shaking then suddenly starting to profusely sweat that goes away when I eat something.

#105I wonder if that's how new born babies see the world, before they're able to recognize objects and their environment.

It surprises me sometimes how innocently naive people are. How people miss obvious jokes, parody and sarcasm online. I figured as more people use the internet, the less naive they'd be, but it seems like the opposite is happening. And the more obvious the joke, the more people seem to take it seriously.

#107I'm only reading about people getting really uncomfortable looking at this (on reddit). To me it did nothing, although I also couldn't recognise any of the items in the picture. Does anyone else have the same experience?
The first time I was the same. I looked at it a second time and the longer I looked it felt increasingly uncomfortable, almost to the point of panic.

#108Posted on Twitter from a thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/bghyv5/t... From the thread's title: > This picture is designed to give the viewer the simulated experience of having a stroke (particularly in the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex, where visual perception occurs.) Everything looks hauntingly familiar but you just can't quite recognize anything
Well, now I know what's going on if the real world starts looking like that. And I bet it will sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8
Keep in mind though that strokes (and ministrokes) come in many forms. They can affect most brain functions and sometimes you won't even be aware of them.

Lots of this has been done in language, like the Rockwell Retro Encabulator (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXJKdh1KZ0w) and Plumbus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMJk4y9NGvE)

All mostly made of plastic.
