Re: Name one thing in this photo
#112A while ago, I had a migraine with stroke-like symptoms in the other direction: I could form thoughts in my head, but could only get a garbled mess out of my mouth. As a knowledge worker whose most important asset is his brain, this was one of the most terrifying experiences in my life.
I've (probably) had a ministroke (TIA). What surprised me is that typing was affected in the same way for me. In my mind I made a coherent sentence with words, but when I read back what I wrote, I understood that it was a garbled mess. I tried again, failed, and became frustrated.
The crazy part to me was that I realized something was wrong, but it never occurred to me to ask for help. I tried to stubbornly keep working. I was trying to set up IIS at the time. I knew what I was roughly doing, but I kept forgetting what I was specifically doing. Reading those chat logs reminds me that even my own brain can fail me.

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?
What makes you dehydrate so severely so often? I've never had this happen, and I'm not that on-the-ball about hydration.

#115Posted 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

Admittedly I find this reaction very interesting in comparison to my own. I find not recognizing things very normal (due to the way my brain functions) and so upon viewing the photo my brain took the equivalent of a step back, squinting a little, and then moving on with its day. It identified black portions as cat fur, then there was an animal head, piles of garbage, some jewelery, mostly due to texture and internal pattern matching of what portions of things generally look like and projecting them onto the page.

#116A fipple, two gonzies, a stib, borquet and tinch, and I think I also see a couple of goffels
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 )
Sounds like the industrial piping mumbo-jumbo in The Patriot[1].

#118I saw this used in a meme yesterday, and I was torn between it being something GAN generated and a blurry picture of a hoarders room filled with bags of rubbish

Maybe it's the electrolytes. An electrolyte imbalance can lead to a situation that mimics the symptoms of a stroke.[0] > 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. 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 por…
I've had this about three times in my life. The first time I thought I was having a stroke and went to bed, in the hopes it would go away. The next morning I was alright.
The second time happened at work and a co-worker brought me to the hospital. Turned out I was having a migraine attack with aura.
The third time happened at work again. I took an aspirin and took it easy for about an hour. My project manager asked me to go home, but that felt more troublesome to me than just sitting it out.

I drink an inordinate amount of coffee (and often a few servings of beer the night before) and exercise quite a bit.
I'm bad about drinking water
