I’m short and scrawny, can I just have this one thing?!


I’m mainly going by what I saw in the locker room in 7th and 8th grade. Them tall boys were packing hogs, black guys had longer, skinnier dicks and the popular white guys… let’s just say they stood straight out, no hang. I didn’t walk out with any insecurities.
Elon OTOH, those shoes are stuffed with newspaper.


Alas, that would be like posting a skinny pig. Hard to call him a “hog”, no meat on the bone.


Skinny though, can’t have it all. 🥺


Apparently Louisiana and Mississippi are the epicenter of femboy thirst.


I wear a tux every chance I get, which is rare, but the other guys look perfectly proportioned.
Got a longish dick, smallish feet, never had the urge to “prove” anything with bigger shoes. Musk is straight up compensating.


That should be my next post! 😂 My inner monologue is like words on a page. And again, I can’t see how one could enjoy a novel with the monologue and mind’s eye.


Kinda the point of the headline. Apparently you’re not missing much or the ancients would have figured it a handicap, named it and studied it.
Far from a handicap, I was reading that scientists and mathematicians are mostly 5s. Maybe you can save CPU cycles and think in more abstract terms?


I can “see” my wife’s face, down to the pores, but I couldn’t put it on paper. That’s a whole 'nother skill. And yes, the combination of traits are probably more rare than 1%.


Face blindness (prosopagnosia) seems a different thing altogether, though you would think they’re related.


While we’re at it, when I start falling asleep reading a novel, it just keeps going in my head, like a movie. And believe it or not, the plot is usually a logical progression from where I left off. Stephan King is perfect for this, but that may be because I’ve read his books so many times. May also be because his prose flows so smoothly for me that I can just roll with it.


The left/right story might be a different thing. Was in my 40s until I could instinctively know left from right. Before that I would snap my left fingers, or mime it, because I’m sinister and can’t snap my right.
Only way I got better was saying to myself, “This is bullshit and you’re all growed up. Work on this thing.” Somehow I got better, can’t say how.
I have serious issues with modelling the world in 3D, but I’m a solid 1 on the aphantasia scale. Weird.


But is it a superpower if the ability hadn’t been called out until the 21st century? That’s what kicks my ass. We can be so radically different, on what to me is a fundamental cognitive skill, yet it doesn’t make enough of a difference that the ancients didn’t figure it out three thousand years ago!


Good heavens! I learned about the memory palace in a Hannibal Lector book, thought it was genius, assumed everyone could do that.


When I read “you see a mouse run by” I saw it like a movie. The background was rather generic, a wooden floor, chair leg in the foreground, warm lighting, but that’s it. But I clearly saw the little gray mouse, pausing for a second, whiskers twitching about before continuing on.
I am utterly broken as to rotating objects in my head. Took me until I was into my 40s to figure out that my brain simply doesn’t work.
Standardized tests in 70s-80s elementary, rocked out on every subject until spatial reasoning. Didn’t give up because I found it hard, really tried my little ass off, couldn’t do it, mostly guessed.
Say I get an antique shotgun and tear it down. I’m mostly mystified as to reassembly, very little online to explain old stuff like that. Have to have my young friend across the street come over and figure it out. He’s a born mechanic, hates the work. 🤷🏻♂️


Yep! Craziest thing is that we just started looking into this thing in the past 10-20 years. Proof to me that it’s no handicap, but if you took my mind’s eye away I’d feel crippled.


Wow! No, I’ve never “heard” a novel. Some writing is easy enough, like a meme where, “You just read this in Morgan Freeman’s voice.” OTOH, I didn’t “hear” it, but somehow I read it that way in my mind’s eye/ear.
I might be a 5 on the hearing scale! That’s really something to think on.


I’d call that a 5. With work a 4?
Aren’t regular colonoscopies a 50+ thing?
I liked it well enough! Bit much on the product placement, and no, it’s not much like the original books, but it hits on the murder mystery aspects of Asimov’s work.
