ever since i first learnt about aphantasia vs hyperphantasia, i've been really curious about it
i've wanted to pry further into all the various ways in which people experience their inner-worlds; how their senses feel, how these differences affect loving, learning, sleeping, etc. it's not a topic that was brought up to me within a real interaction, nor was it something i questioned on my own, and it makes me think about just how many other idiosyncrasies have the potential to be hugely impactful, but often overlooked or under noticed. the unspoken gaps between human personalities. my family & friends haven't been that interested in discussing it in detail, probably because i'm not pushy enough (or it's boring), so i'm dropping these questions here out of curiosity

>do you see images in your head? pictures, smells, sounds? can you manipulate the imagery, conjure things at will, distract yourself? is it subtle, or a strong landscape of colours and forms?
>do you literally see shapes when you close your eyes, as if they're there but still not really, or is it simply black behind the eyelids, but your mind remains envisioning things?
>if you don't see images (aphantasia), do you still dream?
>can you re-experience memories in high detail, almost as if you're reliving the moment?
>do you see things when you read?
>do you have one or two senses, but not others? fe you can hear things, but not see or touch?
>do you have an internal monologue? constantly, infrequently? or do you have to force it? is it audible, or just vaguely there
>have you heard of this topic before, or questioned it on your own?
>if you have hyperphantasia, do you like it?

4chan sucks nowadays, the captchas are a pain in the ass and the people are insufferable as shit.
And i wont verify my email since i dont trust them after the epstein shit.

Would Fujoshi's be accepted in a Crystal Cafe society?

Let's talk about our experiences with AI and chatbots

I don't have much experience besides messing around with Cleverbot as a kid. I've been hearing a bit about Replika and it seems interesting, I wanna hear some personal experiences first though.
I've seen some people "dating" their AI as a virtual gf or bf. Any miners ever done this?
If my crush rejects me this week I think I might give up on real men and just get an AI bf.

RIP, her and Jane Goodall so close together feels unreal

Not sure if this is the right board for this but have you ever been to the psych ward? What are your stories/experiences?
I went three times. In 2015 there was this one girl who constantly broke down over any little thing, one girl who cut herself with pencils and was very homicidal. Some gay dude with a bad temper. One time the girl with the anger issues and another girl were beefing so one girl was moved to the boys side and the other girl literally leaned over the desk to get to her. Apparently there was a lot of sexual shit going on between patients, even two dudes.

I don't remember much about my second time.

Third time in 2021 there was this old creepy guy who'd harass women and none of the staff would do anything, I think he was schizo too, at one point another guy got sick of it and fought him. There was one guy who was very nice but I found out he had charges for beating his wife.
