    • yellow
    • male
    • round face, beard, brown hair, mid 20s (I think probably some internet-famous person whose name I don’t remember)
    • small plastic ball filled with air
    • a simple square table with a natural wood top and legs

    That was my first thought. But then (before reading the questions) I also imagined other similar scenarios like with a soccer ball and my desk at work, lol.

    My experience with this experiment was kind of like when they play memory flashbacks in movies, I could see the ball being pushed and falling, but with jump cuts and the timing was off. Detail-wise I’d say it was kinda like what you got from AI image generation when Dall-E first came out two-ish years ago.

    I don’t think I have the most visual imagination out there but if aphantasia is one end of the scale I’m pretty far to the other side.




  • They’re not super common. I don’t see one every single time I go grocery shopping, though I would say typically there are maybe one or two recalls posted somewhere in the store at a time. Most I’ve seen at once is four, maybe a year or so ago, but they also keep the signs up for a few weeks so they didn’t happen all at once.

    They do always have either a picture of the product or at least the name prominently placed, so you can glance at it to see whether it’s about something you might have bought.
