this isn’t just boomerhumor, you missed something
when i first saw this meme i thought the left one was a dark fountain from deltarune lol
I mean they do represent fiction
1 man 1 jar 😍
I disagree, books can never have as colorful worlds in my head as movies an comics. Unless I watched the movie before I read the book. Book is just slower information transfer than audiovisual, but it’s not limited to what can be visualized. In the end both is passive consumption unlike something active like videogames
Uh… Do you have aphantasia, perhaps?
No, I don’t think so, since I can visualize what I’ve seen. If I read a book after having seen the movie, the characters will look like that. I think that’s how it was with Harry Potter
Case in point: I absolutely LOVE The Lord of the Rings films. Absolute masterpieces that haven’t aged A DAY.
Tolkien’s “The Fellowship of the Ring” had me asleep in 25 pages.
es eskaliert wirklich
It’s me at different times of the day.
This but with yiff 👌

Why you gotta kink shame? Let people do their thing.
Let’s be honest, all three children are looking at tablets.
Isn’t that Shinji?
Ewww. Breeder sex
Sir that’s Peter Pan getting railed by Peter Pan.
I have aphantasia.
How does reading and watching it in your mind’s eye change anything from just watching it on a screen?
I prefer audio books because it allows me to critically think better during because I can listen and think at same time, but reading words takes more brain power.
There’s really no difference in the medium or different methods of transmission. It’s possible to imagine the same.
I am very interested in thst condition, if you want to tell about it, like you can not imagine anything really or with some limits or whatever.
I guess it’s a matter of preference, because in my mind there’s no way listening takes less brainpower than reading.
I’d equate it to baking a loaf of bread from a recipe.
If I had the recipe read to me while I was make it I could focus 100% of my attention on making the bread.
If I had to watch a video I would have to watch, pause, then complete the step. If I was reading the recipe I would have to read a step and then do it. My attention would become broken in ways.
If I knew how to make the loaf I could listen to an audiobook while making it. There’s no way I could read a book while making it.
That’s probably very different from person to person, since its different how well they can parse heard words and seen words. For me hearing is way faster, but I’m also more likely to confuse sounds than characters.
We usually think in linguistic concepts even when reading a book, one of the most difficult things to do with a student when they are learning drawing is teaching them to really see instead of thinking of linguistic traits. I have aphantasia and it is difficult for me to recall visual traits so instead i focus on visual recipes, or construction while drawing. It is difficult for me to recall faces for example but if i reduce a face to geometric shapes and proportions and do a lot of trial and error so i can approximate a face I’ve seen.
So when reading is not that I am seeing things, but i am making a conceptual map, an abstraction. Kinda like how dreams are like stories we tell ourselves to the point they might seem like intangible images. Sometimes I feel my brain relate stuff i read to things i’ve already seen, or builds some conceptual bridge between known concepts to unknown ones.
But reading is also a practice on itself different than hearing. Language has aesthetics, rhythm character. I feel i learn more about the aesthetic beauty of language by reading it on the page than hearing it on an audio book because it forces me to build that bridge between my horizon of understanding and the authors’.
This is especially true for authors that have an entirely different background than me because to understand them i need to read slower and research. Something that audio books doesn’t allow with it’s predisposed presentation.
I don’t think this is very related to phantasia… With a book you can stop and think about things (imaginatively or critically). With video your entire attention is captured and it’s quite difficult to step away from the narrative being presented. In my experience audio is somewhere in between, and I’m able to zone out on my own tangent sometimes (but this is annoying, because I miss things)
I do too, and I didn’t know it was different for others until I was an adult. When I was young they used to guilt trip me for wasting my intelligence because I hated books.
I grew up inspired by creative world building shown in movies like LOTR and in games. I read more than most people, but it’s never books.
I hate how so many people fail to consider others might not have the same perspective or needs.
I get as much enjoyment from technical books that I read for career and personal reasons as I do fiction, so I usually read non fiction as it at least has a purpose for me. I wonder how much is related to my not being able to visualize anything.
I’m just wondering why that kid’s watching a guy drop a deuce
Much worse, it looks like he’s watching 1 guy 1 cup… 🫥

Do…do you really want the context?
It’s just a simple wall outlet IT’S JUST A SIMPLE WALL OUTLET LALALALALALALALALALA
I was one of the unlucky 10,000 the last time this was posted. Let someone else have their day ruined.
Or made. You know, maybe they’re one of the lucky ones in that cohort to find out just how much they love
poop.
What did I miss? The guy pooping? And this is just boomer humor. Books are great but visual art can do the same thing for my brain.
It’s not poop. And it’s not leaving his pooper.
Oh God. Is it… Is it going in? And do I want to know what “it” is?
It’s going in. And it’s a simple, plain, glass jar.
I so hoped it would
*crrracckkk
Yes and probably not. And hell no for the third question you didn’t ask.
No
And no.
And this is just boomer humor.
you doubt me? I’m so offended :<
I did doubt you. And now that I’ve received explanation, I’M offended.
No, it’s something much worse. Just move on.
No, tell him exactly what it is.
My curiosity will get the better of me one way or another.
Tap for just the name of the reference
It’s a reference to the Shock Site video “1 man 1 jar”
don't tap this or I'll tell you what that is.
A man sits on a glass jar, and it shatters in his anus. He whimpers but does not speak, and removes pieces of bloody glass from his anus with his shaking hands.
I warned you.
Fuck man. I think I’ve heard of this but def haven’t watched it. Thanks all the same.
Is that jar guy?
One man, one jar
You can access to fantasy and fairytale story through both online and book, depend on your choice
Eh, I read plenty but definitely don’t see any of the things described.
Probably depends what book you read
Nah, I can’t picture things in my head. The visual description words are mainly just excess test I’m going to quickly forget.
I read a lot of SciFi when I was a teen. I learned not to bother seeing the movie if one was made. They always got so much wrong, and by “wrong” I mean it didn’t match my imagination.
This is why I’m currently hesitating to watch Hail Mary Project.
Does it “look” different? I only notice when they leave out important things are distort
I’m a big fan of the book. Couldn’t stand the movie.
I was really surprised because, while I have a track record of hating adaptations of books I’ve read, a lot of my friends that had read the book absolutely loved the movie. So I thought maybe it would be okay, even if I didn’t love it. But I couldn’t finish the movie at all, I didn’t even make it halfway.
Out of curiosity, have you watched and read 2001: A Space Odyssey? How did that comparison go, if you have?
I hated the book, so I am excited to see the film
Well, I’m glad I didn’t read the book then. I watched it with no expectations going in and had a great time.
The movie actually gets it mostly right. It’s not 100% true to the book, no movie can be but it’s pretty damn close.
