Rotating an apple was easy.
Then I tried putting a face on it. That didn’t work.
On a whim I searched for an image of an apple with a face on it, found one, and found it easy to rotate that imaginary apple and face.
I can imagine drawing a face on an apple, but find it harder to keep it in my brain if I rotate it.
I wonder if the brain has an easier time taking a “snapshot” of something you’ve taken in from eyesight and manipulating it rather than generating an internal image from scratch and holding that image while working with it.
The part where you made a serious comment about a completely ridiculous fictional premise that was never intended to be serious.

RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct6·3 days agoThere’s very few things more galling than yourself playing by the rules, putting in the time and effort to have some kind of social contract, only to have someone flippantly disregard said rules and contract and to benefit from it. Doesn’t matter if it’s someone cutting in line or pillaging the highest office in the land for their own gain.

RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?12·6 days agoUnexpectedly? I’m not sure. But for under $6 I got a secondhand Faberware medium and large pot. We have a glass cooktop and our current pots tend to “bow” on the bottom when heated so they don’t sit flat. Was fine when we had a gas cooktop, but now the bow makes a hotspot in the center on the flat glass. The old Faberware pots sit perfectly flat. Awesome.

Book wasted time with unnecessary callback lists, obscure shows, and a hero that was kindof a jerk. The movie was fun - not deep or anything, it didn’t waste time though.

RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The people who voted for Zohran Mamdani are also taxpayers.English201·12 days agoWe’re the taxpayers that want “free” health care while simultaneously paying taxes. The Right somehow thinks we’re too stupid to know we pay taxes that makes these things happen. Heck…we want people to have nice things.
Meanwhile the Right doesn’t want to pay taxes yet somehow expects to get social services like paved roads or safe drinking water. I’d mention schools or health care but the republicans clearly DGAF about those things.
Yeah. Just finishing up Andor. I can’t tell what Disney’s motives were when they allowed the story to proceed this way. They all but literally spelled out how Fox, Trump, and his public facing sycophants are acting. So kinda ballsy timing for the subject matter. All the same, Disney is another notorious corporation that could easily benefit from trump’s policies. Are they just being edgy? Hedging their bets?
That and a maga hat and I’d have a complete outfit.
Wait a few more decades. You’ll get there again.
