I sort chips and waffle fries by size (or broken) and eat the smallest ones first, saving the big unbroken ones for last.

I do waffle fries one row at a time.

Similar - i take it the bottom, smear half the frosting on it, and make two cupcakes.

Wait for a loud part of the movie and then cough while you open it.

Pulls out tape measure…

I asked a couple of months ago and it was about 60m/40f, and age landed with over half being 30-55.

I’ve leaned to put myself to sleep by concentrating really hard on relaxing and blocking out other thoughts. I take 5 breaths focused on 'am i comfortable? - good position, pillow just right, temp ok; then i take 3 breaths focused on relaxing each body part starting with my foot- feeling it sink into the bed, working hard to not let other thoughts creep in. I’ve never made it to my head.

I didn’t realize there was a time limit on the non-payout. That’s good to know. Friend of a friend just took his life and I’ve been worried about the kids. Hopefully they will be taken care of.

We would lose a lot of art and creativity, customer service at every company would be empty, everyone would believe they’re too smart to work basic service jobs so infrastructure would collapse. Lots of high IQers have pretty low motivation, especially for things outside their specific interests, so I think we would have very fast cars and really good recreational drugs. There are some who believe that the increase in autism comes from similarly minded people procreating, so that could be an issue.

Some Spanish and a little Italian, but I don’t use it enough, so I still normally still think in English and then translate. I don’t really know how to describe what that feels like but I don’t think it’s auditory. Maybe there is a flash of a visual memory of the written words? Brains are so weird! This all started for me a few weeks ago when a co-worker was talking about something and said, “… your inner voice.” I got irritated because I thought she had just told me to use my indoor voice and the conversation went on around our office about who does and doesn’t have an inner voice. Since then I’ve been asking everyone if they hear a voice or see pictures. It’s really interesting how some people have one or the other or none or both. I think the 3 to 5% no-image thing is very under reported.

Is that how you write songs - by hearing then in your head first? I’ve wondered how musicians, artists, etc. produce art. I’ve started asking people if they have voice or images and most have the same reaction of shock that other people do or don’t.

I can think words or practice a speech in my head, but i don’t see or hear anything. Like how when you’re counting things, you don’t see or hear numbers in your head, you just count. I don’t know. I just learned in the last few weeks that some people do see and hear stuff.

I don’t know. The thought is just there. Like if you think about world war 2, you don’t see it or hear it…you just ponder the causes, casualties, etc.

Oh, with a song. I dunno, i just think of the words and try to get the verses right and feel like i want to sing it. What’s it like when you get a song stuck?

I can’t see things in my head, but i love Tetris and I’m excellent at fitting a lot of suitcases in the trunk of a car.

Opposite for me - I don’t understand how people have sounds and pictures inside their heads.

I lost my mom recently and it makes me sad that i can’t see her in my head. I ‘meet’ the same people repeatedly. I’m worried that i won’t recognize my family one day.

I don’t know. I just think about the idea of it i guess? If i want to build a flower bed and I need to know the area, I just measure and multiply.

Reorder them?

It’s pretty wild how we never think about other people having different methods of thought. When i learned that some people can hear in their heads i googled a bit and found some interesting articles about thinking in words, pictures, and patterns. There’s a Temple Grandin book about it - haven’t read it yet.
