I think I saw some doctor on YouTube explaining that most blind people don't see pure black. They have varying levels of sight that count as being legally blind due to cataracts or something else.

Don't get me wrong, the relief they feel for that 30 seconds for their disabilities to come back still fits in with the spirit of this meme.

Let's remake it. Instead of completely reverting it after 30 seconds, do the following:

  • change timespan to 30 days
  • after each blink, you see a WinRar-esque trial window which you have to close manually by touching your butthole with bare fingers.

Do they even still charge for WinRAR?

You're a monster. The pain of never having had is trivial, the pain of getting a taste and then never again, that's horrible.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

Imagine, you're washing your hands after a poop, suddenly you're able to see yourself in the mirror, it only lasts 30 seconds before you go blind again, but for the rest of your life you know... You're one ugly motherfucker.

It wouldn't give them a taste of anything though it would just be the equivalent of flashbanging them.

Oh so that's what happened to Blinkin in Robin Hood Men In Tights

[–] izax@pawb.social 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I didn't say Abe Lincoln I said Hey Blinkin

walking through a fish market

"Ah! The local brothel. Hello, ladies!"

I heard a blind person recently say on a radio program that the idea that blind people feel deprived and crave the ability to see is a weird concept dreamed up by seeing people.

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

First time I realised this was when Lilly says "I feel the same about seeing as you do about your inability to hear two people whispering across the room" in Katawa shoujo.

Man that was was wonderful VN.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Bluntly, like with cochlear implants, they wouldn't likely be able to understand what is happening in those 30s. So it would very likely just disorient most of them.

The only people that would actually suffer are those that could see, and have the ability to understand what they see, that lost their vision later in life. They would get the implied effect of what seems to be intended here.

[–] GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

Honestly like 6 hours would be way more cruel.

#I don't know what to express.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

give all blind people sight but only while they're blinking

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Be far more cruel to give all blind people eyesight for 3 years.

Just enough time to get used to it, enjoy it, maybe get a drivers license or start a career.

Then one day, it goes away again without explanation.

[–] mack7400@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, 30 seconds would just make most blind people barf and shut their eyes until it went away, since their brains haven't learned to properly process the video.
