You don't care to know what the sewage of tasted like in London on Sunday, the 16th of July 1882? You don't burn with desire to learn what it feels like to get your viscera torn out by a hungry lion?

You’d know exactly what it looks and smells like too, and what it’d feel like on your tongue. Depends on how vivid your imagination is. I can’t visualise things, but when people ask me to “visualise an apple” I can feel the waxy exterior, the crispness (or gumminess of an old apple), the slightly floral scent before you bite into it, what it sounds like, etc. Can’t fucking visualise it to save my life though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] PopMyCop@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I can imagine sensation if I want, but as a 'for instance,' I know I don't like some foods because of certain sensations, but don't have to perceive them when I remember why. I can't imagine that most people aren't the same, or we'd have a lot more people gagging randomly as they walk around. Sure, some people will be slightly perturbed if you mention certain things, like fecal matter, horrible farts, the feeling of biting down on aluminum.... but those perturbations pass in moments. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] dojan@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Interesting!
