Don't get me started on bad design.
Heck, even reading that article's too triggering.
Strider summed it up well:
Just ask autists, they’ll tell you.
Yeah.
Just ask autists, they'll tell you.
I had a large supermarket near me that had advertising in store that was those very fast spinning led fan things. They spin very fast to make an image with the LEDs.
I had to avoid that shop for several months before I peered through the outside and saw they was gone. I assume they got complaints.
the one i saw didn't have any guard or safety rim around the spinner...
that sh** is dangerous! in all the ways!
Walking down some of the more visually busy aisles I tend to get hit by that. I suddenly feel a combination of very tired, mild headache and the sensation you get when you've got the sun in your face. It goes away once I leave the horrible place. I can't believe some people have to work there all day every day.
