Humans can't consent to reading.

Trying looking at a sign or a sentence directly without reading it.

If I am fluent with the langauge and alphabet I kinda just start reading the words automatically.

I can't tell myself to not read.

How you felt after being unable to read top one on mobile and clicking to zoom in.

ceenote@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 354d (4 replies)

Sometime during my processing of the bottom 3, I realized I shouldn't even look at the top line. I still haven't read it.

You said some shit about me, didn't you?

Nope, I read the top second cause I thought I should start from the top

That's why advertising is harassment

You are in luck, as your eyes get older they add their own blur effect.

Is this a good opportunity to introduce everyone to my obsession with not being able to consent to have public advertisements or sudden, unannounced advertisements hijack my brain from whatever i was trying to think?

wizbiz@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 354d

Public advertising shouldn't be legal

It's even harder to ignore people who are talking to you, or are just talking loudly in general.

You underestimated my power

Decq@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 354d

I think just like the reading it's very different per person. I'm great at zoning out and not listening to people. Intentionally or not.

Speak for yourself, person who doesn't require glasses.

That's why we invented spoiler tags

I have seen plenty of signs and things I didn't actually read. That's how I end up missing exits on the freeway. 🤷‍♂️

givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 354d (1 reply)

Some people can, some people can't.

Don't assume what you do is normal for anyone else.

candyman337@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 354d

Yeah if I try to read without focusing I mix up words often, I should probably get tested for dyslexia lol

memfree@piefed.social · 3 pts · 354d

Don't do this while driving, but if you are a passenger in a car, focus on the traffic, the car in front of you, but NOT the license plate. You generally can't read it. You get a sense that there's a 'G' in there, but can't figure it out until you focus on the plate. The brain is funny that way.
