This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?

    It's a gentle push so the ball rolls for a second before falling off the edge of the table and bouncing away on the floor.

    Ball Color: Bright red

    Pusher Gender: Masculine

    Pusher appearance: Caucasian, Tan suit, head was out of frame

    Ball size: Tennis ball sized, but smooth with a seam around the middle

    Table appearance: A square, short end table on a white studio backdrop. Dark wood with a glossy coating.

    The important question: I can confidently say every question I already knew and was just describing what I was seeing, with the exception of maybe the pushers clothing. After reading the question my focus shifted to it and it visually resolved and I described it. Looked and felt almost the exact same way that you might not notice the details of an object in your peripheral because the focus of the scene was the ball, and then at a prompt, shifting your gaze and taking note of that object at the edge. It was framed like some kind of ball demonstration physics video.

    Why not label the ports and cables with:

    • 10Gb/s
    • 2.1Amps
    • 1080p at 60hz

    It's future proof and doesn't need a decoder manual other than basic literacy. It can be in whatever language the fucking keyboard is. If you want to be redundant but even more clear:

    • Universal Serial Bus -> (this hole right here)
    • Speed: 40Gb/s
    • Power: 2.4Amps
    • Audio/Video: 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 30Hz

    For anyone that thinks about shit plumes: Iirc last time I heard it mentioned and looked at the study, it was based on public restrooms with high pressure flushing mechanisms, not the slow flush tank dump I think most people have at home. If it sounds loud and splashy, maybe a shit plume, if it's a sploosh swirl blub blub, prolly not a shit plume. Pouring water on shit doesn't really aerosolize it, power washing it does.
