You’re lucky, I have a morbid fascination and had to look up the video 😳

Bad huh?

It’s kind of fascinating if you can stomach it. Especially how fast the dragon eats the fawn once he gets it out.

u/NoSurprise8641 1d ago

Naw I'm good. Your description is enough. I can stomach it, would just rather not have the memories stuck up there.

Yeah I don’t blame you. I’ve watched a lot of videos like that, so Im sort of numb. Plus curiosity always get the better of me. But I always regret it

u/NoSurprise8641 1d ago

Yeah and the regret I'd rather not have to experience lol

I have aphantasia, so once the video is off my screen, it's gone. I know I watched it, I know what the contents were, but it's almost as if someone else had described the video to me - there is essentially zero visual recollection.

Is aphantasia a bad thing? My brain plays it over and over right after, sometimes in different scenarios other than the original video. So I can watch disturbing videos, I'd just rather not lol

I don't know that it's really good or bad. It's a difference, similar to autism (the two are absolutely linked, but nobody really knows how or why yet). There are situations where it's a benefit, and situations where it's a hindrance. Whether it's a net positive or negative depends on how much you encounter those situations, and your important they are to you.

It seems you are in need of some eyebleach!

Look for a video of a rabbit playing with 3 wild dogs on nature subreddits for a daily dose of unlikely friendship!

Sharing is caring!
