Be far more cruel to give all blind people eyesight for 3 years.
Just enough time to get used to it, enjoy it, maybe get a drivers license or start a career.
Then one day, it goes away again without explanation.
Yeah, 30 seconds would just make most blind people barf and shut their eyes until it went away, since their brains haven't learned to properly process the video.
Installing the codecs definitely take longer than 30s
Probably don't have hardware decoding configured yet either.
I think that’s probably a really good analogy, from what I’ve learned about eye sight.
Also enough time for equipments and resources get thrown out.
I think I saw some doctor on YouTube explaining that most blind people don't see pure black. They have varying levels of sight that count as being legally blind due to cataracts or something else.
Don't get me wrong, the relief they feel for that 30 seconds for their disabilities to come back still fits in with the spirit of this meme.
This is probably more aimed towards the people that are born or go completely blind later in life
I don't know the breakdown of the statistics, but yeah there are different kinds and levels of blindness. Blindness can be due to physical damage to the lense, retina, optic nerve, or the visual processing area of the brain. It can be due to clouded lenses like cataracts. It can be due to malformations of the retina, non-functioning cones/rods, or shape of the lens or eyeball itself. Some of those lead to total blindness, but lead to varying degrees of vision impairment, up to and including legal blindness. Some of those can be corrected for with glasses, contacts, surgery or even electronic neural interfaces in some cases. Some are just permanent and can't be improved.
The kind of blindness I find most interesting is when the eyes and optic nerve function normally, but the party of the brain that processes vision just doesn't function for various reason, but the part of the brain that processes spatial awareness does still function. Those people have no sight at all, but they are still able to perceive objects and space around them and, for example, avoid obstacles when walking, despite but being able to see the obstacles in a visual sense.
Good meme. Everybody replying how you could make this more cruel without realising it wouldn't make it more funny
It can be fun to be creative
Let's remake it. Instead of completely reverting it after 30 seconds, do the following:
That last one is just what everyone already has to deal with, though.Right? ...right? Guys?
I have a fix. Cut off the tip of one of your fingers and stick it up your ass. Now the WinRar-esque trial window will not show up anymore. Either that or switch to 7z (which is better anyways) but I know you mother fuckers follow bill gates to closely to ever even think of using a program that is free, open source, faster, and just over all better.
Brings a new meaning to “cracked winrar”
You're a monster. The pain of never having had is trivial, the pain of getting a taste and then never again, that's horrible.
Imagine, you're washing your hands after a poop, suddenly you're able to see yourself in the mirror, it only lasts 30 seconds before you go blind again, but for the rest of your life you know... You're one ugly motherfucker.
It wouldn't give them a taste of anything though it would just be the equivalent of flashbanging them.
Make it worse by having it randomly return occasionally.
Have a timer count down in their vision. Like 100 hrs. They close their eyes and the timer pauses. They have vision for 100 hours, that's it. Choose how to use it.
Nah 10 hours for free and then turn it into a subscription service. Eyeshittification!
Oh so that's what happened to Blinkin in Robin Hood Men In Tights
I didn't say Abe Lincoln I said Hey Blinkin
"what's your name?"
"achoo"
"a jew? Here?"
walking through a fish market
"Ah! The local brothel. Hello, ladies!"
While they are sleeping . . .
No, no. They need to be awake to see what they are missing only to just lose it again.
Sleeping, wake up, eye sight, boom gone, nooooooo, all I saw was dark!
I heard a blind person recently say on a radio program that the idea that blind people feel deprived and crave the ability to see is a weird concept dreamed up by seeing people.
I've heard this position from several disability advocates.
Was this person born blind? I feel like a person with a degenerative disease might think differently.
I knew a girl in a wheelchair who lost the ability to walk in a car accident. She definitely wanted to walk again.
Seems a little strawman-ish. "Feel deprived and crave the ability to see" is a hyberbole way to say that "blind people would rather have the ability to see". An assumption that would be safe to make for anyone with a disability, despite if they have learned to have a good life with it.
Give all blind people sight, but only while they are looking at a photo of Margaret Thatcher naked.
Mfw when I fell asleep during the 30 seconds of sight as a blind man.
Bluntly, like with cochlear implants, they wouldn't likely be able to understand what is happening in those 30s. So it would very likely just disorient most of them.
The only people that would actually suffer are those that could see, and have the ability to understand what they see, that lost their vision later in life. They would get the implied effect of what seems to be intended here.
Honestly like 6 hours would be way more cruel.
For maximum suffering you want the end of the "trial" to be after a random period: the anxiety really adds quite the extra punch.
That's so terrible.
give all blind people sight but only while they're blinking
