Kyle happened upon quite the startling discovery, when he realized that not everyone has an internal dialogue process. Some folks in fact have non-verbal thoughts, and need to consciously verbalize them. Yes, some folks need to talk out loud at the mirror to have a pep talk with themselves. Trippy, for some. Kyle's day was apparently all shook up, and the world as he saw it, had changed.

This guy's seemingly innocent discovery about how our brains work when it comes to the "internal monologue" process ended up inspiring quite the ripple effect. People were shook. To learn that other people in the world are able to have an internal narrative, while others aren't, was too much for some folks to fathom.
Weird perspective can make your brain do some weird things, like giving people animal faces, making inanimate objects accidentally dirty, and making giant birds. Your brain is just doing its best to deal with what your eyes throw at it, so don't blame it too hard when your eyes are confounded by strange perspective.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their most effective psychological tricks. The brain is a curious device, and it's remarkable just how easy it can be to press its buttons in your favor, with the right words/actions. Apparently an effective way to befriend people is to ask them for a favor. How about that!
Some people have an underdeveloped sense of self awareness compounded by the belief that they're the smartest people on the planet. They'll brag about the music they listen to, the movies they watch, claim to be smarter than Isaac Newton and complain that they wish they were dumber so they could relate to "normal stupid people." They're not a lot of fun to be around, and they generally make the internet a worse place. So here are some self-titled geniuses who smeared the internet with their cringeworthy bragging.
Tumblr gets in real deep sometimes. Sure, a lot of it is just memes and thought exercises, but some threads get into stuff like the historical concept of the color purple in rhyming fashion, or how modern cats became domesticated. So anyway, here's why magenta is a made up color based on your brain just doing its best.
Your brain looks for context cues, and some places and times just don't have enough of them for you to know how to act. Kinda makes sense. Some other explanations would be that you don't hang out at bowling alleys a lot, have social anxiety or just dislike creepy-ass abandoned buildings. That said, the concept of liminal spaces are interesting. Tumblr can be a rabbit hole, full of fun history and imaginative threads on aliens being fought off by bears.
The internet is brimming with self-important mind titans who think their intellect is all that and a bag of potato chips. You'll find them lurking in comment sections and on dating sites, just waiting to steer the conversation toward themselves in order to lie about their supposed IQs. Real great group. Anyway here's a whopping dollop of undeserved ego.
While social media has given the world amazing things like the ability to connect with friends and family, and share hilarious memes, there's others who use it for more selfish purposes. These folks are the ones who really know how to clear a room with their pomposity, self-veneration, and general sense of self-importance. These people who think they're just so god damn smart that you can't even begin to understand the pillar of intellect on which they sit. For more of these folks, check out these titans of knowledge.
Nothing is exactly as it seems. Stuff blending into other stuff, stuff looking out of proportion, and other stuff that just seems...wrong. Navigating the off-ness, is like push-ups for your eyes. If you wanna see more pics of skewed perspective, then check these out.
Here's a menagerie of strange pictures brought to life by the manipulation of perspective. We've got impossibly big hands, 3D artwork, crazy designs and warped-looking pets. So warm up your brain muscles to take a peak at these double-take-tastic real life optical illusions.
Not many images have the kind of mind-stopping power as a brain-confounding image of skewed perspective. These real-life optical illusions will give your eyes a workout they didn't ask for. And if you want to see more misleading images to make you double-take, then check these out.
Nobody's perfect. If you haven't done it already, it's pretty likely you're gonna try to open your front door with your car keys or tell your boss you love them. You're not alone. Everyone has those moments where your brain goes on autopilot. Even Tumblr had a discussion about it.
At its best, a comments section is a place for people to discuss new ideas, share interesting stories, and tell each other jokes. At its worst, it kinda looks something like this. Egotistical braggarts tearing each other down for no reason other than to make themselves feel something. Boy it happens a lot.
