Super amazing, what does it sounds like? I 100% cannot do this or even imagine what it's like. People think it's unusual that I can deeply "feel" other people and truly "see" objects in front of me in 3D space. If I listen to music I get intense graphics/movies/colours. I'm also dyslexic so I can/do strongly believe in neurodiversity.
It's not always interpolating the sounds that would actually occur. Yes, a hammer hitting something will produce the relevant sound in my head, but it can be quite a bit more abstract than that.
Imagine someone dancing in an animated gif. Each motion has a particular "swoosh" or "pop" or "bang" to it. It's kind of weird to describe. As the gif replaces, the same sounds play over and over. I couldn't turn it off if I wanted to.
Take this for example: https://i.imgur.com/eVeYyCq.gifv. In real life I imagine I would hear the woman grunting or growling as she tried to lift the tire. But in my head I can only hear the motion of her legs as they shift to accomodate the weight, making sort of a "kathoomp thoomp thoomp" each time her feet touch the ground.
Makes me think of how a musical score can capture the energy of a scene so well; I'll bet those musicians can probably "hear" the scene without even trying.
That is the most evil Continue button dark pattern I have ever seen on a supposedly high-quality site. Shame on Reddit.
Clicking the link shows a modal/pop-over pitching the Reddit app. Below the app link is a big Continue button, below that is a tiny link in light gray text in brackets saying ~"Continue to mobile site". Every indication is that the Continue button will load either the desktop site or the mobile site, but no, it loads the Play store.
Internally it sounds like an extremely flat and diminished version of how I imagine the "real" sound". Like if I'm watching a looping GIF of an explosion, I can "hear" an imagined sound over and over.
