    That little image with the apple.

    I thought people meant it figuratively when they said they could visualize something. That image showed me most definitely not.

      Yes, so many figures of speech like “life flashing in front of your eyes”. Heck, even “can you picture it” or “can’t unsee”.

      When I realized, they were not completely metaphorical, my mind was blown 🤯

        Oh God, I didn’t even think about ”can’t unsee" being literal. That was a mind fuck for me just now

          I now have what Germans refer to as “Schadenfreude” every time someone says that. :>

        so picture this… or imagine…

        these phrases irritate me.
