  1. Ich muss grad mal kurz diesen Gedanken teilen, bevor ich ihn wieder vergesse:

    Möglicherweise mag ich bunte Tattoos auch deshalb so, weil sie mir helfen, Menschen wiederzuerkennen. 🤔

  2. The wild thing is that while it is obviously different, I still can’t really identify what changed besides facial hair (thanks laser!), my main hair being a bit more orderly, and my cheeks being less full because of weightloss…

    (Yes, I’m somewhat
    #faceblind.)

  3. I started watching *Mythic Quest* and I just got to S01E05 and I was a bit confused why they suddenly switched to a prequel episode.

    Then I looked it up on the wiki and found out that my face blindness apparently cannot tell the difference between different white men with beards. Jake Johnson and Rob McElhenney are, in fact, different people. Who'd have thought. I thought the only difference was that he grew his beard out more along with his ego.

  4. Holy sh*t, I actually found it via facecheck.id! It's #EugenioMartín's El precio de un hombre: The Bounty Killer aka El precio de un hombre aka The Ugly Ones (1966) and it points right to @spaghettiwesterndb's homepage! spaghetti-western.net/index.ph

    I'm so #faceblind

  5. I know Sumner means this as an insult but I think it’s hilarious that honeybees are face-blind

  7. @BZBrainz @actuallyautistic I've not been formally diagnosed with prosopagnosia, but I''ve definitely got it going on. I've cluelessly walked past people I've known for 20 years on the street more than once.#faceblind #faceblindness #prosopagnosia

  8. @BZBrainz @actuallyautistic
    👋 I'm #FaceBlind too. I can still see features and expressions, but have no memory for them. I am not sure I've hurt anyone's feelings in a while, mostly it's just a huge anxiety that I *will*.

  9. This is actually the second time I tested myself for #FaceBlindness - the first time was 11 years ago and I barely beat 50% last time. I managed 61% this time but I guessed so much I really wonder if I didn't get lucky a few times.

    I think I did alright with the part of the test where they only presented me with one face to remember. It was the six faces later where I Just could not remember who I had seen. Anyone else test as poorly on this?

  10. CW: Autistic stuff

    Went to the shops. Was sure I heard my neighbour talking to her kids. But, like most autistic people, I'm not great at recognising faces out of their usual context, and it didn't look like her, so I didn't say hi.

    (Although I recognise voices okay, I guess.)

    Now I've just seen her walking into her house and it's definitely her, so I feel deeply embarrassed, she must be wondering why I refused to say hi.

    I'm hopeless.

  11. As a moderately #faceblind person, I love Mastodon’s culture of alt-texting. I spent so much time on Twitter trying to figure out who the people were in the photos everyone was talking about. #prosopagnosia

  12. CW: Face blind

    @Kim_Justice is sat behind me and I didn't recognise her until she spoke to somebody. That's a prime example of how face blindness works. I've seen her face hundreds of times but it's the voice I can pick out of a crowd. #CrashLive #faceblind

  13. CW: weird (the al yankovic story) minor spoiler

    watching that weird al "biopic" and... there's a bit where weird al has a cameo role in a scene and. well, i'm so faceblind that it took me like 45 seconds to notice. my wife _said something_ well before i even realized.
