I remember mine! It was in regards to finding out if people went through life with varying resting frame rates for vision and I wanted to know the bell curve.

My thought was whether people see the same patterns in fan oscillations when adjusting for speeds with a light behind it. I just wondered if people saw the same patterns as me mostly.

From my discord chat, I'm usually drunk by the time it devolves this far. This was a week before arguing whether non-verbal communication counted as words. Nope. Words require language with grammar. Signs, signers suck it. Gesture? We eventually and reluctantly settled on symbol... People just need to make up new words more often rather than having to argue semantics constantly.

They've done lots of light flash experiments and recognition with millisecond speed stuff flashing, but I wonder if they're trying to compare 'frame rate' off. It sorta mentioned it in some shitty article that was hoity toity filmmaker whining and quickly devolved into false assumptions therefore...

But I wonder if they've had people draw fan patterns as it changes speeds or if it's the same for everyone.

My desk fan has led lights behind it and 3 speeds. If I turn the light on and switch speed it forms certain patterns as it revs up then hits the 'proper' speed. I wonder if people see the patterns differently as it revs up and down.
