One man

Thank you. I was having trouble identifying the shadow of the tv.
I never thought I'd be thanked for mentioning 1 man 1 jar...
Lol you're welcome.

Star Trek is on the softer side of science fiction. It's just a sitcom in space. When you watch most series based on books (i.e The expanse), major changes need to be made because it doesn't translate well to the screen.
Using the expanse as an example, the spacers were supposed to be deformed by our standards. They eliminated all the hard sci-fi elements of their appearance. If a book involves a realistic alien civilization, an adaptation is rarely made
Being difficult to adapt does not make a book good.
Calling Star Trek a sitcom just demonstrates a lack of media literacy that makes this conversation pointless.

I can't believe no one in the comments has told you yet. I want to tell you because I just learned about it last week! It's horrible! A man in Russia, only legs & feet in the camera frame, squatted over an empty glass jelly jar with the lid on it, tons of lubrication, and he kept going until the entire jar was fully inserted in his rectum.
Then you can hear an explosion sound. But it was an implosion sound. It was the sound of the jar being crushed & glass shattered inside of him. The man didn't make a sound. Complete stoic silence which lends more creepiness to the video.
Then we see tons of blood dripping out of him, down his legs, all over the floor. The man starts manually digging glass chunks out of his asshole. That's all I remember. I never actually watched the video myself but that's the description.
Follow up: he never went to the doctor for this injury because he says he didn't want to deal with the embarrassment. He had some scarring. He says he healed within a couple weeks. He says he has no regrets. He makes tons of fringe kink videos, this was apparently nothing unusual for him. But he waited until the event was far enough in the past before he posted the video online, over a year after it happened. It happened in August a few years ago. He posted it in December a year and a half later.
I knew it was going to be bad, why did I read it anyway?

Yeah, it was like a tragic accident. The theory was solid. A circle is the strongest shape for holding force like that. And IIRC he just sort of lost his balance and the corner touched the ground and that was it. Trooper of a guy to pull most of it out before going to the hospital.
How do I even find this video anymore? Do the kids today even use limewire? It occurs to me, I've seen worse now.
But he never even went to the hospital!

I dont know if boomers know a man shoved an entire glass jar up his ass.

But he never even went to the hospital!
How do you know this?

Because it was a detail included in the vice dot com(?) article I read, which I repeated from memory in everything I wrote up there.

For me I rarely actively try to visualize what's going on. Perhaps you haven't found something that really sparks your interest in reading, I've only started reading a couple of years back.
Although, of course, I may be completely wrong and visualizing is a big part of reading that I simply haven't realized
From what I understand is that people can read without subvocalizing because their brain can just simply pick up the meaning of groups of words together.
I cannot read without subvocalizing. Like I can skim and read only words that stand out to me and I'd get the gist of it. But to full comprehend everything I'd basically have to subvocalize every word.
To me there's no difference between reading a chemistry text book or a romance novel. Just words I have to read to comprehend.
I'm sure I'd enjoy reading some things more than others. Like a story with a compelling plot and not a lot of visual word fluff.
But reading pages and pages of words just so I can know what happens next in the story when a simple sentence would suffice doesn't sound enjoyable to me.
Kind of like how instead of reading the book you could read the cliff notes. At best I'm only going to remember the cliff note facts after reading the book. "How the author tells the story" is lost on me because I'd rather them just get to the point. All the word fluff of setting up a scene are just facts that I'm not going to commit to memory.

As a person with aphantasia, I've enjoyed it since I was a child. But my parents read to me every night before bed for a long time, and so my hunch is that I latched onto it because of that positive association.
For me. Reading something myself vs. Having someone read to me are completely different.
I enjoy audio books way more than reading myself because it doesn't pull as much of my focus.
When I read, I have to read, understand, process.
When I hear it, it's just understand and process.
It would be the equivalent of having to read subtitles for an in person conversation rather than hearing their voice.
I can listen and process. I cannot process as well while reading because I'm focused on processing words
