What color was the ball?

What did the person that pushed the ball look like?

What size was the ball?

What about the table, what shape was it? What was it made of?

Did you already know, or did you have to choose a color/size, etc. after being asked these questions?

This is #aphantasia test. Would be super interested in your answers!

@blinry "it depends" … the ball was kinda well-defined (red, smooth surface, roughly tennis-ball size, mid-level specular surface, plastic-y), but "someone" was just "a person" (not really visual, more like a variable that was just declared)

After asking the ball stayed pretty much the same and the somewhat … didn't change much, the vagueness got translated into a blurry undefined roughly person-ish-shaped grey something.

The table … was just a fictional plane. (I didn't really think about it until now. It just evolved into a "likely wooden" plate of unknown dimensions.)

Pretty fun to think about what our brains do when facing such a situation :D
