[@Shiftingreubix]

Facts bro

[@glacity]

I have experienced the Tetris Effect twice. There were a couple weeks last year where I played Tetris for a few hours every day. It got to the point that I struggled to fall asleep because, when I closed my eyes to try and sleep, I saw Tetris. I was playing the game in my mind, while I was still awake. This also happened when I'd get bored and zone out, even with my eyes open. During quarantine, I played Overwatch pretty much non-stop. Same thing happened: I could see the game when I closed my eyes. The one I remember most vividly was when I selected Ana and walked out of defenders spawn A on Hollywood, before opening my eyes thinking "wait, I'm not at my tv-" This happened a lot during that time. It is *such* an interesting phenomenon to experience.

[@portalwalker_]

Had something similar when I used to play Rainbow Six. Every time I saw one of these spherical CCTV cameras I had the urge to shoot it

[@haha_noty]

i once played some silly hexagon flipping game and those hexagons were stuck in my head for ages after i stopped

[@olteanemanuel2767]

it happened to me when i used to play fallout 4 8 hours a day. I would see it it things and dream it very often.

[@jawgboi9210]

I experience this a lot: * beat saber notes flying at my face when I close my eyes (but not in a scary way) * piano notes falling down to the bottom of my vision (osu mania) * hearing specific explosion sounds or other sound effects (the finals) * seeing a cube jumping and dodge about (geometry dash) * seeing lots of bullets I need to dodge from a birds eye view (tohou bullet hell)

[@Gmod2012lo1]

Same happened to me back in high school, but with megas XLR cartoon series. I've binge watched entire series in just two days, when I would go to sleep, all I would see or hear were robots and fighting noises. Also dreamed about the cartoon for two nights straight

[@miser2570]

@@BirdRaiserEThere arent thaaaat many stablished scientific laws compared to the number of theories and hipothesis, it may be a long video, but certainly not that long . Also be noted reality isnt composed of scientific laws, or laws in general, those are ultimately human isolated simplifications of observed interactions/correlations, that may, or may not, be as described; we literally cant know.

[@hgilbert]

do one on art styles/movements. should be easy [or perhaps not] but nevertheless fun. realism, tenebrism, abstract, conceptual, academic, figurative, cubism, dadaism, mannerism, chiaroscuro, surrealism, hyperrealism, naturalism, impressionism, primitivism, modernism, and so on. i can almost hear your voice going over each of those terms now. hahaha!

I had the tetris effect when working for an architect. I didn't just see walls anymore, I specifically saw the thickness and requirements for them all around me, knowing that this wall is 16 cm thick, this one must be made of cinder blocks and so on

[@lunaros4209]

The first part of the "certainty effect" reminds me of Pokémon Nuzlocke challenges. Do you click Scald to lose your Pokémon but get that Charizard into Aqua Jet OHKO range, or do you click Hydro Pump and have an 80% chance to knock out the Charizard but also a 20% chance to lose your entire run? Also, fun fact: "Einstellung" is a German word that translates to "setting", as in your computer settings, or "position", as in a political position.

[@emmaroni]

Yeah, just like this, competitive pokemon has a lot of risk management

[@CreamusG]

That feeling when you're not sure if you're good enough to have imposter syndrome.

[@anonymousperson3023]

That doesnt make any sense at all. Wtf are you trying to say? Imposter Syndrome is feeling like your situation is fake and that you made it there based on fraudulent reasons, not because you were good enough

[@CreamusG]

@@anonymousperson3023 It's a joke, lemme explain it. An artist who is successful that thinks they are bad have imposter syndrome. That artist could know they have imposter syndrome, but still feel that way. The joke is that you don't even know if you can call yourself successful to begin with, so you don't know if you're actually just a fraud who is fooling themselves. Which is technically a form of imposter syndrome.

[@N0FoxGiven]

This is actually accurate. A lot of people with imposter syndrome don't believe they can have imposter syndrome because they aren't good enough to qualify for imposter syndrome, or that they are just objectively bad so it doesn't apply to their work. Even just the feeling that you've rocked by on mediocre skills or aren't good enough at what you do to do something even though you did it already or just slightly differently. As someone fighting to get past this block. It sucks and can grow debilitating in the worst cases. You know that objectively you can do it. Mentally you're losing too anxiety and that constant feeling that you're just going to make a mistake and don't deserve the responsibility or work.

The probability in the first one is only the same if we assume that the number of black balls in the bag is chosen randomly as well. Otherwise we are working with limited information to calculate the probability.

[@JCel]

Saw that too! We need to know if they are iid distributed to calculate the probability. So his conclusion is right, there is missing information so we'd psychologically rather pick red if we are missing the information that black has the same probability.

One of the creepiest things ive ever heard has had to do with the existence of the uncanny valley. Since it is biologically inate in all of us that means at some point in human history there was an evolutionary reason to be afraid of something that looked human but wasnt.

[@Xthis1s4youX]

It is likely related to the period of coexistence between homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis.

The most close at hand explanation seems like it would be corpses and very ill people.

A very ill person could be contagious, better leave immediately.

The Observer Effect.

[@marvcollins7842]

Is there a psychological effect where you become overly conscious of your own psychological effects after learning about them? Because I'm experiencing this right now

[@crispoman]

That could be "The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon" (a.k.a. "The Frequency Illusion") where being newly aware of a thing can make it seem like it happens more regularly than it actually does. Of course the only thing that has changed is your own awareness of said thing. And now that I've made you aware of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, you'll undoubtedly start seeing it happen constantly.

[@Ethan-hp3pe]

[@nugget9214]

The first example is not actually the same probability, I think? In the first is always a 1/3 meanwhile in the other one there could be 19 black balls and 1 white so it's a way bigger chance or there could be 1 black ball and 19 white unless I understood something wrong 'cause it's never stated that there are 10 of each

[@Eagle3302PL]

It's black and white balls, not black or white balls, the and implies equal distribution imo.

[@trevinbeattie4888]

That’s what causes the ambiguity - insufficient information. If you _knew_ the distribution of the other 20 balls in advance, the probability of picking a black ball wouldn’t be ambiguous. And the effect is that people prefer the option to pick a red ball because that probability is known over picking a black ball where the probability is anywhere from zero to twice as good.

My Tetris effect moment was when I began having what felt like the most lucid dreams I had ever experienced about this video game that had never even been that popular.

The weird thing is that I had another dream like that half a year ago even though I hadn't played it since quarantine. The name of the game is Knack if anyone was wondering.

oh my gosh??? i’ve experienced the tetris effect before i just never knew it was a thing. during the pandemic there was a time that i would play tetris 12+ hours a day. everything around me started to devolve into tetris shapes and even the colors of the classic blocks. it was so trippy. i would stack things too and wait for the row to “disappear”. man i love tetris

Me and my brothers used to have a nonsense "language" where we would refer to things with a gibberish word off the top of our heads. I think the way we assigned names is closely related to the bouba-kiki effect, in that we would use many consonants like k,t,q,p or x when referring to hard or sharp objects.

I think there is an endless number of psychological effects and you didn't tell us every one. But these are many of the better known ones. Apart from that: Thank you for creating this nice and well done video. : )
