You’re a monster. The pain of never having had is trivial, the pain of getting a taste and then never again, that’s horrible.
Make it worse by having it randomly return occasionally.
Have a timer count down in their vision. Like 100 hrs. They close their eyes and the timer pauses. They have vision for 100 hours, that’s it. Choose how to use it.
Nah 10 hours for free and then turn it into a subscription service. Eyeshittification!
They had a movie based off that, instead of money you paid with time, hit zero and you expire
It wouldn’t give them a taste of anything though it would just be the equivalent of flashbanging them.
Imagine, you’re washing your hands after a poop, suddenly you’re able to see yourself in the mirror, it only lasts 30 seconds before you go blind again, but for the rest of your life you know… You’re one ugly motherfucker.
While they are sleeping . . .
No, no. They need to be awake to see what they are missing only to just lose it again.
Sleeping, wake up, eye sight, boom gone, nooooooo, all I saw was dark!
I think I saw some doctor on YouTube explaining that most blind people don’t see pure black. They have varying levels of sight that count as being legally blind due to cataracts or something else.
Don’t get me wrong, the relief they feel for that 30 seconds for their disabilities to come back still fits in with the spirit of this meme.
This is probably more aimed towards the people that are born or go completely blind later in life
I don’t know the breakdown of the statistics, but yeah there are different kinds and levels of blindness. Blindness can be due to physical damage to the lense, retina, optic nerve, or the visual processing area of the brain. It can be due to clouded lenses like cataracts. It can be due to malformations of the retina, non-functioning cones/rods, or shape of the lens or eyeball itself. Some of those lead to total blindness, but lead to varying degrees of vision impairment, up to and including legal blindness. Some of those can be corrected for with glasses, contacts, surgery or even electronic neural interfaces in some cases. Some are just permanent and can’t be improved.
The kind of blindness I find most interesting is when the eyes and optic nerve function normally, but the party of the brain that processes vision just doesn’t function for various reason, but the part of the brain that processes spatial awareness does still function. Those people have no sight at all, but they are still able to perceive objects and space around them and, for example, avoid obstacles when walking, despite but being able to see the obstacles in a visual sense.
Honestly like 6 hours would be way more cruel.
Everyone can hear from one dead loved one, but they can only describe the pain they felt while dying.
You get 24 hours with the one individual who would be the absolute best romantic match for you. Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. It ends just before you put it in.
Jokes on you, I’d never find the courage anyway, so we’d live happily ever after
No courage necessary. The connection is so natural that everything just flows organically. It feels like mind reading.
24 hours and you don’t exchange contact info?
It’s a Quantum Leap-type deal.
Be far more cruel to give all blind people eyesight for 3 years.
Just enough time to get used to it, enjoy it, maybe get a drivers license or start a career.
Then one day, it goes away again without explanation.
Also enough time for equipments and resources get thrown out.
Yeah, 30 seconds would just make most blind people barf and shut their eyes until it went away, since their brains haven’t learned to properly process the video.
Installing the codecs definitely take longer than 30s
Probably don’t have hardware decoding configured yet either.
I think that’s probably a really good analogy, from what I’ve learned about eye sight.
But most blind people haven’t been blind for ever, most slowly lost their vision to my knowledge.
Bro what a waste of a wish haah
If it were an evil genie it would include you as well because you didn’t specify what type of “blindness” you were talking about, so the genie would make you super aware of everything you are not aware of, or blind, and if you don’t go mad from the Revelation, you’d probably go on living, knowing that there is a reality beyond the one you perceive daily, and fall in utter despair. Your only relief would be that you are not alone now, as the rest of humanity shares your same fate.
good thing i have two more wishes, and that the dumb genie just granted me all the knowledge and enlightenment i need to avoid having them backfire
You’ve forgotten it all. Only a vague shadow remains, an awareness it’s out there, but permanently closed off to you. Enough for lifelong dissatisfaction, but not enough to gain real useful insight.
Oh, so business as usual in my real life, then.
i was granted the wisdom to wish quickly within the 30 seconds
True. Smart.

For maximum suffering you want the end of the “trial” to be after a random period: the anxiety really adds quite the extra punch.
Better not drive or do anything precarious.
It would feel random to them. It’s not as if they know in advance what is going to happen. They’d still be freaking out trying to get a handle on it when it went away.
Seeing other people lose it, one after the other at unpredictable times, is what would really screw up the ones who still had it.
Humans are really bad at dealing with expected events which come at unpredictable times, both bad things and good things - the former can induce constant fear and anxiety and is apparently used in torture, whilst the later (for example the receiving of “premiums” at random intervals) can induce gambling addiction.
(I wasn’t clear before that it’s after a random period different per individual. Sorry to any would be torturer).
I heard a blind person recently say on a radio program that the idea that blind people feel deprived and crave the ability to see is a weird concept dreamed up by seeing people.
Good meme. Everybody replying how you could make this more cruel without realising it wouldn’t make it more funny
It can be fun to be creative
Let’s remake it. Instead of completely reverting it after 30 seconds, do the following:
- change timespan to 30 days
- after each blink, you see a WinRar-esque trial window which you have to close manually by touching your butthole with bare fingers.
That last one is just what everyone already has to deal with, though.Right? …right? Guys?
I have a fix. Cut off the tip of one of your fingers and stick it up your ass. Now the WinRar-esque trial window will not show up anymore. Either that or switch to 7z (which is better anyways) but I know you mother fuckers follow bill gates to closely to ever even think of using a program that is free, open source, faster, and just over all better.
Brings a new meaning to “cracked winrar”
Way ahead of you! Did that 5 years ago! Still get a notification through my colon that my finger is out of date and needs to be updated now and then, but I just consider that a bonus 🤷
Had me in the first half there. But Bill Gates didn’t write winrar and 7zip works just fine on windows, so I’m not sure what that whole rant was about.
They had you in the half that began with advising me to cut off one of my fingertips? 🤔
Sure, that part made sense given the context. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.
I know I do, had a hemorrhoid bust back there, now it itches unless I use a bidet which I don’t have
Do they even still charge for WinRAR?
Oh so that’s what happened to Blinkin in Robin Hood Men In Tights
I didn’t say Abe Lincoln I said Hey Blinkin
walking through a fish market
“Ah! The local brothel. Hello, ladies!”
“what’s your name?”
“achoo”
“a jew? Here?”
Wait, what if we’re all blind and seeing is just momentarily gaining vision inbetween blinks
Fuckkk.
What if you just - - forgot - - how to see?
You joke, but that’s kindof a thing.
The occipital lobe is responsible for us being able to proccess and turn the info our eyes gather into what we see. Severely damaging is can make us be unable to process the info our eyes collect and be effectively blind. Even though there is nothing wrong with our eyes.
You can have a stroke in your occipital lobe and just wake up blind. Or get hit in the back of your head and lose your vision.
Basicly forget how to see.
Commenting here so I can remember not to come back and read this when I’m sober.
I am sober and I regret reading above comment
Commenting here so I can remember to come back and read this when I am good and high.
And while half of them would be sleeping
That would be scary because they sleep by hanging upside down
I can’t be bothered to do the math on that, but I feel like it is closer to a third than a half.
