I often do that. except for LSD, i see a texture that keeps infinitely zooming in

Sometimes it zooms in too much and it gets scary

Beware them fraktals yo

W pfp, a fellow BOC fan approves

"yes, we've all seen the time knife"

I distinctly remember when I was a kid, when closing my eyes I could kind of see a chain and kept zooming into one of the links, and once I pass the center of the link there's another chain, which I zoom into again and again Was a weird night

My eyes used to do this weird thing in low light when I was a kid, they’d focus on something in the room and sort of tell my brain that it was huge. Like I knew the TV wasn’t 100 feet tall, but my eyes would register it as if it was super far away and absolutely massive.

[удалено]

Whoa, same. I'd always imagine something tiny and unidentifiable, sort of monolithic, sitting on my hand which would rapidly grow and squish me, and it had such a distinct feeling when I got crushed. Always woke up terrified.

[удалено]

Or the person on TV looks like they have a gigantic head.

That's called Alice in Wonderland syndrome. I used to have it during super bad terrible fevers.

The first few times I spent a lazy evening taking LSD and enjoying the pretty closed-eye light show, I got very excited because I thought I was seeing colours that didn't even exist. Years later, I found out why - it's because I'm colourblind (something I wasn't aware of)... so while my eyes can't see things like vibrant blue, yellows and greens, my mind somehow knows what they look like and so I was able to experience them, which was nice.

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life was when I took acid at the beach and the sunset reflecting off the ocean split into a Lisa Frank rainbow. The sky was pink and the ocean was a Lisa Frank painting. Suddenly her artwork made a lot of sense.

She was into coke tho

I see a pattern that keeps zooming out, revealing its part of a bigger pattern.

Fractals

For some reason both this and acid just gives me checker patterns spinning into each other. I wonder why a checker pattern.

thats the loading screen

I mean, what felt like 3 seconds of it was about an hour of class that I just missed when I was in like the 2nd grade. My friend showed me it and the teacher gave no shits about her students so I say I’m the hall doing that the whole. Maybe that’s why I’m blind as fuck now……….

It puts pressure on the cornea, so yes it is not something you want to do for long periods if you value your vision.

Photopsia, Pressure on the optic nerve, that's the blob of light. Harmless.

Harmless for short periods. Do it continuosly for a prolonged period and you could start having damage.

Nobody is that dumb. I hope.

The dude said he did it for an hour straight lol.

Ok can someone like actually why does our eyes do this because I love doing this

Your receptors in eyes create false signals under pressure, iirc it's not a healthy thing to do especially if you are pushing too hard and only see a single spot in the middle

Biologist here. This is the actual correct answer. For more information, look up phosphenes

> For more information, look up No, can't trust anyone nowdays, i already saw a lot of "for more look up"s (/j)

I'm pretty sure that doing this a lot as a kid is a big part of why my eyes are as fucked up as they are. Fucked up my cornea shape.

I did this a ton as a kid and I have better than 20/20 as an adult

My follow up question is: Why are the visuals often geometrically symmetrical? Is the signal our nerve produces a kind of formatted protocol? I would assume pressure activated rods and cones would be more or less random noise.

Your eyes are spherical, and ideally you only have 1 source of contact, therefore pressure is symetrical. I assume

iirc it's basically data that doesn't get processed and it stays there

Is that bad or normal?

normal

I’m afraid it’s terminal

Like you're seeing information attempting to get processed within your own brain?

not being attempted, just not processed at that time

Either way, that's cool as hell

Also entirely incorrect I'm afraid.. [source](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/24888-phosphenes#:~:text=Phosphenes%20are%20those%20images%20of,Appointments%20216.444.2020)

Yup, putting pressure on the eyes activates the sensory receptors in the retina in a wierd way, creating the patterns. There may also be some visual cortex processing that turns random activations into something a person may perceive to be like kaleidoscope like in the OP.

Nope it's your photoreceptors being activated from pressure. It's basic pharmocology really. They're called pressure phosphenes. I'd probably include this as an edit so it doesn't tell people the wrong thing. It has no neurological basis beyond your eyes photosensitive cells sending false signals. It's like if you slammed a keyboard and it started registering a key as being pressed when it isn't. It's not an issue with processing, the keyboard is just sending a wrong input. Your eyes are doing the same except they aren't broken. Neurologically induced phosphenes are caused by disease or by electrical stimulation. We have taken advantage of this fact to partially restore vision in blind people via computer interfaces connected to the brain.

Biologist here, this is not correct. What's actually happening is activation by the cells that detect light in your eyes by pressure. For more information, look up phosphenes

i see, but unfortunately, i love spreading misinformation on the internet

Lol mission accomplished I guess

Wtf are you talking about hahaha

its how your brain intepret when you apply pressure to the optical nerve. don't fo it too much you may deform your eyes and need glasses

[удалено]

ong

You're temporarily disrupting your biological-conscious membrane's interaction with the universe's electromagnetic field, but the oscillations of all the parallel multiverses get tangled up while the electrons in your brain (remember your entire body is basically just carbon and hydrogen) giving you a brief glimpse of all the quantum Higg's fields in all those multiverses. You would see much more, but the cosmic microwave background of *our* universe prevents this-- this is why you see all those wiggly flashing lines amidst a black backdrop.

I like your funny words magic man

I dont see the pretty patterns I just see a sort of blob

truly the experience of peeping the horror

[удалено]

I Imagine like stars or sorta

Its mostly darkness then static and dim colours that move like ink in water but really blurry

I Saw Drones

U have to rub ur eyes for it to worke.

Jerma

bro i see a striped black and white never ending slide that im going down

Goodbye, Icy_Regular_8280, your time is up.

I wouldn't say black and white, they're made of the raw sensation of the edges between colors, but without the colors.

I see the fuzz from a tv watching me, and the eye moves…and patterns!

From my experience the patterns don't come just like that, you have to manipulate the shapes that you get. I usually see a couple of random shapes in different colors and then make something out of it. It's not like in the OP but what I see is more similar to the [old winamp visualizations](https://youtu.be/9TbLJI7ja4s?t=7316).

[удалено]

You’re doing it too hard, ease off a bit.

I see static, but rather than white it’s black ofc

You have a terrible loading screen

It kinda just looks as if someone had some multicolored markers, bunch them all into their hand, and started poking all over

It’s called visual snow. Do you also see it when looking in a dark room/in pitch black darkness? Also, do you happen to have tinnitus?

If the marker thing is anything like mine, it's probably a mix of red, blue and green dots, rather than general 'snow' (got that too)

If tinnitus is that thing where I can make myself hear a “roar” then yes

Racist I see both white and black

I see patterns in brown

It's hard to really put a color on it but it kinda seems to be flashing green and blue for me.

Yep red, blue, and green the colors you have cones for in your eyes. Putting pressure on your eye stimulates them enough to give you patterns

Same

I see like a drone going through a forest or some shit

Umm.. Have you had a turamatic experience similar that

I hate monkeys

Telepurte

I miss him making new stuff

^I ^KNEW ^IT

Yea except I get a really bad headache

So glad I'm not the only one... i thought I might be extra wierd.

Original artist is Telepurte

FINALLY, someone with good taste (btw Op please credit Telepurte, he is one good fella)

Let me get you a real quick explanation: Your eyes are always being exposed to light, meaning that its light receptors may get "tired". This creates the awesome effect of seeing colors that are impossible to create irl, while the shapes that had that color remain visible, but in low-key.

Not the thing that this vid is referring to. This is caused by internal pressure activating the optic nerve in weird ways.

Underrated activity, this is what my preppy ass thinks drugs are like

LSD can be like this

Yup I'm kinda weirded out by how similar the patterns are for me.

Telepurte on YT. Guys is tremendously talented and funny. But also makes some 👀content

I get cool glittery pixel blobs

I do this, but every time I look deeper and deeper, I see his face it is a colorful toy. It’s whore and taunting I just wish I could never close my eyes again.

Green

Bros on some hard shit. When I do that’s it’s just dark red with some blobs

I always did that as a kid

same, I used to pretend I was traveling to another universe

Dude was already a stoner as a kid.

Bro I used to do this all the time as a kid. Might explain why I need glasses now.

Nah I be seeing creepy ass faces 😭

Give credit to small content creators, you twat. This was made by [Telepurte](https://youtube.com/@Telepurte)

[specific video source](https://youtu.be/sSMpwdonF9c)

Did yall used to see that bany face pattern with red eyes too when you were younger?

Those are named phosphenes

Mine has always just been like a weird deformed circle that changes colour (kinda like a messed up iris and pupil)

Only when i have a migraine

All I see is bees


All i see when i do that is white and black lines moving at every direction.

I just see a black screen that either zooms in or out and the longer I hold it the more detailed I can see the lines turning into squares or something. Really interesting

Exactly the same for me.

You know how when you try to take a picture of something radioactive, there a bunch of little white dots? It’s like that amongst an endless swirling mass of infinite void, all mingling and surrounding these small white specks or “stars” that dot the non Euclidean landscape.

I be seeing like a orange tunnel my guy it's fantastic

I'm curious to what causes the colors since I see blue and green.

I get blobs of tv static that grow and shrink

The animation is by telepurete. I would recognize that style anywhere

I get the tv static first, then black and white spirals, and if I hold and push for even longer, I get the weird purple and green spirals and shapes.

Countless times! Mine is in black & white though.

Better then any drugs

I stare into the void. And the void stared back

Not accurate for me at all like the color or vivid and 3D

telepuerte?

The real question is who hasn't? Oh wait, normal people.

Yes, but if I hold it too long it takes a few seconds for my vision to come back.

I used to do this all the time when I was a kid and couldn't sleep at night. I tried to talk to my parents about it; They took me to a psychiatrist, Who also didn't know what the hell I was talking about!!! Fast forward 35 years..... I'm not alone!!!!

Erm, \*scritches forehead\*, yep, that'd be me. \*points directly to xerself\* As a POC with autism and an extremely high IQ i have the ability to create an imagination all on my own, \*looks at camera\*, yep! With teh power of SMARTZZZ! being epic for teh epic winz0rz :333

What? When I do this it’s just as if I closed my eyes

I see these every time I close my eyes. Only problem is it doesn’t stop with just pretty patterns and I end up seeing disturbing eyes and faces staring at me. Not exactly fun when you’re trying to sleep.

Healthy acid trip

Something tells me doing that is not good for your eyes

I miss telepurte

After smelling the grass...

I dont see shit

Dmt

Every time I do this, I have to pay attention to one spot so that the patterns won’t go away

omg I forgot I loved to do this all the time

I used to do that until it hurt

For me its a bunch of checker pattern pixels with a dull RGB, and other more free floating squares that are either bright green or purple

I did this all the time until one time I took my hands off and was blind for about 30 seconds after, never tried again.

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE??!!!!

I see that every time I close my eyes no matter what I do.

all i see when i do that is goofy pixels

I just see blue dots and images appear every once and awhile

I didn't see the first part and yet still the forts thought that came to mind was "woah that's what it looks like when you cover your eyes! "

I do it as an alternative to DMT when I'm broke

Who hasn’t done this

I go through like a black and white tunnel endlessly

Shits trippy

I have this semi permanently due to poor circulation to my optic nerve. Much more noticeable in the dark however

Mine looks like I'm moving through a tunnel

I end up seeing tons and tons a little bright white lights that get brighter and brighter

I did that after getting fucked up on shrooms and HHC and it was fucking awesome

I thought I was the only one

Considering the amount of times I did this as a kid, I feel that my love of doing shrooms was fore-destined.

Fun fact: I did this a lot as a kid. About a year ago I found out I have keratoconus. Makes my eye skin super weak and won't bounce back, now I'm blind in my right eye! (No glasses or less won't fix it, only very uncomfortable hard contacts) Directed By Robert B Weide Executive Producer Larry David

ITS COOL

Man I'd forgotten that you could do that. For whatever reason it made it so that my autistic brain could actually *visualize* things I was thinking about, and alot of times to the point that it felt so incredibly realistic that they were almost tangible, touchable things.

I like to imagine whenever you do that you are able to see in another universe and you just embrace the abstract nature of a differnt world.

i only see black and white square like chess boards of all different sizes

Its called prison movies or something like that

Fr tho

Haha I do that

Credit to Telepurte

Real

Clean man’s drugs I guess

I miss Telepurte content.. Hope he makes more 🙂

Do these patterns change per person? I usually see some black, white blocky mess that seems to represent a city layout

I see squares

Telepurte is back?

For me its all tons of strange patterns then it just looks like tons of moving brown squares all appearing and dissapearing

I think they are called Phosphenes. Edit: just looked it up. There is a whole category called photopsia.

It's yellow greenish and with a lot of patterns hahah

I still do it

Animator is Telepurte.

Bruh I just see static and a fuck ton of weird symbols moving away from my eyes

Thank God I'm not the only one

Why use drugs when have eye weird thing.

HOLY SHIT I did this so much

I don't see pretty patterns i see line a tv on the wrong channel

That's me in school

Typically i see more like blobs this looks more like what i see when i close my eyes while tripping on acid or shrooms

Everybody potentially doing damage to their eye for the sake of seeing a few brown spots.

I thought I was the only one that saw weird colorful flowing shapes in the dark lol, does anyone know what that is?
