    Jokes on you, I give all blind people 30 seconds of sight once in their life at the single most useful moment. Blind people worldwide regain their sight just in time to avoid accidents, to see their loved ones right before they die, or to save their children from danger.

      If they’ve been blind since birth, then their brain might not be capable of processing this completely new stimulus fast enough

      It’d be the equivalent of us being able to “see” magnetic flux using our nipples, for 30 seconds

      Except they might not understand what they see. As a kid I asked a legally blind buddy what he would do if he suddenly could see clearly and he said “probably freak out. Im used to my vision as it is now I don’t know how to do anything as a ‘normal person’”.
