Aight! I want to heart from people thinking this is normal, or not, and if you can actually see pictures in your inner space. I feel a doctoral dissertation could be written here.

i feel you may be trying to break into open doors.
The static yes, the purple no.
That shade of purple seems a bit off, but you might see colours depending on the light going through your eyelids
My wife and I have never experienced this. 🤷
Very interesting though.
its like constantly seeing static, in a non bright room.
Probably just your tuner that’s unplugged. Feel around for any loose wires.
Or “upgrade” to digital, the downside to that is that you either have vision or no vision at all if reception is kinda weak.
how did you take this photo? Small camera through your ear?
They just closed their eyes and then pressed in their ear and anus to take a screenshot.
Wow that’s so much easier! I’ve always had to pee and fart at the same time
Idk what piss poor model you guys are, but for me is sneeze & fart, much easier imo.
“Peeing without a fart is like having sex without an orgasm.”
Said no one goto the doctor
From m’eye experience. Yes.
Mine varies from the static to a fine lattice grid that is constantly changing.
I see brown and tan herringbone with paisley patterns blooming through it.
That’s closest to mine, honestly. More of a beige and black hounds tooth, though.
If you see this when your eyes are open then it may be visual snow.

I have this… I just thought this was normal vision. I hate my eyes 😔
So did we all, friend. You’re one of the tv static people now. Welcome
I have this in my right eye without break but also no migraines
I have it. I’m used to it. It’s not as if I can do something about it.
What if you can at-will toggle the perception?
Better than seeing weird letters and 80 style colored geometric shape sliding around.
Here’s an artist’s impression of what that might look like.
I only get patterns (usually floral-ish) if I press my eyes a little. You guys are getting them for free?!
Yes. And if you want to see something really cool, take a look at a clear blue sky. You’ll notice tiny dots of lighter color moving quickly following constant short trajectories. These are your own leucocytes moving through the capilars right in front of your retina. The brain compensates the darker color of the predominant red blood cells, so you can’t see the capilars, but the white blood cells are translucent, so they appear as lighter dots!

Yes. It’s called “Eigengrau” and it happens due to the adaptation of the eye amidst the darkness.
So it’s like when a camera doesn’t have enough light to properly take a photo, producing a lot of grain. Like when you have a high ISO when taking a photo/video in a dark room, it looks very grainy. I guess the eye is still adjusting its “exposure” if you see some of this graininess in the dark (or when you close your eyes?)
the brain is always trying to find pattern in incomplete data. one of the explanations i have seen is that when our ancestors were sitting around the fire, those who saw the tiger or something lurking in the dark had better chance to pass their genes than those who didn’t.
it is why we are seeing patterns in clouds and random geometrical shapes on walls and stuff like that.
This is what the night sky starts to look like when I try to look at stars
The indistinguishability of dark events from photon responses supports this explanation because rhodopsin is at the input of the transduction chain. On the other hand, processes such as the spontaneous release of neurotransmitters cannot be completely ruled out.
Welcome to the simulation
I wish it was still 1999 :(
Can I offer you a blue pill in this trying time?
for the topic of discussion it might be worthwhile to also look into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia
1/10 people have it and have no idea it’s not normal, my sister and mother too
I see a little “DVD” logo zipping around that changes colour when it bounces off the periphery of my vision.
I saw it hit the corner perfectly once!
This, but there’s paddles on either end that hit the logo back and forth.
And I never seem to win
