Visualizing PF Members: Avatars, Names, and Identities

[Evo]

Oh good. It's super small. Sorry. Can't fix it.

Blond? I'm sure you posted a picture years ago of you in Hawaii and you had dark hair.

A girl once got angry at me at uni because I did not remember her. She called me by my name, but I could not recognize her. I told her: "If you know my name I suppose I know you from somewhere, right?" I think I shouldn't have said that, she looked like I offended one of her great ancestors.

I once stood in the queue of the mensa and in front of me was a girl in a short skirt and with beautiful legs. As I dreamt a little by myself she all of a sudden turned around... "Hi, Christine! " - Luckily she took it as a compliment as I later told her about it. But no way I would have associated her beforehand.

Box of hair color.

That and a pair of 1980's sunglasses and you can be anyone you want!

I'm terrible at remembering faces! It's so embarrassing. Than it seems like I'm so rude when I don't greet people.
I admire our HS teacher. He only asked each of 23 students their name once and immediately remembered them all.
I'm quite good at remembering voices. I always remember it and sometimes when someone greets me I recognize them by their voice instead of face :) But obviously, they have to greet me first

It sounds like you may possibly have prosopagnosia:

Tests for this exist. I don't know if it would be worth it for you to get tested except that it might exonerate you from accusations of being inattentive.

It's possible that I have a light form of this disorder. It's not that I don't recognize faces at all, but it seems that I need a lot more (compared to what seems normal) encounters with a person before I can recognize them in different situation and/ or clothing.

Maybe like me, your brain is full. To remember a new face, you will have to forget an old one.
I don't know what the condition is called.
And I'm not trying to claim I'm really smart or anything. Most of the stuff in my brain is old useless junk.

 

[CrazyNinja]

Crazy ninja, you have to have seen the advert to know why

Came close to how I look when mom gives me cereal in the morning...!

I have it. I hate this new forum software, you can't attach an image, it has to be hosted somewhere else.

If the two of Evo and Tsu were the nuns of PF long ago, who are all the other people in the pic?

I guess you can teach an old mule new tricks. Here's me . https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/96050

Aah EVO..! You took all the fun out of how we were imagining you...!

I picture people based on their avatar and name.

The point of the thread is to tell out loud how you picture them.

 

[Silicon Waffle]

I can't picture zoobyshoe. Someone please do it for me.

One of them is Moon Bear!

Oh...uhm...O

 

[1oldman2]

Using D.P.'s advanced search algorithm (and my snipping tool) I was able to come up with an image of Silicon waffle

 

[Silicon Waffle]

Come on, already 155. Your information is out-dated! (@ 10:59 AM Texas grandfather clock )

Wow! with such skills, I'm sure you work for FBI or CIA

It's my processor speed, can't get around that one little bottleneck

They both "let me go" for humor related issues, I'm a free agent at the moment honing my skills as an unskilled skill seeker

 

[Silicon Waffle]

... an unskilled skill seeker

unskilled=\bar{P}
skill={P}
seeker={S}
So, {S} is part of {P} which is negated by \bar{P} or {SP} is negated by \bar{P}. That means \bar{P} turns down {S}.

That could almost be the basis for an entirely new thread.

That could almost be the basis for an entirely new thread.

But then its components would have to be independent, and span the whole thread.

I will try and get Mr. S. Waffle on that one as my problem solving skills need to have some problems solved themselves.

Wha..wa.. What?

CrazyNinja I'm glad you don't understand either :) I thought I was the only one too stupid to understand a science/math/logic joke

 

[Psinter]

This is how I visualize Sophie:

Spoiler: Sohpie

http://cdn.themetapicture.com/pic/images/2015/03/07/cute-girl-goat-selfie-smiling.jpg

And this is how I visualize Silicon Waffle: (be aware that it wasn't until the other day that I realized SW was a 'she'. This whole time I thought she was a 'he', but like I said in my first post it is because I don't really pay attention to genders on the internet, I just want to talk.)

Spoiler: Silicon Waffle

EDIT: I have such a hard time identifying faces that I could only identify that the picture above and the following are the same person because of the teeth. I swear I could not tell they were the same because of the face, I had to look at the teeth: (plus, in the first one she has a little black dot below her mouth and in the second one it disappeared completely I'm so confused)

Spoiler: More Silicon Waffle

Girls can have many faces according to how they do their hair and it confuses me so hard. A girl can tell me: "I can avoid being seen if I wish..."
-Aragorn

And I would believe her.

 

[CrazyNinja]

@Silicon Waffle is a "she"??! Jesus. My whole life has been a lie.

 

[CrazyNinja]

This is how I visualize Sophie:

You visualise Sophia as Kim Kardashian?

Here is how I see @Sophia

PS: Did you recognise who it is?

 

[Psinter]

You visualise Sophia as Kim Kardashian?
PS: Did you recognise who it is?

Um, no. That's not Kim Kardashian.

Nope, no idea who that is. I cannot recognize. Is it someone famous? Enlighten me, please.

 

[CrazyNinja]

Is it someone famous?

Yup yup.

If it's not Kim Kardshian, then who IS it?
