    Seeing in the comments that so many other people also thought they could see atoms is so crazy. Last time I stumbled upon this phenomenon was in a comment section where someone asked if anyone knows the feeling of really wanting to punch in their dreams but the punch doesn't happen haha. I love it that so many other people experience the same stuff I do.

      Fleiki Plays Games. If you aggressively insult someone on the internet for asking politely something they don't like you are probably not even near 5. Your fact of how "5 years old's shouldn't be watching RUclips" is completely senseless, there are parents who turn on cartoons showed around RUclips for their 5, if not, even younger children. Learn to use manners correctly, you are old enough to know this.

      I have figured recently that there are a lot of "normal" things I cannot do, like apparently most people can unfocus their eyes, and most people have a dominant eye. Neither of those make any sense to me
      Also any pixel density below 90 PPI for monitors is extremely jarring for me as I see the individual pixels at normal viewing range

      Those could simply be phanromal spirits. I use to see them when I was younger. I used to live in a neighborhood which use to be a army base. Outside my house was a big old tree, and whenever I closed my eyes, I'd see a figure in the tree looking up. I remember my little brother saying he saw a boy hanging from a tree with some sort of string across his neck. The boy would be screaming. My brother once said that the boy had blood dripping off wherever he looked. The girl I saw just stared at me, never moved. Still see them sometimes, tbh, but very rarely.

    I remember as a small child, maybe even a toddler, playing with these in my eyes, chasing them around in sight trying to capture them. Never knew what they were. Now I'm 70, I'm still playing with them. Half my lifetime ago I found out the name of them; just a few short years ago I found out nothing could be done about it. If I live to be 90, I've got 20 more years of fun!

    OMG this makes me so happy to see. When I was in high school 20 years ago, I would ask a few teachers about these things. I would consistently be told I'm not seeing anything or I must have been rubbing my eyes right before seeing them. Nice to finally find out I wasn't crazy. Well, at least not crazy about this. :D

      Take a shiny object in front of your face, you can see the shiny reflections on it like stars, but if you put it closer to your eyes you can see that they are round.
      Look close enough and you can see bacteria... I think.

      I always thought it was a common thing. Then some jackass on the internet said that it's a disease that u get from exposing your eye to screens for too long. My mum endorsed that statement, and since shes a nurse, I really believed it for a long time. Turns put, she just did what all mothers do, she lied to get me off my ps4
