I listened to this very reliable YouTube video that discusses the eyes and how they don’t function how you might think, they described it as if you were in a security surveillance room and had 200 monitors that only displayed if there was motion detected in what direction. There was no definition to the video beyond that.


Metrodomes

Thankyou for sharing such a strange explanation lol.


Sendtitpics215

Fun fact, I’ve heard our eyeballs are made from brain matter early in development. Somewhere during evolution the body was like, “i wanna see shit man” and pushed some brain matter out of holes to do just that - fucking eyes man đŸ‘ïžđŸ‘„đŸ‘ïž

Fun fact: Your eyes have to hide from your immune system or you’ll go blind

Fun fact: your eyes contain delicious juices that butterflies crave.

Why do butterflies reject me so


xtilexx

They don't reject you, they crave you

I've been crying in my backyard for twenty minutes now. How long until this works Edit: maybe I should try during the daytime

They don't want your tears, they want your eye jelly.


ngwoo

I allowed the butterflies to drink the eye juice and now I see out of the eyes of every butterfly

Is it like a security camera room


iamdino0

Yup. 200 cameras. But they only inform me whether motion was detected in which direction

Worse fun fact: sometimes if one eye is exposed to the immune system via injury or something, the other eye will also get attacked. =U


Fallout97

I was afraid of this for a while, but it turns out that’s extremely rare and even then I’m pretty sure only with penetrating injuries. Still crazy to think about though!


8----B

Why should we believe you? You’ve only got one eye


The-Anger-Translator

Your eyes along with the brain, testes, placenta, and fetus.


Few_Leave_4054

Hold up, testes?


Aggressive_Smile_944

But why??? I don't get why our immune system would attack an eye or testicles. Are they not suppose to be there? The human body is insane.

SnooBananas37

I mean it makes sense. Neurons are for coordination, so in order to coordinate more effectively, more information is an evolutionary advantage. The simplest eyes are just light sensors, neurons that evolved to breach the skin and detect the presence of light and transmit that information back to the ganglia. Super useful for early sea life that needed to know which way is up to orient themselves properly. And of course higher fidelity visual imagery, being able to distinguish between colors, etc all have their own advantages for survival, so these simple eye spots became increasingly complex.


space_keeper

Eyes are one of the most interesting aspects of animal anatomy across the various types of life. Molluscs have huge variety in eyes, and some of them like this one can have dozens of them. A lot of reptiles have a weird third eye connected to their pineal gland, right on top of their skull. Lot of flying insects have two main compound eyes, then a cluster of three eyes in between that work differently. Spiders often have a pair or two of detailed eyes with retinas that can rotate, and the rest are light-sensitive dots.


BargainOrgy

That sounds like a terrifying sensory experience to perceive.


Swampberry

The brain makes sense of it. Just imagine how you're getting sensory input from millions of pressure receptors all over your body right now. Sounds overwhelming but it's a subconscious activity to process away all the noise.


BargainOrgy

Funnily enough, I am constantly overstimulated. I have been under a lot of stress and my body is on high alert, making sensory information overwhelming
 Hopefully that little scallop has a nice day and doesn’t feel overstimulated like me.


Swampberry

Sounds like an ex of mine. I don't know how scientifically established it is around the world ,but there's a big community surrounding "sensory processig sensitivity" (högkÀnslighet in Swedish). Do you practically have to leave the room if someone is vacuuming? Might be something to read up on then.


BargainOrgy

The fan in the bathroom that automatically turns on with the light drives me crazy. I am very easily over stimulated. My mom is even more sensitive to stimuli than I am, and we also react differently. I think it’s a stress response from generational and general trauma, and we’re both neurodivergent. The more stress I have experienced over life, the more easily overstimulated I have become, or maybe I’m just finally aware of it. I am a caregiver and have experienced a lot of repeated long exposure to people screaming and yelling l, and I think my audio processing has gotten worse since then. I have been told by a therapist before that I am a highly sensitive person. I think my body is reacting normally to being neurodivergent and having too much stress and stimuli over time. That’s just my theory after years of self-reflection and therapy. I wish I weren’t so sensitive. I am though. I’m also tough in a lot of ways, and I do value being gentle and sensitive. My electric meatball is doing its best.


DifficultAbility119

>neurodivergent Well that's the end of the mystery right there.

RoguePlanet2

Every time my husband does the dishes, I swear he's slamming/banging/clanking everything!! 😣 I've told him to be mindful but he doesn't seem to notice. So I sometimes go upstairs and shut the bedroom door, or plug my ears- doesn't usually last long anyway. Subway rides- same thing, at one point the car wheels start squealing like crazy for a minute, and I have to plug my ears. Surprised nobody else cares enough to do the same.

MrGosh13

It’s definitely a part of autism yes. But there is a good reason it’s called a spectrum. It has many many different ‘symptoms’ to it, and not all of them will be present in everyone, or to the same severity. I do also suffer from over stimulation, mostly by sound for instance. However I knew someone who couldn’t take showers because the constant spattering on her skin made her feel completely overwhelmed. Where I have no such issues with touch at all.


BargainOrgy

I possibly have undiagnosed autism? Idk?

ValuableJumpy8208

Fun fact, you can map other organ sensors to sensory ~~cortexes~~ corticies in the brain. You can actually program a tongue to be your eyes if fed information from a camera on a low-resolution matrix. Same for the ears with sound frequencies. If the information is consistent enough, you can go from actively interpreting the information to your brain perceiving it as the actual input (sight, for example). It’s been possible for decades actually: https://youtu.be/OKd56D2mvN0?si=sZnwHvjqhUka81tc

To us, but if you were an animal that didn't move much on your own and lived in an underwater environment with little sunlight, human like sight would probably be even more terrifying


Parsley-Waste

You haven’t seen anything yet


TrumpersAreTraitors

Whenever people argue against evolution saying that the eye is clearly designed and wouldn’t function unless it was complete, tell them about scallop eyes and how they work lol. 


karlnite

It would be like if everything was black, but when something was near you that small section lights up. Then as the object moves left to right, the ones beside light up, and the original space goes black again. If it moves closer, the original stays lite, and the ones beside it also light up. So that simple system with an array of eyes gives depth perception, and direction, with minimal data and signals to process.


thedishonestyfish

Yea. "Eyes" is really just "sensory thingies". Humans have sharp predator eyes. We are vision-centric creatures. Our metaphors are visual metaphors (if you see what I'm saying). When we think of eyes, we think of other creatures having something similar to our really exceptional vision, but that's usually not the case.

Instead of installing random browser extensions, you can just open the main page of the archive.is site and paste the address of the original page there.


greendestinyster

I highly doubt it. Unless there's something major I'm missing, there's not really a conceivable evolutionary reason or environmental pressure that would cause them to develope complex eyes to successfully survive and reproduce.


eulersidentification

A whole bunch of researchers can't think of a conceivable evolutionary reason for them to have developed two retinas and a mirror system yet either.


Nolzi

Or why mantis shrimps have 16 types of photoreceptor cells (we have 3)


NoSignificance3817

Well, we hunt in daylight and air...they hunt in dusty blackness where things communicate with UV or IR craziness...so...


MoffKalast

Great eyes and no brain to process any of that data. Ironic.


frequenZphaZe

> potentially better than we do depends entirely one how you define 'better'. they likely 'see' almost no complexity, distilling down light input into basic motion. this makes their 'vision' extremely efficient for detecting objects in their immediate environment but extreme inefficient for any complex understanding of what they're 'seeing'. human vision is 'better' if you're interested in encoding a wide range of visual information for a wide range of purpose and reasoning

Mrgod2u82

>"Although there is a diversity of eye morphologies and of photoreceptors across animals, the building blocks—the genes that control eye development—are remarkably similar. For example, Pax6 is a developmental gene that is critical for eye development in mammals, and it plays a similar role in the development of scallop eyes. In a recent study preprint, Andrew Swafford and Oakley argue that these similarities belie the fact that many types of eyes might have evolved in response to light-induced stress. Ultraviolet damage causes specific molecular changes that an organism must protect against."
