This did not occur to me when I first read the read the question, but I came to realize we are overlooking the obvious. Deaf people have sign language so, assuming they learn it, wouldn't they be visualizing signing words, just the same as the rest of us "hear" word dialogues in our head?

If you are born deaf…what language do you think in? 🤔
Did you know, there are people who don't hear themselves think or can't think in pictures? A study was done on it a while back and I was blown away by the fact that some people think in words, some think in pictures, some think in 3d images and some can think in all 3.
And most assume everyone thinks like they do.
I always assumed everyone thought in English and it just comes out the mouth in different languages

Found the hardest thing when learning a language was to think in that language. Hearing, say, German, then converting what you hear into English, forming a reply in English, converting that to German, then speaking usually puts you a long way behind the conversation power curve.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
Speaking of stupid stuff that pops into your head, my head, I noticed a large hole in the ground, say 4in circumference, while mowing today. A couple years ago there was a large yellow-jacket hive close to there.
Pops into my head:
"I should get some gasoline and pour it down that hole and light it".
Echoes of stories I heard from ER patients started reverberating between my ears.
So, no gasoline down the hole.
I wonder if anyone's selling firecrackers yet?

You can pour gasoline down it and NOT light it. Often the gas will drive them out of their escape hole if it is a nest. That way you can get a better fix on what you’re dealing with.
Get a bunch of styrofoam. It’ll dissolve in the gasoline into a pourable gel…poorman’s napalm. It’ll stay where you put it and you can light it from a distance using waxed cotton string.

I'm guessing that like myself, you also read Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book"?
For those who may not know, or remember, Steal This Book was a sort of Ranger's Handbook for the dissident in the '60s.

Suddenly it crystalized. Virtually all rapes involve penises. Therefore, to solve the problem of rape in our society, the obvious solution is to rid the landscape of penises. If you, or someone you know is in possession of a ****, please report it immediately. The government should first set up **** buy-back stations, where anyone turning in a **** will receive the scrap metal price for that ****. After 90 days, specialized police units will go door to door searching for any remaining penises, and remove them. Thus, the problem of rape in this country will be forever resolved.

I was wondering why we don't do many reviews on this site and I was thinking that it's because they end up being so insular and personal and don't always translate very well to someone else experience with tobacco. I get a lot from others saying that they kind this or that, but if I read a detailed review, if I even read it, I don't think it is all that helpful.
The other thing I think of is how ridiculous reviews at Halfwheel and other sites are that reviews get scorn from experienced smokers.
Anyway, that's what I was thinking about.

I think you're right, Chris. I don't mind others reporting the taste sensations they perceive, but I've learned that my own perceptions may be quite different. It's very subjective.

I also need to get to know the reviewer and what they like and don't like before I'll decide whether to take their advice. Neither one of us is right or wrong but different people prefer different things.
Reviewers have gotten too outrageous IMO. The majority sound like they are interviewing for Cfed. Years ago I could watch one and think that’s sounds interesting but now it comes across as bad attempts to grab views or gain followers.
I don't understand why so many people out there think their perspective on a particular cigar is important, or worth, enough that strangers would care about it.

Light it. What's the worst that could happen?

gasoline (unlit) is also the best most permanent way to get rid of ants.

The Holy Bible is a book.

Doesn’t that make the church a tax exempt book club?
