I'm like this with plants, too.

I was a bit like that too, but since I started using Flora Incognita, I'm actually recognising different trees as I'm walking on the street, even without the app 🤯

Thanks, that app looks pretty promising! I've been using Merlin to identify bird calls, and now I've started being able to identify birds by sight or sound without the app

Shrimps cant see extra colors though. They are just too dumb to mix basic colors in their brain, instead just evolved extra color receptors

OOP can tell a truck from a sedan.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Ooh fancy pants over here, able to distinguish colors from each other. Capable of describing things. Having the capacity to tell objects apart.

I'm more discerning regarding the model of my first car, or similar models. Got used to finding that car in a parking lot, etc.

Basic reading skills and a not completely non-functioning memory is beyond people's abilities?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Don't forget interest. I have 0 interest in learning these things, so they won't stick even if I try. And I've tried.

I used to be able to detect a 90s Chrysler/Dodge engine by their sound. It was very distinctive across the whole range.

Not a lot of those survived. Their transmissions sucked ass. I don't think I could do it anymore.

If you hear a car that sounds like a box of metal shavings dumped in a food processor... That's a Ford Focus. I know them by the sound of the transmission alone.

I used to be like that back in highschool/college when I was more into cars. It was fun being able to find the small details of the car to single out which year model it was and stuff like that.

Now, I don't have the time or interested to do that any more.

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 3 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Lol, I can tell engines apart just based on sound....

Sedan? Yeah no. Brown car. Saying sedan makes you sound like some kind of car expert.

Do you know why a chicken coop has two doors? If it had four, it'd be a chicken sedan
