- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I've got prosopagnosia; if you have the same hair color and style as someone else, you might as well be identical twins for all I can tell.
Huh, I never knew the word for it. Thank you.
My wife has said many times, to me and others, that she thinks I have a form of face blindness. I don't think I do.
It came up because every time someone said something like "doesn't X look like Y when they were little?", and I'd respond that I don't see it. So many people say my kids are a splitting image of me... Nope, I don't see that.
I recognise people I know in photos, new or old photos, usually without issue.
I do however often think an actor is someone they aren't. "Hey, is that the person from this other movie", my wife: "what?! No! They don't even look alike". And sometimes I'll ask her if a random person looks like this or that person, usually with the same response, sometimes a strange look and "are you feeling ok?".
Anyway, these guys should team up on a project. /s
I think I also must have face blindness. My wife says that my son is my spitting image, but I think he kind of looks like the postman. Face blindness for sure.
Weird, my daughter also looks like your postman. Funny coincidence isn't it?
I wonder about myself sometimes.
I have a really hard time recognizing someone if the context changes unless I know them fairly intimately. If I see someone I work with every day at the grocery store I will have no problem recognizing them. If I see someone who I wave to in the building when we pass, but who I rarely if ever interact with, I will really struggle to notice that it's someone I know. I've run into my son's teachers (who I generally at least see every day during the school year even if we don't interact) and had 30 secs of panic before I could click into place who I was talking to.
