What's even cooler is that the Wikipedia URL actually supports unencoded slashes

I was wondering what was happening there!

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago

I noticed that! Never seen that before either.

I like to do a quick bouba/kiki experiment with people when they ask me what having synesthesia is like

Demonstrates nicely the "I didn't know why, I just know that it is" feeling

It’s not just crystals. Even amorphous solids, like glass, can be extremely kiki.

amorphous is a bouba word for kiki materials

Water above 273 K with a certain amount of pressure becomes kiki again.

Where’s that area on this phase diagram?

Some rain feels very kiki to me.

[-] moonlight@fedia.io 7 points 4 hours ago

True, but if you look at it close up, it's bouba. Very small bouba moving fast does kinda turn into kiki at larger scales.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

We need a grand unified theory for describing the physics where matter goes from bouba- to kiki-scale.
