Bizarre world upside down
Welcome to the discussion!
Something happened to me recently that turned my world upside down. It was so bizarre that I laughed for 10 minutes before I could even begin to figure out how to twist my world right-side up again. Days later, I am still chuckling about it.
As I was typing on my computer keyboard, I leaned forward for a closer look at the desktop screen, when my hands slipped from their normal position and pushed a bunch of keys all at the same day. Suddenly the image on the screen was turned upside down! Everything was inverted: The document was upside down, and reversed. When I moved the mouse down, it went up. When I moved it left, it went right.
There was my sermon, upside down and backwards. When I typed, the words were upside down, appearing right to left. I knew I must have hit keys which commanded Windows to invert the screen, but I had no concept what they were. I rebooted the computer, hoping when it restarted it would reset to normal view. But my wallpaper image of a beautiful castle was upside down, with the sky and mountains below, and a flowing river flowing at the top of the screen. I had to physically change my monitor upside down so
Here’s What ‘Stranger Things’ Upside-Down Planet Almost Looked Like
Netflix’s Stranger Things relied much moreso on mood and tension than the “Demogorgon” monster at the heart of its central mystery, but the creature itself’s home almost looked very different. See for yourself in some alternate concept art for the “Upside Down” dimension, as well as what might have been for the otherworldly creature.
The so-called “Demogorgon” itself went through multiple iterations, some with more elongated limbs and elaborate quills. The final design ended up a bit more humanoid, perhaps to fit the season’s more subtle reveal, while co-creator Matt Duffer told Variety:
We had worked with a concept musician before — Aaron Sims — and he’s absolutely incredible. We talked a lot with Aaron about what we wanted this monster to look like. We talked about H.R. Giger, Guillermo del Toro, Clive Barker — we tried to find what about their monsters was so effective to us, they tended to be humanoid but there was something very bizarre about them. If you were going to encounter something from another dimension it
Isabel Gonzalo, a physicist from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) recently released a study that reveals the bizarre story of “Patient M,” a person whose brain made him see the world backward and upside down.
In the year 1938, Patient M was shot in the leader and was brought to an army hospital where he was diagnosed by Isabel’s father Justo Gonzalo, a neuroscientist who treated injured soldiers during the Spanish civil war. He spent 50 years of his life studying the unique medical condition of M. His daughter picked up from where he left off.
Seeing the world through the lens of Patient M
Patient M had suffered damage in the parieto-occipital region, the part of the brain that controls functions like visual mapping and processing, spatial orientation, the shape and size of objects, and hand-eye coordination.
During his treatment, M was unconscious for nearly two weeks and when he woke up, his world was literally upside down.
He saw and heard things backward, he was qualified to read numbers and words in a book only when they were inverted in front of him. However, he could tell the time on a wristwatch from any direction. Often the clouds in the sky and people

The Upside Down, and 8 Pretend Worlds We'd Rather Never Visit
A new season of Netflix’s '80s horror darling Stranger Things has arrived. The series creators, the Duffer Brothers, and its charming cast have all returned, including Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice), David Harbour (Marvel Studios’ Black Widow), Millie Bobby Brown (Enola Holmes), and Finn Wolfhard (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) and many more. Despite its expansive story, the series is yet to fully illuminate the mysteries surrounding the Upside Down, the strange parallel dimension around which the series’ supernatural horror revolves.

But perhaps it’s best it remains a mystery. After all, what we know makes it seem like an objectively terrible place. Sorry, Kate Bush, nothing can stop Stranger Things’ nightmare dimension from ranking among other terrifying fictional worlds we would never dream of visiting. Ever.
First introduced in the first season of Stranger Things, the Upside Down is a haunted reflection of our world. To produce matters worse, the Upside Down is host to the
