Well, the picture comes from a TV receiving random bullshit radio waves. That's basically the same thing that happens when you hit that nerve. It's not meant to convey pain, so it's essentially just a random bullshit signal.
1% of analog tv static is due to the cosmic microwave background, remnants of the early formation of the universe and critical evidence of the big bang. The og random bullshit signal.
Widely regarded as a bad move
The big bang?

Well, first the Earth cooled, and then the dinosaurs came, but they were too big and fat, so they all died and got turned into oil, and then the arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benz. And then Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes.

Is this a universal experience? I agree with the image, but I also have synaesthesia so I wouldn't rely on my experience to be the norm
Yeah it's pretty universal. Similar feeling when a limb "falls asleep."
A family friend's kid named this as feeling "pintingular" and I think he nailed it.
Wow! He really did nail it. I'll have to remember that! Thanks for sharing :)
