Maybe it says “move along there’s nothing to see here”
Not all people with blindness are 100% sightless
I’m more surprised by how huge the braille writing is.
Is inclusive design new to you?
Blind people can have normally sighted children, this is a young kids playground after all.
Blind kids need to have fun too, Todd
This is touching, but I can’t see myself using it.
Nothing about this is funny.
blind person: what is this? braille: its this
anything else
I’m a Braille teacher. Can confirm the braille is correct; they just didn’t capitalize the F and R.
Reflection is soul deep, my friend.
what, you don’t think blind kids are friends with sighted kids? Maybe they’re curious what it is they’re friends are looking at or talking about
I don’t understand the surprise.
Blind person: What a weird shape here, I wonder…oh that’s what it is. Ok.
I saw this image right and at first thought with the title that there was a really fine and dense Braille text imprinted all over the surface of the mirror, that would basically say, ‘here your face is getting wider!’ ‘Imagine your head as wide as this panel’ ‘here you have legs skinny like a twig’ but more poetic.
As a blind person myself, I can definitely confirm this is braille.
Unfortunately wouldn’t work in Australia. Would scorch off their little fingertips.
The Sun down here is an utter bastard, written by someone who was a child during the “let’s make all slippery slides out of metal” 1970s.
“This isn’t for you so you don’t have to know what it is” is one stance to have I suppose
Legally blind people can still see it’s just really shit
I was at a birthday party once where somebody showed a blind guest to the toilet and caught himself telling the blind guy where the light switch was.

blind kids – great topic to to make fun of
Why is this posted here? What’s funny about this?
Why is this funny?
How dare they tell blind children what their environment is made up of :O /s
Just because they can’t see it doesn’t mean that they don’t know something is there.
I get it’s funny to sighted people but as someone who is visually impaired, it’s really nice to know what I’m walking into even if I’m not able to use that thing. For me the world is often an obstacle course.
In Naples, Italy there is brail on a handrail at a national landscape that describes the view. Inclusion matters for people with disabilities.
Edit: I don’t mind this at all and I make the most jokes around my friends but just be mindful that not everyone with disabilities enjoy humor on their behalf.
yes, blind people are allowed to know what is around them…
Just because you’re blind doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be given an opportunity to read a sign. I’m male, and yet I’ve been known to read the sign on the door of the women’s bathroom. That room isn’t for me, and the sign tells me so. This sign tells the blind person there’s nothing interesting for them here.
Just because the child can’t see they can still understand what it is by using the braille.
To me, even if a blind person can’t use this mirror very well or at all (not all blindness is total blindness) it’s still good for them to know what it is. Think about what it would feel like to be constantly told, directly or indirectly, “oh you can’t see so you don’t have to know what this is.”
I sometimes send my blind friend funny images. His wife describes them to him but at the same time I’m also trying to include him in a common type of behavior.
Sometimes he will share the pictures with other people and he’ll be like ‘oh my friends said that picture was hilarious.’
Or it’s just saying what it is then they dnt hang around for nothing
Only a very small percentage of those who are legally blind have zero vision.
With the braille sign those with some remaining vision know what they’re looking at.
So it turns out the sign isn’t stupid after all.
But if you thought it was, there’s a chance you’re the stupid 😂
Makes sense. Let them know it’s a mirror so they don’t sit there wondering why they don’t see anything.
Gotta let those blind kids know about all the fun they are missing
/s obviously
