I think the “adapted” state would feel like living with a chronic illness. You’ll still constantly feel nauseous and be puking, but you’d force yourself through doing basic life activities anyway
Some years ago I got so drunk that had a 1-2 seconds visual delay, I vividly remember not being able to stop my friends from stealing my chips because I literally tried stopping them way too late. It was really funny tbh, damn.
In any case, I never felt nauseated, my brain got accustomed to having a delay naturally.
If you think about it, the perception of what is “right side up” is arbitrary. It’s like that cliche discussion of qualia and what if what I see as red is different from what you see as red.
The lenses of your eyes already perceive the whole world upside down, your brain just flips it. If you wear glasses that invert it after a few days your brain will stop the flipping (and then if you take them off it’ll take a few days to re-flip).
I bet the vast majority of people would get used to it. The human brain is wondrously plastic.
If vision flipping goggles can be adapted to I bet this could too.
I’m just one of those people who notice the lag so I’d be puking the whole time I was adapting.

I get the getting used to lag part. But getting used to the whole world being upside down sounds insane.

Okay, that’s a fair point.

Takes a few days but it’s totally possible.
Fucking hell

Still sounds disgusting. Just thinking about trying to walk seems horrible.
