I get the getting used to lag part. But getting used to the whole world being upside down sounds insane.
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.
Okay, that's a fair point.

Takes a few days but it's totally possible.
Fucking hell
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).
Still sounds disgusting. Just thinking about trying to walk seems horrible.
