What is the difference between blinders and mistakes?

Blinders - I guess it means making the opponent blind? Or it's a weapon?
Mistakes - Very bad move, you missed something easy.

normal = Or, nothing that’s bad

Uh guess #2 said it was blunders although the title was blinders

Yes

I think it's about centipawn loss; something between 100-200 is inaccuracy; 300-700 is mistake and over 900 is blunder
yet; it's possible to get a ACPL of 80 without making any significant (which computer shows) inaccuracy; mistake or blunder.

Blunder is big mistake
Mistake is a small blunder

Sometimes it is meaningless.

A blunder can be a transformation to a simple endgame a rook up where the machine wants you to go for highly complicated mate in 13 with queens and open king on the board.

I always thought a blunder meant "Making a move which - with good-enough-play by your opponent - will result in you losing material without compensation".

Usually, yes. But here it’s just the drop of a number. The result can be even better for humans.

On Lichess analysis you can drop your Queen and not have it marked as a blunder - even if the resulting position is going to be really hard to win. The Lichess analysis is coded that way on purpose - because you are still winning, no glyph and no comment.

The Lichess analysis should be looked at as a sort of very quick analysis that is looking for errors, but will be silent about them after the game has reached a point where the person that is ahead has large enough winning chances.

Now, given that, I'd really prefer to have some control over the Lichess analysis markings and comments. I've put that request in Feedback before.

Here is a very simple example I made into a study. A more complex example with a full game is linked in the study and is also below.

Lichess and Stockfish Analysis can be misleading:
