This one is seriously messed up.

Use 2 if you like on a bigger screen.
Are you sayin' that you cannot see it ? (4 me, its hard to not see it) (Currently on 10.0 inch screen, not so easy to see)

I was too brief, I meant the wobbling disapeared as I watched it one-eyed only.
And today it wobbles even with one eye only, so seems to depend on my actual fitness. Two-eyed doubles the wobbling ampltude. Nice one.

This not an optical illusion, but a practical tool. [no point in starting new thread just for this post]
See original idea:- Play this song to stop seagulls from nicking your chips at the beach https://metro.co.uk/2022/07/22/play-...hips-17052190/ Has sounds of hawks and eagles and such, BUT, also has music beat and also sounds of damn seagulls too ! Here some similar stuff on YouTube[some are tens of hours (eg 48 hours) long]:- https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...of+prey+sounds But again, some have some additional music or other noise. Here, a 16 second clip, with non required sounds chopped off [FalconSoundEffectNoCopyright-KeepYourChips.mkv, 2MB]:- https://www.mediafire.com/file/0uev1...Chips.mkv/file [Source clip, Falcon sound effect no copyright | falcon scream | peregrine falcon call :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA0F0Vqruro ] For those of you about to go to the seaside for a paddle. [put it on your phone and loop it when you've been to the chippy] (Demux the aac for audio only, about 400KB) EDIT: Here same, with audio m4a Only[400KB]:- https://www.mediafire.com/file/75n4q...right.m4a/file EDIT: Seagulls dont just steal chips in Whitby, here a clip from Jersey Shore:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QffgWL3Y3uw EDIT: And if they cant get chips, the're always ready to make do:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sDQhNWuJnY

You know, the other day I watched a person interview a young girl and he asked her some questions to understand the differences between generations. One of the questions was "which social media are you in?" and she started listing them (TicToc was in there). At that point the interviewer said: "Uh, I'm surprised you didn't mention Facebook" and the young girl said: "No, that's for old people, like my parents".
It was in that moment that I realized that not only I'm slowly approaching my 30s, but that some of my friends are indeed parents already... For a person like me who often jokes about how young I am compared to the "old farts", I've never felt so old... |

From Here:- https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/22...dden-illusion/
Below, with bins on (eye-glasses) could not see anything (no animal), but take them off and can immediately see the creature. EDIT: Actually, the image is a bit big for me on the D9 (difficult to see), is easier to see it via first link. EDIT: I can see creature in above image with bins off, if I wiggle/scroll it up and down a bit.

No glasses, a bit shortsighted but I'll be long in my retirement before I'll ever contemplate the use of glasses. (Specsavers won't have me!).
Now, jokes aside, I can see the picture, but I'm a bit confused. If I watch it from the front, it looks like a gorilla walking, however if I look at it from the side, it looks like a horse. |

the docs dont really know why that 2% get away with not needing optical assistance for their entire lives. (lenses stay supple) Just one of the things that nobody tells you, but that you find out for yourself eventually.

You might get by without glasses, but they make many things easier. I'm a little under fifty and I got my first glasses for everyday use (I use them if I need to see clearly far, like when driving) this year but struggled already for years
The irritating thing about glasses is that the brains adjust and then it's much harder to manage without them.. it would be interesting to test how long it would take to train them to go back to life without glasses

However, its just so damn convenient to reach for them [bins] instead of a having to struggle. [Basically, your brain just gets used to switching off focusing when you use glasses, takes time to get it to start switching on again] EDIT: This book, I got some years ago [when my eyes were going dodgy] from the local library. Was first published in [I think] 1901 [EDIT: apparently 1920 for original version], and was in its 51st [or thereabouts] edition/printing when I got it. Comes with an eye [similar to Snellen] chart, to assist in eye exercising so as to get by without bins, it does work to some degree, but just too damn easy to use them [bins] "just this once". Better Eyesight Without Glasses [W.H. Bates]:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eyesight-Wi...-2652219?psc=1 EDIT: IIRC, W.H. Bates came from a family of opticians or optical scientists/hobbyists, I think his father was one of those that investigated the case of the two little girls who took photographs of fairies in their garden, and nobody could prove that they were fake [including Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini] [EDIT: Maybe I imagined this paragraph. {or maybe something about it in the book}].

Dont think the Snellen chart has squares in it, Bates does.
