Desert Bus posted:The last time I explained on here that Magic Eye pics are bullshit and that everyone claiming to be able to see anything in them was just cargo culting on what others claimed they could see in them, because they didn't want to feel left out? It caused a page long derail of people claiming they could see them so they'd not look dumb in front of others who also did the same thing. can an empty quote be a thread title?

Magic eyes work, but your eyes have to actually be magic like mine.

I imagine constellations were much more compelling when you could see all the stars in the sky. I once found myself driving through the middle of nowhere in Montana and South Dakota overnight and I was gobsmacked at all the stars I could see. Light pollution is a motherfucker.

I grew up in the middle of a bunch of midwest corn fields. I saw all those drat stars and constellations are still unimpressive. Don't know why ancient people didn't just figure out directions using the compass on their phones and poo poo. It's like they were trying to make things harder on themselves.

If you can look up into the sky and see constellations you are gifted enough to decipher magic eye images. Sorry I don't make the rules here.

BigHead posted:Just the other night I spent an hour showing constellations to my eighty year old father in law, who spent his entire life in dense cities and just never saw stars. Orion is the best because it's easy to find, actually looks like something, contains stars that are themselves interesting, and forms a guide to find other constellations. Like, follow a line through the belt down and to the left and you'll be at Sirius, the nose of canis major. Do the same with the shoulders/hands and you find Gemini. Between the two is canis minor, which is complete bullshit: it's literally just two stars.

If you Google up cross view stereograms there are a poo poo ton of the easier cross-eyes versions of both magic eyes and photographic stereograms

Cross-eye ones on the other hand take a lot of effort and give me a headache.

Wasabi the J posted:The joke is that they are unfinished constellations my dude. Fake news. Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille named it in 1756, and he was quite serious. quote:L'attelier du Sculpteur : il est composé d'un scabellon qui porte un modèle, & d'un bloc de marbre sur lequel on a posé un maillet & un ciseau. quote:The Sculptor's workshop: it is composed of a stool that supports a model, and a block of marble on which a mallet and a chisel have been set. It’s not some jumble of parts. He intends us to see the stool, the marble, the mallet, and the chisel. Compare to the description of Microscopium: quote:The Microscope: according to its usual representation, it is a tube placed on top of a square box. Microscopium is itself fairly bullshit, but the “unfinished constellations” excuse cannot apply there.

In the northern hemisphere, you can sight along the two stars of the big dipper opposite the handle and find Polaris, so you can figure out which way is north if you're lost in the wilderness or at sea.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:3D images actually have a dedicated left and right side. So if you can "get it in an instant" with a crosseye trick, but the image goes inward, you can take the image into an image editor, swap the pics from left to right and vice versa, and then they'll appear with the proper depth. That's interesting. I never could see them when on posters at the mall but once they started showing up in the Sunday newspaper comics section I finally figured it out. I still have a collection of them that I cut out and saved as well as a book. But, if it was compared to making a mold of something, I usually see the mold or negative instead of the object it formed where it's coming out of the page rather than looking into it with depth as you mention. Sometimes certain webpages will have that effect on me, too, where the background is a certain color and the font another. The letters then stick out a bit from the screen. So, I have no idea why that happens other than something similar where each eye or brain half focuses on separate things? I've tried a few on their webpage and still have the negative/mold effect rather than seeing into the image for the 3d shape using the cross eye or close up methods. https://www.magiceye.com/ edit: I can see this with depth: https://i.imgur.com/W9jkGoq.mp4 but this is reverse: https://i.imgur.com/ghPk6n1.mp4 AzureSkys has a new favorite as of 13:38 on May 8, 2022 |

The black/white one you posted is weird because I see it with depth with both methods.

magic eyes are like necker cubes the depth is brain-arbitrary. if you can see the image it doesnt really matter if it pops 'in' or 'out' imo, its seeing it all thats the trick

The gently caress? It's weird enough that Earth does that occasionally, but the central black hole of an entire loving galaxy? EDIT: God, am I have a stroke or does this contain random words that make no sense quote:This has been attributed to the abrupt alteration successful the achromatic hole's magnetic field. While stars are known for magnetic reversal, that's not believed to beryllium the lawsuit with black holes. Our Sun reverses its magnetic tract each 11 years. But a achromatic spread is expected to beryllium much unchangeable successful this regard. Megillah Gorilla has a new favorite as of 16:42 on May 9, 2022 |

I assume that is an automatic translator, transalting "lawyer" for "case" "achromatic" for "black" and "beryllium" for "be" Or, perhaps, one of those automatic "anti plagiarism" things that just swaps out synonyms for random words.

Words seem to be getting automatically switched in some absurd way. Beryllium = be, lawsuit = case, successfully = surrounding or something. Edit: it seems to beryllium the lawsuit that I've been beaten
