I just hoarded this gif

At first glance I thought your username was the name for this burger.

Exactly the same take in Canada right now. With the added annexation threats, most Canadians that aren’t far right nuts will boycott the american brand for the rest of their lives, tarrifs be damned.

I watched a 3 hour video the other day about how this has killed affordable PC computing in the US, and there’s no undoing the damage now. The effect is on a time delay based on the material supply chain and will hit soon.

Thats because for some ungodly reason they use Apple Maps. Not sure why they dont integrat with an OpenStreetMaps like service. At least that way users can start contributing to fill the gaps

Even more unaffordable for an American. They need to have bankroll to survive a year without income and that includes covering possible medical expenses for 3 months. I have friends who have wanted to move here for years and the hurdles are large even with skills and secondary education. Only those with highly in demand educated skills get an easier path.

Engineer your design in FreeCAD and tweak it before you build.

I’ve never seen the sensors on mine miss, 2022 vehicle though. In fact my brights sometimes turn off for any red light along the road and reflective signs.

That said, the LED headlights without the brights on are bright enough and people constantly think the brights are on when they are not. I always think about the brights and am at the ready to manually disable them.

The headlights themselves are too bright, and there’s no lower lumen off-white options it seems. Just full boar white. It used to be you weren’t allowed to install headlights this bright, but then billionaires paid and lobbied for rules to allow a pass if the vehicles rolled off the lot with them, and 20 years later… here we are. Not even sure the old rule still exists in any form.

Gotta scoop all the data from everywhere on your machine, even the temporary notes you don’t save.

I’m not trolling. This is simply not an illusion.

Ok those rooms are certainly illusions. My mind was tricked and even after reading how they work I still cannot quite see how when I watch the video. A perfect illusion.

I still wouldn’t call the post for this thread an illusion as there is no trick, just pure perspective. You simply tilt your phone, you see what is happening, and you understand it because its basic physics you were taught in elementary.

This is like the amateur magician. A trickster that knows a few party tricks but is so bad at executing them they are no illusionist. But a master magician uses simple things like perspective and skill to create tricks that are such great illusions that the scientific mind cannot quite work out what has really just happened even though they know it’s a trick. This post is the amateur magician, the Ames room is the master. Both use perspective but in different ways on different levels.

There is nothing erroneous about this perception.

I have no context for this example, have a link? I’ve seen the crazy kitchen at the Museum of Science and Tech in Ottawa that has a similarly themed illusion, but in that one the floors are level but painted in a way that tricks your brain into thinking its angled, but its not, which is 100% illusion.

Thus what I am imagining for your example is that the floor is in fact angled, but the paint makes it look straight, so the short person is infact elevated above the tall person in a way you cannot tell, creating an effect where perspective due to a physical difference makes you think they are on the same level but the illusion provided by the floor messes with that, creating an illusion that is really just perspective.

But there is no trick in this post. You know you’re tilting the phone, there’s no illusion. Its pure angles and you’re completely aware of what is occuring, thus no illusion. The definition of illusion is pretty clear, what you are seeing must be false or erroneous.

noun

1. An erroneous perception of reality.

   “Mirrors gave the illusion of spaciousness.”

2. An erroneous concept or belief.

   “The notion that money can buy happiness is an illusion.”

3. The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief.

   “spent months flailing about in illusion.”

Haha, ok I can agree with that take.

Illusion is seeing something that isn’t there. They can be caused by multiple factors be it one affecting the observer or one that arises from the subject being observed.

This demonstrates perspective and at no point do you see something that is not there. The text is there, it says the same thing. It does not appear to move or distort but rather as you tilt the phone the same light is viewed from a narrower height due to angles and it can be read as though it is not stretched.

An optical illusion makes you see something that simply does not exist, for example this picture that makes you think you see red in spite of there being jo red at all. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a25494/theres-not-a-single-red-pixel-in-this-image/

Is perspective really considered an “illusion”? While this demonstrates perspective it at no point makes me see something that isn’t real.

Squid or Cthulu Snail?

Thanks!

Super hard to order in Canada unless you find an american distributor, which defeats the point.

Truth.
