They do work. It takes some practice to get them though. At first I used a pencil or something to focus on while I made the two dots merge together, stayed focussed on the pencil until my brain “saw” the image behind it, then it sort of locked in and I could take the pencil away. I’ve done so many of them now that I can just go crosseyed to bring the dots together, then look at the middle picture.

The 3D image works by tricking your brain into seeing a third image that isn’t really there. We’re used to constructing 3D images from two slightly different views; we do it all the time, so the two images are slightly different and when overlaid use the same mechanism to make you think it’s 3D.

Yes, but then where would we be without all those endless squabbles about X which are easily solved by pointing out that A::X != B::X?

He’d just grab it by the cloaca.

If you use too many parentheses you might have a lisp.

Simple. We let them get away with it. Compare:

“Your PC is out of date” “Don’t be stupid, it’s only 2 years old and still works fine” with

“Your phone is out of date” “OK I’ll buy a new one”.

There needs to be a lot more of Answer A to Statement B.

Maybe it’s a Samsung phone and a “Made in USA” sticker, shipped in as components and stuck together in the USA, thus fulfilling both “designed” and “made” in USA even though there are some foreign-made components (2). Then onshore those components bit by bit until the process is complete.

Technically that’s 100% buffering.

Oops! Thank you :-)

I once got rid of ants by leaving a small pile of sugar out for them.

I like to think the ants that found it took it back to the nest and said “hey guys look what we found!” then got “don’t be so stupid! humans never do that! It’s obviously a trap, don’t ever go back there”
