This is also the only way it works for me. I can't see magic eyes any way other than inverted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know what it was because I checked it out before reading @SuperSpreader's post and I spotted the elephant right away...inverted, but still saw it right away. The crossed eye technique is pretty instant for me. I just slowly cross my eyes until something comes into focus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Those don't work for me because I had surgery for amblyopia. Watch 3D movies doesn't work for me much either because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The images always sink in and have depth, they never project out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the right focal length, the image begins to pop outwards, rather than sink into the page. It's never worked right for me because my eyes don't really focus in a normal way. Crossing my eyes allows me to see the image perfectly, even if it is inverted. Why Can't Some People See Magic Eye Pictures?

My vision has always been very good but my right eye is starting to get a little fuzzy now that I’m in my 40’s. I’ll probably need glasses by the time I hit 45.

TwinIon Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 I very much dislike Meta/FB, but I think the market is overreacting here. Their YoY numbers were still up for 2021, it was just the last three months of the year that their daily active users fell by 0.026%. I understand any failure to continue growing is bad, but they're going to remain a wildly profitable company for the foreseeable future, even if they continue to spend billions on a potentially ill fated metaverse play. They had a net income of nearly $40 Billion last year even after spending $10B on reality labs. I'll happily root for their downfall, but I don't think we're nearly there yet.

That's some wild bullshit. When I first saw the 17.5% floated around, I thought that was Facebook almost cutting their commission in half to try to kickstart the platform return devs. I didn't realize they were putting that 17.5% on TOP of the 30% they already take through purchases made on their platform.

legend Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I wonder what Facebook will do next to make me dislike them even more than I do now. On the one hand, it’s hard to imagine disliking them more. But on the other hand they have a solid track record of finding new ways to be awful.
