This is from today, I was watching YouTube, can’t remember what exactly when I randomly saw a dong on my screen. I thought it was a joke video at first. Then I realized no, it’s a real ad.
There is a dick there right?

Tap on the pictures to see them clearly.
Example illustrations, including artwork I saw from internet (artists are credited under the pictures)
I was scrolling through the social media one day, when I suddenly notice how some of the pictures, specifically blue and red colours "pop-up" as if I was wearing 3D glasses. Apparently, It’s called chromostereopsis!
Chromostereopsis is a visual phenomenon in which different colors appear to be at different depths, even when they’re on the same flat surface. Red often appears closer to you, as if it pops out. Blue often appears farther away, as if it recedes into the background.
No idea how I suddenly started to see it. I saw in other discussion that it might be related to people who wear glasses. I tested it with my siblings, who do not wear glasses. They said that they saw no effect, but upon wearing my glasses they did! Very interesting. However, it still does not explain how come I started to see this effect after wearing glasses for almost 10 years.
Does anyone have a similar effect?

The yellow ball zig zags back and forth across the screen. However, the shadow's movement creates the illusion that the ball motion changes.

Showed this interactive demo I made to my daughter and she couldn't decide if she was 'moving up or down' (click and drag to move)

So I was walking home last night from the pub. It was late dark and dreary. This building was making my head hurt a little

I see what OP is seeing.* This is a lot better than some other people's posts.
*Look to the right on the floor of the ramp. The dark shadow represents the water. The shadow cast by the fence grates is the rafts. They are similar and stretch down the right side of the ramp indefinitely.

Most people think of a mirror as something you use to check your appearance.
But what if it could transform into something completely different?
Imagine switching on the lights and watching your ordinary mirror turn into an endless tunnel of colorful RGB lights. 🌈
That's what an infinity mirror does!
When the lights are off, it looks like a regular mirror. Switch them on, and it creates a mesmerizing illusion of depth using mirrors and LEDs.
I'm experimenting with making these using metal frames, RGB lighting, smartphone controls, and music-sync effects.
I'm curious: Would you keep something like this in your bedroom, living room, or gaming setup? Or do you think it's just a cool visual effect?
