Do you see a series of sunken rectangles or 16 circles?

This is The Coffer Illusion.

Our brains are geared toward identifying objects & here, “pixels” are grouped to form edges & contours, shapes, & objects. The image is inherently ambiguous so there is no “right” grouping.

Rectangles dominate first for most people - including me, but keep staring & the image may flip to circles.

If you had the time to go back to school to study any field at no cost, what would you choose?

You can’t make a Fallout 1 remake with auto save.

Losing hours of progress is half of the game.

Remembering when this Tomb Raider came out, and thinking, Wow, game graphics can't get much better than this!

I perform some software testing at the company for which I work.

Two weeks ago I found our software pleasant enough to use.

Today I upgraded via Test Flight, and it was a complete downgrade.

A dev implemented a “secret tap” to switch access to some static API URLs, and it’s just thrown everything off. Because I have no feedback of which “mode” I’m in and if I’m in the wrong “mode” it will make everything unusable.

Fascinating when a total stranger on here links out one of my posts to talk about how I'm a terrible person and all the men who follow and reply to me are just here to educate me. Lmfao I wonder what the difference is. I wonder if I made my profile pic an equation what they would infer instead.

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

Okay, but does the world actually need Star Wars branded coffee?

Anyone ever see the 80s film “Night of the Comet?”

That’s what this G4 geomagnetic storm is going to do to Canada.

Kelli Maroney as Samantha Belmont in the film “Night of the Comet” taking over a DJ booth and announcing “I’ll be taking requests from all you teenage comet zombies.”

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

Product placement in an action sequence from an animated X-Men show has me shaken to my core. Is everything an ad? Is this post an ad? Am I an ad?

I refuse to get pregnant, because even though no one will admit it, I'm pretty sure that fetus controls you from the inside like I'm a mech suit for it.
