At this point, Twitter and BlueSky are virtually identical, except there's a bit more public info about users. So maybe it's worse? In any event, the whole plan all along was to create the illusion of difference and "starting over" by simply swapping a platform. Fascinating how gullible most people are.
I love trompe l'oeil! Here we have a realistic fellow poking his head through a canvas, and seeming to declare that a resemblance is guaranteed.
The artist is unknown, but it's thought that this is taking a dig at photography; "Resemblance guaranteed" was almost a cliche of early portrait photographers. The paintbrush in his hand, and the fact that he's looking at us through a canvas, I think tells us the artist is in favor of painting.
Hello Mastodon! I have created a simple #auditory#illusion as a demo for the kind of effect I'm investigating, and would love your feedback! Here's the gist: you will first hear a "aba" sound and "a ada" sound, followed by a series of sounds in a weird background noise, then the exact same series of sounds in quiet... Please give it a try and let me know what you think! #AuditoryIllusion#psychoacoustics#psycholinguistics@psychology@psycholinguistics
OK, That is super cute, and well animated too! That spirit totally qualifies for the #illusion tag. Thank you for sharing this. If you can, please edit your title to give Gagame credit for this.
#kurzgesagt mit einem ziemlichen Brainfuck für 10 Minuten. Noch schräger als die Story vom Film #Matrix. 🤯
"Absolut alles, was du über dich selbst & das Universum zu wissen meinst, könnte eine #Illusion sein. Soweit du weißt, bist du echt und existierst in einem #Universum, das vor 14 Milliarden Jahren entstanden ist, und daraus dann #Galaxien, #Sterne, die Erde und du. Aber vielleicht auch nicht."
So I was experimenting with text stuff, and realized that if I full screen and have this zoomed to fit my screen, that looking from the + to the = and back will make the whole thing look grey!
L'artiste sud-africain Strijdom van der Merwe façonne les matériaux en un art géométrique qui vient compléter l'environnement. Son « escalier vers le paradis » est une illusion d'optique simple mais impressionnante. J'adore 🥰
