Ow my eyes!
I like this a lot. Moving your head, keeping your head still, moving closer, moving moderately further away, nothing works.
Only way I can get them to stay proper circles is to move far enough away I can’t make out the tilt of the boxes, and even then it’s a gradual process as the tilt becomes more and more indistinct.
If I follow the paths I can locate the circles, otherwise they get all tangled together. I’m gonna go ice my eyes now.
Why is my brain so weird, damn.
Every one of these reinforces to me why science is so necessary: we can’t trust our individual perceptions.
