Let’s see how good the image compression is on Mastodon.

(FWIW this works better on matte screens)

@ernie Hey, neato, a sailboat! With a kitty cat on…no, wait, two kitties on board!

@isocat Not quite but I appreciate your imagination :)

@ernie It's all I got; these 'stare-eo' things have never, ever worked for me.

@ernie I get what looks like a large serif "T" with a waterfall coming off the top right arm?
Show threadErnie SmithFeb 26
@_thegeoff not sure about the waterfall but the T is legit. Supposed to be the Tedium logo.
Show threadGeoff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Feb 26
@ernie Ah, my eyes were maybe making a connection between the T and . that wasn't there. (Or, as you say, compression artefact?)
Show threadErnie SmithFeb 26
@_thegeoff totally possible! This was just me messing around to be honest
Show threadGeoff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Feb 26
@ernie Had another look and this is (a rough example) of what I'm definitely seeing. Chunk out of the "." and "waterfall" off the T are definitely there. Interesting!

@ernie –

Oh. Yeah, I'm definitely getting a vertical line extending upward from the dot to the T's upper-right serif.

@Starfia @ernie I remember first seeing a magic eye pic in a high school physics class in the mid 90s. Definitely chalking this up as a "transferable skill" 🤣
