My time has come!

The above stereographic image is for cross-eyed viewing (most stereograms are wall-eyed, so you may need to put your finger in front of your screen until this one comes into focus)

This is an image of Honolulu, Hawaii, published by NASA. Note Diamond Head (the volcanic crater) in the south.

Here are some other stereopairs published by JPL:


Wheeler Ridge, California


Mount Saint Helens


Salt Lake Valley, Utah


Wellington, New Zealand

I know the definitions. The cross-eyed method is way easier for me than the wall-eyed one. It's not that I don't want to believe you, friend. I'm just reporting what I saw. Did you check the picks yourself with both methods? I did.

Yes, I made the second set. I have been looking at the originals since I found them months ago. Here, let's do a test. jmol generated this image as "cross-eyed". Do you agree?

This works perfectly for me with the cross-eyed approach, yes.

No disrespect meant when I asked if you tested your pictures. You know, it IS possible to swich the pictutes without testing, so it made sense to ask.

Thanks for being patient and troubleshooting my apparent viewing anomaly.

Very strange, because I can move from this image of PCl5 directly to the honolulu image in the OP and it works just fine. Meanwhile, if I move from there to the "are you not entertained" image, it makes the images go into the page, since they're wall-eyed images.

Hi, I checked the crossed-eye system again. I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong, but I still see mountains in the top photos as holes. I tried it on other people and they saw it just like me. I wonder what we're doing differently. There must be some bizzare anomaly and we're comunicating across realities with different geometry or something. I hope you're doing great in your distant world where things make sense and NASA photos work just as intended! Greetings from here - where everything's fucked up.

I think I'd take bizarro world where chirality is wrong over the timeline I'm in, where the president of the united states is a rotting fascist mango and the world has at most 100 years before human civilaization can no longer exist.
