this wins.
I don't get it
I know this may come as a shock to some people
(...unfortunately)
but things look smaller when they are further away.
Holy shit
Can you explain why when I look away and then back the objects reappear? I try not to look away from things I care about in case they don’t come back.
I just don’t know how to know when things will reappear when I look again or not.
Yeah it's just our simulation using foveated rendering
Oh, that, yeah that's just lazy writing.
Google occlusion culling
That's what i keep telling my gf
My husband has some dumb saying - objects behind you may feel larger than they actually are- something like that.
Aw yeah giggity
Knew it would be Father Ted without clicking
Thank you, this sent me down a very enjoyable father Ted Rabbit hole. I haven't watched in years
Show them this. They'll be so confused they forget to eat and starve. Together, we'll have made the world a better place.
These people vote too
'Merica!
These are the same ppl I drive down the highway with
PSA: it's now practically Winter here in the northern hemisphere. Be aware that everyone you see driving with their front, side, and/or rear windows covered in ice, is someone that thinks that full visibility in those directions is optional. If you've ever wondered why it seems like you're sharing the road with crazy people, take a moment to observe the portion of the population telling on themselves. Stay safe out there.
Someone once told me their friend smoked weed and they were walking down a hallway when the friend suddenly stopped, looked down the hallway, and said "no no, I can't fit, look how small it is, I can't fit". They had to persuade him he'd fit down the hallway when they kept walking.
I hope they didn't tell him "don't worry, you'll get smaller too". Or maybe I hope they did lol
i miss not having a tolerance lol
This guy has some real perspective on the matter.
What a dumbass. It's probably just a visual artifact brought on by the cold ravioli.
Perspective you say?
(Can't beat Leela though)
These same people you drive down the highway with also believe that a magical being sitting in a cloud overhead will save them ... and only them ... when they decide to jump three lanes at the last minute to make it to the off ramp they forgot to take.
A bad driver never misses an exit.
They usually only ever miss once
This is too unbelievable to accept that it isn't pathological.
Eating cold ravioli?? In bed???
As one does
It's okay because the corresponding part of the door frame is bigger 👍
Me gusta
