I have no context for this example, have a link? I’ve seen the crazy kitchen at the Museum of Science and Tech in Ottawa that has a similarly themed illusion, but in that one the floors are level but painted in a way that tricks your brain into thinking its angled, but its not, which is 100% illusion.

Thus what I am imagining for your example is that the floor is in fact angled, but the paint makes it look straight, so the short person is infact elevated above the tall person in a way you cannot tell, creating an effect where perspective due to a physical difference makes you think they are on the same level but the illusion provided by the floor messes with that, creating an illusion that is really just perspective.

But there is no trick in this post. You know you’re tilting the phone, there’s no illusion. Its pure angles and you’re completely aware of what is occuring, thus no illusion. The definition of illusion is pretty clear, what you are seeing must be false or erroneous.

noun

1. An erroneous perception of reality.

   “Mirrors gave the illusion of spaciousness.”

2. An erroneous concept or belief.

   “The notion that money can buy happiness is an illusion.”

3. The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief.

   “spent months flailing about in illusion.”

Haha, ok I can agree with that take.

Illusion is seeing something that isn’t there. They can be caused by multiple factors be it one affecting the observer or one that arises from the subject being observed.

This demonstrates perspective and at no point do you see something that is not there. The text is there, it says the same thing. It does not appear to move or distort but rather as you tilt the phone the same light is viewed from a narrower height due to angles and it can be read as though it is not stretched.

An optical illusion makes you see something that simply does not exist, for example this picture that makes you think you see red in spite of there being jo red at all. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a25494/theres-not-a-single-red-pixel-in-this-image/

Is perspective really considered an “illusion”? While this demonstrates perspective it at no point makes me see something that isn’t real.

Squid or Cthulu Snail?

Thanks!

Super hard to order in Canada unless you find an american distributor, which defeats the point.

Truth.

You forgot Tubgirl

Lack of respect China has had for global markets?! What a self-unaware egostical asshat.

Or y’know, give Canada somewhere else to sell theirs.

Lol. Pretty sure they meant IA. Not sure isopropyl is supposed to be shortened to two letters.

Nobody doing the math on the number of seats that “province” would have? All other provinces would lose their power. You think the pull Ontario and Quebec have is bad? Hooo boy.

I dunno man she’s been sending me pics of herself getting all hydrated and wild.

Trashy romance novels are also apparently entertaining but that doesn’t make them good literature. Twilight may be entertaining but the terrible grammar, word choice and plot make it a joke. Its the reality TV of novels.

Assume spherical poo in a vaccuum.

He’s going to make potato chip resistors to get the right number of course.

Well then, that just makes their misdirection worse.

Safeway is an american grocery store. They are not your friend and they will be on the side of American companies. That they are doing this is unsurprising.

Its a bit odd to suggest Nextcloud for Google Drive but then leave it off the replacement list for photos and Docs. Use the Memories App in Nextcloud ans add Collabora and you have those features in Nextcloud too. News app = Google Reader, RePod+AntennaPod = Google Podcasts, Nextcloud Talk instead of Google Meet and Zoom. (just add cloud hosted stun/tun server for performance video chat when hosting from home.)
