Last night, FO said my hands smelled like poop. We have ravioli last night and I had some tomato sauce on my hands. I said that, and then she said, "Well, tomato sauce can smell like poop." I dunno. When tomato sauce has been left out for awhile, it starts to get a "poopy" odor to it. Sometimes, it can make me feel really nauseaus. It's especially bad if it dries onto a plate or pot and then you wet it to clean it. BTW, on the subject of being able to read the sentences with all the typos... I mentioned something about that a long time ago, here. |

I think this optical illusion is awesome.
The "green" and "blue" swirls are in fact the same color.
If you use the computer, you can easily tell that the colors are the same. If I concentrate hard at the picture itself (but without using any other tricks) I can see some blue in the green swirl and some green in the blue swirl.
I wonder how far you can push an illusion like that. If I take the negative, for example, the illusion still works, only now one of the swirls appears to be red while the other one appears to be purple.

That's really cool. If you look at just the bottom 10 pixels or so you can clearly see they're the same color.

Because I noticed this myself, I don't know if this is a monitor issue or an after effect optical illusion, but when I go to this page and scroll up and down, there's a yellow flash at the bottom of the
boxes where they change color.

The "green" and "blue" swirls are in fact the same color.=/ I'm only seeing green and magenta swirls with weird lines going through them that I can't determine the color of. I don't see how it's possible that it's all the same color... "No one can withstand

Maybe it's your monitor. It seems like it alternates a green swirl and a magenta swirl. Every magenta swirl has orange lines going through it. But every
other green swirl alternates magenta and orange lines going through them. This makes the ones with the magenta lines appear blue and the orange lines appear
green.

I see green swirl, magenta swirl, green swirl, magenta swirl... and weird orangish-yellowish-whitish lines going through the entire image. Maybe it is my
monitor...or I need new glasses or something.

So, I have no idea what body odor is. Of course, I can feel dirty, but that's based completely on touch, not scent. So deodorant is a weird thing for me.
I have no idea if it "works", but it makes me feel dirty because having that gunk in my armpits feels unpleasant and unclean. Consequently,
I've recently switched to Axe spray deodorant. I can taste the alcohol in it when I spray it, but otherwise it's transparent to me. On the other
hand, I have no idea if that "works", either. They could replace it with a placebo and I wouldn't know.

I'm on a different monitor and can see the difference now. I guess that other one was just too burned in. I do have some trouble with seeing certain light
colors against other light colors sometimes. In that Atari 2600 screenshot of Street Racer that FO posted in another topic, it took me a moment to even notice
there was anything on the one side of the screen.

Was Rembrandt Stereoblind?
I don't know how compelling the arguments there are, since I believe even people who are not stereoblind have dominant eyes. I think I do. On the other hand, from that article Stereoblindness would help any artist whose first goal, in rendering the world, is to acknowledge the flatness of a blank sheet of paper, said Dr. Conway, who is also an artist. "Where does one start?" he said. "The real world is so richly three-dimensional, it's hard to convey that richness of depth on paper."That's a weird thing to say, I think. I don't really see the world as "richly" three dimensional. I've said many times before, magic eyes and 3D movies look much more 3D to me than real life (sometimes, after looking at magic eyes for a while, real life looks a bit more three dimensional) Maybe it's possible that, due to having a dominant eye, I really don't see the world as 3D as others do, unless I do something unusual, like when I look at a magic eye? I'm not sure if that's possible, since, according to what I'm reading, the ability to see in 3D is developed when you're less than 2 years old, so if you don't develop it automatically, without concentrating, you won't develop it. FacilityPro has said he can't see Magic Eyes. I don't know if he meant that he was literally stereoblind, or just couldn't get the trick to work. I think a lot of people just can't get it to work. I probably was aware of Magic Eyes for 10 years before I got them to work.

I believe I may actually be at least a bit stereo blind. I've mentioned in the past that I can't get things like 3D movies or magic eyes to work very
well. I don't think it helps me as an artist at all, though, as it makes it harder to get things like proportions and perspective right.

I got the impression from what I briefly read that stereoblindness was an either/or thing, you have it or you don't, but I could be wrong.
On that subject, one thing I don't believe I mentioned yet in this topic is tone deafness. Sometimes people are called "tone deaf" if they can't sing, or play an instrument, but that has more to do with not being practiced. Literal tone deafness, which is actually amusia, is very rare. Oddly enough, Che Guevara is reputed to have had amusia. People with amusia have described music as "sounding like the banging of pots and pans." However, even amusia might not be completely black/white either/or. Even people with amusia might be able to tell the difference in pitch between two different notes -- the notes might just have to be pretty far (like two whole steps) apart.

I also wonder if things like TV, videogames, computers, and movies -- having people, for long periods of time, for much of their lives, look at 2D images on
flat screens -- could cause people of our generation to be less stereo acute.

I think that alone could prevent a person from seeing random dot stereograms -- though probably not pattern-based stereograms. Colorblindness itself is interesting. People can develop color-blindness. If someone is born color-blind, then I would assume they would be unable to imagine what another color would look like, even though other colors exist and their brain is theoretically capable of visualizing it. However, if someone develops color-blindness, is their ability to mentally imagine colors retained, or could it fade?

I think that alone could prevent a person from seeing random dot stereograms -- though probably not pattern-based stereograms.I don't think this is true, since I used a computer to convert some stereograms to black and white, and could still see them in 3D. Anyway, I read about a guy who CAN smell, but usually does NOT, because he has so many head colds or something. What's interesting is that he claims to be utterly unable to recall or even imagine smells he is not currently smelling. If he smells something but doesn't know what it is, he can't identify it by thinking about other times he might have smelled it because he just can't bring those experiences to mind. Maybe there's a cause and effect relationship between rarely being able to smell (or use a sense) and lacking some neurological ability to think about that sense.
