I'm unable to view them myself but my wife loves them and she approves of that one (she really struggled with the other two)

I can't actually cross my eyes, I just let them relax and become unfocused.

Interesting to have exactly opposite abilities. Crossing is easy, but I can relax my eyes and blur things only a little, and not that much. I suppose there's a gene somewhere for this. Interesting way for it to vary anyway.

Since this stuff is on a screen though, I can focus on something behind me in its reflection and that blurs it enough, but then it's tricky to switch from the reflection to the image and still keep it.

This one is nice!

Looks like a heart with a word inside, MOM I think

Edit: By the way, I wasn't really kidding about doing these for more than a few hours non-stop, haha. Your eyes will just habituate to staying crossed and it's work to get them to uncross again.

I'm informed that it's A heart with an arrow through it and an appropriately lumpy TTLG in the middle

is there some secret US/UK holiday going on where everybody drinks too much? because I can't make heads or tails of this thread.

but maybe that's because I drank too much.

maybe I should check out whether I can see 3D pictures correctly now that I'm half-drunk (should be easier to cross my eyes), because I never can when I'm sober...

The first half of the thread was going on in tandem with a thread on the Facebook Group, since we were encouraged to not just stop posting on TTLG if we were posting over there. ... Well that still doesn't really explain what was being posted though. We were really just shit posting to get a funneh ball rolling. Of course nothing kills the joke faster than explaining it... But then we got the Magic Pics to distract us anyw... ohhh 3D. :o

I had a tiny lump once, when I was a teenager.

Then I popped that zit and the lump went away the next day.

What a coincidence, I had a large lump as a teen that never went away no matter how many times I popped it.

I was going to ask if it was in his skull and shaped like a brain, but then I wanted to be all nice guy and shit so refrained.

Never worked for me. I can cross eyes on command but that never seems to do anything? How long do I have to stare that way?

Does 3D cinema work for you? Cos it doesn't for me, and neither do these pictures. Took me a couple decades (literally) to realize it, but I can't see 3D and so I can't see those pictures, either. Or maybe those two issues are separate, but they're definitely related.

Vivian on 14/5/2012 at 10:22

Yeah, my mates girlfriend has exactly the same thing, can't resolve the 3D images at all. I think it's like a slight astigmatism or something. Really pisses them off because, for instance, there was only like one cinema in London showing the Avengers in 2D. Need to get yourself some of these bad-boys: (http://www.2d-glasses.com/)

(I love that those things exist)

I can't see the Magic Eye pictures either, but I do see 3D and 3D movies work for me. I just can't seem to cross or relax my eyes in the right way to see the Magic Eye pictures.

demagogue: yeah I got that it was in relationship to what Aerothorn posted on Facebook. I wasn't being very serious myself, I had a little to drink and that was my kind of lame attempt at humor.
