It’s two Romulan warbirds. I’m sure someone else can back me up for the non-believers.

          They work by shut up and watch that’s how.

          Fireworks work by igniting metals and salts using gunpowder. All those components should work in a vacuum.

          Usually the propellant and other combustion materials will include an oxidizer, so an atmosphere really isn’t required.

          I don’t know how the Cardassians would do it, but Starfleet would just put colored gunpowder in a torpedo casing.

            That’s how I’d want them to dispose of me, if I died in the Star Trek universe. I mean, they already launch some of their dead people into space, in torpedo-casings. Just pack as much gunpowder as you can, around my corpse, and set that shit to detonate.

          How come the Sun stays lit even though there’s no oxygen in space? O.o

    I can’t find the common frame of reference to let my eyes rest/lock on this one. Too much repetition. Being on mobile probably isn’t helping.

      I zoomed in just a tad on mobile.

      Took a while to find “the lock”, more than usually with these. (I spend hours looking at them as a kid.) Once I got it though, it stuck really well.

      !The ship in the top right corner looks like an apple though, dk if its supposed to be a Borg sphere or what!<

        I will take your word for it lol. I just tried again a few times and now my eyes hurt.

        And side note, spoiler tag syntax is different on Lemmy. Instead of

        >!text!<
        

        It’s

        ::: spoiler Button text   
        hidden text  
        :::
        
        Like this

        I can’t really think of anything witty right now… best I can come up with is “beef stew.” I think my imagination is broken.

        I’m not sure which apps or front ends support what. I use Voyager and that only got spoiler support recently.

        (Unless the Lemmy markdown guidelines changed again, in which case ignore me, I’m behind)

    Thanks for reminding me I have astigmatism 😤

      Is THAT why I’ve literally never been able to see these???

        My astigmatism is pretty bad and I’ve never had any problem seeing these.

      How does that matter? I have astigmatism and can usually see these with literally no effort. The thing making this one difficult is the border.

    I don’t think I’ve ever done a magic eye on a smartphone before.

    Being able to zoom in and out adds a whole to dimension to it…

      Same here. Had to zoom in to get a fix on it, and then zoom back out to see what I was looking at. I’m surprised at how well it worked!

      Scaled down to fit a computer screen they get way worse.

      But they are just a couple of Romulan ships.

      I remember people trying to do it as a kid by putting their noses in the books, and it confused the hell out of me. But then when I’d explain how to do it, they acted like I was muttering moon speak.

      But what I do is just make repeating shapes overlap. Like, have you ever made your fingers overlap (by crossing your eyes)? Or played with the double images of things near your face while looking at something in the background?

      You just do that so that neighbouring copies of image elements overlap.

      Do you have extremely unbalanced vision in your eyes? Even with corrective lenses that can keep you from being able to stitch the images together properly for your brain to interpret the 3D image.

        Yes I looked this up after commenting and that’s why, I have astigmatism, and one eye is better than the other. So that’s why they don’t work on me

    Ok, managed to see it properly for once. What’s the 3rd object in the top right? Just a planet?

      I think so. Honestly, I didn’t even notice it until you pointed it out, I thought it was just part of the border.

    Is this a parallel eyes one? I can only do crosseyed and couldn’t see it.

    I.e. I was looking in front of the screen but you need to look behind it for this one I think.

    • @Areldyb

      If you look at it cross-eyed it should be the same image, just inverted (things that should be closer to you are further away instead).

    Goddammit, I knew I shouldn’t have looked on eBay, just to see how much that poster is.

    I am NOT spending 130 goddamn dollars on that fucking poster.

    But I need you all to understand that I desperately WANT to do exactly that.

    I can see the thing, but I don’t know what it is
