Made this many years ago in the usenet days. It took a little work to figure out how to get the words to pop cleanly.

I can usually do these no problem but this one was a real struggle (on Mobile). If you’re having issues:
- I had to hold the phone much further away than I thought.
- Hold your phone so that your fingers aren’t on the left and right sides of the image (ie hold it by the bottom)
Yeah doing this one on Mobile is a pain. to help people out I put guide marks on to help. Cross the eyes until you have three Xs perfectly parallel with the more solid one in the middle.
This was typed up before mobile devices were a thing so it was built for a 15+ inch screen.
This is great. I’ve never seen an ascii one before. Well done to your younger self.
Always surprises me when I see them. Like why does my brain do this…
Wow this is insane.
What’s crazier is that it seems to work at three different levels of eye unfocusedness, idk how tf you made this work.
It took a bit of research to figure out how to pull it off. Making the words pop was easy. Making them not have fuzzy edges required inventing one weird trick.
I would like to learn how to do this. Could you teach me?
Yes. The key thing is to find words that meet a very specific rule. You need a word that you can add a letter to the front and get a valid word. And it also needs to be a word where you can add a letter to the end and still have a valid word. For example “rat” can become “brat” and “rats”.
Depending on the size of the finished piece you are probably only going to be able to get two to four words of 3d text per line. Place the “brat” and “rats” word on either side of it.
The text that is going to pop needs to repeat across the whole line of text. Use the example here to figure out how many times. Put the buffer words on each side of each repeat
Work on just the popping text first. Figure out what spacing of repeats works best. Then add the lorem lpsum junk text equivalent to fill in the blanks. That should get you started.
