grady's mom is zooming hot

Calling All Creeps! (contenderizer), Saturday, 10 January 2009 07:07 (fifteen years ago) link

my mom: she's going anti-clockwise
(five seconds later)
my mom: now she's going the other way

what does that mean "centrally brained"?

Fran Dreschantino (tron), Saturday, 10 January 2009 07:11 (fifteen years ago) link

That's head-explosingly great, that.

generally brained

warmsherry, Saturday, 10 January 2009 18:30 (fifteen years ago) link

I didn't see this before, but I am totally left-brained, I can not get her to go the other way...

Except when there is three of them! Then they are all over the place.

I never saw a picture in a magic eye painting either!

jel --, Saturday, 10 January 2009 18:46 (fifteen years ago) link

cover up the legs and see which way they go

choke on my mess of a schlaporito (k3vin k.), Saturday, 10 January 2009 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh! they go clockwise when you do that.

jel --, Sunday, 11 January 2009 09:53 (fifteen years ago) link

dudes dudes if you focus on only two of the three spinny girls it looks like they are spinning in opposite directions! sometimes.

king lame (c sharp major), Sunday, 11 January 2009 13:16 (fifteen years ago) link

i can still only see it clockwise. :( apart from on that third one up there! i should surely be able to do it now! but no.

left to right. what does that mean?

village idiot (dog latin), Friday, 2 July 2010 23:20 (thirteen years ago) link

although dancer at the top is going right-to left.

village idiot (dog latin), Friday, 2 July 2010 23:22 (thirteen years ago) link

lols.

My hypothesis is that the cat is MAGIC and FLOATY and EXTRA AWESOME.

kenan, Friday, 2 July 2010 23:30 (thirteen years ago) link

Btw, it's really super easy for me now to change the direction that either the cat or the dancer is spinning. I barely have to take my eyes off the image. I think my brain has caught on to this particular trick.

kenan, Friday, 2 July 2010 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link

the cat is really hypnotic

sarahel, Friday, 2 July 2010 23:34 (thirteen years ago) link

Fuck yeah it is, it's a MAGIC CAT.

kenan, Friday, 2 July 2010 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link

Clockwise. I can just about make the dancer go the other way (if I look to the side of the image instead of right at her she sometimes starts going anticlockwise and carries on when I look back at her) but I can't make the cat go the other way.

atoms breaking heart (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 2 July 2010 23:37 (thirteen years ago) link

Usually I see her going clockwise, but have been coding for three hours and now it's really difficult to not see the dancer going counter-clockwise. Perhaps all the left-brain action of coding makes it dominant? Freaky.

stet, Friday, 2 July 2010 23:40 (thirteen years ago) link

cat is anti-clockwise, dancer is still -clockwise. I still can't change the dancer to anti-clockwise without looking at the illustrative examples Tipsy posted upthread, and then I get stuck on it until I look at the clockwise illustration again. :'(

NYC Goatse.cx and Flowers (Merdeyeux), Friday, 2 July 2010 23:44 (thirteen years ago) link

xp to stet:

Not freaky at all, though. Practice a bit at changing the direction of the image, and it gets easier and easier to do. In fact it gets so easy that I can blink and the direction changes, without any concentration at all. That don't mean I'm Super Bi-hemispheric Man any more than it means anyone else has a dominant half of their brain.

kenan, Friday, 2 July 2010 23:50 (thirteen years ago) link

And still, that is a floating cat. Who cares what direction it spins?

kenan, Friday, 2 July 2010 23:51 (thirteen years ago) link

i just watched the cat spin for 4 relaxing minutes

sarahel, Friday, 2 July 2010 23:54 (thirteen years ago) link

^ that one's going counter-clockwise

sarahel, Friday, 2 July 2010 23:59 (thirteen years ago) link

clockwise for me.

NYC Goatse.cx and Flowers (Merdeyeux), Saturday, 3 July 2010 12:53 (thirteen years ago) link

iirc right-brained is meant to mean "moar creative/intuitive/___________" right?

which is why ilxors voted for it, to cheer themselves up

coz there is NO FRICKIN WAY that chick is going round clockwise

j/k lol simmons (history mayne), Saturday, 3 July 2010 13:12 (thirteen years ago) link

Last one is clockwise and telling me to kill my parents.

Three Word Username, Saturday, 3 July 2010 14:35 (thirteen years ago) link

there is no such thing as left-brained/right-brained

Girl and cats going clockwise.

Born too beguiled (DavidM), Saturday, 3 July 2010 14:50 (thirteen years ago) link

that's what dreams are made of

the last air bud (crüt), Saturday, 3 July 2010 14:57 (thirteen years ago) link

I can make them spin either way, at will.

Also... INTP. Still. But the margin for T/F gets narrower each time I take it.

OCD Soundsystem (Masonic Boom), Saturday, 3 July 2010 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link

Clockwise and clockwise.

ninjas and lasers and gold and (snoball), Saturday, 3 July 2010 17:33 (thirteen years ago) link

why is one of the books on the bookshelf flickering? is it trying to tell me to kill my parents?

sarahel, Saturday, 3 July 2010 19:40 (thirteen years ago) link

WTF? Now it's anti-clockwise and anti-clockwise!

ninjas and lasers and gold and (snoball), Saturday, 3 July 2010 19:48 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, this thing is bugging me out a bit. I opened it earlier & it was ^ now it is the opposite. Try as I might, I can't *unsee* it either way. Either this is a clever internet joek or I am some sort of schizoid

death kebab of DEATH (Pillbox), Saturday, 3 July 2010 20:15 (thirteen years ago) link

I can't get them to switch direction "manually" either. Just now I opened this thread and the woman was going clockwise again, so I scrolled down to teh cats and they were still going anti-clockwise. I went back up to the woman and she's going anti-clockwise.

ninjas and lasers and gold and (snoball), Saturday, 3 July 2010 20:19 (thirteen years ago) link

Look at the legs. When they cross, your brain interprets that as one going behind the other. Tell yourself which one is in front or behind, and you can make the picture switch. It's easy.

OCD Soundsystem (Masonic Boom), Saturday, 3 July 2010 20:26 (thirteen years ago) link

can't get past the right foot touching the ground

Of course there isn't. It's just a cool illusion.

StanM, Sunday, 4 July 2010 06:28 (thirteen years ago) link

it depends on whether your brain is "looking" at the figure from the top or bottom

the last air bud (crüt), Sunday, 4 July 2010 06:37 (thirteen years ago) link

this kind of changes every time i look at it, but yeah, it was really difficult to reverse them until i read Masonic Boom's "look at the legs" trick.

circa1916, Sunday, 4 July 2010 07:03 (thirteen years ago) link

With practice, you can make the kitty bounce back and forth, never completing a full rotation.

four months pass...

I can't switch the direction with the cat
