Optical Illusion is an apex-level dumb guy phrase. I have it on the same tier as Social Experiment and For All Intensive Purposes (sic).

lol, now they're saying the Nazi flag is an "optical illusion"
Swastika” Flag In Office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) May Be An “optical illusion” and “easy to miss” The weird story about an aide to Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) having a flag in his Capitol Hill office with a swastika on it, has just gotten weirder. Multiple sources tell Fox – including those investigating the issue – the flag in question is an American flag – but with a swastika embedded into the ink or weaving. And here’s the strange part: the swastika is not obvious to the naked eye. But is more visible when captured on video or by a still photo. One source described this as an “optical illusion.” Another said the swastika was “easy to miss.” Fox has learned that dozens of Congressional offices received these American flags from an undetermined group who brought them around Capitol Hill early in the year. One office tells Fox that the swastika on their flag was clear, so they tossed it out. But the flag in the office of Taylor was not visible until captured on camera. It is not known what group brought the flags around. That is under investigation. The US Capitol Police are also conducting an inquiry. Fox is told that that the group brought the flags to multiple offices. At issues is if the group knew the swastika was embedded into the flag. It is also unclear if this was an effort to covertly deliver American flags to lawmakers with swastikas on them. Or, if this was an effort to deliberately embarrass offices by bringing them an American flag – which featured a swastika which wasn’t obvious to the naked eye.

Ohio’s @RepDaveTaylor now says his office was “targeted”, claiming others were too (nobody backs this up) 🙃

Beyond parody. Couldn’t make it up if we tried. They also claimed it was an optical illusion. 🤔

Boy do they think we are all morons.

the worst thing about the name "laserdisc" is that we didn't keep it around for all the subsequent optical formats. CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays are all discs read by a laser too, so why don't they have names as awesome as "laserdisc"?

❌Proper tiling and masking for the UI sprites

✔️Convoluted ass optical illusion using a 3D camera

(Trust me, this is somehow way easier than all the other options I've tried, and more optimized too)

More "gimmicky" ways to use Switch 2's optical sensors (probably)
Concept designs for controller peripherals, meant for Nintendo Switch 2's new Joy-Con, which are speculated to feature optical sensors on each controller. The peripherals consist of a fishing rod, accordion, and a trackball that all support Joy-Con attachments.

Passed an engineer in the corridor splicing optical fibres to upgrade our internet. He showed me the kit which automatically melts the silica glass fibres to 2000C using a laser and joins them. Pretty cool tech and fundamental to the whole internet being repairable and upgradable. All portable.

At the last All Hands, we were told that CDC's communications ban ended in Feb. But there hasn't been a post from CDC's FB or Instagram accounts since March. That's 3+ months the agency has been muzzled from sharing the latest public health science, recommendations, or outbreak updates. #AltComms

Ok, optical image stabilization has gotten ridiculously good.

Also the lights on my tree cycle slowly between all the colors.

It’s time to break out the big guns for #ShittyCameraChallenge.

Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD91 from 1998.

Optical zoom equivalent to 37–518mm. Optical image stabilization (!).

And extremely crappy 0.8MP photos!
