I don’t know how to comment when I see this. I want to talk about how this works, but most people know how this works. So I don’t know why its a thing. Its funny though.

This particular version is more about the characters depicted (Denji and Power from Chainsaw Man), who are famous for being endearingly stupid.

The more earnest versions you tend to see on TikTok are mostly posted by, or at least targeted at, actual kids who don't yet understand how vision works. Nobody on Lemmy is under the age of 30.

Although I might feel 30 sometimes, I'll have you know I'm a ripe 28 & ¾

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm also 28 and three quarters. Weird.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, we already have enough for an average lemmy community.

My age has been overestimated but never by 13 year.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Get out of here you literal baby!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm way under the age of 30

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I'm 24, I can't believe you'd accuse me of such a thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much for this. I really hate giving that website views. Nobody should be using Twitter in 2023.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I thought this whole "object behind paper against a mirror" thing was just a meme at first because the result is very intuitive and not at all shocking... But then I guess people genuinely didn't get it? People really can be so stupid.

Thank your for posting this instead of just being condescending about it being stupid question like most of the people on this thread

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Magic. Don't let mage apologists gaslight you.

[–] JohnDClay 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do they have sharpened teeth? That's a little creepy

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're from an anime, Chainsaw Man. Haven't watched idk why they have sharp teeth, but my best guess is that it's an anime where they use their OP chainsaw teeth to make a killing in the lumber industry, that's definitely what it's about.

Its an optional illusion. Nothing exists and we are but the stuff of dreams.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If the illusion is optional, how do I toggle it off?

She's the best. Chainsaw Man is great for many reasons, but the powerful women with agency is one of the best. Especially for a shonen manga.
