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.

I’m 2E! Do I really need to wait 2 years to use it?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Man if you're hexadecimal years old then go right ahead, use it now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He's been okay to use it for 16 years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

16 is wrong, as that would be 10. 2E = 46

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 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm also 28 and three quarters. Weird.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My age has been overestimated but never by 13 year.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Get out of here you literal baby!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

You're over 30 in spirit. Welcome to the club, here's some ibuprofen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I would like to hear an actual explanation. I don’t know shit about light physics but my attempt to explain it is that the trajectory of the light is such that it reflects off of the egg into your eyes and that it is this trajectory that is reflected in the mirror.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

I mean, yeah, basically. It's really not very complicated.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

My wife was having a brain fart once and knew there was a logical reason but couldn't figure it out atm. So I drew a diagram top down geometry class style. Set her straight just like that. It's just the light bouncing at an angle so that you can see what is on the front of the paper.
