Explanation: In WW1, a curious form of camouflage known as razzle-dazzle was used on ships. Rather than trying to hide the ship, the intent was to make it difficult for submarines to determine a moving ship’s exact direction and speed, which are necessary when trying to figure out where to launch a torpedo to intercept it.
… we’re still not sure if it actually worked.
Why is the one in the middle wider? I’m not talking about an optical illusion, but the number of pixels.
Because the picture lies, the middle person looks wider because they are, not because of horizontal lines

“we’re still not sure if it worked” sounds like an ringing endorsement for an evasion tactic
This shit never ceases to amaze me.
It’s like a texture malfunction on an N64 game.
The idea was that it would make figuring heading and speed hard to figure out. The guns were reaching at ranges where you needed to know that fairly accurately to land a shot even close to that.
The reason the dazzleflage went away was radar, which didn’t care about paint or even being close enough to be seen.
And modern digital camo is like when your GPU is dying (or old solid green fatigues if your gpu died that green type of death instead)
I wanted to upvote, but this is too on-point and I don’t want to be the one breaking it.
This again?
Last time this got posted, it was determined that the poses and dresses are real and different. It’s not one image with 3 patterns. It’s 3 pictures of the same human wearing 3 different dresses. So the poses, and therefor the width of the human in pixels, is, in fact, different in each pose.

When this got posted a few months back someone measured everything. It’s just 3 photos cut out and pasted side by side. This is a post of a post, they used the image front Twitter as well.
The point is that regardless of how the stripes make her look, it’s 3 photos with slightly different poses and scaling. It’s an imperfect comparison crammed in a twitter post.
Yeah, and I just posted the link to the last time we has this discussion, where I edited the pic to be three exact copies of the same image and eliminated the differences, making it a fair comparison.
Yep, and even inconsistently so. The middle pose is significantly wider than the left and right one.
I too was there last thread 😅 https://lemmy.world/comment/20965969
Praise the gods! Thanks @ClamDrinker@lemmy.world
Link is broken. Unless you’re selling websites.
I suspect they didn’t intend to put a period there.
People just be clicking every hyperlink they see, smh.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
just a swipe typo
I saw it as a blue dress.
I hear “yanny”
My take on dresses is that the third one is the best, the second is a Dalton brothers cosplaying and the first one looks like an old times bathing suit.
1). Beetlejuice
2). L’Étranger’s Meursault
3). Actually wearable
