What. the. fuck?

When it flashes a small black/white line is positioned on a specific borders to give a feeling of movement.

Yes thank you. I covered up the arrows and it still looked like they were moving.

[-] rdri@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

They aren't but the stuff inside their borders actively tries to look 3D and animate in a way that would make it look like movement (like shaders in games). And it's a shame the creator had to add those arrows inside as they don't affect anything.

You can cover them up and it still works, they just add visual appeal. (Same reason there's two cubes.)

This is upsetting me and I would like more please

You know what's fun?

Treat it like a stereoscopic image. Let your eyes do the trick that works for those, the "magic eye" images and such.

The cubes stop "moving" entirely, but they now have depth

[-] Fjern@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

It's true. I don't see any movement 😥 Why doesn't it work on me?

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

You're broken

[-] aaaa@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Is this supposed to be a static image with a fake play button in it? Because that's all I'm getting. No animation, no changing pixels, and no illusion of movement

[-] squeakycat@lemmy.ml 10 points 7 months ago

Nah, it's an animation for maybe 30s

They sure aren't.

Phi Phenomenon?

Well, now I'm beginning to question reality... More, please!
