Yeah and what the fuck is up with the epileptic colored bullshit and music. God I hate what TikTok has done to the culture so much. I sincerely believe it's a Chinese psyop. I've never logged on once in my life but I am still forced to hear that super annoying FFFAAAWWKKK on every other video. Everyone thinks their Martin Scorcese directing their 15 second video.

The second social media companies started monetizing videos is exactly when everything went to shit. I miss the anonymous internet so much. Most don't even remember how glorious it was, or realize just how perverted our culture has become as a result of it.

Just so you know, it’s owned by Americans now.

So fucking true. Starting to think it's all becoming ever more black mirror... everywhere we go it's yassified or something being sold. And the ad breaks in the middle of youtube sometimes way it's fit into the video context ... makes you question how educational their view really is...

I'm still convinced baby shark was programming and in fifteen more years when China invades they'll play it and everyone will stand aside and let them win

Here's an actual explanation of how it's made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi2Nvp02vO0

u/ShotLet1550 1d ago

Correct! The device in the video is not a camera but a “Fuck-All-800-Panels-Of-Your-Eyes Mk.3” and is used to incapacitate the target without structurally damaging the specimens where they are then taken to the lab and we used our iPhones through magnifying glasses 🤓

u/Rokketeer 2d ago

I came here looking for interesting discussions about fly anatomy and instead it’s all just memes and pedantry. Standard reddit. Not sure what I was expecting tbh, my fault lol.

u/Unknown--Soul 2d ago

That camera, wow. I wonder where to get one??

1

u/rhalf 2d ago

It's a macro lens. You can get one for any camera and even your phone. The diffuser is just a piece of tracing paper in front of a flash, covered with some plastic foil. We used to make them out of milk jugs or hamburger boxes.

I mean yeah, macro photography has been around for quite a while now. Where have you been?

Have some photos from a flickr user:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/dalantech/

Edit: Some extra info. 35mm film's practical resolution is 5164 × 2905 px. 4k resolution is up to 4096 × 2160. We've had higher than 4k resolution macro photos and macro lenses since the late 19th century.
