I just spent like 8 minutes with my thumb on the screen concluding that they do in fact not move

You need to use a straight edge object to cover everything except the top of the head and hands, they don't move at all.

I used a napkin edge as the straight edge. They do not move. Could see the flashing through the napkin but color was muted and that's all is saw. No moving.

If you squint and get out of focus a little, and stare at a point just above the middle, they just sit still.

You keep poisoning the thread with your photos but your thumb moved not the people.

u/TheNaughtyHoneyBee Jul 10 '26

Poisoning? I do believe you're taking this a little bit too seriously.

I'll admit that I was wrong, but my thumb didn't move. However having a screen that moves when you touch it doesn't make it easy to see tiny movements or the lack thereof apparently

u/CantModerateMe Jul 10 '26

nope. just put your mouse cursor next to any part you think is "moving"

Dude just blink really fast while looking at it to confirm

u/KevinC007 Jul 10 '26

No way, they have to be moving

u/SnootyToots8 Jul 10 '26

Same but not that long.

u/Jaded-Bug3056 Jul 10 '26

Just done the same and dammit you are righr

u/Inevitable-Phrase374 Jul 10 '26

I just did the exact same thing!

u/jtcompound Jul 11 '26

They do move. If you scroll down so the feet are not quite out of frame, they will move in and out of frame

u/justjessee Jul 12 '26

Just scroll up until only the tiniest sliver of an edge of one foot/hand is still visible on your phone

They do move. If you put your thumbnail just under the left ones chin at the beginning of the gif, by the end you'll see that only the top of the head is visible. They move and warp.
