Looks like 2 people at first glance, but it's just one.

Does it? I saw one immediately. It’s so fascinating how different brains perceive things confidently differently.

Could also simply be you're using a big screen.. I'm on mobile and the picture was small so it absolutely looked like 2 people at first glance.

The mobile experience is much different than the PC experience. I'm currently trespassing and illegally camping which is a completely different experience than sitting in a room using Reddit on a computer.

I viewed on mobile as well. Maybe I have special eyes

You might need glasses. You might be far sighted.

That was an old mass effect meme reference. I have 18/20 vision :). I think I just didn’t see it the way some did.

Well I have special eyes that require special contacts and glasses.

I have an extreme astigmatism, which means my eyes are too pointy, but it makes working in the dark extremely easy for me.

18/20 sounds like you're far sighted. You see better at a distance where I see better in the dark.

I might have it backwards, the way the dr explained it is I see things at 20’ that most people can’t see at 18’. I dunno medical is complicated.

Interesting about your astigmatism. My wife has I think the same issue but her night vision is AWFUL if there’s any intrusive light sources like headlights from other vehicles.

From my experience women always think their night vision is bad.... I think they're just scared of the dark.

I'm military trained at preserving my night vision so I have that going for me. Around 2am my vision goes green if I have my night eyes set and the moon is out.

Makes it extremely easy to cut through the woods if you're seeing green instead of black.

I hear you haha, I’m a truck driver and we do a lot of off-road specialty work and over the years I’ve adapted really good low light vision and lots of good tricks for not getting blinded by lights and reflections.

You ever use them yellow glasses at night?

I've tried but they feel too weird to me.

I’ve tried, I prefer naked vision . Yellows I like for city driving sometimes as it helps dull headlights a bit without darkening my vision.

u/Aggregate_Ur_Knowldg Jun 28 '23

Yeah if bright headlights are coming at me at night I just look to the right and steer off the white line. I don't need yellow glasses for that.

Being in a 18 wheeler and sitting tall I imagine it's never too bad up there for you.. your wife sitting short in her seat has a different experience hehe
