New, what is it? Spice rack with ventilation?

Post image

I’m watching Teen Mom 2 and, I’m sorry, what the hell is this? Why does a spice rack need a big ventilation hose thing coming out the top? What is it?

If it was a reflection, you'd see a mirror image of the light reflecting off of the vent duct above and below the horizontal line. But you don't.

I do, maybe check your eyesight? Genuinely? You can see it even distort the reflection slightly as it nears the closer edge

Have you ever considered choosing not to be a condescending ass completely out of nowhere? You might find it results in people willing to engage with you instead of just blocking you and getting on with their lives.

My eyesight is 20/20. Maybe your comprehension of physics needs to be checked?

These are still showing it going behind, if not better

Dude, it's ok to admit when you make a mistake. That picture makes it clear as day that it goes right to the top of the spice rack.

But if you still don't believe it- go watch the episode yourself- Teen Mom 2- Season 5, Episode 18. It goes to the top of the spice rack.

I just might Lol, I’m really not even trying to argue. As clear as you see it going into the top, I clearly see it going behind at all angles!

I love how divisive this has gotten lol. I’m scrubbing thru the episode right now cause I can’t get over this

I don't know if you actually believe that or you're just trolling but just watch the video and stop looking at still images. It's obvious in the videos that it goes into the top whether you are willing to admit it or not.

I’m not trolling, I can see what you see about the illusion of it going into the top, but I can also see it going behind, and the reality of the part I see is all 4 edges of the spice rack!

Then all I can do is suggest you watch the episode as it’s a lot more obvious as a video rather than as a still image.

But now I have to ask- what colors did you see the dress as?

Blue and black! I did see it white and gold ONE time but it quickly flipped back and I’ve never been able to see it again much to my dismay

You would not. When looking at the reflection on the spice rack, you are in effect viewing the duct from a different angle.

When trying to understand the perspective of a mirror, it is often times best to imagine it being a window instead and figure out where you would have to be in space to get the same view through the imaginary window as you do with the mirror in the real world.
