Optical Illusions, anyone?

These are some of the best ones I've ever seen - especially the first one.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I love these things. :yes: The first one is indeed probably the best, although I'm not sure how it depicts snakes. :wtf: The black dots one also works well, as do the 3D pop-out shape things.

The first one is EXACTLY what my experience on magic mushrooms felt like. That's what was happening to walls.

Holy crap.

A lot of these were simple color blending or photo-pixel effects, but that first one... YIKES.

"Rotating acorns" and "Convection" were effective too.

Aside from the first one, "Advance" has to be the best.

The first one is amazing. Some of the others didn't really work, but the ones that did were all good. Good find, sandwich! :nod:
