I don’t know how to comment when I see this. I want to talk about how this works, but most people know how this works. So I don’t know why its a thing. Its funny though.

This particular version is more about the characters depicted (Denji and Power from Chainsaw Man), who are famous for being endearingly stupid.

The more earnest versions you tend to see on TikTok are mostly posted by, or at least targeted at, actual kids who don't yet understand how vision works. Nobody on Lemmy is under the age of 30.

Although I might feel 30 sometimes, I'll have you know I'm a ripe 28 & ¾

[–] MickeySwitcherooney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm also 28 and three quarters. Weird.

[–] koorool@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, we already have enough for an average lemmy community.

[–] DaleGribble88@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I'm 28 & ¼. Can I get in on this, or do I have to wait until I am older?

[–] atocci@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I'm only 24 but I'm on Kbin I guess so you got me there

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm way under the age of 30

[–] Melonenbaum@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My age has been overestimated but never by 13 year.

Get out of here you literal baby!

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I'm 24, I can't believe you'd accuse me of such a thing.

[–] HamBrick@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I didn’t realize the lemmy demographic and how I’m very much not it

[–] AeroRake@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I would like to hear an actual explanation. I don’t know shit about light physics but my attempt to explain it is that the trajectory of the light is such that it reflects off of the egg into your eyes and that it is this trajectory that is reflected in the mirror.

[–] fristislurper@feddit.nl 12 points 1 year ago

I mean, yeah, basically. It's really not very complicated.

[–] Ghost33313@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

My wife was having a brain fart once and knew there was a logical reason but couldn't figure it out atm. So I drew a diagram top down geometry class style. Set her straight just like that. It's just the light bouncing at an angle so that you can see what is on the front of the paper.

[–] Redderthanmisty@lemmygrad.ml 47 points 1 year ago

Because reality uses Raytracing instead of Screen-space reflections!

People can be so stupid

[–] Twink@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Magic. Don't let mage apologists gaslight you.

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its an optional illusion. Nothing exists and we are but the stuff of dreams.

[–] saintClass@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If the illusion is optional, how do I toggle it off?

[–] fox@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Just close your eyes. Illusions don't work if you can't see them expert-shapiro

I like the Action Lab guy going through the explanation for this https://youtu.be/ezUmSO_OAxY

She's the best. Chainsaw Man is great for many reasons, but the powerful women with agency is one of the best. Especially for a shonen manga.

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

I am angleless...

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do they have sharpened teeth? That's a little creepy

[–] Denvil@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're from an anime, Chainsaw Man. Haven't watched idk why they have sharp teeth, but my best guess is that it's an anime where they use their OP chainsaw teeth to make a killing in the lumber industry, that's definitely what it's about.

[–] SchmallChild@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I watched the anime, your guess is right.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

They have sharp teeth to show they are demons, I thought. The main dude doesn't have sharp.teeth until he is made into a demon when his little chainsaw dog replaced his heart.

Others have pointed out there is inconsistencies with this, though. I just figured they were oversights in production and the sharp teeth are still intended to represent when the character is demonic.
