 Optical illusion - by Yurii Perepadia

Do you see the movement or is the image still for you? And on a scale of 1-10, how stressed are you feeling at the moment?

 Moving and 7-8 stressed 
 is it quick or rather slow for you?

Moving for me too, but not rly feeling stressed i think..

They say the more you're feeling stressed, the quicker the caroussel movement you see.. but idk 🤔 
 It's not that fast but it is moving 😁

 it's mind boggling  
 I’m good. Pretty good, ruminating on the p2p conversations I had with other bitcoiners. 
Yeah, I’m good. Thanks for asking. 
How are you? 
 Slow movement. No stress 😂 
 Same here. Slow, no stress.  
 i see movement in my peripheral when i move my point of focus around, a little 
 same, focusing on reading the text above helps it move quicker also 
 I’m so happy! This was the carpet in my dream 🥹💜 another sign ♥️ you’re the best Matata ☺️ 
 wow! crazy coincidence or maybe they're no such things🫡💜 
 Right!? It was moving in my dream and it made me dizzy so I fell to my knees 🥹🫂💜 different colours but same otherwise 
 Ohh. There was a picture there. 
Nothing is moving 
 Moving stress at 1 🤷 
 Still 1 
 Moving and level 1 stress 
 I’m sick and it’s not moving

But it does spin at a decent pace when I’m well. I saw this maybe a month ago. 
 what if you move your eyes quickly across your screen at random points - and then read the text again? does it move then?  
 No movement still. This was a pretty intense flu, and i have absolutely no energy. Pretty wild to feel like a normie being this sick 🤒 
 get well soon 🍊 :( 
 Better now 😊 still feel like there are some lingering effects. Not bad tho 
 And the image is moving again 😜 
 when i came down with "covid" february 2-5 2020 i discovered very quickly i had to stay very still and consciously slow my breathing

the cough made pain in my intercostal muscles around the ribs almost within half an hour, it was an unprecedented fatigue onset for a cough, i think i got up a few times in that 3 days to go to the toilet and drink water but it was mostly a case of "meditate yourself to sleep, this will pass"

nastiest flu type illness i have ever experienced in my life, and i can see how it could be deadly to someone with several of the conditions i have. good thing i've moved right the hell away from the population! 
 i also got sickest ive ever been in March 20.. 
no cough tho, but a crazy "unknown virus" (eventho they already gave out covid diagnosis) - i was bed ridden for 3/4 weeks, and most intense were the headaches and what seemed like little, but strong strikes of pain throughout my body 

but after this, only been sick w smol flu max 7 days total over 4 years (whereas i got sick like 5 times a year before) 

no idea what happened there, but not complaining 😂 
 yeah, there is definitely something related to pain common between what we experienced, it definitely reduces natural pain blocking

and yeah i'm not surprised you acquired some strong immunity after fighting it 3 weeks... man, that is one hell of an ordeal, and in that time your immune system probably coded up an encyclopedia of antibodies

i already rarely get flu and colds... i tend to attack it pretty hard when it starts with endless fresh oranges and lots of sleep 
 I had the same experience inverted houses at a small airbnb! Also moved to remote place as well! 
 a problem i developed during 2023 from drinking energy drinks with sucraloce and acesulfame K was double vision, which i at first thought was wernicke-korsakoff syndrome... 

one of the signs of it is a failure of the eyes to do their normal left-right orbit, moves in the wrong direction, etc etc...

it made it extremely difficult to read text on an LCD screen because the screen paints the pixels in an alternating checkerboard pattern and when your eye jitter is abnormal you get not just multiple images but due to the way LCDs paint, mangled multiple images

made it reallly really hard to read for a while and it turned out actually this is also a symptom of type 2 diabetes

so actually, it seems like i had a rapid onset of type 2 diabetes by drinking artificial sweeteners

further data to add (anecdotal ofc) was that UHT milk seemed to perpetuate this problem, though it diminished a lot of other aspects (muscle weakness, persistent infections) and i recently threw out a huge stack of this i had left over as i was well and truly back on normal food, mainly salads and cheese and toast

i still have a bit of the vision problem now but it's gone away a lot, so yeah, just could well be that there is a neuromuscular effect with these new GMO fucking cold viruses that are now normal, the real new normal, and nerve  disorders are on the rise, i can almost guarantee you within two years it's going to be in all the news about the "mysterious epidemic of neuromuscular degenerative disease" and early onset alzheimers

i remember literally decades ago reading that there was research that showed that several artificial sweeteners accelerate onset of type 2 diabetes, and the symptoms list, you should have a look at it because it seems a lot like dysregulation of glucose metabolism is now an epidemic everywhere, almost everyone has one or two symptoms of it, be it overweight, muscle weakness, memory problems, vision problems... 
 I wonder if the colors matter or if this could be lasered onto something 🧐 
 In my universal experiences … colors matter… especially to #humanity 

Same as flowers and birds 
Each holds a certain vibration 
Carries forward in all lives 

Love you 🥰 mean it. 💜 
 ❤️ no doubt colors matter, vibes are more real then most people recognize and realize 🙌 I should have asked if the colors matter for the optical illusion. Shading is possible with the laser but coloring only on stainless steel 
 Right on 😊 Looks good in silver tone as well, right? I think the repetition can give it another level if one chooses 🥰🙏💜 https://image.nostr.build/72970a290b2b0e8b63f3d3a290208014c768ee5e63041be4920d200a3f5e6fe4.jpg https://image.nostr.build/30c3b4fc65b5cf4a9d75dcdd6cfe566c27b97bfa9e6ab823c8ba5704048fbddf.jpg  
 Oh yeah looks great too 🤩 
 Agreed 🤩 
 also followed both 🤙  
 not moving for me anymore in monochrome, others experience it moving still? 
 maybe it'll still move in other complementary color mixes like orange-blue or red-green.. but wont get any prettier hehe 
 Yes, it can move with my eyes focused 
 Moving again for me today hehe 😉 could be the good coffee ☕️ 
 Happy for you 
 i think it doess but not sure 
 Not stressed at all. Answered this question yesterday. Constant changes in life give us every opportunity to flow or not. 🥰💜🙏
