As I recall, it relies on the fact that your eyes don’t actually stay still when looking at an image, but move back and forth slightly. Also part of the drunk “follow my pencil” test.
Supposedly, my ancestors sailed to the US from Hamburg, Germany. Don’t know if they were fleeing, or seeking to get rich (apparently that didn’t happen).
That looks like a little Apple IIe or some such… Hard to tell cos it’s a cartoon.
If that’s right, an expensive toy for the Cliffords…. they cost upwards of a thousand bucks.
That would also mean they might have had the first computer on the block. Might explain why they never found anybody to show them how to use it.

I didn’t get a computer till a few years later… then I went the Commodore direction. Even those were $650 or so, when that was about 3 months of my rent.
That was including one floppy drive, which made up about a third of the total price.
No hard drive and no modem. You booted it from a floppy, then swapped that for the program you wanted to run, on another floppy.
But the monitor displayed a glorious 16 colors!
And at least Commodores ran on regular instead of ethyl.
Sinclair Spectrum 48K, rubber keyboard and tape cassette for loading games etc. was my first computer. My brother had a Dragon 32, which had a proper keyboard, still loaded from tape, but had a cartridge slot for games as well. Later on I upgraded the Spectrum to the 128K version, still tape cassette, but had a proper keyboard, and I added an interface for an Amstrad NLQ (Near Letter Quality) dot matrix printer that could use tractor-feed, or normal A4 paper. The Interface came with a 1K word processor in firmware, so the Spectrum could be used for word processing. My brother did his A Level exam projects using the Spectrum, and got extra marks for ‘Using modern technology’. This was around 1989/90.

Oh relax. He’s just the welcoming committee.
Forget Godzilla. That is a prehistoric monster!
He seems nice…

You should see these illusions through double vision. Take it from me, they look incredibly intricate.
This has a strobe effect when i scroll, but not as bad.
This one is far strobier… er.. strobe-ish (?) than that zebra, to my eyes.
In fact, I had to open it in another tab, and confirm that it’s a .jpg, before my brain could accept that it’s not an animated .gif.
Funny thing, for me it’s worse this morning than it was last night.

Clearly it’s the invisible man. His feet are still wet, and he throws a shadow. 😉
“Clearly”?
Yeah, I think that’s one of the criteria for being invisible.

Thank you for picking up on that.
Neat trick, inserting a profile of the actor in, I presume, Pulp Fiction. Delete bartender and customers, add hitman.
This pairs well with the Henry Mancini video (above) playing in the background.

Makes me glad I’m not a horse. Hope he likes my horse instead of me.
The horse need only be faster than you ☺
Um… seems to me I need to be faster than the horse!

Sulu (George Takei) always had that striking, James Earl Jones-like bass speaking voice. It lent gravitas to everything he said.
Old Star Fleet officers never die, they just become warped.
find a needle
It had to be done; a needle in a haystack.
I shock myself! I got it! 😮
I was at the point of giving up (no pun intended) when I found it.
Everybody seems to have sharp eyes tonight…
So I didn’t circle the needle.
Cos I threaded it!
Couldn’t find it at normal resolution, but found it quickly when I enlarged it.

Please tell me that it’s real.
Ok.. it’s real.
I don’t really know, and haven’t found it yet.
But you only said to tell you, not that I couldn’t lie. 😁
Mine was a little pot bellied wood burner…
I had to crank mine up.
Good night. 🙂

Cassette tapes!
Tandy!
I remember playing Monopoly on a Tandy with cassette…
Me too, C64 & cassettes. I got the floppy drive later.
