T-Shirts with brail messages on them
Do the messages spell out "stop feeling my tits, pervert"?

if they were reading braile they wouldn't have noticed until they started reading.

but to do that i do need some highly specialized equipment. Including my ultra special AMP that actually goes all the way up to 9001.

Wouldn't that be

Maybe, but they can't see it anyway

So I noticed that the latest Otter installer is marked as a trojan by a bunch of antivirus software. I submitted a false positive report to F-Secure from their website. Less than an hour and a quarter later, they write back to say they've fixed the problem and it will be in the next definition update.
That's some good customer support.

Or "Caps Lock" (rotate that A by 180 degrees).

do you have a mirror handy?

@accalia mirror shows @wharrgarbl, that is different from @whargarbl, that isn't the same. It was also created by different unrelated people, and aren't the same. Because @whargarbl isn't @wharrgarbl and @wharrgarbl isn't @whargarbl. And @whargarbl's account's creator isn't @wharrgarbl's account's creator, that are two different unrelated forum users.

No, it would be like that but with the subpixel rendering backward, like it's in a mirror.

A mirror doesn't reflect "subpixel" or anything else that doesn't exist in reality. My hardware only emits pixels, and that's all my mirrors can see.
-
@wharrgarbl well that's strange, because your screenshot was taken with subpixel rendering turned on:
That red haze along the left (right side apparently, 'cuz it's mirrored) side of the characters? That's subpixel rendering. There's a blue haze along the other side of them but it's less obvious because they're already blue.
-
@anotherusername these are pixels. A mirror doesn't understand "subpixel rendering" and will invert it exactly as ms paint does.

On the contrary, the point of subpixel rendering is that subpixels do exist in reality. For every pixel, your monitor emits three lights in slightly different positions. A mirror will invert those three dots, but MS Paint won't, so the result will look wrong.

A better question: why do mirrors reflect left and right, but not up and down?
-
@djls45 Because when you show a mirror something, you invert it horizontally.

@djls45 said in The Official Good Ideas Thread™:

They don't. They reflect front and back.
-
@djls45 said in The Official Good Ideas Thread™:

Place mirror on floor.
Stand on mirror.
Observe that reflection has feet at top, head below.QED: Mirror is reflecting "up and down".
(Next exercise: why don't mirrors reflect good and evil?)

@wharrgarbl no... this is a pixel.
That's an actual photo that I took of a single white pixel. Note the subpixels, in RGB order... in a mirror, they'll be backward, in BGR order.
Here's an enlarged version of what a line that's 1 pixel wide would look like if the subpixels are used... one pixel; 3 subpixels. The slope is 3:1. Because of the subpixels, the left edge of the line has a red hue; the right edge is blue:
Subpixel representation Pixel representation If you view it in a mirror, that subpixel representation will be flipped, and the subpixels will be in BGR order; it'll still be a smooth line. However, if you simply took the image and flipped its pixels horizontally, then displayed it on a computer screen with the original RGB subpixel order, the subpixel rendering would be backward, making it look jagged instead of smooth:
Subpixel representation Pixel representation And finally, if anti-aliasing is performed with subpixel rendering turned off, the whole pixel's intensity is varied to make the line seem smoother:
Subpixel representation Pixel representation For comparison, here's several lines. Of each set of parallel lines, one of them will be smooth with RGB subpixels, and one is backward and will look jagged with RGB subpixels (but will be smooth with BGR subpixels). The line in the center is anti-aliased with grayscale pixels, and will look more fuzzy; however, since it's symmetrical it can be mirrored without making the subpixels wrong.
(Really to work properly it needs to be rendered dot-for-dot... devices with high-density displays might use pixel doubling to make it larger and that will interfere with it actually using the subpixels as intended.)
