😈 The Evil Ideas thread

This is more evil. The McCollough effect. It temporarily breaks something in the edge-detection part of the human visual system.
There is active research into it, so it's not fully understood still.

It lasted for about an hour for me...just about the point you get worried you might have permanently damaged your brain
I don't get it, what's supposed to happen?
EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCollough_effect Didn't seem to happen to me though.

They aren't discussing it as a proposal for something to do, but about the availability, do you have to free her if she becomes Muslim, what if your wife won't let you fuck your slave, etc.
One thing that the participants stated that was incorrect according to Islam. In fact, the child of a slave is also a slave. And converting to Islam after becoming a slave does not guarantee freedom, although it does confer some benefits.

That's interesting. For me the space around horizontal and vertical lines takes on light colours. It's strong enough to be startling for me when looking around afterwards.
Alternating every few seconds between the test images on that wiki page (without making then full screen or staring close at the monitor) works well for me after a few minutes.
It's possibly very dependant on the person I guess, shame because it's extremely neat.

I find these sorts of things moderately difficult to see, though it's nothing like as hard as those 3D-pictures-from-random-dots things that used to be in vogue. All I ever got from trying to see them was a headache.

Those are fun!
I should use one as a wallpaper, maybe ...
-
Yeah, I loved those as a kid. Never had trouble viewing them either. It also gave me the ability to view Oculus Rift screencaps in 3D on a 2D monitor, though those are harder because they require you to go very wide-eyed. Going cross-eyed easier but really funky on those, you get an inverted 3D image.

YMMV. I find it easier to let my eye focus drift into the distance than closer to the nose.
What's in that stereogram you posted? Some kind of spiral?

Something like that, it was the only cool-looking and non-sports one that turned up in my Google image search.

I used to be able to, I don't really remember how I did that.
I must have been doing something wrong though, because the images never "popped out", they got "pressed" into the pattern.
-
There are two ways. One, you let your eyes diverge (as if viewing a very distant scene); when you get it precisely so that the repeating pattern overlaps itself once, it'll come into focus. The second way, you go cross-eyed and then let your eyes drift back toward normal to try and get the point at which the pattern overlaps once. Depth information is interpreted the opposite for each viewing method, so a pattern designed for one viewing method will get "pressed in" when it was supposed to "pop out".
I found the divergent method easier than the cross-eyed method, although I eventually did learn to do both. It might help to use a near/far object (for cross-eyed/divergent viewing, respectively), moving the object or the picture until you get the pattern to overlap, then shift your focus to the picture without changing your depth of focus.
You can practice with two identical vertical lines spaced about 1 inch apart... you should get them to overlap perfectly so you see 3 lines, either with the divergent or cross-eyed method.
-
I can shift the image correctly, but I don't see anything in it. I know I was occasionally able to when I was younger...
-
I've never been able to see those. Not once in my life.
It sucked in the early-90s when they were super-trendy and I couldn't see shit. People would buy me books for Christmas that were just gibberish patterns. Then I'd hate them.
-
Even if you do it correctly you still have to know how to look for the 3D scene. Basically it's like you're looking at a 3D scene that's all painted exactly like the background with no difference in lighting to clue you in on its shape.
-
It's time to tell you the truth: your relatives hate you and they gave you books with actual gibberish patterns to make you feel like an idiot.

Not necessarily:

Have we done the obligatory "it's a sailboat, moron" joke already?
-
not here. but in another thread someone got a whoosh on that joke

Couple days ago. It was over here

oh! i couldn't remember the thread. i tought about looking for it in the cupcakes thread, but that would've required work...

Continuing the discussion from Byte me:
Añy òñë whô usës Éxtëndèd ÅSCII ìs dòîng ìt wróng.
Exactly; we should all be using Unicode
I suggest a 16 bit extension of EBCDIC.
-
How about a 32-bit extension of PETSCII? Or maybe something based on Morse code?

When asked about Auernheimer's promoted tweets, a Twitter spokesperson pointed out that the tweets in question had been deleted because they violated the service's hate/sensitive ads policy.
Hmmmmmm, I see nothing I would classify as "hate speech" in there... Kind of stupid. Meant to annoy people. But not hate speech.
I think that if he wanted to show that most people only want to hear viewpoints that agree with theirs, he achieved that.

It's all implied, of course. Which isn't really wrong. I mean, pretty much everyone thinks the same thing. But it does point out the multiple standards depending on which race you're talking about.
Otherwise, by the same logic, "That's a nice restaurant you have there..." couldn't be considered a threat.
-

I might be misunderstanding what you mean, but I think they have what you want.
First of all, there's UTF-EBCDIC, which provides an appropriate conversion from each EBCDIC code point to UTF-8, which is of course directly translatable to Unicode.
Or if you mean, is there a 16-bit form of EBCDIC, well, IBM has this early implementation of "Unicode" (properly, national character sets) they call EBCDIC DBCS, which if I understand it correctly can be seen in the dictionary definition for evil. I don't believe it actually has anything to do with Unicode.

dictionary definition for evil.
Lotus Multi-byte Character Set (LMBCS)

I searched for "EBCDIC 16 bit" only, not for "EBCDIC double byte".
If I understood the linked document correctly, IBM created some mixture of teletyper codepage change and UTF-8 like optional multi-byte representation. (CBA to read it thoroughly, though.)
Yes, Dicksores, I posted exactly that post two minutes before. Yes, Dicksores, I had a reason: there were server cooties, and after reloading the page, my post wasn't visible on the page. No, Dicksores, rejecting for similarity a post that has been received but not appended to the thread, is not a good idea. Some humans and other forum members feel pissed when you do that. Yes, Dicksores, I'll write some more to my post, just to humor you.

that might be because you're evil.

I kind of think maybe superlogout is evil all right.
We can improve on it. Announcing supersuperlogout.com. Lead in phrase:

I am developing superlockout.com
It uses your ID but the incorrect password to lock as many of your accounts as possible.

VW could face up to $18 billion -- or $37,500 per vehicle — as well as criminal prosecution for allowing vehicles to emit up to 40 times legally allowable diesel pollution.
Ouch.

Here's predicting they pay $375,000, or about $0.78 per vehicle and have to promise not to do it again...this model year.

http://superlogout.com/
What am I missing here? It looks like someone who wanted to be logged out of all of the sites would simply visit superlogout.com.

What if somebody didn't want to be logged out? It runs automatically as soon as you hit the page...

Merited, but as Ms Darwin (from the (in)famous Darwin Awards) would say, too common to mention. (Unless you really have reasons to expect Germans to be far more honest than humans in average. Myths die slowly. Even if having been true once.)

Some big trust not paying enough to the right persons to get through with fake expertises is seldom but not exactly rare.
