Is there a stupidly simple way to see these in 3D?

If you do the "stare through" method like a magic eye it'll work. Crossing your eyes until they overlap will invert the 3D effect.
I think if the picture positions are swapped then crossing one's eyes will work?
Edit: I found this other pic. The top works with crossing your eyes until the images overlap, whereas the bottom one is visible with the "stare through" method.
Holy moly it worked! Usually I can't get things like this to work but now it did. Thanks! Did the stare-through method on the first picture. Got my phone close to my face, looked "past" it, aligned the blurry shapes and then I could focus so they weren't blurry
Alternate between both frames quickly?
Very cool!
I've been wanting to post these for ages, Lemmy kept erroring out about file size limits, but now I'm free on PieFed to post it.
I love this artist and how they've made these slices of mundanity feel like I'm there.
Those Japanese were sure twitchy back then...
Socks and flip flops. Nice.
