It's two Romulan warbirds. I'm sure someone else can back me up for the non-believers.
Oh, it's a sailboat!

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

How do Fireworks in Space work again?
They work by shut up and watch that's how.
Fireworks work by igniting metals and salts using gunpowder. All those components should work in a vacuum.
Usually the propellant and other combustion materials will include an oxidizer, so an atmosphere really isn't required.
I don't know how the Cardassians would do it, but Starfleet would just put colored gunpowder in a torpedo casing.
How come the Sun stays lit even though there's no oxygen in space? O.o
It's a schooner!
You dumb b****, it’s not a schooner, it’s a sailboat!
A schooner is a sailboat you dumbass!
Oh hey.
It's a schooner!
No, that's a sailboat.
I can't find the common frame of reference to let my eyes rest/lock on this one. Too much repetition. Being on mobile probably isn't helping.
I zoomed in just a tad on mobile.
Took a while to find "the lock", more than usually with these. (I spend hours looking at them as a kid.) Once I got it though, it stuck really well.
!The ship in the top right corner looks like an apple though, dk if its supposed to be a Borg sphere or what!<
I will take your word for it lol. I just tried again a few times and now my eyes hurt.
And side note, spoiler tag syntax is different on Lemmy. Instead of
>!text!<
It's
Button text

I can't really think of anything witty right now... best I can come up with is "beef stew." I think my imagination is broken.
I'm not sure which apps or front ends support what. I use Voyager and that only got spoiler support recently.
(Unless the Lemmy markdown guidelines changed again, in which case ignore me, I'm behind)
Boost still doesn't do spoilers 😕
Thanks for reminding me I have astigmatism 😤
So do I.
Is THAT why I've literally never been able to see these???
My astigmatism is pretty bad and I've never had any problem seeing these.
How does that matter? I have astigmatism and can usually see these with literally no effort. The thing making this one difficult is the border.
I don’t think I’ve ever done a magic eye on a smartphone before.
Being able to zoom in and out adds a whole to dimension to it…
Same here. Had to zoom in to get a fix on it, and then zoom back out to see what I was looking at. I'm surprised at how well it worked!
I have never, ever made one of these work, and I was there when the old magic was written.
These things never work for me
Scaled down to fit a computer screen they get way worse.
But they are just a couple of Romulan ships.
I can usually see it without even trying, but the border on this one really makes it difficult.
Same. I was like 8 when they came out. Never fkn once
Do you have extremely unbalanced vision in your eyes? Even with corrective lenses that can keep you from being able to stitch the images together properly for your brain to interpret the 3D image.
Yes I looked this up after commenting and that's why, I have astigmatism, and one eye is better than the other. So that's why they don't work on me
I remember people trying to do it as a kid by putting their noses in the books, and it confused the hell out of me. But then when I'd explain how to do it, they acted like I was muttering moon speak.
But what I do is just make repeating shapes overlap. Like, have you ever made your fingers overlap (by crossing your eyes)? Or played with the double images of things near your face while looking at something in the background?
You just do that so that neighbouring copies of image elements overlap.
Ok, managed to see it properly for once. What's the 3rd object in the top right? Just a planet?
I think so. Honestly, I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out, I thought it was just part of the border.
Maybe a moon, there's actually also a larger planet just below the warbird on the right.
Is this a parallel eyes one? I can only do crosseyed and couldn't see it.
I.e. I was looking in front of the screen but you need to look behind it for this one I think.
If you look at it cross-eyed it should be the same image, just inverted (things that should be closer to you are further away instead).
Normally I can get these easily but my eyes just can't work this one out
Nah you can't see them, they are cloaked.
I can see the thing, but I don't know what it is
I'm having a really hard time making out the one on the right, but the one on the left definitely is.
Somehow, my eyes just sort of do the magic eye thing naturally. Like it's never taken me any effort, I just have to move my eyes a certain way, like I was focusing on something, and they appear.
I got it eventually. I tend to put my nose right up to the screen to uncross my eyes enough, and slowly pull it away until it comes into focus, but the right one is harder because it's supposed to be closer, and therefore bigger.
Cross eye is easier for me, but these are never cross eyed.
I just cross and refocus my eyes, but then what I get is the inverse.
I'm unable to cross my eyes, so that may have something to do with it. They sort of go the opposite direction instead of crossing if I let them drift to see the magic eye picture.
