Okay. Ever wonder why pigeons bob their heads? It’s so that they can perceive depth. Animals with front facing eyes like ours can tell how near/far something is based on the angle formed by our eyes (called stereopsis). Pigeons, being side-eyed, don’t have that option, so instead they compare the percieved size of things as they bob. Things that are closer will “grow” more than things that are far away.
Look at one thing, then quickly at another (only moving your eyes). You quite literally were blind for a moment there due to saccadic masking: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccadic_masking
Hi Teddy, I love you.
Haha, same! I think it was three accounts for me until it clicked. I can’t recall exactly what I was doing wrong, but I remember it had something to do with replying to comments that was my main source of confusion; from my inbox it mattered somehow (this is the bit I can’t recall) what I clicked on to go to the originating community, only one way took me there in a way that preserved my login/subscription (man, I don’t understand yet how to talk about this system).
Hey, I calls em as I sees em, I’m a whale biologist.
