Nope, I wouldn’t fully believe it. Actual photos are much more convincing.
I don’t trust any photo manipulation for any reason. I understand that it is often necessary for economic, artistic, or graphic design efficiency, but for things I have to trust, I want real photos.
This isn’t a peer-reviewed drug study, it’s just a demonstration. Things don’t have to be absolutely perfect to demonstrate the basic concept that the orientation of the stripes makes a difference in perception.
If she was facing front on one pose, sideways for another, and facing backwards for another, I’d agree with you. But three front facing photos, in the same pose, shot from the same distance in the same light, is good enough to demonstrate the difference effectively. I would much rather have this display, over a faked display of the same photo, with the dress patterns applied with AI or something. Then I would doubt the result. But doing it this way convinces me.
We had a bank robbery on my town a while back, a guy with a hoodie, so it was tough to get a good look at his face.
They finally figured out that he was wearing a new type of mask made out of black stretchy material, with a face screen printed on the front of it, mostly celebrities. When put on, and disguised with a hoodie, it seems like it could fool facial rec pretty easily.
Banks be wondering how they keep getting robbed by Kobe Bryant. It would be a good thing to wear to a potentially violent rally.
I’m genuinely surprised so many people are familiar with this.
It’s the Internet. By now, a lot of people have seen photos of those striped WWII ships.
The first one looks like a bottle, the second looks chubbier, and the third looks great.
Very effective demonstration, actually kind of impressive how successful it was.
Maybe if the stripes were across your face, nobody would notice you. I think the diagonal stripes would make your face look less fat.
When they said the same pose, they just mean they are front facing, arms to the side, as opposed to different positions for each dress. It’s pretty darn close. She had to change dresses between shots, so the poses aren’t going to be perfectly identical, but they are close enough to make the point that a person looks different depending on the stripes.
Do you really think that extra half inch of daylight between her arm and body somehow faked the result?
Due to the stormy and windy weather in the Selsey area, bananas have been swept off the beach into coastal roads, making for slippery driving conditions in some areas.
“Today, in Cartoon News, it’s a Banana Party in Selsey…”
I don’t know anything about British courts, but I doubt that any court is going to find anybody guilty of any major crime for collecting bananas washing up on the beach, for which the corporation that lost them got an insurance settlement to cover the loss. That’s salvage, and salvage rights are long established.
When they wanted to prosecute the guy who threw a sub sandwich at the ICE agent, the Grand Jury shot them down twice. So they altered the charges so they didn’t require a grand jury to go to court.
In court, the ICE agent whined about how he had PTSD, since the sandwich burst open on his uniform, and smeared mustard and onions all over it, which he had to smell all day, causing massive psychological harm.
The defense introduced a photograph of the sandwich, laying in the road, AFTER the throw, and it was still tightly wrapped. It hadn’t burst open, no mustard or onions were smeared. The ICE agents entire testimony was a straight up lie. The jury found the sandwich thrower Not Guilty.
So I suspect that their next move will be to adjust the charges to bypass the Grand Jury.
The government AND the national debt ALWAYS grow under Republicans.
The descriptions of nitrogen poisoning are well documented in both the scientific and medical communities, and they are at completely at odds with those descriptions. I have never heard of any other death by nitrogen that fits anything close to that. Just the opposite.
That means either the authorities screwed up in applying the strategy, which is definitely possible, considering how incompetent they often are, or the prisoners were acting, or both, which is probably the likely answer.
If a person is sealed into a tight space filled with nitrogen, they won’t have any other symptoms, other than sleepiness. No thrashing, no seizures, etc. That is simple scientific/medical fact. If those descriptions are accurate, then they are indictive of another problem other than nitrogen. I suspect the mask that they are using isn’t flooding their systems with nitrogen as thoroughly as is required, causing the body to fight back.
Stick the person in a small sealed chamber, fill a small container with liquid nitrogen, which evaporates at a rate of 695.5 to 1, and it will fill a chamber like that VERY quickly as it evaporates, displacing ALL the oxygen, and putting the victim to sleep in only a few breaths.
That’s what’s so good about it.
Evacuating the CO2? That wouldn’t have anything to do with it.
For one thing, the executions I’ve read about used masks around the nose and mouth, which I would think would be very prone to manipulation by the victim. In any case, there is no way for CO2 to build up.
That would take a chamber, which they aren’t using, as far as I know, but even if they were, it would take hours for CO2 to build up enough to have even the slightest effect. A chamber would work the best, allowing the room to fill with nitrogen, which the victim has no choice but to breathe, eventually. Within a few breaths, they will be unable to stay awake, and they will fall asleep forever, suffering NO ill effects along the way (other than death, of course).
Reports of “agony,” thrashing, etc. is all just prisoner theatre. Of course many of them are going to play it up for sympathy, this is their last moment on the stage. The actual fact is that nitrogen poisoning is about the most tranquil death there is. People die from it every year, and there has never been evidence of the victims suffering any death throes. Universally, they all appear to have just fallen into permanent sleep.
The most humane method is Nitrogen Asphyxiation. Since we already breathe a 78% nitrogen atmosphere, as the concentration rises, and the oxygen level (19%) decreases, our bodies handle the increased concentration easily. Instead of getting nauseous, or a headache, or hallucinations, etc, you just get tired, fall asleep, and die, with no other symptoms at all. It is a fast, peaceful, humane, and efficient way to kill any living creature. And since it doesn’t require any medications or injections, no doctor needs to be involved, and violate their oath.
They are already using it a few states.
WWI started with the assassination of a national leader that most people had never heard of, but it dominoed throughout the world into a conflagration that killed millions.
A nuclear war is more likely to start like that. Some dumb country gets their hands on a nuke or two, and what fun is a shiny new toy of you can’t play with it? Once one goes off somewhere, it could spread fast, as nations either defend themselves, or seek revenge.
The reason nobody complains about it is because nobody ever opens a can of creamed corn. It’s beyond disgusting.
Besides, having less creamed corn is a benefit, not a problem. The best outcome would be to open the can and find it empty. You deserve to lose your money for buying something that was so disgusting.
The grossest creamed corn story I ever heard: I worked with a woman whose husband had the exact same breakfast every morning - a bowl of corn flakes, with a cold can of creamed corn poured over it.
This is America. Of course not.
