@hikari Sometimes when I'm bored in a meeting I'll move my eyes such that two different people's faces overlap in my cognition and merge into a new hybrid person.

If I cross my eyes and close one eyelid, the remaining eye will be out of focus. I can control how blurry the world is, but without the distraction of overlapping images.

If I continuously swivel my eyes, incandescent lights leave continuous streaks but flickering LEDs leave dotted lines. Flickering lights are surprisingly common.

@hikari my left eye is kinda near-sighted, to the extent that if it’s in focus (max distance is like 15 cm lol) then the *other* eye would be straining to remain focused, so it just automatically gives up and stops trying to converge.

so when I take off my glasses and bring something up close, I have one image properly zoomed in and the other just idly fucking around somewhere nearby, like “yeah I was working double duty all day, you be useful for once”

(or it decides to focus on an entirely different object that’s somewhere further away, and the brain tries to alpha-blend the two, which is also neat)
