I seem to have a really hard time at these.

I couldn't get one of them without knowing what it should say.

What does it say? I can one or two letters

"send nudes"

Try holding the phone (or computer screen) further away. That's what helps me.

Tried that. I only can see it if I know what words it should be

Ok squinting and constantly scrolling up and down seem to work. Thanks

Can you try over-focusing your eyes? Basically focusing the background while looking at your phone.

You can achieve a similar effect by squinting.

The lazy way, find a way to unzoom or see the thumbnail.

It’s ULTRAVISIBLE as a small icon. If you’re using a phone app that has a compact mode with little preview icons, try looking at it via that. I only use compact mode, so any of these posts are spoiled immediately hahaha

Zoom out. The text is clearly visible in thumbnail.

And this is how you find that you are colorblind.

If you’re on mobile, tilt the phone away from you.

[–] NukedRat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

On my phone if I tilt it so the screen is at an extreme angle I can see it. If I look straight on I find it hard to see.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I'm able to read it easily if I squint really hard, to the point that my eyes are nearly closed. Alternatively, it's clear as day when I just look at the thumbnail.

I had a hard time with this too, I didn't even know there were supposed to be words. What finally did it was actually squinting, like so much that my eyes are nearly closed and I can just see a little between my eyelashes. Then it stands out clear as day.
