Mirrored image of a manually chosen frame.

I specifically manipulated an image to make it look more like what I wanted to see and then I saw it.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hence why the mirrored version definitely does not represent a "natural" storm.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is the extrapolation here that photoshop is full of ghosts and/or demons?

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 5 points 1 month ago

It can be, depending on your level of imagination... and skill.:-)

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 month ago

Refute that, sciencestist!

Wait till this guy sees a frontal MRI of a human head.

Don't look if you're squeamish

This doesn't seem like the work of demons to me. Seems pretty on brand for your christian god, though.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Demons are just angels working in a different department at a remote worksite, they all answer to the same dude.

Shhhhh!! The only people that know are the ones who read the source material

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Seems like the prayers didn't work once again. Maybe next storm?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Just one more prayer bro, I swear just one more and more and we'll beat weather, bro. One prayer, that's all we need, just one more prayer and I swear we'll be done, but we gotta have that one prayer bro. C'mon bro, just one. One prayer, you can do this bro. Just one, bro. Please, just one prayer, bro.

If I pray real hard will Duke Energy turn my fucking power back on?

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago

Fuck i wish, I'm sitting in my car at three a.m. hoping my battery is good while i charge my phone after Grandma killed her battery doing the same thing.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I forgot to send my thought with the prayers. Sorry! Next time.

[–] chillBurner@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago

Reminds me of this

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago

OMG The storm looks so unnatural, its almost completely mirrored

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait... I just looked up what "Pareidolia" means and like this is literally that. Seeing a face out of a pattern?

Like it's on you if you are only looking for the scary ones, the teapot that looked shocked I saw as an example was adorable and the grumpy bag. Oof heart attack of cuteness.

Feel like if you've looking at somethig scary you are gonna be looking for something scary.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm going to need you to provide examples so that I can replicate your experiment and verify your findings. Please feel free to post adorable grumpy bad and shocked teapot at your earliest convenience.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You may definitely have grumpy bag.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Ok I believe I can state that is objectively the grumpiest bag I've ever seen. Thank you.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I dunno about all, Hurricane Katrina looks a bit sad about what it's doing.

Its definitely not happy about it.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 7 points 1 month ago

It turns into a furby.

Somebody has a case of the Mondays

[–] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's not a demon, it's an unseelie prince of the Sidhe. Look at the ears and the crown. It's not that we should pray to Jebus for protection, it's that we should stop dumping CO2 into the atmosphere and pissing off the winter fae.

[–] dharmacurious 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm going to venture a guess that you're a Dresden files fan, yeah?

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or the Laundry series by Charles Stross.

[–] dharmacurious 1 points 1 month ago

Ooh, I dunno that one

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago

That's clearly a thallion of the shadow court

[–] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

It looks like tits.

[–] coffee_whatever@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

All I see is a trex head facing the viewer.

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 3 points 1 month ago

All I see is a flame-type Pokémon. Kinda cute, really

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Checkmate, atheists.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

There's another storm a-brewin'.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

This is hilarious!

How is this a bad thing? You're looking from the top at an alien who has the lord simba tattooed on the scalp. That's the sort of alien I want coming to earth. They'll be singing and dancing, interacting with the wildlife, and returning earth to nature as they use the set-phasers-to-kill setting on their happy guns.
