Not me. I had a cataract operation and choose to have the lens in one eye be near-sighted (since they can’t change focus). I can see my phone clearer then I could in my 50s now.

Isn’t that twice as much tarp as you need? 10801080pi for a circle the same size.

Is this another example of him hiding some disguised image, just as he hid a picture of the brain in the Adam And God painting?

Corridor Digital mentioned them recently in one of their videos and had a 5-minute conversion on what the correct term was before finding that Wikipedia page.
I guess you can look at it from two sides (in two ways?)

I was in a company that was slowly downsizing.
I was in one of 6 rooms off a corridor, each room holding two desks (well, one room was storage). As people left, I was the only one left in those rooms, so I used to think of it as “my wing of the building”.

But there are distant trees on the horizon, so if this was, say, maybe a mile away to appear relatively small, those world have to be many more. That works only work on a flat earth.
Also, the moon and sun appear flattened when near the horizon due to atmospheric distortion.

While we’re at it, is a compass needle’s North pole actually a South so that it points North? Or is the Earth’s North pole actually South so that the needle’s North pole points to it?
(I know that I could look this up, I just want to confuse people.)

Someone recently posted this, or a similar picture, and I was about to ask the same question until they mentioned that they’d translated it to English for posting.
Teletubbies do say things such as “eh oh!”, or “Lala ball”. I don’t know if that was subtitled, but The Clangers definitely was.

My son’s homework is frequently in metric (a US school district). Many drinks (wine and sodas) and medicine doses are too. The US uses metric just as the UK still uses miles and pints.

One day you’ll pick up your son for the last time and neither of you will realize it.
I’m fact, he’ll want you to one more time and you’ll put your back out trying. Then you’ll both know.

Oh. Well, I haven’t seen any changes like that. Yet. Still time, I guess.
And also seriously, I didn’t get any eye color change. I also had lens replacements a few years ago, but that didn’t involve a vitrectomy, so I still had floaters at that point.
When I went to a new opthalmologist recently, that asked about my eye health history. It took about 45 minutes!
- Comment on My friends are by my side 2 months ago:
I had a detached retina which involved (spoiler for those that don’t like to read about eyes)
Tap for spoiler
Having the fluid removed and replace with gas. My eye was out of action for months, going through all the stages of gradually refilling itself. I had to stay mostly lying down for a week. For a while I had an effect like looking over the surface of water. Later, a big bubble that distorted vision. Oh also, I was forbidden to go to high altitude because the pressure change could cause damage. But after all that, just a few occasional floaters. My other eye still had lots of “tethered” floaters that seem to still be attached like seaweed strands. So it can be done but you would go through a lot to get there. I’ve heard that people do get that done just for the floater problem.
