Why do they have sharpened teeth? That’s a little creepy

Denvil ,

They’re from an anime, Chainsaw Man. Haven’t watched idk why they have sharp teeth, but my best guess is that it’s an anime where they use their OP chainsaw teeth to make a killing in the lumber industry, that’s definitely what it’s about.

SchmallChild ,

I watched the anime, your guess is right.

They have sharp teeth to show they are demons, I thought. The main dude doesn’t have sharp.teeth until he is made into a demon when his little chainsaw dog replaced his heart.

Others have pointed out there is inconsistencies with this, though. I just figured they were oversights in production and the sharp teeth are still intended to represent when the character is demonic.

Because reality uses Raytracing instead of Screen-space reflections!

Tilgare ,

This is a hilarious and true answer to the question.

People can be so stupid

Having met people, I have to agree.

Tilgare ,

I thought this whole “object behind paper against a mirror” thing was just a meme at first because the result is very intuitive and not at all shocking… But then I guess people genuinely didn’t get it? People really can be so stupid.

It isn’t just a meme ?

Thank your for posting this instead of just being condescending about it being stupid question like most of the people on this thread

I love Power.

lyam23 ,

She’s the best. Chainsaw Man is great for many reasons, but the powerful women with agency is one of the best. Especially for a shonen manga.

Is this a serious question? If you really want an idea of how it works you should get a laser pointer and point it at the egg in the mirror and then put some fog/dust in the beam. It should be apparent what’s happening.

There was some stupid trend of tiktok of people being confused by it

geeraff ,

I see this as many people are curious of why this happens which leads to the eagerness to learn about optics, and I wouldn’t call that stupid.

This is exactly the type of experiment that engages students and ingrains the phenomenon to their memory.

morrowind ,
@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

It wasn’t an experiment. The creators just feign stupidity to generate engagement. I wouldn’t mind if they used it to teach how optics or light work .

Mana ,

That’s a great idea!

jarfil ,

Beware of adding a double slit to the paper and aiming the laser between the slits, weird things might happen.

dessimbelackis ,

Lights a funny thing, innit?

some_guy ,

That’s a cool trick. I didn’t know about it, but it also didn’t surprise me. I did test it to confirm first, though.

zifnab25 ,

Its an optional illusion. Nothing exists and we are but the stuff of dreams.

saintClass ,

If the illusion is optional, how do I toggle it off?

btfod ,

It’s optional for the people on the other side of the mirror only

fox ,

Just close your eyes. Illusions don’t work if you can’t see them expert-shapiro

Thank you! Updated the post 👌

papajohn ,

I don’t know how to comment when I see this. I want to talk about how this works, but most people know how this works. So I don’t know why its a thing. Its funny though.

Mana ,

I would like to hear an actual explanation. I don’t know shit about light physics but my attempt to explain it is that the trajectory of the light is such that it reflects off of the egg into your eyes and that it is this trajectory that is reflected in the mirror.

fristislurper ,
@fristislurper@feddit.nl avatar

I mean, yeah, basically. It’s really not very complicated.

Ghost33313 ,
@Ghost33313@kbin.social avatar

My wife was having a brain fart once and knew there was a logical reason but couldn't figure it out atm. So I drew a diagram top down geometry class style. Set her straight just like that. It's just the light bouncing at an angle so that you can see what is on the front of the paper.

dreadgoat ,
@dreadgoat@kbin.social avatar

This particular version is more about the characters depicted (Denji and Power from Chainsaw Man), who are famous for being endearingly stupid.

The more earnest versions you tend to see on TikTok are mostly posted by, or at least targeted at, actual kids who don't yet understand how vision works. Nobody on Lemmy is under the age of 30.

Man if you’re hexadecimal years old then go right ahead, use it now.

He’s been okay to use it for 16 years.

16 is wrong, as that would be 10. 2E = 46
