I had to turn my phone angled away from my face so I'm looking more at the volume buttons than the screen
You're totally right. That was the only way I saw it.
Thank you.
Unfocusing your eyes works as well.
I just turned my eyeballs inside out, easy
I just squinted.
This worked, thanks!
Yes this is fascinating because the thumbnail is undeniably clear, but the bigger and closer you get, it's indecipherable.
I moved my phone randomly from left to right, and that worked for me.
I think yesterday I remembered those ai texts hidden on images and I was wondering what happened to them..
I was making some for a while, but I think the hard part is coming up with new ideas for pictures, and also not getting fatigued from looking through hundreds of similar pictures and thinking "is this one the best? Or is this other one sliiightly better?"
Just ask the AI which one is better
You can still make them! Even on your own if you have a moderately good PC.
It's just that it's kinda useless, and finding a good image for the background is hard. You need something the AI can use to set the brightness, but no matter if it's bright or dark it must still be recognizable as part of the background image. So the image needs to be something without overarching structure. But you need overarching structure to fool the viewer into believing it's just a normal image.
Or maybe I'm just bad at it, lmao
Squinting works for me too btw
The stones will cry nut was how i read it at first and it got a laugh from me
Ok, but wtf does that mean
A reference to Habbakuk 3:11 in the Bible, which Jesus alludes to in his triumphal entrance into Jerusalem (see Luke 19:40). Habbakuk is prophesying against the people of God and saying they've become such a bunch of self-serving hypocrites that even the stones and timbers of their house (figurative or literal) cry out against them.
If you want more explanation, I'm happy to unpack it more, but that's where it comes from.
As to why someone felt it made a good message for a rock wall? I don't know. Often Christians interpret it as the stones are crying out in joy at Jesus' arrival, but that misses the Habakkuk allusion, the political reality of Jesus' conflict with the Jerusalem temple authorities, and the context in which "hosanna" historically gets used.
Christians missing the actual message of scripture?
Impossible.
Now that I know something about it I've lost all interest.
I appreciate your effort and explanation, just not something I want to spend any mental effort on. Cheers
Yeah, immediately deflated once I read it was some dumbass scripture thing
I can understand but it’s actually rather poignant. The idea in scripture is that people are a bunch of hypocrites and worship the trappings of their religion rather than their deity.
That strongly parallels with Christian nationalism.
Is this loss?
For some reason, I thought of Reverend Dexter from Babylon 5
"Every day, here and at home, we are warned about the enemy. But who is the enemy? Is it the alien? Well, we are all alien to one another. Is it the one who believes differently than we do? No, not at all, my friends. The enemy is fear. The enemy is ignorance. The enemy is the one who tells you that you must hate that which is different. Because, in the end, that hate will turn on you. And that same hate will destroy you.", followed by the hymn
It still hits me hard, one of the best juxtaposition scenes in a series. Chilling and beautiful.
For those who still can’t see it:

I thought it had something to do with that penis looking formation in the middle.
Everything looks like a penis when all you need is to get nailed? 🤷
This one took me a while.
The stones will ???
The stones will cry out.
What’s really weird is, once you see it, you can’t unsee it. It’s obvious. The brain is strange.
Well ****help me then
It helps to make these smaller. Look at the dark gaps between the interior rocks.
Yeah I opened in a new window and zoomed out, thought it was "who" in the middle. Then I viewed it on the comments page and saw the thumbnail and went "oh, it's 'The Stones Will Cry Out'".
The stones will cry out.
I find unfocusing my eyes helps with these
That did it for me! Thanks!
Yeah I like to try and go a little cross eyed
holy shit, i am way too high for this
Wow! That's like one of those perspective arts things where you can only see one thing at a time. Invisible until you can't not see it
First time with one of these? They are pretty cool, yeah
I see a zombie giraffe. 🤷
Is this a Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell reference? https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jonathan_Strange_and_Mr._Norrell
