How though?

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.

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.
- nobody on Lemmy is under the age of 30
  My brother in Christ why did this turn into a personal attack?! 😂
- I am 29 ;)
- Nobody on Lemmy is under the age of 30.
  Although I might feel 30 sometimes, I'll have you know I'm a ripe 28 & ¾
- Greetings fellow ~~kids~~ adults.
- My age has been overestimated but never by 13 year.
- I'm only 24 but I'm on Kbin I guess so you got me there
- I'm 24, I can't believe you'd accuse me of such a thing.
- Haha ill do you one better I am 22.
- 24 yo here!
- I... I'm under 30. 🥹
- 21yo here : )
- I didn’t realize the lemmy demographic and how I’m very much not it
- Hey I'm less than 25 :)
- Me who's reading this at the age of 21
- 40s here.
- Insert feel old gif

There was some stupid trend of tiktok of people being confused by it
- 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.
Beware of adding a double slit to the paper and aiming the laser between the slits, weird things might happen.

Funny comic, ~~but wow that compression looks awful.~~

No it's not working unfortunately

People can be so stupid

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 ?
Having met people, I have to agree.
I take this as permission rather than a statement of fact.

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

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.
- 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.
- I watched the anime, your guess is right.

I like the Action Lab guy going through the explanation for this https://youtu.be/ezUmSO_OAxY

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