Two slightly off centre parallel universes

THE LINES OF SIGHT CONVERGE ON A SINGLE FOCAL POINT AND ARE THEREFORE NOT PARALLEL!

Fuck! I'm that guy again.

Also the fact that there's no parallax between the photos

For this to be accurate one of them needs to have a slightly different color balance. For some reason I always seem to have a "warm" and "cold" eye

Yeah, what's up with that? Glad I'm not the only one

These are not US and Mexico, just parallel universes.

I think there might be something wrong with your eyes, homie….

I think this meme would be 450% better with parralax

This introduces the possibility that we’re experiencing 2 universes and creating a third within ourselves.

Most of concepts that we assume are intrinsic to reality (like color and sound pitch, or even the feeling of hot and cold) are just our brain interpreting small fragments of physical reality, and then filling in the blanks. Your world is your own creation.

you don't see that there's a thing across the place. you sense that the light that came from it hit your eye. you sense literally only things you interact with directly.

You don't even sense the things you touch directly. You sense atoms in your body being pushed by the atoms in the thing because the electrons get close to each other

Fuck, I just finished Dark Matter and don't get me started on branching realities.

Oh! I’ll have to watch that. Hadn’t realized Apple toys with this theme quite a bit. Constellation had so much promise but it flamed out for me. Severance might be tangentially related with the theme, compartmentalized lives, being equally fascinating.

Mr. Robot and Counterpart did things to my brain questioning reality.

Yeah, it's a pretty good series. It was based on a novel AND they managed to get the novel writer to be the Showrunner. It's a double edged sword too, based on the discussions that I've read, all of the criticisms for the novel also applies to the series as it's a very faithful adaptation.

That totally changes ones perspective

False, this is the same image with 2 different crops. If it was actually taken at 2 different angles there would be depth information encoded in them, there isn't any.

You must be in a parallel universe if you think its the same image

I must be in a parallel universe then, because they're the same image just cropped in 2 different spots. I literally just overlayed them here with one at 50% transparency, there's no ghosting.

This very much might be a me thing, but the meme needs noticeable, but subtle color differences from wye to eye.

It’s like the white balance of the eyes are different. But it’s not always the case.

Interesting. I've experienced that before but not typically. Did you wear those old 3D glasses too long as a kid.
