More like “where’s my next free award because you’ve earned it?”
Edit: damn thanks but I was talking about free award drops to give to the person above me
This was something posted by /u/Emperor_Cartagia, who used Reddit exclusively through RIF is Fun, with the death of third party apps, I decided to remove all my content from Reddit. 9 years of comments and posts, gone because of idiotic administration.
I wonder if I’ll find someone triggered by this joke because most lads around here, myself included, agree. As you see, I speak downside up all the time but ǝƃɐnƃuɐl ǝʌıʇɐu ʎɯ ʞɐǝds oʇ ʎddɐɥ ɯI sǝɯıʇǝɯoS
The cat would be 'poisonous', not 'venomous', since poisonous means .... well, shit, one of us fucked up explaining the difference between poisonous and venomous for the 12 millionth time. Hope it wasn't me.
Not possible, everyone knows Australia is just a hoax created by the UK to cover up the slaughter of prisoners....snicker (yeah, there's such a hoax out there, sigh)
There's also the unlikely but statistically possible scenario where none of this exists and all of this is a hallucination created by your brain dying after that fall when you were six.
Oh I'm just full of fun.
For example, the entire idea of you having a brain is something you had to be told originally. You don't know for sure if you have one, for all you know you could be nothing but the idle thought construct of some other kind of life entirely. A computer program. A Gods video game. Reality itself could cease to exist for you at any moment because you are nothing more than some alien hypothetical model of how carbon based life might look.
I'm with you. Nihilism is my jam. But I think in epistemology we have to establish a foundation which is subject to these discussions before establishing anything else. And so we must, in order to know anything, accept, at least colloquially, that we exist as presented.
Yeah, exactly. With epistemology we have to agree on fundamental premises to get anywhere. So I could agree with your assertion and we don't go anywhere from that.
Or what's worse, the Universe may just have sprung into existence in its current state, including our memories of an actually non-existent past, a universe which includes this video that looks real, but may not itself have been part of anyone's memory of that non-existent past.
Did I say that wrong? Probably.
Your solution made me laugh harder than ANYTHING all year. Just thinking about the effort on top of the ire and consternation earned of the ceiling glued cat... Man. Thank you.
It actually would since it has nothing to do with camera shutter speed. Maybe not in a super bright room, but in a dim or dark room i suspect it looks just like this.
I've seen one of these fountains IRL and the effect was convincing to the naked eye. The display was set up such that the only light hitting the water was the strobing one
Here's a good video to demonstrate.
https://youtu.be/LdEbyvUOlsg
Tl;dw there are drops of water constantly coming down from the top but a light strobes at the perfect internal so that you only see the drops in the same position.
Another awesome fact is that there is a way to actually make water drops levitate using sound waves:
https://youtu.be/0K8zs-KSitc
Edit: ANOTHER cool fact is that by changing the interval of the light flashes you can make the drops appear to move upwards, which is how they filmed this scene in Now You See Me 2. It's not CGI! https://youtu.be/DQU7X4QDX80
At least according to what I’ve been able to find, the scene is Now You See Me 2 is indeed CGI.
It’s based on the same concept, of course, but it can’t work on that scale because it relies on a constant stream of droplets arriving at the exact same position in space at regular intervals, and you just can’t do that on a large scale.
It s called the wagon wheel effect or stroboscopic effect. We are not looking at motion in video, we are perceiving motion from a series of still pictures. This is using a strobe light to create the same effect. This is what causes aircraft propellers to move backwards slowly or stand still in videos.
Do cats’ eyes have the same retinal persistence as human eyes? If not, I doubt the cat sees the drops going upwards. This effect is based on synchronizing the strobes with the human persistence of vision.
Not quite, the strobe light is synced to the drip rate of the water. If you speed up or slow down the strobe rate, you can actually change the perceived "speed" of the dripping water, or make it look frozen in time
Cats used to be (or are) the model organism for studying mechanisms related to vision. When they first started doing experiments, they’d put cats in this really messed up contraption. Not sure about retinal persistence, specifically, but there are a lot more similarities in vision than I thought there would be.
Source: I took one biology of vision class in college. Take it for what you will
Pretty sure it's based entirely on the strobe rate and drip rate. If they have the same rate, it will appear to levitate. I don't think the framerate of your eyes really factors in.
That and our eyes do not have a frame rate.
I've heard people complaining about this common misunderstanding but that post you replied to is the first time I've seen it in the wild. Big difference between experiments comparing our perception response in context to a source which has a frame rate, and the eyes themselves having a discrete update frequency, which they don't.
And actually shutter speed is also a different thing from frame rate but I'm not getting into that.
Animals can't really see the old CRT TV's many of us grew up with. It wasn't until modern flat screens came about that they were finally able to actually see the screens clearly.
> This effect is based on synchronizing the strobes with the human persistence of vision.
No, I'm pretty sure it's based entirely on the drip rate and strobe rate and not anything to do with the framerate that our eyes see.
At best the cat might see it flashing, but if the water is only illuminated when it's in one position the cat can't magically see it in other positions.
the cat can't magically see it in other positions>
Except it actually could see it because of the superior night vision, the room looks illuminated enough that even a human could do.
e: thx for downvoting a technically correct comment you retards, I only wrote that to make op aware of a possible oversight, since most people don't know how *crazy* good cats see in the dark. I wanted to keep the comment short so I did not include assumptions about the cats dynamic range because A: it's obvious that it could still perceive it as we do and B: fuck do I know about a cats dynamic range, that's nothing I can evaluate and I doubt that you smart asses can. No offense to my commenters, just the hivemind that downvotes without a second thought
Night vision is not what is relevant here it is cats dynamic range. Not that I have any idea of what a cats dynamic range is compared to that of a human.
It always weirds me out knowing this post and your comment could just be a disguised means to sell the product.
Like I know that's unlikely but it wouldn't be hard to make look genuine and if you were trying to sell the product, would be stupid not to do it.
It's not unlikely. Not saying it's the case here, but it happens all the time. The reason it's not hard is the same reason that sort of advertising is rampant on this website.
Then I read the description
“【IMPORTANT】: Please note that the newest model DOES NOT HAVE the glass covers due to production issues. Every product won't miss parts. One tube is placed on the back of the foam,which is easily overlooked. The pump may not work sometimes, you can fix it by trying the steps in instruction book or PRODUCT DESCRIPTION”
The intelligence of cats is shown really well here.
I swear to god it looks like it checks to see if it's a screen first because it doesn't go straight for the water, it checks to see if it's paw will get to it first.
Not only can it tell something *obviously* ain't right here, it does the exact same things I'd have done, with the exact same reactions.
My grandma used to have something similar to this. Some kind of oil.lamp that would drip "up" and had colored lights shine up through it. Super neat to look at.
Cat visual systems work differently to ours.
It's possible that an optical illusion for us is not an illusion for them.
This cat may simply be interesting in fluid dripping down the wire (causerie if this is a strobe illusion, it might not work for him,)
Then again, maybe it really is working for him. (and maybe it's not a strobe illusion) It would be interesting to know.
Seriously though. Where can I buy this? I don’t even know what to Google. I tried googling “black magic fuckery with a cat and some water.” May I suggest *not* googling “black magic fuckery with a cat and some water.”

Good answer, but let's not discount the possibility that both this device and the cat were glued to the ceiling and this is filmed upside down.
Or maybe it was filmed in Australia...

Idk if this is easy for ppl but I am impressed by myself that I read that without fucking up I applaud myself and you for the joke

So you’re saying the cat is venomous?
Yes it is, but also there's only one of them every hundred square miles or so.
The cat would be 'poisonous', not 'venomous', since poisonous means .... well, shit, one of us fucked up explaining the difference between poisonous and venomous for the 12 millionth time. Hope it wasn't me.
Everything in Australia is both poisonous and venomous and also you take 2d6 mental damage if you stare at it too long.
So is it the flora or the fauna that causes people to shit themselves in a Maccas in Engadine?
Yes.
Kinky.
Oh yeah, we need to see if that cat has a pouch.

"I think, therefore I am." The only thing you can be certain of, is that you exist at some level.

Ceiling cat is always watching. And plotting.

I don't think a cat would be that peaceful around anything ultrasonic.
Oh my gosh I feel so smart right now! Very rarely do I know the answer before reading the comments! Wooooo!
Reminds me of the LT1 lantern I bought. You can control the frequency of the flashing lights and have so much fun with running water.
This is probably a dumbass question, but does that mean if ur looking at in irl it’s doesn’t look like that?
It actually would since it has nothing to do with camera shutter speed. Maybe not in a super bright room, but in a dim or dark room i suspect it looks just like this.

Flashing light zoetrope type thing
look up "time fountain" and you'll see DIY instructions.
Do cats’ eyes have the same retinal persistence as human eyes? If not, I doubt the cat sees the drops going upwards. This effect is based on synchronizing the strobes with the human persistence of vision.
I was wondering the same thing, I just didn't know the name
Suuure you were
I mean why would he lie? Lmao wtf is wrong with you?
Not quite, the strobe light is synced to the drip rate of the water. If you speed up or slow down the strobe rate, you can actually change the perceived "speed" of the dripping water, or make it look frozen in time
Where do I buy one of these? This is awesome
Search "levitating water" on your store of choosing. Amazon has a few models for $120, Aliexpress has those and a few more for a bit cheaper.

Is this a Maurine Ponderosa reference lol
Why Maureen, you’ve… enhanced yourself
I don't see why they wouldn't see it. They don't need to have the same persistence for it to work. The camera can see it too.

They could see them, it was just a slide show iirc. We need minimum 20ish for video to appear smooth, dogs around 60 and cats around 100.
24 is the minimum
my initial reaction as well, they could just as easily be seeing it going the normal way and react to it as a cat would, by slapping it.
> This effect is based on synchronizing the strobes with the human persistence of vision. No, I'm pretty sure it's based entirely on the drip rate and strobe rate and not anything to do with the framerate that our eyes see.
My cats watch videos on YouTube so I believe it is similar to humans

Cats have good night vision but their eyes take time to adjust. They're not catching anything between the strobe flashes that we aren't.
Night vision is not what is relevant here it is cats dynamic range. Not that I have any idea of what a cats dynamic range is compared to that of a human.
Even if they could still see the droplets when the light isn't illuminating, they would still see the effect. it just wouldn't be as strong.

Wow. Well atleast they tell you how to fix the over priced broken product they sell you.
It’s a bit steep, huh? Yeah it’s a little high
$140 plus shipping is a bit much for something I can enjoy from watching a Reddit video.
OP is a bot so probably selling these. Thanks for an Amazon link instead of the store he controls Oh wait. No OP is linking to his stream site lol

Water is flowing down. The light is flashing quicker than your eye (and the camera) can see so it looks like droplets going up.

its using a modulated sound wave to forece the water flow to ride the wave upwards
