Do you ever read problems on problem pages and think, divorce isn't going to work for you, lady. Try murder. I mean. Because although I would never murder anyone, I can't help but feel that (a) some problems are intractable, and (b) some people should be culled for the sake of humanity.

I think lockdown is getting to me.

I found myself looking at 3-D pictures earlier, the kind that you stare at until you can see another image inside the morass. This one is a very *odd* hidden image. How would you describe it?

In an odd way, it does fit with today's Sunshine Challenge theme of Yellow. Koff.

I always tend to assume that problem pages only tell one side of the story.

[pensnest]

That's true... I've been reading the Reddit called AmITheAsshole, and the utter lack of self-awareness in some people is astonishing!

Sir Rampant Banana?

[pensnest]

Ahahaha! Excellent! I was calling it Battle Banana, but yours is better by far.

[gwenhwyfar1984]

Yep. I love those but often wonder how people let it get that far. Some are sudden things, like the one I read last week where a husband suddenly got rid of all the electronics and wants his wife to quit her job and have more babies. Most though, it is like you can see it coming.

I can't see 3D stuff. Never have been able to. What is the image?

[pensnest]

watervole calls it Sir Rampant Banana, which is spot-on. Very odd indeed.

Well, on first glance I saw a row of penguins in the middle of the picture. Looked again and saw a row of penises topped by a row of fish. Hidden trickyfish image I conclude!

[pensnest]

Great heavens! I shall look again.

I see a disconcerting banana, part peeled, with sword and shield.

[turlough]

I can't see anything except a multituted of tiny multicoloured shards, but then I generally suck at seeing 3D pics. I've always, possibly unfairly, blamed my astigmatism.

[pensnest]

I'm quite good at letting my eyes go unfocussed, so I can usually see something. This one was tricky to make sense of, given that it is a banana in armour with sword and shield...

[sporky_rat]

Glad to see I'm not the only one with astigmatism that has issues with the 3d images!

[turlough]

Astigmatics unite!!

Oh man, I love playing around with vision like that :D getting it to snap in properly feels like you're suddenly looking at something that's hyperreal, it's so cool. Even when it's something that amazingly silly! xD

[pensnest]

Every few months I feel the urge to seek out and stare at these pics. They are so clever - I really can't understand how it works, but it's cool.

[brandywine28]

YES. How some of the men -- because it's always the men! Always! -- mentioned in those things ever found someone who'd marry them is an infuriating mystery!

Have you ever seen the AITA post about the pregnant woman whose husband and father-in-law were almost certainly planning to kill her? It haunts me.

[pensnest]

I did see that post! Most horrifying. And mind-boggling. I have become somewhat addicted to AITA over the past couple of weeks, though not to the point of wanting to join Reddit and reply.

[brandywine28]

Oh, God, no, I'm purely a lurker. Don't look at me, don't talk to me, I'm not even here, man. :)

But I seriously do think about that woman all the time. I really hope she got out of there.

[pensnest]

Quite so! I dare not get into it, not least because so many posters edit to say stop sending me abusive private messages!. Very bad etiquette.

I suppose we'll never know what happens to her - but if there is an update, it'll be a huge relief.
