/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

spoilerIt's two Romulan warbirds. I'm sure someone else can back me up for the non-believers.

Normally I can get these easily but my eyes just can't work this one out

The size of this image is making it a little weird. This one was clearly designed to be a full-sized poster, and unless you're viewing the image on a very large display, it kinda pushes the amount of convergence that your eyes have to do into the slightly-too-small range.

That means you're likely adjusting your eyes to a point that doubles the correct convergence distance, and you're getting a garbled image.

Even when you do get it to appear correctly, the too-small size will make the illusion of depth somewhat less effective than it would be if you were looking at it, in the intended scale.

EDIT: The source for this knowledge = every book about stereograms that I could ever find. Which was weirdly only a couple that actually discussed how they work, rather than just having a bunch of them printed. But I was legit OBSESSED with stereograms, back in the 90s. I read about them the way a kid who suddenly grows past 6'4" suddenly starts reading about basketball.
