Was the arrow necessary?

Otherwise we know the direction but not the magnitude of the copying.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

yes

Maybe for people not familiar with Mr. Bean's sketch

Or for people who're unfamiliar with how eyes work.

or human behavior in general

It's the force vector he is solving for.

Thank god someone put the arrow or I never would have got that he was looking at the paper.

I think a circle would have helped too

Still easy to miss. Would be better in red.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

I think a zoom blur would make it more impactful too

I even shittily removed the unnecessary people possibly causing a distraction. Unfortunately, red wasn't an option for whatever reason on this phone's editor.

And a paragraph on the back of each one describing what it was.

The paper! Ah, classic! I thought it was pointing to the shadow under his hand and was confused. If only there was a little arrow underneath the big arrow to clarify.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I helped. Also some other parts of the meme needed clarifying.

You got rid of the useful red circle. That was one of the most important parts.

There have been so many images posted in this thread at this point. Which one do you even want me to look at?

A lot of physical laws are really just the inverse-square law in a new wig.
