I like the content, but seriously I’m baffled as to how this is a science meme?

I would assume because it's related to educating someone about why optical lenses can give an incredible amount of detail that digital just can't compete with. But that's just a guess and that might not even be enough for this forum

~~you people do understand it is fake, and if you zoom on the top right eye, it is not the same as bottom right, right?~~

ok, so to my surprise, it seems to be possible. the difference in the eye may be result of multiple layers of shitty jpeg compression.
