That image is genuinely making my brain feel like it's twisting around in my skull to make it make sense, and it's not working.

[–] coolie4@lemmy.world 32 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

The pees were cut and pasted from another picture, but flipped during the paste onto the new picture

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 26 points 20 hours ago

Oh, I know. The trouble is my brain keeps trying to flip to match the peas, then back for the rest of the image. It's just subtly wrong enough that it isn't absurd until you focus on it.

Well in the original image the peas were on the left side. Mirroring was not an option, so the peas had to be rotated

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Flip horizontally then rotate.

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Mirroring is mirroring. It doesn't matter the direction if you will rotate later.

If you only mirror the original image form left to right the peas will not be on the plate

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 0 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

If you rotate them you'll get the exact same result as mirroring from top to bottom.

(Ignoring floating point errors.)

Yes, and it's horrifying for a whole range of reasons!

Up peas / Down peas
Strange peas / Charmed peas
Truth peas / Beauty peas

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

pretty sure the t and b are for top and bottom ?

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That's in the US. Over at CERN they call 'em Truth and Beauty, and I really want that to stick.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 14 hours ago

any particular reason why you/they prefer those names?

this is some Esher-level fuckery

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 6 points 17 hours ago

But you can't actually order them. Unlike None Pizza with Left Beef

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 hours ago

A bad photoshop is definitely grounds for top quality

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

I remember when this was first posted decades ago, I spent a couple of hours photoshopping the peas to make them look right.

[–] dbx12@programming.dev 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Apart from the picture fuckery, who eats peas with french fries?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Angry British noises.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 15 hours ago

Gosh darnit CERN not again! You messed up the peas! The peeasss!!

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It had to be photoshopped because who the fuck eats peas with pie and chips?

Mushy peas, maybe.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 0 points 19 hours ago
