Most cups on tv are empty unless the beverage is important to the scene.

In one of the latest fast and furious movies, they go to Japan (or maybe Korea?) And theybfake eat a whole scene. Just utensils in food. No one even tries to move the food to their mouth.
I noticed this same thing with what was supposed to be an old timey spotlight where it's almost all battery. Actor was swinging it about like it weighed nothing.
Also for a lot of outdoor scenes, at least in soap operas, the actors keep an ice cube in their mouth so that you can't see their breath when it's cold.
If there's ice in the cup it's often made of like silicon (I think) which the thought of just makes me really uncomfortable for some reason.
My wife has this big painting that hangs above our fireplace. It's abstract, just some colored squares and rectangles, kind of blotchy.
One of those blotches looks a hell of a lot like a frog though. Almost like a frog hopped onto the canvas while the paint was still wet.
Can you find the frog?
In the upper left I see a dinosaur facing the sky with its mouth open
Well now there's one more thing I can't unsee
Turns out there's a difference between a pepper and salt shaker. The diameter of the holes are wider for pepper, but you'll see many places put salt in them.

Oof, same for oregano and red pepper flakes. So many pizza places put those spices into shakers with holes that are too small, it's maddening!
I hate you.
Most doors are badly designed: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yY96hTb8WgI
A professor showed us this video on the first day of a design class. Now I'm passing on the curse to you. P.S Sinks are even worse.
I feel like this video has somewhat interesting bits sprinkled within, but for the most part, it sets up a problem most people already recognize, never actually explores why it happens (besides vaguely "money", which I think anyone could guess), and then interviews Don Norman to give the most obvious "no shit" and high-level explanation for creating intuitive designs. We also get the solution to the door problem – which is also trivially obvious.
Vox imo is usually good and in-depth (at least their written work is), so while inoffensive, this really surprised me.
Yeah the video doesn't explain much, just says there is a problem. If you search for Norman Doors there is probably more material out there. We had a presentation with several examples accompanying the video so maybe that's why it stuck so much.
Watch actors and note how/when they look down. This often means they have a mark to hit and need to be in exactly that spot for whatever reason.
There was a random hair stuck to my shower wall that I never removed because it looked like Augumon from Digimon in a Scrooge style set of pajamas (the old timey gown and pointy cap shit).
Did you take a picture of this emergent art for future generations to appreciate?
Going on with your songs theme, in "Shotgun" by George Ezra, right at the start of the second verse, it sounds like he burps. It's "brrrppsouth of the equator"
Thanks for that information😂
Real magenta. It's quite painful to look at.
Oh, you're going to have to elaborate on this. I want to feel your suffering.
I took a design class once. The London Symphony Orchestra logo can be interpreted as either a stylized conductor or the letters LSO; similarly the Spartan Golf Club logo can either be interpreted as the head of Spartan or a golfer taking a swing. The Pittsburgh Zoo logo may be seen as a tree, or a lion and a gorilla.
The GameCube logo: a pair of cubes inside each other, with the G formed by the cube and the C formed by the negative space inside the cubes. The negative space in the camera shutter in the Picasa logo forms a house (a "home" for all your photos, and 'casa' is Spanish for house). The Toblerone mountain has a bear in it's negative space (it's made in the 'city of bears').
The 'tit' in Tostitos is two people sharing chips and dip. The negative-space arrow in the FedEx logo, subconsciously hinting "speed". The Amazon smile logo implies cheerfulness, also has a "speed" arrow, and the arrow goes from A to Z in the design.
Baskin Robbins sells 31 flavors of ice cream, and they've incorporated that number into the BR of their logo. The R in the Tour de France logo is a cyclist. The old Milwaukee Brewers logo was a mitt catching a ball, except the mitt was made of the letters MB. The Washington State Cougar logo is made up of W, S and C.
The 2024 Paris Olympics is both a flame and a woman head
Hippos rapidly flip their tails around while pooping on land, which flings it out behind them. Seriously, look it up on YouTube or something., It's hilarious and never leaves your brain.
