@Amber Lynne: I didn't know what those were so I had to look them up haha
I think they count! I don't think I can see anything in them tho



I can make it change direction with this one (although I have to try really hard to switch), but not the other one??

For some reason I was under the impression that you can make ground pork with bare hands and HONESTLY that was a low point my bad


@Amber Lynne: Ahh your watercolors are so mesmerizing to watch!

I think these are fun to look at, and interesting to find out how many people see it one way or the other.


I couldn't see the old woman until someone pointed it out to me. But every time I look at it, I see the young woman first.


I can only see it spinning clockwise and I can't make it change ahhh

I think the black/blue and white/gold dress debate was also interesting. I see it both ways sort of simultaneously and it kind of hurts my brain to look at it.

Which way do you see it? Share other cool optical illusions?

@Melaniee: Ahh I missed your ping! Sorry about that.
There's not many details on the event so far, but it's coming in a few days so we'll find out! In the meantime, there's some teaser images in this thread that you can check out.

The situation sounds complicated, and I don't know all the details, but I can maybe offer advice as to what I'd try in this scenario?

He didn't have any bad intentions, but sometimes even the best intentions can be misunderstood by others; I think that's something that happens to a lot people. It's very normal communication is hard haha
And I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing - it's better that he knows rather than have the waitresses always feel uncomfortable without him ever realizing.
If he feels truly awful because of how this has turned out, I think the best thing for you to do is assure him that it's due to a misunderstanding and not because he's a bad person. It seems you have a lot of faith in his good character, and I think it's important that he knows that.

As for how to proceed at work... I think I'd feel very guilty in this situation too, but something that would make me feel better about it would be to make a point to correct myself. I know he doesn't mean any harm, but because other people feel uncomfortable, I think it's best to just not use those words anymore. It can be hard to get out of the habit, but I think if he makes the effort to try that people will understand if he slips up sometimes in the process.
I'm assuming that he doesn't know which waitresses have an issue with it (they were anonymous?), so it'd be difficult to apologize directly for his actions. Still, I think that if he tells people at work that he doesn't mean any harm and is willing to change, it would honestly be hard not to forgive him. His heart is in the right place. It's hard to know what makes someone uncomfortable unless that person mentions it, so it's also nice to let people know that "hey, if I say something that makes you uncomfortable, just let me know and I'll fix it!"

I hope this helps!

I saw it at some point during the day! It changes so rapidly though
Maybe it's so that you can know if you're close to the top 5, so it'll encourage you to post more haha that's what it's doing for me at least

@Amber Lynne: I see! That's a good way to be able to tell how much time is actually spent on them. Do you maybe have them uploaded somewhere?
I do feel like when I draw traditionally that I tend to draw things smaller just because coloring is then a bit faster haha
my worst habit is drawing something small in the center of the paper tho and then there isn't room for anything else oops

@Apollo Im Burning: I think it's really neat that you two have so much to say about your characters!
I'm very curious haha but only if it's not a bother

okios I'm about as bad at cooking in this game as I am in real life, it's too real

@Amber Lynne: wow that's really nice of you!
But don't worry, I'll definitely finish it haha the sheer guilt I'd feel will make sure of that
2 hours is so fast in my opinion!! (I agree though, I think digital coloring is harder haha)
I don't even know how much actual time I spend drawing?? I'm so easily distracted and I have so little focus. If I say I spent 2 hours drawing it'd probably be more like I spent 30 min drawing and an hour and half doing something else in between

@Apollo Im Burning: I'm curious if you have more characters hiding somewhere?

ahh thank you kiwi!!

Uh having actually stayed at a place where the toilets were literally holes in the ground, have to say, not a pleasant experience

Toilet chairs are I guess better but they'd be so uncomfortable to sit on?? I'd probably just never use it as a toilet and instead permanently cover it with a bunch of soft things to make it more bearable to sit on.
