So I made this my desktop wallpaper and stared at it for 30 minutes. I'm proud to say I was able to stop it from moving for about 30 seconds. I am also now blind.

When I was little I had blue wallpaper with little white polkadots on it.

When I stared at them long enough, the dots would appear to pop out of the wall paper, in 3D.

I was a lonely child.

You were probably accidentally treating your wallpaper as a stereogram, or in other words, each of your eyes shifted to be focussed on a different part of the pattern.

The pattern may have been subtly different, which would have had an effect, but your eyes would definitely have been in positions they'd be at for something nearer (or further away) than the wall itself, so your brain would have told you the dots were 3D.

I've been doing this my whole life, tile floors, chain fences, anything repeating. How many layers could you get to 'pop', I never topped 6.

Also, if you haven't already, do the 'eye trick' with this image as your desktop background... doubly mind blowing.

I don't remember ever having counted... and unfortunately, I've found it difficult to do since I got glasses in the fifth grade. Even without the glasses.

lol, maybe it's part of the reason I became near-sighted.

I actually checked to see that it wasn't a .gif.
