Fucking android phone. Flips it.

[–]c4ntr34dth15 8 points9 points ago

Turn off auto rotate.

Or

Flip it really fast.

Or

Lay it on a flat surface and walk around it.

Or

Hold it and jump 10 feet in the air.

[–]Meudhros 6 points7 points ago

4th option is clearly the best.

[–]Garizondyly -1 points0 points ago

Or on iPad- double click home, slide right, lock orientation.

[–]MCSArts 13 points14 points ago

I just picked my laptop up and flipped it manually. However, i flipped it in Photoshop for desktop users :) http://imgur.com/AiUKR

CTR Alt Down didnt work for me, but it's called

the thatcher effect

[–]andrewsad1 0 points1 point ago

That first image is kinda scary...

[–]John_Fx 11 points12 points ago

TIL: Ctrl + Alt + Down will flip my screen.

[–]CptOblivion 1 point2 points ago

What system are you on? Doesn't work on windows 7.

[–]lesleythegreater 1 point2 points ago

Sure does. I just did it. :)

[–]CptOblivion 0 points1 point ago

Let me rephrase: It doesn't work on a stock install of windows 7 pro 64 bit. Seems odd that this would be different on different versions though, is there a setting you have to enable?

[–]HALF_BONER 1 point2 points ago

Let me correct you both. It only works when you are using an Intel Graphics Chipset, namely an integrated desktop graphics processor. Usually seen on cheaper PCs or work PCs that don't have a graphics card.

[–]CptOblivion 1 point2 points ago

Ah, didn't think of that.

[–]pisanty 0 points1 point ago

No it doesn't...

[–]tanjoodo 1 point2 points ago

It only works if you have an Intel graphics chipset, so if you can't do it, it's a good thing. It means you have a decent graphics card, or that you don't have the Intel drivers.

[–]lompocmatt 2 points3 points ago

Fuck you. I will not sleep. Ever

[–]FormalAss 2 points3 points ago

DAFUQ

[–]therealbighairy 4 points5 points ago

I still would.

[–]BigDickDan 0 points1 point ago

darn tootin

[–]MrDysprosium 3 points4 points ago

Can someone explain why there is such a difference between this photo being upside down and right side up vs other photos under the same conditions?

[–]castellar 1 point2 points ago

I can't flip it but I know some basic traits that might be there.

Looking at it as best as I can I think the entire eye section might be completely flipped. Most of the stuff is flipped over like the eyes, so the face being upside down you look at independent pieces and they all look like they are correct. But flip the face everything is now upside down.

[–]MrDysprosium 1 point2 points ago

interesting... thank you.

[–]UnitaryBard -1 points0 points ago

Your eyes automatically invert the image to compensate the rest of the image upside down. It tricks your brain but it has the opposite effect when looking at the flipped image.

[–]UnitaryBard 1 point2 points ago

Lol, the eyes are flipped.

[–]dulcislol 1 point2 points ago

NOPE.

[–]EmptyChair 0 points1 point ago

...this again? are we done with this yet, or?

[–]ehjayred 0 points1 point ago

So, it just looks like the mouth and the eyes haven't been flipped with the head.

[–]stfm 0 points1 point ago

Boring into my soul

[–]wolffangz11 0 points1 point ago

How do you do this on a Mac

[–]CptOblivion 0 points1 point ago

I don't get why this weirds people out. They look super bizarre when they're upside down (I mean, their eyes and mouths are upside down in relation to their heads, how is that not weird?)

Why do people expect them to stop looking weird when you flip the image over?

[–]superbean69 0 points1 point ago

lol. the reason it look so odd, is becuz the eyes on the mouth (including the shadow right around them) were flipped upside down in contrast to their face, so when they are upside down their features seem normal.

[–]TheHalfsightedOne 0 points1 point ago

They all look like Hitler.

[–]Adonej 0 points1 point ago

They are all Steve Buscemi...

[–]Arbiter577 0 points1 point ago

gonna go have nightmares for the rest of my life thxbai

[–]TheHardcoreHammer 0 points1 point ago

Nightmare fuel. Forever.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

i couldnt press ctl alt down so i turned my laptop upside down and was so surprised that i dropped my laptop on my toe and it is now probably broken

[–]merix1110 0 points1 point ago

yet here you type on it still.

[–]Zeldon -1 points0 points ago

Umm, I think he meant his toe was broken. Or did I misunderstand?
