We go cross eyed to bring you this episode about visual illusions, before going on a tangent about social media (again) and whether our podcast is cool or warm toned.

  • “A bird in the the bush” triangle illusion
  • Word illusion in paragraph with jumbled letters in the words: So it turns out that there was no research done by Cambridge University according to this article, but the phenomenon is called Typoglycemia (part of the “Transposed letter effect” article on Wikipedia)
  • “Bad eyes” optical illusion 
  • The Frankfurter Illusion (“sausage between your fingers”)
  • What is a trichologist? (hair loss specialist)
  • So... TikTok sucks (Video by Hank Green)
  • Agents of Secret Stuff (Wikipedia)
  • Agents of Secret Stuff film on YouTube
  • Geoff’s most reblogged Tumblr post (“Japan’s flag is a pie chart of how much Japan is Japan”)
