    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How stressed are you?

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

The pictures attached are used to test the level of stress a person can handle.

One teacher said, "I felt like they were all moving...but slowly. Kind of like, they were breathing."

The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress.

Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly; however, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.

FYI ... None of these images are animated - they are perfectly static!

They are ALL moving when I look at it!! - WebSlave

If I stare at one in particular, it is still. The others all move, but the one I'm looking at doesn't.

Man, I wish I could do that to people.
 
My daughter walked by and said: "They're standing still"

I look at them and they look like someone is twisting them like they are trying to open a combination lock.
 
They were spinning slowly, then they stopped and I'm so stressed out right now I could kick the neighbor's dog!

Guess that means I'm handling it...!:hehe:
 
I know Im stressed and now I have confirmed that Im not handeling it to well lol

They are spinning but not madly.
 
With my glasses on they are barely spinning. However when I take my glasses off (yeah I can still see them LOL) they are not moving at all. What a weird optical illusion.

Looks like there all moving but the one im looking at too...... Maybe im seeing things.... If the voices in my head would shut up long enough i might be able to explain myself better...
 
That is bizarre. I wonder if the effect is the same if someone is color blind? The one I stare at doesn't move but the peripheral ones do slightly. Then there is the floater spot I have in one eye...annoying. John
 
Here's another stress test. How many black dots can you see in the grids? If you can see more then 10, you are under a lot of stress.....

Yeah, the black dots don't stay still long enough to be counted, but the two circular doohickeymajigs quiver but otherwise don't move.
 
The first one has maybe 1 object spinning for me, but if I concentrate for about 5 seconds on any of these tests I can make the movement stop or the dots disappear.
 
The first one, I was thinking....I'm either really old or young. The dot's I think I'm in trouble.........Those pins wheels remind me of the good ol 70's wow man .... Great now the walls in my snake room are breathing!! What?? I thought snakes didn't have vocal cords........I just fed you!! Stop yelling at me!! And Don't pick on the Savannah, he did nothing wrong!! AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGHHHH Make it STOP!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, if I just look at it they are all moving slowly around. If I focus I can make them stop. Weird. I have way too much stress though, spent last night until 4am at the emergency vet and had to be up 730am to work a 16 hr day. :(
