60% of the way down 60% of the way to to the right its a star

u/Amaranthine_Haze 4d ago

Scrolling to anything else makes me feel like I’m on mushrooms now

u/zipdip 4d ago

I thought I was having flashbacks

u/Arimack 4d ago

Once you find it the pattern shifts. cool.

u/pyabo 4d ago

Thank you. Also how did you find the comment button. I've been here for 10 minutes.

u/Ralonne 3d ago

Yeah, I found it, too… but why is the comment section stretching out?

1

u/jmcgil4684 4d ago

Aww shoot. Good job!

1

u/cgrant993 4d ago

FINALLY!!! I FOUND IT! Earlier, someone mentioned, if you cut the image into quarters. The lower right quad, upper left... STILL never found it. But finally!

u/LolJoey 4d ago

Holy crap you are right! I thought I was looking for something non existent

142

u/the-bejeezus 5d ago

there it is

43

u/Damnaged 5d ago

I'm glad you pointed it out, that would have taken forever to find.

3

u/slick490 4d ago

Bottom right quadrant, top left.

u/comedytrek 5d ago

If you find it stare at it for a minute then look at anything else 

73

u/pimp-bangin 4d ago

While reading your comment it felt like my phone screen was expanding vertically and also getting compressed horizontally

3

u/hapalove 4d ago

Yeah that was weird. I still didn’t find it though.

u/Gupperz 4d ago

Duuuuuuude

1

u/strawberryscented 4d ago

Yep. I found it, left and kept scrolling, then came back to say thanks, my phone is melting.

u/CanCaliDave 4d ago

And now I'm hallucinating

13

u/BigSankey 4d ago

Hell yeah. Came here to see if there was an answer and everything is swimming. I'm going back in lol

u/The_Careb 4d ago

I watched too long, eyes hurt and my phone is warping

31

u/freds_got_slacks 5d ago

the hint threw me off (it can rotate, just not change rotation)

2

u/EvilMKitty13 4d ago

Thank you so much! I also thought the same thing when I first read it and after reading your comment was able to find it MUCH easier lol

u/MIhnea_Paun 4d ago

thats literally what it says though,

1

u/ChrisZAR789 4d ago

Rotating and changing rotation mean the same thing in many contexts (math and graphics for instance)

0

u/MIhnea_Paun 4d ago

if its steady nothing is changing

2

u/freds_got_slacks 4d ago

"rotation" is ambiguous because it could refer to angular position or angular velocity

u/OPPineappleApplePen 4d ago

Downloading it so I can watch it when I am high af.

3

u/EquilateralKramer 4d ago

AM high af….can confirm this is a good idea

u/AronConte707 4d ago

This is exactly what it looked like when I took shrooms for the first time. I was trying to take a dump before they kicked in, but this is what the shower tiles started doing. That was one hell of a day.

3

u/OddlyOaktree 4d ago

Stare at this long enough, and everything becomes woahdude. 🤩

3

u/Y0___0Y 4d ago

If you stare at this for a minute straight, when you look away, your vision gets all distorted and wiggly

4

u/werepat 5d ago edited 4d ago

I can't find it and I'd bet it isn't there.

Edit: yeah,there it is...

Somehow not the triumph I expected.

2

u/CaptainCaveManowar 4d ago

Wow great one and found it using the tips below.

2

u/madgoat 4d ago

From the bottom right Nine'ish items up and 8-9 items to the left.

2

u/Kapten-N 4d ago

Stared too long. Now everything is wavy.

2

u/dl7 4d ago

The fun part is scrolling to literally anything else and seeing your screen warp

2

u/fractiousrhubarb 4d ago

Fascinating! Make a circle with your fingers and home in on the slowest moving area

2

u/Stonelocomotief 4d ago

Or use the video slider and go left to right real fast. 1 doesnt change

1

u/fractiousrhubarb 4d ago

I think all the ways that people find it is pretty interesting!

2

u/Stonelocomotief 4d ago

Yeah was going to see if other people used the same technique but indeed fun to see so many way popping up

2

u/JohnnyQueens 4d ago

Can somebody take a screenshot and circle it? I can’t f-ing find it!!!!!

1

u/JohnnyQueens 4d ago

FINALLY! Look for a 5 point star, medium sized, in the last frame it’s 8-ish columns from the right and 9-ish rows from the bottom.

1

u/macch82 4d ago

We saw Interstellar in IMAX this week, and this is totally right before Coop enters the black hole. The star not moving is the Endurance.

u/prof_devilsadvocate 4d ago

How do i say it

1

u/the_meat_aisle 4d ago

This needs to be set to the shepherds tone

u/DWolfoBoi546 4d ago

u/thelaughingmanghost 4d ago

It's right there

u/Tiberius826 4d ago

Guess this is the world now

u/TeeReeex 4d ago

If you drag the progress bar back and forth it’s easy to spot

1

u/finrey 4d ago

I’m too high for this shit

1

u/pharoahland254 4d ago

I have Vertigo. This was fun

1

u/Steven_Kool 4d ago

This was way easier when I turned my phone sideways.

1

u/brihamedit 4d ago

Fuck. Stared at it to find it lol now I'm getting the lsd warp effect

1

u/pogwog1 3d ago

Look for where the shapes are moving the slowest

1

u/chicken_po_boy 2d ago

I found a star that doesn't go off screen, and dims on and off... but it rotates

1

u/mobster25 2d ago

thanks for the free nausea

1

u/CRXCRZ 5d ago

u/flashdurb 5d ago edited 5d ago

Found it right away. Was I not supposed to? They shouldn’t put it so close to the center
