My god, it's not quite full of a not-quite-space-filling multi-animal curve. :)

My god, it's not quite full of win. :)

jhvilas October 10 2009, 17:12:32 UTC

jenlight to the rescue! jenlight October 10 2009, 22:55:14 UTC

YOU SKIPPED A STEP

mothwentbad October 11 2009, 01:54:24 UTC

Whatever. YOU broke the fractal, so I have no pity.

LOOK CLOSER

jenlight October 10 2009, 21:18:58 UTC

have you seen this?

Is that site a joke? I can't tell.

Ok forget it. It's obviously a joke. I'm stupid.

mothwentbad October 10 2009, 21:26:42 UTC

Yes I have. Yes it is. The fact that you can't tell is true in a more general setting, and is called Poe's Law.

Time for Google!

I still want to make that Mr. Gruff toy.

Oh ha! There's reference on the RationalWiki entry to that study where people of Liberal and, people of Conservative views watched The Colbert Report and Liberals said he was Liberal and Conservatives said he was Conservative.

You're scaring me.

Somehow, it's becoming less menacing the more complex it looks. A single pic of Acherontia lachesis should suffice.

mothwentbad October 11 2009, 18:08:18 UTC

But it's a fractal fight. It's not supposed to be scary. Well, maybe a little, but more surreal than scary.

jenlight October 11 2009, 19:31:12 UTC

it's a fractal fight.

I wasn't aware of this fact.

mothwentbad October 12 2009, 02:17:06 UTC

It WAS until RECENTLY. Now I don't even know!
