An Arrow That Can't Point Left Puzzles the Internet

from the no,-your-other-left dept.

This arrow looks like it is pointing right but it's actually pointing left. This illusion relies on a clever combination of reflection, perspective, and viewing angle. The illusion arrow was invented by mathematician Kokichi Sugihara of Meiji University in Japan. Understandably, people vented their rage on social media.

    In a few centuries some archeologist AI will unearth this, search his* knowledge base, and conclude this arrow always pointing right was the progressives' scapegoat finder. Correct conclusion BTW.

    *)AI is mostly male except for automotive AI always complaining and requiring maintenance, which is female. Oh and tamagochis are very very female.

    Ironically they found your posts and began the Butlerian Jihad. Some academics argued that BOT was more of a script and not a true thinking machine, but the others just said, "better safe than sorry."

    You happy now? Causing the xenocide of your own kind?

      Xenocide? They don't keep backups? Nah.
