More wasted time with ascii
Remember those magic eye posters from 10-15 years ago? The ones where you make yourself cross-eyed to reveal the hidden 3D dinosaur, Eiffel tower, city, landscape, solar system, or whatever, and then proceed to describe it in painstaking detail for your unfortunate buddy who can’t see anything but a bad collage?
Well, they’re called autostereograms and they really do involve brain trickery. Even more tricky is that you can make an autostereogram using nothing but ascii characters.

Even cooler is that you can make a a moving ascii autostereogram - check out Julius Kammerl’s example. It’s a bouncing ball, but I didn’t tell you.
