Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

Im convinced that anyone that says they can do a magic eye is part of a conspiracy against me specifically.
Like, why would you lie about this?
Lol, just go cross eyed and focus. It's not that hard
Except you don't go cross-eyed, since that will make this (and most) appear inverted. You make your eyes go parallel and then line up the repeating parts of the doubled images.
Maybe you've been told this before, but here's what works for me without fail.
Put the image right up to your face, I'm talking like touching your nose. Then slowly pull away, really slowly. Don't move your eyes, keep them looking at and focusing however they are as you pull back. If you pull back too quickly, you can miss the moment it "pops". If you get more than a six or so inches away from the image and there hasn't been a pop, restart and adjust speed of pull back, it may take some fine tuning.
If this does work and you begin to see the layers "pop", don't get overly excited and try to look at the popped out part, because moving your focus or eyes too quickly will just drop the illusion. Keep pulling back at that steady speed until you have the full image in your field of view.
At this point, I usually can start looking around the image without losing it.
This is a little harder with screen, which is emitting light and can strain your eyes, but still works overall. Just tried it with this one after having not done one of these in years, and got it immediately.
