That's really difficult to look at. It's so clearly a spiral, even once you've worked out it isn't.
Try holding your device perpendicular to you.

A little bit of self-criticism.

I do see two circles (by eliminating the illusion) ...
[Thus it's two "circular arguments", not one ...]

I had a software idea I regretfully never have implemented.
The idea was that the software would be an alternative recycle bin, called "the black hole".
When the user would drop a file onto the black hole icon, the black hole software would compress the file, encrypt it and move the file to a random place on the hard drive (without notifying the user where it went).
Totally useless, but I've programmed useless things before. :)

It's tempting to think of particles as little marbles. But look more closely and you'll soon lose your marbles.Paraphrased from Brahic & Webb (27 June 2018), "How to think about… Particles", New Scientist.

There used to be a whole list of these somewhere. It included stuff like "An object in motion will remain in motion at constant velocity until instantaneously retarded by a sufficiently massive object - typically an anvil".

Reminded me of the thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/dx-before-the-f-x-in-integrals.950465/

For what is worth, I remember that my professor of General Physics I had a weird way of doing math. The steps he took while he was talking were very different to what we were used to see in our math classes. I remember that once class was over I told a peer: "Did you see how he made that derivation? Weird. I didn't know what he was doing until he was over." :DD He told me something along the lines: "Me neither. I was baffled."

While [or better after] you tried that you mean.
OK, Now rotate twice and take square root of that! ...
You see it now? ...

It was indeed meant to say "while I tried that". Thanks - corrected. My eyes must still have been spinning...

Genius, whoever made this. :oldlaugh:
It is stated in the source that the original is in Danish, and that there was a mistranslation. It's octopus, not squid. Still, I laughed when they pointed it out in the comments.
you know i just can't shake the feeling that I'm the cat every time
