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.

When you use a circular argument, but you are unable to see where exactly your logical error is.

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

Just its center BH.

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." 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...

a) Good luck in solving differential equations that way! ...

b) Since math is math ... there you go dad, do this double integral! ...

Genius, whoever made this.

Spoiler: Mistranslation

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
