I am unable to do the magic eye things, my eyes just don’t focus on that way. Good thing I never am required to

    I am with you on sewing machines, I have run it slowly while watching and it still breaks my mind. I don’t understand how the stitch can hold, what it looks like it’s doing would just unravel. It’s like it defies physics.

      Absolutely. I watched a great video explaining how it does it and felt like I understood for five minutes, and I know it’s something about putting loops through loops through loops forever, and yes it absolutely does unravel if it’s not secured at both ends, but the way it threads the new loop through the old loop with a wheel that keeps turning in the same direction all the time, that is just pure magic and has no right to be possible in regular three dimensional reality.
