You may want to use a higher resolution image if you want to demonstrate this effectively

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 109 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it hiding behind one of the pixels?

spoilerLook where the snow makes a "V" shape in the lowe half of the image then go directly down. It is almost directly underneath!

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 93 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know, thank you, I just hate the “can you spot the …?” pictures that are low resolution and poorly compressed.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, it's a well loved meme. :)

Even with the red circle I can’t see it.

Edit: There it is. Wasn’t interpreting the depth of the image right and thought it was supposed to be further away.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Perhaps you could compress the image further into an even shittier format? I can still make out the snow leopard from this one.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

That's just a bunch of pixels from a shitty image

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Holy shit I’m dead

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Goddamn there it, couldn't see it before

It’s insane that this is age-restricted now.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yah, I don’t have a google account so I can’t see it hahaha

[–] grubberfly@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This version is not age-restricted. Plus it's an Invidious link that AFAIK jumps over those.

Enjoy you JPEGs!

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

SO MUCH LOVE

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Seen it before, still clicked. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 58 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe I could see it if you jpeged it further?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 1 year ago

I honestly think it helps with this one

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 54 points 1 year ago

It’s just a snow leopard, you don’t need to censor it with all that blur.

[–] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In my defense, my pattern recognition works a lot better with depth perception and movement

[–] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

With ambush predators, perceiving them by movement is usually too late.

Or more than 2 PPI

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Protip: Snow-leopard is not white

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Dirt leopard

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

I've seen this picture a couple of times, and I remember where he is. Easy, he's... uh... errr...

Damn.

From https://www.escape.com.au/news/snow-leopard-perfectly-camouflaged-in-mountain-terrain-baffles-the-internet/news-story/bcc5e99d35292787175a13f489ebd7aa. Brought to you by reporters copying things of reddit, but at least escape didn't butcher the image, unlike boredpanda.

The photographer's website wouldn't load for me, so I don't know if it has a better quality available.

Saw it too late. Am lunch.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

In the real world there are way more pixels.

This is a shitty image.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 5 points 1 year ago

Gave nose boop. Am dinner.

[–] flora_explora@beehaw.org 12 points 1 year ago

Didn't see it for a good while and was thinking that this was some commentary on why hardly any snow leopards are around anymore because of mass extinctions, habitat loss and climate change...

[–] callyral@pawb.social 10 points 1 year ago

in my defense, i did not know what a snow leopard was and thought it was white like a polar bear

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 9 points 1 year ago

Find the kitty, pet the kitty.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Horrid Vision Simulator is coming along nicely, it's perfectly blurry

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I thought the point was the whole thing was actually tiny, just a handful of snow and small isicles. Then I saw the leopard.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the snow leopard a scientician?
