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

[-] EvilBit@lemmy.world 109 points 1 month ago

Is it hiding behind one of the pixels?

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 57 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 month ago

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 month 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.

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 month ago

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

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Holy shit I’m dead

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

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] grubberfly@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

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 month ago

SO MUCH LOVE

[-] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] curiousaur@reddthat.com 58 points 1 month ago

Maybe I could see it if you jpeged it further?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 1 month ago

I honestly think it helps with this one

[-] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 54 points 1 month ago

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

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago

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

[-] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago

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

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Or more than 2 PPI

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I love you.

That's literally the funniest thing I've seen all week on Lemmy.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago
[-] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

Op is trolling with the red circle. Look just above it. It's only the leopard's head.

I'm super fun at parties guys I swear

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 month ago

I found il later, but its not only its head, but its lying down with body on left

[-] Masta_Chief@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Oh you're probably right but needs more jpeg

ENHANCE

Come on.... Don't mislead them. Why are you trolling like this. Just look at where the clock handle at 8 will be.

Protip: Snow-leopard is not white

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Dirt leopard

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month 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.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Thanks!!! :) I'm also really curious if people are using newer monitors as I upcycle most of mine and can't really tell. It just looks a little jpeged but not the worst. My eyes are starting to go though haha.

[-] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I nearly always scroll lemmy on my phone, so when I can't find the Waldo right away, I zoom in and start panning around. But with this find Waldo picture, I can actually spot the leopard easier when not zoomed in. It just pops out for me, my cat has probably trained me too well.

I think the issue with the boredpanda picture is that the original photo was already fuzzy (long distance shot I think) and a compressed jpeg. Someone at boredpanda then cut out a too small part of that and jpeg compressed it a 2nd time, giving the leopard additional dazzle camouflage on top of it's natural camouflage.

Saw it too late. Am lunch.

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

In the real world there are way more pixels.

This is a shitty image.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

Gave nose boop. Am dinner.

[-] flora_explora@beehaw.org 12 points 1 month 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 month 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 month ago

Find the kitty, pet the kitty.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month 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 month ago

Is the snow leopard a scientician?
