left brained or right brained Anonymous
if she's turning clock-wise you are more right brained; counterclock-wise you are more left brained.

can you make her change directions on will?

it's sort of old, but it's still fun.

Right brainer.

she's turning counter-clockwise because her hair is swinging to the left

i thought left-brained people were supposed to be intelligent, open-minded, and artistic.

IHBT?

I can change her direction by focusing, is that normal?

If you think this has anything to do with dominance of a certain side of the brain you are a fucking dumbass. Claims of being "left or right" brained are almost always psuedoscientific BS. And theres no left/right brain split for seeing object spinning one way or another

tl;dr Stop being a fucking stupid tool. It's an ambiguous image.

I hate people who use these, say Left or Right.

God, I want to strangle you right now.

It's easy to change it at any time, but if I just opening it without focusing it tend to turn to the left.

you're a fucking retard then, as if something is spinning and is going 'left', then through the other half rotation they will be going 'right'.

it's not our fault if you can't understand elementary principles.

It spins counter-clockwise for me but I know the right/left brain this is total BS.

no.

right and left are relative to the position of the observer, cw and acw aren't, therefore are superior for describing rotational motion and you a shitouse.

I'm not sure if this is a complement or an insult.

>right and left are relative to the position of the observer

It's a picture your position is never going to change, thank you for proving me right.

Artist here,
Just by looking at a silhouette you can't tell wich side the person is facing.
I can change her spinning direction by focusing hard on her shadow.

I can change the direction by looking at its feet

Oh really, what if I tell you something is turning clockwise when I am above it and you are below it?

>right and left are relative to the position of the observer, cw and acw aren't,

Hey dumbass. If you had a clear clock and looked at it from behind which way would the hands spin. That's right shithead. Counter-clockwise. clockwise is also relative to position.

People who care about objective descriptions(physics, engineers etc) use vectors witch are perpendicular to the clock to describe the direction of rotation.

Every time I try to explain someone how to use a screw driver I always tell them CW to tighten, CCW to loosen. Their reaction is almost always a big "huh?".

I have yet to find someone who had a problem with Righty tighty, lefty loosy.

>as if something is spinning and is going 'left', then through the other half rotation they will be going 'right'.

From your prospective yes, but respective to the figure they're only going one way.

I'll explain this the same way I'd explain it to a child. In the attached picture there is a little green monster, his right arm is a blue arrow, and his left, Red. When he puts out both arms he stays still [fig.1] but if he puts his left hand down, only extends his right hand the clock turns to the right (clockwise) [fig.2-3]. If he extends the left hand he turns the opposite direction (counter-clockwise)[fig.5]. He can even change it up and go the other way[fig.6].

Next time don't be a fag, think about the little green monster.

Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey is not a matter of observation, though. It's a constant because you only put a screw in one way - when you're facing it.

And people respond to it better because it's a catchy device. Hardly anybody these days even still has an analog clock...I haven't honestly seen one anywhere since like 1998 and that was in my grandma's house. Most people become unfamiliar with CW and CCW because they aren't around analog clocks very often these days, so it's the kind of knowledge that just gets buried in their minds. They know what those terms mean if they think about them, but it's not right at the top of their brain, so to speak.

It's like if some Britfag says "water closet" in reference to a restroom. Most Americans have heard the term "water closet" before and know what it means, but they might have to stop and think for a second before going "Oooooh yeah, it's called a water closet in the UK sometimes".
