    My take on dresses is that the third one is the best, the second is a Dalton brothers cosplaying and the first one looks like an old times bathing suit.

    Explanation: In WW1, a curious form of camouflage known as razzle-dazzle was used on ships. Rather than trying to hide the ship, the intent was to make it difficult for submarines to determine a moving ship’s exact direction and speed, which are necessary when trying to figure out where to launch a torpedo to intercept it.

    … we’re still not sure if it actually worked.

      The idea was that it would make figuring heading and speed hard to figure out. The guns were reaching at ranges where you needed to know that fairly accurately to land a shot even close to that.

      The reason the dazzleflage went away was radar, which didn’t care about paint or even being close enough to be seen.

      And modern digital camo is like when your GPU is dying (or old solid green fatigues if your gpu died that green type of death instead)

    This again?

    Last time this got posted, it was determined that the poses and dresses are real and different. It’s not one image with 3 patterns. It’s 3 pictures of the same human wearing 3 different dresses. So the poses, and therefor the width of the human in pixels, is, in fact, different in each pose.
