If a woman over 50 comes over to your desk to talk about an online document, she is going to touch your screen.

Is it perhaps their throat tufts?
I think at one point I named the pigeons something ridiculous like ‘Montgomery’ and ‘Mr.Smith’ because they look like formally dressed revenue agents coming to investigate my less formal less official chickens

Also, planned obsolescence, maybe even subscription services for eyes. Forbid apple makes a "i-eye" and it being the worst piece of shit to plauge humanity.
True story that actually already happened.

This is relevant for us today. If your fluorescent lights or whatever are at a harmonic frequency with whatever is rotating, it will still look than it actually is moving.
It's called the stroboscopic effect

It’s almost like getting tested for adhd almost guarantees a diagnosis

The local pigeons have divided which lawns belong to whom so every dawn I see the same two pigeons visit (recognisable by irregular coat patterns by their necks)

Doubtful.
Lots of different ways to image things.
For example.. props give off a lot of infrared due to the friction and heating due to compression.
This is part of why prop deice is only necessary for the blade roots.

I know you’re trying to troll at this point, but that’s not where you started. You either are a troll, or you aren’t. Having a pedantic outburst and then trying to cover it up as trolling is so obvious

Cool. I am a “nerd,” if that’s what you want to call someone who knows a lot of random shit.

A self driving car doesn’t need to look for break lights noir headlights. I guess you could run into this issue with something like a traffic light (not at all sure if these work in the same way you’re describing). Either way, an issue like this could probably be solved really easily with regular standards since neither frequency change over time.

Yeah you have to have some limiting because otherwise you are just full of tiny little holes and it defeats the question. Topologically a straw and a donut is the exact same shape. A hole is a hole :p

No, its to alert the tribe to danger. You yell to scare animals, you scream when you are scared.

Have the cameras run at different frame rates. Problem solved
