It seems whatever your brain latches on first.
One time I looked and it was cw, next time ccw.
disturbing.

EDIT: It changes if I close one eye.

EDIT 2: Here is another anecdote-there is a spot in your retina, which has no light receptors, called the optic disk (blind spot). Yet, you don't see a round hole in your vision field.
Your brain performs 'filling-in', like an advanced photoshop and you don't notice anything unusual, the field of vision is smooth. There is some way you can find the blind spot, but it is a bit involved.

Use something small - like a small coin in your hand. Keep it on the side, far from the center of your visual field. For example, keep your arm extended forward while you hold the coin. Look and focus straight ahead, so the coin is on the side of your vision. Slowly bring your hand closer until the coin is "gone". They key is: don't look at the coin. Keep looking ahead. The blind spot is on the side, and you will find it when your hand (that is, the coin) is at the right distance.

its also started one way and then reversed and gone the other way half way through a couple times.

CW for me now, on first (re)sight! It really is unstable, but when it settles it's harder to "flip" than the dishes.

yes, that happened too.

EDIT: at least the bathtub water typically swirls cw (in the Northern hemisphere). The legend says that it goes ccw in the Southern, but HM (or any other "southie") need to make an appearance to confirm if it is so.

... if you focus on the ballerina's foot she goes one direction, focus on the top of the head and it reverses

hmm...not for me
for me if I look at the head, it goes in a certain direction, then reverses, then AFTER it reversed and I look at the feet, it does not change again (for the second time).
The clincher is that it changes once, then stays put (experiences could vary, of course).

56K all the way

 dunno but IWSN.

Try Crisco in a ziplock and stuff it in the couch... no balloon needed.....

... i'm not sure if being just rich is a super power anymore??

... probably you have to be super rich

[sirazimuth]

^I'm rich (in my mind anyway, wtf that means),  but I still have a number like every one else does, rich or poor.

Rich is a state of mind, as long as you have food cloths and shelter you are ahead of most of humanity for its entire history.

[marcus_of_augustus]

^ in fact rich is a number in the mind, like bitcoin ... the trick is getting rest of humanity to believe the number in your mind means the same to them as the same number in their minds

I sold most on the 2017 run-up and didn't want to mention that during the winter while people were suffering because I'm not that kind of person.

Do I wish I had that now?

Yes but do I feel stupid for doing it?

NO

Hahahahaha  fair enough.. .. and how gentlemanly of you not to be rubbing in your smartie pants during the sufferenings of many of us mostly HODLers.

As many peeps who follow this thread likely realize, I have always been a bit too chicken shit to sell large portions of my BTC stash, ever since I got into BTC, even in the 2017 run up and the 2018 correction and various times in-between and even before 2017.

I must be dumb.

Only dumb if you suffered because of that decision otherwise smart.

I actually don't feel as reluctant to sell large portions now, but I just don't know where I would put it, so I suppose, I just remain stuck on the default of ongoingly HODLing and riding the waves... unless something attractive comes along, I suppose.

There is no other place that is safer to hold your wealth so your way ahead of the game.

Anywhooooo.. ... so when did you buy back your BTC.. assuming that you did.. was it incrementally and at various points or did you do a small number of lump buys?  Another part that had always scared me, too is to sell significant portions of BTC (in theory) and then figure out at what points to buy back in... so hypothetically, if I were selling, then I would get nervous and end up buying back with hardly any profits... So not really sure about how to resolve that angle, except the system that I already established for myself, which seems to conform with my comfort levels regarding allocation and largely just staying in BTC.

Well I've already given up more opsec than I tend to but nuff to say I have not sold anything since then and have been adding where I can as this is the safest place to store your life savings.

Lol, guess I'll have to quote you more often to stop you from rewriting history!

Someone should have quoted Bawbs entire history!

I'm sure the f.eds have it all backed up anyway

Damn it, how to I get them to be upside down again.  

I had the opposite problem LOL.

I was seeing them upright the first time. Then I had to find the one to flip them upside down.  

[sirazimuth]

Well according to a famous Stanford University study, seeing them upright....ahhh nevermind....

redacted

I saw what you did there

These cups/plates and a figurine are messing with my head on a quiet Saturday night.
As far as perception goes, there is no objective reality, as expected.
I can almost make myself see either way (on demand).

EDIT: To think a bit more about this, maybe such change in perception and our brains plasticity are the underlying cause of the sudden changes on the stock market or in bitcoin.
Suddenly, the point of view changes 180 degrees. Glass half-full becomes half empty. I remember the change in Feb-March 2000. Suddenly, there was absolutely NO liquidity and you could not sell a measly 1000 shares without a $2 price decline. I was selling out of one stock and had to do 20-40 sells for a 4K shares position (100-200 shares at the time, otherwise the vapid MM just dropped the price like a fiend).

....

usually what messes with my head on a quiet Saturday night comes in a brown bottle.
 ....or on this particular night, it happens to come in a flat green tinged bottle that I mix with a spot of tonic and twist of lemon.... (on ice of course)

Nite bros, as the dude would say...hodel sleep. (before I post something I may regret tomowi)
