I'm curious if this relies on the fact that we're looking at on pixelated screens to work. But not so curious that I'll print it out to check.

I've seen this illusion on paper and it still works. Not that printed paper is functionally different from pixels.

Ha, good point. I'm showing my age here. I understand our modern phone screens have resolution approaching that of good print, but when I think of a screen my brain still defaults to something like a 14" VGA at 57PPI :-)
