This is brilliant.
One nitpick: this is begging to be a stereogram (two side-by-side images for a 3d effect).

Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Oh this is high quality!
Have people always made it their business what other people spend their money on or is this a new thing? I seriously don’t remember so many being people being so butthurt over what others do.
Did the internet make fun for buying a Tesla Cybertruck?
People do it literally every day. That is half of politics.
But also, the main concern with this I think is people driving and crossing traffic wearing them... Which is why there's so much hubbub
Yes, this has happened pretty much any time Apple released a new expensive toy.
When Google Glass was a thing, I remember people being alarmed with the fact that it has a front facing camera and worry it'll be abused to record videos in inappropriate settings without permission (e.g. public restroom). I think there were instances where the glass wear getting harassed because of this. The camera wasn't even turned on by default.
Fast forward today, the vision pro has multiple always on cameras pointing to every direction, yet the thing most people worry about is how goofy it looks?
How times have changed. I guess people are more comfortable getting recorded these days with so many CCTV and smartphones around.
I even remember seeing a documentary about how Google Glass could be used to invade the privacy of people nearby.

Although we have surely become more comfortable with cameras around us more often, if I remember correctly what freaked people out was that there wasn’t a visible indicator when Google Glass was recording.
Had Google added a tiny red LED next to the camera, it would’ve been different.
The camera existing was definitely part of it, not just an indicator light.
Also Google Glass was designed to be "casual" in that you'd always be wearing them passively, even when not actively using them. Therefore you'd have to be aware of the camera on you anytime you're in the room with someone that had them.
Apple's aren't the sort of thing people are just going to be wearing around all the time in casual moments. I mean, some will, but the vast majority of use cases will be purposeful, not just wearing them to wear them.
Yep, they and were called "glassholes".
Not much complaint about the Meta Ray-bans and those have been on sale for years now. Hell, Snapchat had three separate releases of their spectacles product and I really didn’t hear much complaints. All of these products still look goofy.
That's because people are now aware of all of this shit happening, and some discreet day, just flip off the power from the house, doing indescribable things, and listens to the voices in their heads. And nobody will know.
The existence of Vision Pro implies a second, more casual Vision
