The greasy thumbprint by the tack sells this. Maybe it's a shadow, but it doesn't look right

That is a shadow from the clear thumbtack head. We had those at work.

But what does a greasy thumb print add to this?

Boss makes a thousand
I barely one
I keep my head low
I get my work done
But nothing improves
If we all play along
So I'm joining a union
Together, we're strong

It's amazing how effects that were so convincing can become so obvious and dated.

The greasy thumbprint

I think those 3 pixels are the tacks shadow. It's clear, so the needle would still cast a shadow

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Even "clear" things cast shadows. If you can see it, it's because some of the light is bouncing off and reaching your eyes, so at least that much light won't make it to the page

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Right. I guess I meant the needle would cast a shadow as well as the plastic

I think it's too big to be a shadow, but I'm not a detective

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

It might be multiple overlapping shadows. blobfox, blobfoxdetective

Yeah but the greasy thumbprint is funnier

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago

Ah a shit carrot to distract from the shit stick. How about money? It's literally why we showed up.

It might not be so bad, in the long run it encourages you get a more permanent break from that workplace.

I too appreciate when entities take the mask off
