Wanted to make a South Park joke, but the feminine slang term for friend in Spanish is esa XD

@Dirty Bit  
I’ll lend her The Old Man and the Sea once she’s finished with the mind screw.

@Joseph Raszagal
 
Guess she didn’t favor the gratuitous narratives in the story. You should’ve given her something else. Like…Catcher in the Rye, maybe?

@Dirty Bit  
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.

@Joseph Raszagal
 
What book did you give her?

I offered the nerd a book. The nerd’s still mad at me.
 
What do?

… You know… with hair like that…
 
… she’d make a good tree ornament!!!

It looks super crazy if you take a gif, overlay the frames out of sync, and then apply that filter.

@Badumsquish  
@Joey
 
That’s exactly what it’s doing.

@Badumsquish
 
That’s probably what it’s doing then. The entire point of it is to instantly highlight any differences between an image - so if it’s an entirely black box, it’s safe to merge, while anything else would indicate a different image.

Ah okay ;)
 
@Joey  
Da faq…? Yeah, that is super cool but I don’t get it <:(  
I can sort of replicate it by taking the old eyes, setting them to “Difference”, and overlaying them to the new eyes.

Then I serious’d.

She’s probably upset because you’ve banished her to the moon.

The dupe detection doesn’t automatically merge anything - that would be a massive train wreck due to all the false positives the system generates. It just adds the images to a queue, and then a mod or assistant reviews them and decides if they should be merged or not. I went ahead and rejected the auto-reports since you want to keep both version.
 
A cool thing about the dupe comparison though - it overlays one image on top of the other and subtracts the colors of one from the other, essentially leaving a black box that only shows what’s different between the two. The comparrison for the two eye colors looks evily awesome: link

@Badumsquish  
You can click on the “Report this image” button and explain what it is you’d like to happen, since mods are the ones that actually merge images or not. The de-dupe process just auto-creates a report.

Who spat in your coffee this morning?

@Badumsquish  
If I’m not mistaken, the staff have to sift through every dupe report. So, if they do make a mistake and accidentally merge it, you can message them about it.

@Jarkes  
Is there a way to “unreport” it?

Hopefully the automatic dupe detection won’t end up merging them, since they ARE ultimately different images.
