Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 Click to see attachment 🖼️
I wanted to do it at the start of December but the weather was so bad with storms I was stuck in Taupo waiting for it to clear but had to move on since I’m on a tight schedule
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 I'll be in Wellington from 15th to 20th if you wanna meet up lol
That would’ve been cool genuinely, but I fly out of Christchurch in 3 days :(((
Wellington was a cool city imo
Auckland kinda meh
My ferry got delayed too
Ahh nice yeah I think I probably should’ve just focused on one instead of squeezing things in. Missed out Taranaki and Tongoriro which were the only things I really wanted to do there. South Island is going better tho nothing gone wrong yet
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 I hiked the Tararuas, took a train over to Masterton and walked 10 miles to the trailhead and then proceeded to get fucked over by weather for three days and I couldn't summit Mitre peak.
WTF that’s mental 10 miles haha
Yeah I hope you like it and the weather isn’t too bad, it’s small but nice imo. Do you fly out of Wellington then?
Yikes
Denver tho
Goated
I want to go to Colorado that has some great nature
Kribbles, you better hurry and become a Denver expert, despite just moving there
I'll probably be out there in January, and expect you to know all the insider local recs
If you had more than 2 eyes, how many could you close and have it be classified as winking.
- You cannot by definition wink.0 votes · 0%
- Exactly half of your eyes.8 votes · 36%
- Any number of eyes less than the total amount.1 vote · 5%
- Still just one open.0 votes · 0%
- Only one closed.13 votes · 59%
22 votes Poll closed
this should be select multiple
I think that for it to be a wink, there needs to be a current subset of two eyes that are able to catch the focus of an observer, and then one of them needs to close
so it depends on the arrangement of eyes
I asked my sister this to annoy her
then thought it would be a good poll
we need some christmas themed polls next week
3 isn't a real choice, I agree with Bob that it's realistically either 2 or 5 (ignoring the word exact because that's dumb)
but yeah I think that for a wink to happen, you need to meet these conditions:
-Need to be a set of two eyes that can gain focus and trigger the "these are human eyes" response
-# (alternatively, any set of arrangements that can trigger that response, like a 👁️👁️👃 👁️👁️ type thing. )
-One eye, or one eye representative needs to fully close
and then anything that happens to the eyes outside of that subset don't matter. they can do whatever. it doesn't change anything
it's probably honestly 1 until you get to a stupidly large number
what about a medusea Pirate
with a forehead 3rd eye
that's what I was trying to reason around, when it's symmetrically imbalanced
the 3rd eye isn't in the question, unless you're at an angle where you only see it and one other eye
I showed my family your answer Polu
my sister was amused
2 is the cloest to my answer so I'm voting for that but for the record doesn't accurately refelct my opinions
now that I think about it, the real answer is "any emphasized closing of an eye or eyes"
"I think we are all still picturing sexy spiders" - my mom, during the walk home
I am glad the poll is so split. Now that I am home, I agree that 3 of the answers do not make much sense, but I wanted to include edge cases in case someone happened to agree with them
If I could redo the poll, I would have included "all eyes on one half of the face" as an option
Yeah I think considering symmetry or not changes the answer
