A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market.

    I think you overestimate the quality of many humans’ eyes. Many people walk around with slightly bad vision no problem. Many older folks have bad vision even corrected. I cannot distinguish between 1080 and 4k in the majority of circumstances. Stick me in front of a computer and I can notice, but tvs and computers are at wildly different distances.

            Oh look I’m a human I only have two arms and can’t even squirt ink at people. Oh ha ha I have all these stupid bones so if I’m locked in a prison I can’t get out, like a loser.

          Seriously. Eyes basically disprove intelligent design because they’re kinda shitty at what they do.
