WW1 experimental camouflage sniper’s suit using the concept of “dazzle.” Dazzle camouflage, also known as razzle dazzle (in the U.S.) or dazzle painting, was a family of ship camouflage used extensively in World War I.
So how well did it work? I can’t imagine it working well when it’s on land, distances are less, you know the size of humans, speed and heading are not factors, anything else?
I say the cliche which stocks to invest in. They will know which companies are big at various times. Lotto numbers if they can get that. Blah blah blah.
After that I’m not sure I want to know the other things. It takes the fun out of life.
I mean there are things that you have to worry about like personal safety. I I doubt there will be another World War so I won’t have to worry about the draft or death. Maybe major disasters so I won’t be there. Civil unrest but I’m fortunate enough to live in Canada.

In the old days I heard they put Vaseline on the camera lens to smooth and blur certain glamour shots, mainly woman but combined with really warm lighting I think it’d work here too. Check that and let us know if that’s the effect you’re thinking.
Also try searching “flashback filter”. You have to be more precise with search terms these days
We all get bored sometimess and scroll mindlessly through various social media feeds, like instagram (fuck you), reddit (fuck you) or lemmy (no offense, love you guys)....
Politicians constantly talk about stopping the illegal immigrants that are coming from Mexico, but putting a wall has never and will never be a solution since the reason why so many displaced keep coming across the border is mostly to escape the crime, corruption, inequality, and violence of they have to live in their home...
The pumps for the natural gas grid won’t be powered though. Now the question is if those have what I assume would be massive generators along the grid, which I doubt.
