Friendly reminder: Your face looks worse in selfies. Left one is a picture taken from 1 feet away and the right one is from 5 feet away.

From RiceCel to Chang by moving away 4 feet. Life fuel.

Unmogged by lens distortions.

LIFE FUEL

I look even better than my selfies tbh

fuck off chad

No shit. Phones have shitty camera that distort how you look, which only further distort how you look because it's usually held closely to your face. It's why normalfags always use stupid angles/filters, since they look like shit in most of them as well.

Aren't mirrors more accurate?

I think so.

Take a photo of yourself in the mirror for a more accurate version of yourself. It's not 100% perfect as phone cameras can still distort the image somewhat but it's the closest thing you'll get to the real thing, save for professional photographs.

Take a photo of myself in the mirror? I do that all the time . But I think that just looking at yourself in the mirror is the most accurate

i look like the 1 foot away guy from 5 feet away. Will taking the pic from 10 feet away solve my problem.

I actually lold so hard at this I don't know why

Can't you do the math? it'll solve your problem at 25 feet away.

4th dimension is how you go beyond parallel

Thats why selfie sticks exist.

They are for so that lightning strikes the users easier.

then there is a chance im a legit 6-6.5/10 instead of a 5-5.5. Hey u/reallyuglyasianguy you should take pictures more than 5' away before you lose hope

I just do video to see myself. Photos distort too much.

In video, I look like I do in the mirror. In selfies like that, I sometimes don't even recognize myself.

Don't know if I should trust my camera or mirror. It's possibly not over.

If my mirror is more accurate i have a far better chance.

What kind of shit camera are they using? Also, whose arm is only 1 foot long?

Most cameras are like this because lenses are always curved.

Smartphone cameras are the worst. If you want to see an accurate depiction of yourself take a pic of yourself in the mirror and flip the picture.
