Center vertical, my guess.
14
Y? It’s 3D so I’m not sure

Sorry. I’m too stupid to play. I won’t even give it any effort. Working in a government, just a county government, erases 3 IQ points a day.
I’ve been there since April. Pretty sure I won’t be able to feed myself or wipe my own ass by mid January.
I am planning a daring GREAT ESCAPE.

Axis of Evil.

Tilt it 90 degrees and look at it again.
4
Neither Both!
2
Reminds me of Trumps impeachment attempt. Can’t make sense of it.
7
A simple cylinder like a flagpole.
1
It isn’t rotating at all. It is progressing through time at a different rate.
6
“oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we try to deceive”
appears to be rotating
otoh … it’s the shampeachment trying to twist itself out of it’s own pretzel logic
Michelle Obama under 5 inch layers of makeup is the best optical illusion.
6
The ‘shape’ is perfectly stationary – it is us that are flopping about its horizontal axis.
8
The one on the right
3
Horizontal when I don’t look directly at it but use my peripheral.
Vertical when I look directly at it.

Anyone who’s ever used an oscilloscope has seen this lissajous pattern before.

Fish!

Voted on by who?
I think it’s kinda boring.
Google image search brings up Steve Madden heels.

I’m not rotating, YOU’RE ROTATING!
5
Regardless, it does remind me of the oscillating, gyrating, to and fro of the democrat party.

Has anyone had the courtesy to call Pam Anderson and tell her we’ve found her lost IUD?
11
It has a bitter flavor. I think it smells funny, too.
Besides, I don’t know much about cars and how the wheels are attached.
Oh, wait. You said AXIS, not axle. Never mind.
12
I do find it fun to train my mind to make it rotate in both directions, maybe there are more.
Hmmm, sounds like something I’ve told people.
4
Looks like a FISA to me. And you never know which way they’ll turn
8
I vote for oscillating left/right.
Yes, I had an eye exam recently. Why do you ask?
3
X and Y?? But I am wondering about Z as well…
3
Vertical, horizontal, and possibly at 45 degrees in each direction if I am seeing it correctly.
2
ghost is right … Z … it can be going back & forth as well
… like jellybean said
you also realize if you play this in front of Joe Biden during any event, debate, speech, he’ll just stop & stare at it for hours
3
Today’s teachers would say the diagonal axis.
1
I want to see it in COLOR! Just to see if it makes a difference to the eye.
Ann Thracts – that would be one helluva an IUD. Talk about a thorough rinse cycle…

42

Pitch or yaw depending on where you put your tongue.

@ Molon Labe – The question is some what misleading in that the word ‘axis’ is referencing a single thing:
‘AN imaginary line about which a body rotates’.
Some humans can move in three degrees, like a ballerina or skilled skydiver or even diver in water and now that I think about it an astronaut.
Your navel is the center of your rotation.

… or a d’rat trying to explain ‘crimes of impeachment’ 😉
2
It depends on which eye I look at it with.
Going around a vertical axis (left eye).
Oscillating back and forth on a vertical axis (right eye).
Kissing Gouramis (center eye).
1
Kinda looks like the foyer to the Restaurant at the end of the Universe when you first arrive but then again, it might just be 42.
Another Gargleblaster might clear things up.
Just ask Uncle Al. Rounds are on him.
3
Z axis.
What am I missing? It doesn’t change for me.
Looks like a fan belt off a California compliant 85 Chevy with all the smog equipment.

Y? It’s 3D so I’m not sure

I just threw up.

Isn’t this an x-ray of Epstien’s hyloid bone?
A 3D expression of infinity.
A 4D expression might be possible.
Look up wiki for tessaract.
