Oh hell yeah! Hold on a moment while I convince my wife to help me take a picture of a shadow donkey!

Now let's see Paul Allen's hand shadow

[-] end0fline@piefed.social 17 points 6 months ago

This one is fantastic!

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 16 points 6 months ago

I see a dog with really long ears.

[-] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Friend said it looks more like a scooby than a donkey

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I can see that. But if you could see me make the mouth move, the buck teeth really set it apart from a dog. 😉

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 points 6 months ago

more like the dog in scoubidou, impressive either way

[-] Mesa@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

Scoubidoubideaux, tu vas où

[-] jystfact@sh.itjust.works 105 points 6 months ago

I can make a bird! I can also make it move with wings flapping and cleaning its tail but lemmy won't allow me to upload the video!

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 50 points 6 months ago

I like the moss effect on the tree ;)

[-] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago

i have seen people use peertube to upload videos and put a link in the commets

an unlisted youtube video could be another option

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

You can convert to gif and embed like a regular image, at least in the clients I have used (Boost on Android and .world on Firefox)

Now I'm curious about your best work

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 54 points 6 months ago
[-] ieGod@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 months ago

Well played. 😂

[-] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 6 months ago
[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

More of a nut box than a nutsack though.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 3 points 6 months ago

Edward something-hands?

[-] Vinylraupe@lemmy.zip 20 points 6 months ago
[-] oce@jlai.lu 5 points 6 months ago

Simple yet elegant

[-] biofaust@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Is it only in Italy that they are called Chinese Shadows?

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

I have never heard them called that. Ireland.

[-] BaroqueW@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

They're called that in French too

[-] KenOh@feddit.online 13 points 6 months ago

I don't have one, but if I did it would be this

[-] oce@jlai.lu 12 points 6 months ago

You don't have hands or you don't have a shadow?

[-] KenOh@feddit.online 7 points 6 months ago

Got both but not a third hand to take the photo.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago
[-] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

for those who don't want to visit reddit, archive.org, or imgur (and for posterity sake)

spoiler

[-] KenOh@feddit.online 2 points 6 months ago

classic thread. i think about it a lot.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 6 months ago

Single hand submissions are welcome, like mine.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 6 months ago

maybe they don't have a best. All their hand shadows are equal. Living under egalitarihand manarchist utopia

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

If you add a second hand (or get really flexible) you can give it eyes that move. It's 8am for me so no sharing, but my kids like that one. It's super creepy projected into the ceiling, too.

[-] No1@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago

These are all great!

Though obviously not mine, I just wanted to share this:

What a wonderful world

[-] ulkesh@piefed.social 7 points 6 months ago

There is no Dana...only Zuul!

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago
[-] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

OP’s hand shadow kinda looks like the little doggy demon guys from Ghostbusters.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Ah, a Terror Dog.

[-] ulkesh@piefed.social 1 points 6 months ago

That's because I'm old and I'm guessing you're not :D But gigastasio has the answer.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I just didn't get if there was a connection other than this was a black dog

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

When I think about shadow puppets my brain always dusts off this golden oldie:

[-] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 6 months ago

That's... impressive.
