I'm making this mostly to get edification for myself regarding a simple concept that popped into my head today that I have melted 3 people's brains with even though it seems like a simple concept to me.
It is as follows:

When turning an object inside out, one also turns it outside in

therefore: inside out = outside in

The examples that started tripping people up where as follows:

Imagine taking a piece of cloth, say a shirt or a pants leg seperated from it's host, take the object, and then roll it inside out, now that the inside is out, the outside is also in.
Is this not a fair statement?

Why are the people you hang out with so stupid.

two of them are engineering majors actually, the main problem I've seen so far is people overthinking it

a stranger approaches me, "hey buddy consider this, perhaps the shirt is inside out, but at the same time... its outside...... is in"

"so is my shirt on the wrong way or not"

"yeh i guess"

he awkwardly shambles away, i scorn him for wasting valuable seconds of my day

why is this a thread

"He was shown the smallness and tinsel emptiness of the little Earth gods, with their petty, human interests and connections - their hatreds, rages, loves and vanities; their craving for praise and sacrifice and their demands for faiths contrary to reason and nature."


"...it stimulates the part of the brain called "shatners-bassoon", and that's the bit of the brain that deals with...time perception..."
