    Is it one of those pictures where you flip it to see young girl turn into an elderly woman?

              This helps but I still don’t see it in the original image

              I only see a young woman’s head turned and looking at the window

              Edit: squinting makes me see it, I guess my mind doesn’t register the old woman until I see less detail but I still don’t see it in the original image op posted

              I don’t think the original image in this post has enough detail to create the illusion

    I think it does not matter if the woman in the picture is young or old. Maybe the artist is trying to tell, that early young adult women are not easy to detect ? like ages 18+ ?

    My question is different: what kinda psycho abbreviates “id” as I.D.? And then followup, who collapses the period into it to make “I.D?”

    Id is identification, that’s one word. This isn’t an acronym. So arguably if anything if would be abbreviated with an apostrophe or maaaybe a single period at the end. Anyway English is weird

      ID is short of “identity document”. The Chicago Manual of Style agrees with your second point though, keeping both punctuations.

      You pronounce the abbreviated form as “Eye Dee” so you abbreviate it as ID. No, it is not consistent with other instances of abbreviation in English, but half of English isn’t consistent with the other half anyway.

      Also, id is an actual word, so that could cause confusion. The earliest uses of the term ‘ID’ or ‘I.D.’ are also from the US military, which absolutely loves abbreviating things and making acronyms for the sake of brevity, even if the shortening doesn’t follow the usual rules.

      That’s pretty cool! I love pictures like that. My grandfather, who was a really good artist, liked to draw faces for me that would change into a different face if you turned it upside-down. Sadly, I only have one left and it’s only a xerox.

      I don’t think it works well here because the art styles don’t match and the way the bar keeper is drawn looks nothing like the old woman.

      The first time I’ve ever been ID’ed was for a beer on a festival when I was 19, we’re allowed to buy beer at 16, I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve also been smoking since I was 14, which was back then allowed from 16 (now 18), and I’ve never been ID’ed for buying tobacco or rolling papers.

      It’s very subjective. My wife kinda hates it. She’s a good looking woman, but she certainly doesn’t look like she’s 20. She often doesn’t carry a wallet - so if she’s ID’d it can actually be annoying.

          My wife is over 40 fwiw. She doesn’t particularly like being carded. She may have liked it in her late 20s or early 30s but not anymore.

          Just pointing out that it’s subjective.

      I teach an underwater photography class at a university. We were going to have a night dive one evening and a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to cancel, so we decided to go to a local pub that has great food.

      There’s a bouncer at the door, and he’s checking all my student’s IDs super close. He’s bending them, shining a light through them, etc making absolutely sure nobody underage gets through.

      I walk up behind my students with my ID out and he just nods and says “you’re good man.”

      I never felt so old.

        My ID picture is still the same one I took in my early 20s (almost 40 now), and even when I do get carded, 75% of the time they make a comment about how my “picture is really old,” “I look really young,” etc, etc which is always a punch to the gut.

      The chin/jaw line of the young woman is the nose of the old woman, the ear is the eye, there is a horizontal line of the young woman’s neck that is the mouth of the old woman.

      At first I only saw the young woman too.

        That only barely looks like a face of an older woman.

        So as the old woman, does she kind of look like a cartoon turtle?

          I don’t necessarily see turtle but it’s a more cartoonish depiction than the younger woman.
