The human finger can discriminate between surfaces patterned with ridges as small as 13 nanometers in amplitude and non-patterned surfaces, surface chemistry Professor Mark Rutland said. "This means that, if your finger was the size of the Earth, you could feel the difference between houses [and] cars," Rutland said.
- Jokes on him, I can already tell the difference between a house and a car
  
  Houses are the ones with doors and glass on some of the outside, right?
- In practice I find that anything smaller than .0001 inches can't really be felt, and the difference between .0001 and .0002 is indiscernible.
  13 nanometers is closer to .0000005 inches.

  most of that is what she said
  
  But you can feel that the texture is somehow different.
  
  It's not that you can feel individual features, but rather that a repeating pattern of that size can be distinguished from a smoother surface.
- that website fuckin sucks
  but yes very cool
  
  Why's that?
- Yes, right, but not on a screen.
- Yet numerous people can't find the clitoris. It's baffling.

Some ads open the play store Store anyway when you click the close button. So rage inducing.
- I recommend using AdAway
  
  I prefer Rethink DNS or DNS66 for my phone.

you need to go to the opened apps menu and do the close gesture, it closes the ad too.

I love the ads that have that X's and O's background so you mistake a random X inside the ad for the "close" button and accidentally give them a clickthrough.
- I wonder how effective these tactics are. Like, what percentage more clickthroughs do they achieve with this deception?
  
  enough to justify themselves as outsourced consultants to people who don't understand marketing kpis
  
  Even if there are more klicks, there is no way any of these lead to a decision to buy their crap.

opens Ublock origin clicks on dropper icon selects the Ad moves the scale up to select the most high level element in "cosmetic filter" gone
- On Mobile?
  
  Firefox. It has extension support and uBlock

What exactly do you mean by "ads"? Is this a joke I'm too adguardhomed to understand?

Block ads; problem solved.

An example of a non ad one is the Google AI popup on Google Discovery articles. The button is a proper size but it ignores you hitting it unless you hit a very specific point which I am certain is not the center.
- I'm convinced that x doesn't even function as the close button, i make extremely damn sure to press ONLY the x button, and it still pulls the entire window up. Graaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Is there a law saying there has to be an ad close button? Because I assume they are all fake.
Also the sun does move. But it's got so much mojo that everyone else just moves along with it.

Not so real, there isn't a black cross to close the ad, it's normally a white cross of this size on a clear background, nearby the red download button.

With apps from F-Droid and InviZible Pro, there are no ads

The close button is never gonna give it up, never gonna tell the ad to say goodbye, never gonna turn around, and help you...

I need a giant cosmic banana for scale
