Probably a large ask of your doggo, but have you tried a slightly long-term exposure? I know longer term exposures will smooth out the ripples and provide a better glass-like reflection, but I’m unsure how long that would be, and whether or not your dog would willingly sit there for that long.
There was a different study, last time (several years ago), that showed that when you pull the seat up, it acts like a vacuum and sucks the anerosol out into the room.
“He was shot twice in the back of the head with a double barrel shotgun - worst case of suicide the sheriff had ever see “ -can’t remember where I heard this.
You could do various things to make it harder (drop some odd-shaped things in the cooler), but omniscience pretty much has to be a hard limit - and so we’re back to Plato’s cave (or brain in-a-box) otherwise. If you’re omniscient, though, you would know what people are doing when you’re not focused on them.
All “Plato’s cave”/Deacartes, references aside, one thing you could do would be to prove that the outside rules work, even when you are not paying attention to them.
Take a large cooler. Put it near the sink. Find a method by which the water can drip into the cooler. Turn on the spigot at a low volume, and leave for a while. Measure this time. But do not measure anything about the water other than that, it’s dripping slowly enough you can afford to leave for a couple of hours and it not fill up.
Go do stuff and have fun. Take your mind off of your experiment.
Come back, put a different vessel under the spigot, leaving everything else, the same, so that you can measure how long it takes to fill up a certain amount with the water. Turn off the water, determine how much water made it into the bucket, then, using your reference vessel, determine how much water the spigot was putting out with your settings, in that period of time. Now do the math and determine, using your two vessels, how long you were gone for. Compare that to how long you were actually gone. There is enough randomness in this system, depending on how omniscient you are, so that it would be infeasible for your brain to keep track of it.
This part bears repeating, as you CAN lose vision in one eye (partial or ALL) due to this.
“ if you suddenly get a lot of floaters and are feeling pain in your eyes or seeing bright flashes that look like a camera flash, you need to go seek medical attention immediately as these are signs of a retinal tear. Retinal tears are treatable but only if you go take care of them immediately”.
“I was making love to my wife and she started moaning, “Deeper! Deeper!”, so I started whispering Nietzsche quotes in her ear. ‘Man is a rope stretched over the abyss’. and she said, “Whoa! I’m trying to get off over here!” - Dennis Miller
