Aliens live among us! Or at least that’s what some people’s first reaction would be if they tried an incredibly simple but funny trick while watching TV. If you watch your TV through your phone from above and at an angle, you can make anyone on-screen look like they’re an egghead with an IQ of 9,000.

That’s what one internet user did while watching one of the United States Democratic Party’s debates, turning possible presidential candidates into big-brained mutants just by changing the phone angle used to watch TV. Like I said, simple (like 3rd-grade level simple) but funny.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

Okay - I didn't read the text but wouldn't it make more sense to take the pix from the perspective where their mouths and lower part of the face are huge and their brains are small? Or maybe I'm just a bit jaded by politicians... for some reason.
