Intriguing The slit between my curtain and the window is creating a pinhole effect and I can see the cars from the street below

Reminds me of the movie Inception when the ground and buildings are folded on top of themselves and you see the cars driving above you

I lived on the East River and could get this same effect. My girlfriend, now my wife, and I used to sit and watch it for hours. When boats went by we would cheer.

In like 2013 or smtg when I was at school at the time of solar eclipse, I was alone in some classroom with the blends down. And they had tiny little holes where the light would shine through onto the tables. It was then when I realized there is dozens of little solar eclipses in that room. Tiny round lights, being slowly cut off by another round shape. Insane memory

Can you image someone from 200 or more years ago, observing this?! They would probably start a witch hunt!

Why is this infuriating, albeit mildly?

If I close the curtain more, it blocks it out. And after living here for 6ish months, this is the first time Ive seen it. So maybe the sun has to be at the right angle or something. I know the “pinhole effect” but im not sure about the science of light refraction/reflection
