Straight Lines Fool The Renderer

Description

The image has large bold black text on a white background reading, "go ahead" and underneath, "find the curved line." Below the text is a dense grid of square tiles separated by greenish lines, with gray patterned interiors that make the straight grid appear warped or curved in places. The sibling metadata calls it "Some offtopic for you to release Monday stress," so the post is more visual puzzle than direct software meme. Its technical relevance is adjacent to graphics, visual perception, UI inspection, and the familiar engineering lesson that human pattern recognition can report bugs the geometry does not actually contain.
