Dazzle is very in right now

And by "right now" I mean with 18th century kook alchemists.

   Judging by the 4th picture, also QR-codes.

   I hear it’s starting to become very popular on battleships, also.

   I'd hate to be a bird that found its way into there.

   Really looking forward to the next season of Squid Games.

   On a tangential note, I just went to buy another Dazzle face mask, as this pandemic appears to be never-ending, and I lost the first one.

   Was so sad to see they were out of stock.

   But even though it comes many months late, I will offer up thanks you for the first mask.

   Thank you JWZ!

     Sadly, our supplier stopped manufacturing masks! The dazzle masks required an extremely custom process, so switching to another manufacturer would be a whole thing.

   I wonder if this inspired the stacked arches building in Alex Cox's Death and the Compass, though the only images I can find lack the dazzling nest of multi-banded kraits colouring.

   Another near-dazzle might be the Abu Darwish mosque in Amman (1961):
