No matter which two images I overlap, my eyes can't hold focus or see depth in this. I tried your other posts too, with no luck. I can usually see stereoscopic images in seconds, could I be doing something wrong? It feels like the images are just too different.

Viewing on a smaller screen, like a phone, can be easier. My Instagram has more you could try than I've posted to Reddit. However in my experience it does vary from person to person and I'm not sure why

I'm viewing on my phone and have tried various distances. I'll try again when my eyes are less tired.

It's because their faking stereoscopic images by mirroring the image, the only problem here is the original images are a straight on view so there's nothing for your eyes to compare left to right.

Nothing lines up except the holes in the centre and since there straight up and down you get no 3D.

The intention is to emphasize symmetry through stereoscopic depth. By "fake" I believe you mean it's not depth from parallax, which is true, but that isn't the point as lensing of this sort has recursive reflective symmetry which is the intended source of depth instead of parallax
