I have a similar experience on my displays that are running at 1920x1200 & 1920x1080, but probably not to the same extent as you since I assume you're at 4k or 5k resolution (although I think they only run at 1/2 resolution). And that's exactly why I have an image zoom extension installed in firefox that can zoom an image in or out (just the image without affecting the rest of the webpage).

I told her, "It's better than dissecting a person"- which I did in school. This got me thinking about how I did have to cut a leg off of a cadaver, and when I held the detached leg, it WAS quite heavy, and it WAS a surreal moment. I was thinking 30-40 lbs. I thought this today, wondering about the exact weight, and how best I could have relayed this piece of info to the cashier in a busy checkout line, and what great opportunities there were in that moment, but instead, came home and saw this ad... So there you have it. A leg IS worth (at least)30 lbs! I think the one I cut off was more.

I can't even imagine. Has to stick with you. Not an everyday occurrence.

Medical person told me the freakiest thing they ever observed was a recently deceased "donor" that has his leg and arm bones pulled out for the marrow. Boneless limbs were shapeless.
