More things you can use this for:

”Are these two things the same size?”

”Are these things that are supposed to be evenly spaced actually evenly spaced?”

”Are all these things straight/at the same angle?”

”Is the wallpaper pattern aligned everywhere?”

”Is that surface using a repeating texture?”

I may originally have stumbled across this trick looking at repetitive patterns. I distinctly recall automobile upholstery (with a regular recurring ventilation pattern). In particular, abberations in the pattern (dirt, missed holes, etc.) stood out.

Similarly, acoustic ceiling tiles, repeating patterns on wallpaper, rugs, or draperies, building faces, etc.

This may be a superpower to some, or a supertorment to those with OCD ;-)
