Neat! Does that jar have a hemispherical bottom? Or am I just looking at it wrong?

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

It doesn’t. It’s just weird perspective in the photo
Lol...I cannot figure this one out. Can you take another picture from a different angle so I can understand why it looks like a lightbulb from this angle?
Sure, here's two pictures illustrating what happened.
First, another shot from the same angle more clearly showing why it looks like a bulb, which is due to having been shot at a lower angle so that you're looking up through the bottom of the glass of the jar.
In the original taken last night, the effectively black backdrop of the outside obscures the details of the bottom.
Here's one from a higher angle where you are looking at the bottom of the jar from the outside (distorted a bit due to the wide angle lens on my phone. The normal lens/camera doesn't work)
Ohhhh! That makes so much more sense now. Thank you!
Damn, I excitedly showed the original picture to my wife and was like we need to get some of these jars.
I think it's fisheyed a bit
Next step is to turn it into Mead
Oh that would be good!
I fully support this endeavor 👍
I’m already anticipating how good it will be
That definitely is not just pickled ginger from a Japanese restaurant right? Right?
It’s fresh ginger I sliced thin on a mandolin in a mason jar with raw honey
Well that’s a relief haha
Yes! Though I do love the pickled ginger you get with sushi. It's something I plan to make at some point.
