So according to #2 my penis will always be bigger as long as it's on the bottom. Learn something new everyday.

EvangelPetter
This is correct

I'm glad that the gifs lasted long enough to put things in...perspective.

v This one is photographed with some weird lens distortion thing going on. It wouldn't work without the camera
Patmanana
Sorry dude, there's no lense trick done in that one

The outside of the curve is longer than the inside. The left side of the shape slopes inward, and is aligned. It's just the positioning.
Then let's see that again, without the camera lens now shall we
IncongruousFief
Except it now has to be rotated so the edges align, in which case they are the same size - no camera tricks here.
That second to the last one is straight up fucking witchcraft.

Nah that's the law of contrast.

I actually don't see whats so weird about it.

Never mind that the bottom side of the shapes are darker than the upper side.
NyanDroid
I actually saw nothing special about it and trying to see something else but can't; like the dress debate - it was just cyan.
Oh maybe one would indeed see some difference in brightness

It's because of how our brains interpret color in the presence of shadow. It's like that "is the dress blue or gold" meme.

I just made it a gif, and it looks as if the tiles change colour when a line is added between them v

Squint your eyes and you will actually see the difference. It's amazing
ZachPutland
I hate that so much

every time i see this i have to go into paint and draw a line between them just to be sure. usually illusions don't get me but holy crap

Here’s an explanation from “Tim's Vermeer”: /s">/sONtnAo">http://imgur.com/sONtnAo http://pastebin.com/w3XTqVbh. Don’t have the movie file to make a gif.
TimTamFlimFlam
i actually dont get that one
Zachuous
Ditto. Perhaps we are too awesome for such tricks.
HiddenSanity
Our colour vision is super context-based. The diamonds have a subtle gradient on them that screws up the context.
LessThanSneakyNinja
The top of each is lighter than the bottom. This makes it look like each row is lighter than the last, even though it isn't.
I understood that. But it seems very obvious, so I didn't get what the illusion was supposed to be.
koinuchan
Same here, nothing looked weird to me on that one.
That is the illusion. It's not immediately apparent to most people that it's shaded, so looks like the one being moved fits multiple shades.
Haha I guess so. To me it looked just silly, lol
I'm smelling something there. Why do i see 3 colours when it's only one? If it was one then it'd be one solid gray square?
Exactly!
nommon
The tiles have gradients on them.
sonicpet
There's a dark to light gradient on the shapes. Top triangles are white (= high contrast), which makes the shapes seem darker for the brain
