Not Your Ordinary Crazy optical illusion dump

Mar 16, 2017 8:10 AM

These squares are actually the same exact color. Hold your finger over the boundary between the two shapes and see them change.

Stare at this lady's nose for 10 seconds, then blink rapidly while looking at a light surface. Her face will appear in full color.

These cars look like they're different sizes... but in reality they're all the same.

These dots seem to change color and orbit the center. But focus your eyes on a single dot - there's no rotating or color change at all.

This park in Paris looks like it has a giant 3D globe...

But it's actually completely flat.

You won’t believe it, but the squares marked ‘A’ and ‘B’ are actually the exact same shade of grey.

This replica proves it...

Look at this swirling for 30 seconds and then look at the Inception photo below.

Staring at the swirling gif makes your eyes fatigued, so the non-moving images come to life as they try to regain composure.

At first, they look like 3 attractive women...

But flip the image upside down, and you'll see a very different picture.

Cross your eyes and you should be able to see a familiar face.

The photograph of the Leaning Tower of Pisa on the right appears to lean more to the right. In reality, they’re identical photographs and the towers are parallel.

Don't cross your eyes. Unfocus them, or take your glasses off.

Can't get #5 to work no matter where I focus, no colour change, no rotation - I think my brain is broken.

Try imagining it moving like this

1. Still not the same color. Just a different shade. Yes I know the light strikes it from a different angle, but as seen, it's different.

The one with the cars is stupid. They are different sizes the gif is poorly edited to make them look the same

9 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 20

The fact that they all have the same license plate number kills the magic for me

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

They are exactly the same size

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

But they are the same size.

9 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 3

They arnt. When they get moved side by side they are aligned by the tops of the car but the bottoms of the cars are clearly still different

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 4

No dude. That's the illusion! Grab a ruler and put it to your screen.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

BS. The cars aren't the same size in the first image, the park isn't flat, and the "squares" in #1 aren't the same color on the edges.

9 years ago | Likes 207 Dislikes 33

Oh noo its not flat?? Well I guess mister intellect here made the illusion completely void. Oh yeah, for the other things you said, you dumb

I don't know if this is sarcasm or not.

As a representation of a physical thing, the thing which they represent has two different coloured sides (1/2)

9 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 3

However, because the sunlight and shade is only ASSUMED, the greys are actually the same shade. Depends on your philosophical leaning (2/2)

Philosphy aint got nothin on photoshop. THE SWATCH SAID THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT SHADES!

I measured the cars. They are the same size.

9 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 8

Cars arent same size, no perspective illusion in play and get bigger as they get farther away. Clever edit seems same but watch and its not

No. We have literally measured the cars and they are the same size. You should do the same.

Yeah but only in screen space. Were this an actual photo it would be of different sized cars.

Hence the illusion

Like I get that that's the point of the illusion, but the brains doing its job fine it's just being intentionally mislead with a nonsensical

I don't know, haven't met anyone able to do it yet. It's also a tad more comfortable than crossin' your eyeballs.

9 years ago | Likes 0 Dislikes 0

Yeah, I can do it as well. I'm just pretty sure that eveyone can do it...
