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.

*your brain doings things so you don't fall off cliffs or run into buildings that appear to be far away.

I've seen all of these before. Seems like an ordinary illusion dump to me.

Ahm.. No.

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

I'm glad I didn't have to go far to look for this gif in the comments. Thank you

It all comes down the brains perception of colour with is weird as shit, there's a few TEDtalks on colour perception which are fantastic

shoutout to @OP for including the upside-down picture for mobile
AwesomeWelles
Can't get #5 to work no matter where I focus, no colour change, no rotation - I think my brain is broken.
jal2000
I don't see it either
ImguriansFillMySaltReservoir
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.

cross eyes part hard i just wiggled my eyes instead >.>

Anyone else just take their glasses off for the MJ picture?
Narushima
Hey, that does work!

#1 #2 nope not happend to me
illbuythatforadollar
That park ain't flat
Sionas
Yup.
otismeister
And those "A" and "B" squares ain't the same color.
acabelieveit
I was curious so I opened it in Photoshop and sampled the color in each and they both came out to #787878
seoulhyunnie
they are
otismeister
Holy shit
mallerzkay
These make me so frustrated because I know they're accurate but wanna scream "They're not the same color/size!!"
drainbamageded
That first one... they still look like different colors to me
Aylasita
Cover the middle then blinka few times. worked for me then.
TheSideQuestsOfZelda
Same thing happened to me, try covering the shadow of the white square as well. it helps.
drainbamageded
Oh shit! That worked. Thanks!

The pic with the 3 cars. It's King street in Sherbrooke, Quebec.

The fuck is up with the upside-down girls?
ImguriansFillMySaltReservoir
Thatcher effect

Their eyes and their mouths got flipped-turned upside down. And I'd like to take a minute. Just sit right there....

And tell you how i became the prince of a town called upside down air....

The one with the cars is stupid. They are different sizes the gif is poorly edited to make them look the same
whalefuck
The fact that they all have the same license plate number kills the magic for me
ImguriansFillMySaltReservoir
ImaCarGuy
They are exactly the same size
MuhammedLee
But they are the same size.
JETHROPOWA
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
DynamicWeight
No dude. That's the illusion! Grab a ruler and put it to your screen.
schopier
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.
AnalTelescope
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
vaspap
The cars are the same size
TheSideQuestsOfZelda
I don't know if this is sarcasm or not.
felixchambers
As a representation of a physical thing, the thing which they represent has two different coloured sides (1/2)
felixchambers
However, because the sunlight and shade is only ASSUMED, the greys are actually the same shade. Depends on your philosophical leaning (2/2)
Dukeboysz
Philosphy aint got nothin on photoshop. THE SWATCH SAID THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT SHADES!
kamikazehindenburg
I measured the cars. They are the same size.
Brightfang3
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
BeefBigelow
ZaphodBeeblebroxIsRusselBrand
Bovisstercus
No. We have literally measured the cars and they are the same size. You should do the same.
BeefBigelow
GerberLegalTeam
Yeah but only in screen space. Were this an actual photo it would be of different sized cars.
BeefBigelow
Hence the illusion
GerberLegalTeam
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
GerberLegalTeam
Task.

"Cross your eyes and you should be able to see a familiar face." Your own, if you cross them far enough
TheFlyingDemocrab
"Cross eyes"... heh. I can blur my own sight. Mortals.
TheSteveBuscemi
Can't everyone this?
TheSteveBuscemi
do this* fuck
TheFlyingDemocrab
I don't know, haven't met anyone able to do it yet. It's also a tad more comfortable than crossin' your eyeballs.
TheSteveBuscemi
Yeah, I can do it as well. I'm just pretty sure that eveyone can do it...
