A snorkel photo has conquered the net - because it is a nasty optical illusion. What do you see on it?
- A snorkel photo goes viral online .
- Many see two people on it.
- But the brain plays a trick on the viewer.
Munich - this brain ! Sometimes too little fits in, and you forget things you want to remember. Or the other way around. And not seldom it plays a trick on you. Keyword optical illusions . A wall photo therefore went viral some time ago. At the turn of 2020, this snorkel recording did the same for him.
I thought there were two people in this pic pic.twitter.com/f22YMf1BKo
- Jon Stone ⚒ (@ jonstone8299) December 30, 2019A Twitter user named Jon Stone posted the photo - whether he was the first to post the picture remains unclear. He collected 177 retweets by mid-January. With a posting on the Facebook page "Shut The Front Door", the spread started again - in the first 20 hours there were 2,700 divisions.
Optical illusion: "I thought there were two people in this photo"
Why the whole thing? "I thought there were two people in this photo," says both posts. It's like that, isn't it? On the right, a person with a diving mask and snorkel. And on the left, a man with a strubbel hairstyle plunges into the water with his arms ahead.
Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that!
It is an optical illusion. There is only ONE person in the photo, probably a woman. She holds her hand outstretched, a sea urchin or another animal or plant on it . The shadow and the hand gesture make it look like another person. Or did you see through it straight away?
Video: Optical illusions existed even before photography
"Bahahaha !! It's funny! ”: Photo misleads viewers
In any case, many viewers are initially on the wrong track (as is the case with this number puzzle). "I had to look in the comments to find it," it says. "It only took me about a month to find out, lol" as well. "Bahahaha !! It's funny! ”Writes another user. "It took me too long" another one.
The supposedly oily legs in another photo also confused the users. Just like the recording of a bikini trio in a gas station. And what's wrong with this hot Catwoman photo ?!
No optical illusion is a find on Google Maps, because there you can see an already extinct animal walking through the streets.
It looks like an everyday scene: a residential area in summer. But via Street View from Google Maps, a user made an irritating discovery there.
Another curious discovery on Google Maps: strange things are happening off the Japanese coast
