Perception of reality is an important part of how we interpret the world around us. The true meaning of many things depends greatly on the point of view from which we view them. Take optical illusions for example these seemingly simple images can trick the mind into seeing things that aren’t really there. They are also a reminder that we should not judge things by looking at them, because our eyes can play a rather funny trick on us.
#01. You have to look carefully to understand
The shells stuck to the stone merged with the stones in the background, creating an unusual effect.
Tip for anyone who is confused: if you zoom in on the photo, you can see a slight difference in focus between the foreground and background.
#02. This guy doesn’t seem to have a soul
The visor of the guy’s baseball cap in the center created the illusion that the guy with long dark hair had darkness instead of an eye. By the way, in the photo, you can see the members of the comedy trio from the series “Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun”
#03. Angry black duck or cat?
For this illusion, it is worth saying thanks to a black cat who loves to sleep curled up. Users saw many different animals in this photo, the most popular of which were: the echidna, the kiwi bird, and the platypus.
#04. Elastica from the Incredibles, not otherwise
Looks like a photo created by artificial intelligence. To understand what is wrong with this photo, you just need to realize that the hands reaching for the guy in the suit belong to different people.
In the photo, you can see preparations for the performance: the “wrong” hand grabs the microphone, the girl with red hair straightens her hair, and the man on the left is standing with a roller to clean the suit from wool.
#05. “I created an optical illusion on a quilt”
“My brother 3D printed diamond and half hexagon stencils for me and I made this blanket for him!” , — wrote the author of the photo.
The funny thing about this blanket is that, depending on the perception, the pattern on it can appear both convex (colored parts look like the tops of pyramidal shapes) and depressed (colored diamonds look like the bottom of square honeycombs).
#06. “My (beautiful I know) girlfriend and her dog”
A dog that, due to its strange posture, has turned into a cape. The dog put its paws on the girl’s knees, and then lowered its head down. In the photo, the girl scratches the top of the dog with her hand.
#07. Pierce Brosnan is at a loss for words. At least in your
In the photo, you can see actor Pierce Brosnan with his two sons from his second marriage, Dylan and Paris. This sudden illusion is not obvious to everyone, but looking at this photo, many see how Pierce puts his hand in the pocket of his son Paris.
#08. We all need to rely on someone from time to time. In this case, it’s a hill.
Due to the dark spot on the grass, it may seem that the woman is leaning on the hill, but this is just an illusion. What a surprise!
#09. Two giants standing over tiny fields
We think there is no need to explain that the photo is not of giants, but two skydivers holding hands in flight. The jump was made in Arizona, USA, and the skydivers performed an amazing synchronized dance in the air.
#10. You need to stop panicking and remember that you are watching an article about optical illusions.
If you are still overwhelmed by panic, then everything is in order with the cat, he just lies on the fence. Is he really comfortable? Don’t be surprised if this cat’s name is Shashlychok.
#11. Four-eyed deer
In the usual sense, there is only one deer in the photo, since its female is in the foreground. The lower pair of eyes (like the horns) belong to the male, while the nose and upper pair of eyes belong to the female. If you still don’t understand what is happening in the photo, then the photographer photographed the animals during the “wedding minute”.
#12. This is not a creepy demon, but just the front of the horse’s muzzle.
At first glance at the photo, the nostrils can be mistaken for empty eye sockets, and the black spot is for the nose. Users wrote that from this angle, the muzzle of the horse reminds them of several characters from the cartoon “The Nightmare Before Christmas” at once: someone sees Jack Skellington in it, and someone sees Oogie Boogie.
#13. The girl on the right has a rather flexible neck.
A quick glance at the photo might make it look like the head on the right belongs to the girl on the left, as it fits her body, but then the question arises as to the length of her neck. Don’t worry, every girl has her own head and their necks are normal.
#14. Human-dog hybrid
Half-man, half-dog with a very long torso? No, it’s just that the dog’s hind legs matched very well with the outlines of the girl sitting in the background.
#15. Take a closer look, and you will understand that everything is in order with the hand of the guy on the left.
Due to the merging of the tattoo on the wrist of the guy on the left with the background, it seems that he has nothing below the elbow, but everything is in order with his hands. By the way, the guy on the right has a similar tattoo on his arm, but this effect is practically not created.
#16. Where is the rest of the building?
At first glance, it might look like a tall gray building with no windows, but if you look closely, you can see that the color of the store blends into the gray sky behind it. By the way, among the wires in this photo, there is a real edge of the building. Guess where is he?
