Optical illusions

You might need to make it a bit smaller for the full effect

The bigger pic gave me some bendy bits around the corners, but in the smaller one they're all over the place.

Not sure if we've had this before, but it's pretty cool

🤯 There are 16 circles in this image, at first you can't see them at all, then suddenly they're all you can see!#MondayMotivation #MondayMusings pic.twitter.com/QGhldLYw4j

My poor, poor brain

Is it age? All the psychedelics? Little of A and a little of B? Who can say

I recently re-watched the first season of The Witcher because I thought my dad would like it. I had forgotten about 90% of the entire show and it didn't come out that long ago.

Ok, I'm really hoping we haven't had this, as I have no memory of it either

The Stepping-Feet Illusion featurs two rectangles apparently moving like a pair of stepping feet, but they're actually moving at the same constant speed. The illusion is broken when the striped texture is removed [source, read more: https://t.co/iyJoeSY7he] pic.twitter.com/BJfBKyKP1m

One word. Two words. Floor tiles. And then wait for the first comment from someone coming back from the bathroom.

That's a good one. Here's the image from the tweet, just in case it doesn't persist on Twitter.

I've seen a bunch of people doing that on TikTok and I still can't believe it's real. It's not real, is it? I swear I see both feet sliding impossibly.

TIL vm is on tiktok

[viscousmemories]

In fact VM is rarely OFF TikTok.

Okay that's not true, but probably on it a couple hours a day, usually before sleep (when "I'll just look at a couple videos" turns into a couple hundred videos.)

[-FX-]

vm.tiktok has an entirely different meaning than VM is on tikitok

If you have tiktok installed on your phone, you are almost a complete idiot

Try watching it at just 0.5x on the twitter link and watch his toes in particular. After doing that I can now just watch his toes on normal speed and see them hitting the ground. But it's still really cool!
