You might not like it but it's what peak performance looks like.

it took me a full 30 seconds to understand what was going on and why her legs were so skinny omg

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Are these not her legs...? I mean, one leg really.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Yes, it’s a single leg. Some people see the vertical stripe as being the space between two very skinny legs

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I wouldn’t have seen the two thin legs without y’all helping me.

Probably because I grew up during the “let’s all look like Jonathan Davis” era.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I guess for some it is all about the space between the legs. 😁

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I had no idea what was going on until I read this comment.

Upon closer inspection the stripe is clearly white on the first image, but the second one really threw me off because it looks the same color as the floor. I'm also slightly colorblind so that probably doesn't help.

🖐️ Guilty.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

that's rookie numbers it took me more than a minute and a read-through of the comments to get it

[–] FryHyde@lemmy.zip 38 points 2 months ago

But... Color Blocking is not stripes. Where are the horizontal stripes?

[–] Fortatech@gregtech.eu 22 points 2 months ago

Pfffft, those unreachable beauty standards. 😒

On first look, she appears as having two extremely skinny legs in black leggings rather than one pant leg with a white stripe down the middle. I'm on mobile with early morning low brightness, so I definitely had a "what the hell am I looking at?" moment

I also had a few "what the fuck is going on with her legs" moments, but I'm on a PC with a 27" Dell UltraSharp monitor so I have no excuse

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

I wasn't convinced until you mentioned it's a Dell

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm trying to see it but I just can't 🤷

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pretend the stripe is actually the floor behind her, a gap between her legs

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh I got it from the way it was explained but my brain just won't see it

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

I can only see this one clockwise. Is frustrating:

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Walking around looking like Mordecai lmfao

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I feel like it would be absolutely terrifying if someone had tiny legs like that they were standing on. Imagine seeing that horror movie shit irl

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Stickman fashion

[–] hkspowers@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

I instantly thought of Jack Skellington. 😆

[–] mrslt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Plot twist: they are her legs.
