I don't get it. Is the torso in the back on a printed poster board?

Edit: oh it's a person carrying a mirror.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I never would have gotten that.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 19 points 2 days ago

Maybe if the image resolution was about 20 ppi higher.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I stared at it for a solid two minutes, then saw it and thought about how stupid dangerous that is.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If they wipe out the glass/mirror only makes the body parts harder to pick up. Dead is dead. Wear gear people, please ❤️

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No reason to believe this is one of them, but there are plenty of people I'm happy to see not wearing gear.

Darwin finds a way

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

Like 2-3 seconds. At first I thought it was photoshopped but then saw the guy holding the mirror.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 25 points 2 days ago

Longer than i want to admit, 30 seconds of thinking it's AI and then finally noticing it's a mirror...

[–] duckCityComplex@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

About 45 of the most confusing seconds

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

About 25-30 seconds. Nice one.

[–] mcz@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

It's an optical illusion. It looks like the man on the back seat is carrying a mirror. When this image is rotated, however, it becomes clear that the man in the back had its eyes and mouth inverted.

[–] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I have been training for this

[–] miraclerandy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I showed this to my mom. She didn’t understand. I explained it to her and I don’t have confidence she understands after that either.

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

About 30 seconds. But in my defense, I was too lazy to zoom in on my phone, and I’m about to go to sleep, and it was a good illusion.

Pretty sure there are some safety violations happening here

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Was it the lack of helmets?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Or shoes, or maybe the carrying a fucking mirror on a motorcycle...

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago
[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

10-15 seconds.

[–] Jackusflackus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Bout 2 seconds…

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Longer than it probably should have.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

About a minute to realise >!bro on the back is carrying a big mirror!<

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Your spoiler formatting isn't working.

Thanks. TIL the spoiler formatting button in Sync doesn't work for all Lemmy clients. I'll leave it since plenty of other people mentioned >!spoiler The mirror!<

[–] tyler@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

2 seconds. The legs were sticking out and it made it pretty apparent to me.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Everyone who says it's a mirror is wrong.

That's actually a fantastic painting of that guy's back. 😌

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

Everyone who says it's a painting of that guys back is wrong.

That is actually that guys back seen through a window, surrounded by wall with a fantastic painting on it. 😌

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 2 days ago

I knew what it involved immediately due to seeing similar things before, took around 5 to 10 seconds to sort out what was where as I couldn't make out one of the corners due to the low resolution.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

30-60 seconds 🫣

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Took me about 10 seconds

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 3 points 2 days ago

Two minutes because I got stuck staring are the 6 toes on the pilots left diabetic foot.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I understand that this looks like a pretty good setup for a Final Destination movie.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Maybe I've seen too many of these. I'm not sure it even took me 2 seconds.

[–] kubica@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago

What is there to understand in a photosh... ohhh.
