I think I have a twitch in my left eyelid now.

Thanks subby, I've always wanted to look like a tweaked out druggy.

This is seriously in damn near every optical illusion collection ever.

Hope the money is worth it Drew, in fact...I know it is.

As seen on: every fark 'optical illusion' themed thread for the past 5+ years.

Anyway

FARK OPTICAL ILLUSION THREAD

Lord Dimwit: Cool, a schooner!

You dumb bastard! That's not a schooner, it's a sailboat!

This one in the comments section blows my mind every time.

A and B squares are the exact same color.

It's not hard to focus on the space between the lines, then count.

So does Gizmodo have someone on staff who just posts optical illusions now? I swear they've done about half a dozen posts on optical illusions, half of them ones that I have known of since elementary school, like the color fatigue one.

I do think this one is pretty neat, though. (new window)

breen malted smebody plze hlp!

I just got back from the optometrist where they put those drops in my eyes that dilate the pupils so they can get an image of my retina and I can barely see anything. I'm actually hunched over with my glasses off and squinting at the screen right now just to read this stuff. So, anyway, as a result I'm getting a kick out of that illusion.

I hate you...

I want to thank Gizmodo and Subby for unearthing this very very old optical illusion and presenting it as new.

If you squint, they're concentric.

Though not strictly an optical illusion, the Isihara Color Blindness test illustrates the variability of human perception. The numeral "82" here is clearly visible to viewers with normal color vision.

This is a troll, right?

/ on further inspection of that site, 90% are jokes.

Who's talking about me?

Since I'm drinking already, I averted my gaze at the decisive moment.

I see what you did there..... ;-)

I did something similar to someone in another thread. This farker asked for chemistry instruction... and I pointed them to an episode of Look Around You (new window).
And he took me seriously...

That's a good deal what it's like looking at my monitor when I'm drunk. Except without the drunk Facebook rants.

Optical illusion?

Ha! That is very nice. I thought that was a dude at first.

I've debunked those images

Those photos are full of shiat and here's why.

Invert the colors (meaning everything becomes it's complimentary color) of a particular image. If you're colorblind to the certain image the complimentary image should show a blatantly obvious image.

Like this:

Looks like a 7


Now this one
(click to make bigger)

Is bullshiat for colorblindness. You can kind of see some thing in the image on the left but nothing on the right.

I think it is "23"

Ah, I like this one too. I think it says a lot about the mind's ability to compensate for shadows quickly to see what's in them. We do not simply see what's in front of us. There's a lot of effective modifications involved and we only recognize a few.

For a second I almost saw it as circles. I'd like to think that makes me a superior human being.

I swear to god I can barely believe the color picker when it tells me you are not messing with me. Amazing.

I know, right?

I sat there for 10 minutes messing with the dropper thinking something HAD to be wrong with it...
