Perspective is a powerful thing—more powerful than most people give it credit for.

With just the right angle, a toy car can appear as tall as a skyscraper, and a skyscraper can appear as small as a toy car. Two people hugging can suddenly resemble a biblically accurate angel. A perfectly normal street can look like it’s folding in on itself like something out of a Christopher Nolan film.

As mind-boggling as it is, though, it’s also pretty fun, which is exactly why we’ve put together this compilation of truly confusing photographs that will have you stopping mid-scroll to figure out what on earth is going on. Scroll down below to gve your eyes a workout!

    I'm assuming they're shaved? My poor youngest void boi had to have abdominal surgery almost 5 months ago (he's totally fine and a happy lovey boy!) but his stomach is still kinda bald...for the first few months his tummy was the same pale grayish color. It's almost all grown back now!
