50 Unphotoshopped Pics That Look Fake But Are 100% Real (New Pics)
In the age of AI and reality-manipulating technology, computer and internet literacy is a must. Critical thinking and a healthy dash of skepticism also helps.
But not everything online is necessarily fake news or AI’s attempt at breaking free from its technological shackles to try to take over the world. Nope, sometimes it is much simpler than that. Think confusing perspective, perfect timing, and other lucky kinds of photo shots.
You see, on rare occasions, when the photo lens meets that one split second coupled up with that one particular angle, you have photo-ops like the ones featured below—pictures that bend the mind and require a double-take (or twelve) to actually make sense of things. And if you don’t know just how lit that is, read on!

Estonian Javelin Thrower Magnus Kirt Impaling Himself
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 years ago
The "javelin" on his face is actually a shadow. You can see it if you zoom in/look at the original post on Reddit. I had a hard time believing the explanation until I zoomed in to like 175% XD It's the shadow from the javelin's shaft coming from BEHIND his head.

Artificial Grass Seating Looks Like It Was Photoshopped To The Scenery
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 years ago (edited)
BTW, artificial turf can get SCORCHINGLY HOT in the sun. WAY hotter than grass or even asphalt. We have artificial turf front "lawns" at home, and I've used a temperature gun on them during the height of summer. They're usually at least 110F (43C), and the hottest I've clocked them at is 127F (53C). So, be careful with your pets and children on artificial turf on sunny days. It's hotter than you might think!
