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!

Confusing perspective photos are more or less illusions of sorts, except the methods of the matter differ. And illusions are a whole bucket of chum that requires an understanding how the human brain works.

Apparently My Dogs Have Merged This Morning
But if we were to look into it in more detail, the brain is all about interpretation and nothing about perception. Since it doesn’t have eyes, ears or any of the other senses in and of itself, it relies on the appropriate sensory organs to tell it what’s what.
And this is where the fun begins because the brain doesn’t necessarily understand everything that these organs tell it. And so it has to resort to filling in the gaps.

IDK why, but midwesterners on Reddit are saying that if you see a "green" storm, it means a tornado or REALLY bad storm is coming D: EDIT: ahhh, it's light particle refraction: "Water/ice particles in storm clouds with substantial depth and water content will primarily scatter blue light," officials at the NWS office in Hastings, Nebraska stated. "When the reddish light scattered by the atmosphere illuminates the blue water/ice droplets in the cloud, they will appear to glow green."
David A Paterson 2 years ago
I agree, with minor modifications. I think the glow actually comes from low intensity and constant cloud to cloud lightning. We call it an "evil green" and it means that a humongous storm is on the way. Where I live that does not mean a tornado, it means hailstones the size of cricket balls.

The filling in of the gaps is in part due to the fact that the sensory faculties use simple language to describe things to the brain. We shouldn’t expect an eye to know Shakespearean, right? So, the brain makes due with what it gets, but pulls its weight around by adding more details to things to the best of its knowledge.

A perfect example of this is peripheral vision. Peripheral vision is essentially side vision—everything that is to the extreme side, off the center of our visual focus. The way our eyes work don’t really allow as much peripheral vision as we can actually sense when we look at things. But the brain expands upon the field of view by assuming the things and projecting an image for us.

So, circling back at the issue of how illusions work—images with ambiguous representations confuse the brain, abusing its superpower of filling in the gaps, but the brain fails to do so correctly. Remember, it tries to guesstimate visuals and make sense of them, and it can be wrong about it. This is why some illusions get trippy in our eyes.

Flying Cruise Ships Illusion Spotted On The South East Shores Of Cyprus
Carla McNeil 2 years ago
Inverted mirage! This is what's happening when people see flying boats and islands in the sky. It's wild.
Hi! 2 years ago
An inverted mirage is an optical phenomenon that occurs when light rays pass through layers of air at different temperatures. When light travels from a cooler layer to a warmer one, it bends towards the warmer, less dense air. This bending of light, known as refraction, can cause images of real objects to appear in the wrong place. For example, on a hot day, the air near the ground is warmer than the air above it. Light from the sky bends as it passes through these layers and can create an image of the sky on the ground. This can often look like a pool of water on a road, which is actually an inverted image of the sky

Why does any of it matter? Besides proving to be quite a fun distraction in life, it has opened up a vast sea of opportunity for research. You see, some illusions are based on brightness and apparent motion.
This alone has led to a better understanding of how our brain works by putting together several separate processing streams across multiple processing stages to make sense of things. This alone is proof of what kind of a powerhouse the human brain is. And if that doesn’t sound absolutely amazing, we don’t know what is then.

You Almost Can't Even See The Truck
RedMarbles 2 years ago
Wow. The left half of the picture is the side of a truck reflecting what's in the right half. The "floating" object is the door handle and you can see the body of the truck covering part of the tire.

The angled line on the tire's pattern is the only think that helps me see this!! Wow

Pumpkin Peels Looks Like Low-Resolution Images
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 years ago (edited)
Some people on Reddit are saying that butternut squashes are sometimes referred to as "pumpkins" in some countries/cultures. OP appears to be Finnish, and they said they refer to it as "musk pumpkin".

Took me a while to see what the image was talking about. Then it took me more time to figure out what’s going on.

This only works so well because photographer adjusted horizontally, and especially vertically, to juuuuuuuuust the right spot. Masterful.

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!

The whole seating arrangement? I bet it was a pricier item. You probably spent at least $3.87 for that.

The Sand Dunes Where Star Wars Were Filmed Dosn't Look Real. It Looks Like Someone Drew Them

Obviously. They filled it in with a lower opacity brush then added in strokes to make it look like there are shadows.

These are real undoctored photographs. This is real.

Image I Took 3 Years Ago While Helping My Dad With Rooftop Work
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 years ago
From Reddit: "It's a skylight that [OP] was installing but it is resting upside down on the dome & casting a shadow" - "It's very difficult to see the outline of the dome, but you can make out the dome shape in the sunlight's reflection. Look inside the frame, at the corner closest to us (the bottom). You can see the curved reflection pretty clearly and get a better idea of the dome shape."

The Building Looks Semi-Transparent Due To Reflection
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 years ago
Ironically, this building is ALSO in Chicago, IL (see the other post in this article with the triangular building.) This building isn't triangular, but looks that way from this photo's angle XD (This building is located at 151 N Franklin St, Chicago, IL)

I don't think it is possible to scratch your back like that. Try it.

I Took A Photo Of This Bed Frame I'm Selling And The Angle I Took The Photo At Doesn't Show Any Shadows So It Looks Like A Photoshopped Image Of A Bed
Nimitz 2 years ago
Not really though. The shadows on the wood work and behind the slats are immediately perceived
PolymathNecromancer 2 years ago (edited)
Some artificial or reflected light may have cured this. And another object present may have enhanced that as well.

nice bed frame, though. I need to get a double bed like that, with the drawers underneath (at both sides) to stop my damn cat hiding under the bed to throw up because I know its not her fault but moving a double bed and matress every time to clean up is too much work ;-;
iseefractals 2 years ago
OMFG This end up! I had a very similar bed, the office desk, the couch (with the table that went on the arm) and my dad had the recliner. That couch was amazing, take the back cushions off and it was big enough for two people to comfortably lay down and snuggle up on.

If you have an android phone and are on the app them that's the problem. BP seems to hate android and app users and always give them an 'oops something went wrong' it was only a couple to start with but now is most of the articles

"Unphotoshopped"? Shouldn't it be "non-photoshopped" since the former sounds like a picture was originally photoshopped and then returned back to its original state? Sorry, just being pedantic.

I prefer the app because with the website, you have to scroll through so much content that I, personally, do not care about. JMHO.
