The official Optical Illusions thread.

^Yes, the squares A and B are EXACTLY the same colour. The human visual system does so much pre-processing that it recognises that the cylinder is casting a “shadow”, and edits the perceived image such that you see a colour much nearer the colour that would have been there, were it not for the shadow.

^This one is my favourite

WTW?

 

[Guiliant]

I mean the illusions.

The first one is awesome, the second one makes no sense.

 

[Guiliant]

You have to stare at the the second when it counts down.

Originally it's Black and white, but if you do the above, then it will be in colour!

 

[3Dejong]

Ah. So once it's black and white, when you stare at the dot, the color appears.

Cool.

 

[Smiddle]

I had firetruckloads of those. ...some years ago. ...on another computer.


Anyway, stare at the little ugly cross.

And the little Pacman d00d will eat 'dem dots up.

Here you see three Chinese men that have bought some fresh yummy ramen, and they're going somewhere to eat it.

Off-topic: Which one's the tallest?

Why is there a red line below teh 10 o'clock thingy-pink dot?

 

[3Dejong]

For that matter, why is the sky blue?

Why are we here?

Why does my arse chafe?

 

[PaperStriker]

You're crazy. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

 

[3Dejong]

In Soviet Russia, the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy YOU!!

 

[PaperStriker]

In Soviet Russia there is Moscow!

3Dejong, narrating in third-person, let out a deep sigh.

 

[PaperStriker]

[3Dejong]

3Dejong was not amused either. He rallied the smiley to help him.

What a great optical illusion.

 

[3Dejong]

3Dejong let out a deep sigh at PS's naivite. He had not meant to show an illusion, only a cutting remark.

I see the boat, but nothing else.

 

[3Dejong]

Weird, all I see is water.

3Dejong snapped out of it.
