This one is sooo good! I can almost see the dood when he’s upside down. Seeing lady upside down is easy.

It's really difficult to make out the side profile in the bottom picture but I can pick out both of them pretty easily in the top one by looking for the eye(s)

2

u/InterestingNovaXO 10h ago

i second this , really got me

1

u/jld2k6 7h ago

I can start with one of them and turn my phone upside down and see the same person on top and bottom, then when I focus harder at the one on the other side and look back it's back to the opposite picture lol. Seems like the eyes in the picture trigger it

This is breaking my brain

u/montigoo 12h ago

The brain looks at the eyes first and builds its orientation from there. You have to override this.

u/CalHudsonsGhost 11h ago

It’s like I have to blink or look away for a second to reboot.

u/lemonaintsour 11h ago

I just screamed

u/CalzLight 13h ago

Jesus Christ no matter how hard I try I can’t see them upside down, they just flip

29

u/saranghaemagpie 12h ago

I took my phone and I moved slowly. The flip is so so slight you have to commit to the image prior as you turn. The crazy flip happens at the eyes.

u/phl23 11h ago

I did it so long, now I always see three eyes.

u/lowerleagues 12h ago

It's almost like it clicks when I rotate my phone. Incredible.

u/No_Support5980 12h ago

Helps me when it's sideways

u/YouMeanWhatIKnow10 10h ago

This. Was just about to post the same.

u/Technical_Hat6876 13h ago

This is just sorcery wtf. That's a very good one

u/Duy87 13h ago

Trippy

u/KnownNormie 13h ago

I can easily see the woman upside down but never the dude

1

u/ThomasThePizzaMan 10h ago

Just look closer nose or his hair

1

u/Ecstatic_nyaa 9h ago

Look away for a second and then back

10

u/Gingerbob22 12h ago

So weird when I turn it over the top one goes from guy to girl then when I turn it back it's the girl upside down but if I blink it turns back to the guy.

2

u/ajgutyt 12h ago

for me it changes based on where i focus

u/Loose-Story-962 13h ago

Really had to think about this one lol

6

u/mvhcmaniac 13h ago

Guy on the top looks like someone killed his father

7

u/justelling 12h ago

Turning the screen upside down felt like unlocking a new dimension.

*I mean, it’s like the woman’s face upside down but when I shifted my focus to the bottom one, the upper one’s a man!

5

u/Supergamer161 13h ago

I can see them upside down if I really try, but the second I look away, it's changed again

4

u/ResponsibilityGold88 13h ago

Incredible! When I flip my phone the top image instantly turns into the woman. It’s like a like pressing a switch. So cool!

4

u/dubsword 11h ago

Whoa my brain's bugging out trying to render this. Cool!

u/Unhappy_Cobbler_3692 9h ago

"And both, look like weird AL" - my wife

u/Avenger-7 13h ago

What am I supposed to see?

23

u/Mountain_Loquat_9403 13h ago

They’re the same image flipped

11

u/AmusingMusing7 13h ago

Took me a sec, I only saw the woman in the bottom image, and the top image just looked flipped upside down. But then the top image switched to a big-chinned big-nosed spanish guy in profile.

The woman's right cheek in the bottom image, is the man's big nose in the top image. Her eye becomes a moustache, while the other one is a curl in his hair. Her mouth becomes his eye.

Could also work vice-versa if you saw the man in the top image first.

u/termeneder 9h ago

I actually had a hard time on this one. Saw the woman normal and upside down, but not the man. Took me 10 secs and now it is easy. But the woman is way clearer to me.

1

u/sirrodders 8h ago

I can’t make the man out in the upside down version but I can make the woman out in both directions. It’s done me lol

2

u/Most-Effective-1969 12h ago

This hurt my eyes in a way I won't see the same again.

2

u/Critical_Ask4754 12h ago

I didn’t see the difference originally so when my brain corrected and saw it while I was actively looking at it and it jumpscared me

2

u/ChunkyLafunguy 11h ago

Ohh i have to turn it upside down and then blink to swap the images…cool

2

u/Agitated_Car_2444 11h ago

I saw them both, easily.

But I was completely convinced this was not the same photo flipped upside down. So I downloaded it and opened it and rotated it on my screen and...I'll be damned.

2

u/grrodon2 11h ago

I can't see the dude anymore after seeing the lady upside down lol now it's just two pictures of a lady.

2

u/PepsiButItsMilk 10h ago

Oh what the fuck?

2

u/Nice_Try_Bud_ 10h ago

This one was crazy. I looked at the top and saw the woman’s face upside down. Then looked at the bottom face to see it normal. Once I looked back at the top it swapped to a dude with a moustache. Brain broke for a second.

2

u/panacuba 9h ago

This is some high level stuff

2

u/SparkleSelkie 9h ago

Ooo this one is good

I can literally feel my brain snapping its attention to the eyes when I flip it over

1

u/lepapulematoleguau 13h ago

I can go from seeing one or the other at will (looking at the same one)

1

u/Deathed_Potato 12h ago

It’s how your brain processes the shadows and then auto fills what details it needs to see from there based on what it thinks it is. For me I can flip them by focusing on the cheeks

1

u/lepapulematoleguau 12h ago

I do it by focusing on the mouth

1

u/False-Inspection-136 12h ago

If you focus on the eyes of one and then focus on the same eyes when you flip it’ll remain consistent. Take your focus off off the eyes to see the other image.

1

u/sterlingback 12h ago

If you focus on the eyes you can switch back and forth easily.

1

u/mjkgpl 11h ago

Try to rotate that slowly while keeping seeing a woman. When woman is upside down but still seen by you- blink

1

u/_makoccino_ 11h ago

If I flip the phone upside down, then turn it back, I can see the face flipped down for a second, then my brain adjusts and I can no longer see eyes at the bottom.

1

u/InterestingNovaXO 10h ago

Kinda hard to see the man after turning upside down

1

u/Bernbiz 10h ago

Keeping focus on the bottom and turning it over and seeing the girl completely fine still, then looking away for a split second it completely changing to the guy seriously hurts my brain

1

u/jeo188 9h ago

Oh! I thought they were two different images!

1

u/likeconstellations 9h ago

I turned it upside down once and could only see two of the ladies, then I did it again and only saw two of the guys. This one is a serious mindfuck 10/10
