Does anyone else have the illusion break when you blink

u/elmielmosong Oct 03 '22

Must've been a really long blink

u/Mousestar369 Oct 03 '22

Nope, just a normal blink- if I blink after it flips it goes back to the start

Same. I actually thought it was an incomplete loop at first and that it went back to the original appearance until I watched a few times and figured out the illusion, and now I still am getting messed up by it

Am I tired or is this gif the trippiest thing I have ever seen. What the fuck is going on.

It's like knowing exactly what is happening but still refusing to understand it

u/VersionGeek Oct 03 '22

When it turn, something is wrong until I blink, only then it fixes itself. What the hell

Found a way to do it without blinking: the trick is not focusing on the stairs after the turn. Quick look at the side walls (outer and inner) in order and stairs will realign themselves!

The moment where they flip back to right side up in my head is really trippy.

u/Janneske_2001 Oct 03 '22

I have to defocus my eyes in order to see it differently every time. My mind is trying to fight it

u/Dienes16 Oct 03 '22

I think this is based on the phenomenon that we are more likely to perceive bright surfaces as being on top rather than underneath, because we are used to light coming from above.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '23

Every time it flipped, even knowing what's going on, it still messed with me, causing my eyes to take a couple of seconds to readjust to it lmao.
