16 Images So Confusing They’ll Make You Think Your Eyes Are Lying to You

Looking at an image and not understanding it at first makes it seem like our brain is playing tricks on us, but in reality, it’s just the angle or the context hiding what’s actually going on. Some photographers manage to capture these confusing moments perfectly and share them online, making everyone stop, take a second look, and have fun with the unexpected.

1. “Hello human, look at my fit”

2. “Glass? Water?”

3. “One half of my teeth are much whiter than the other side.”

4. “Family selfie. I have no legs”

5. “She was born with 2 right arms?!?!?”

6. “I’ve been through the forest on a horse with no head”

7. “I thought the chair was broken.”

8. “It’s ok, nobody was injured.”

9. “My wife had feet the last time I checked.”

10. “I thought the front door was open, but it’s just a reflection of another door in the mirror.”

11. “My son in aerial silks”

12. “I balanced a coin on a ring I made, the coin looks see through.”

13. “Lego sets are gettin way too realistic.”

14. “My footprints in the sand. My brain can’t process this picture correctly”

Answer: “It’s the shadow outside the footprints. It makes it look like the light is coming from the right, and the prints are on a mound of sand, which would code the footprint shadows to be coming out instead of pressed down.”

15. “Two-headed classmate in lecture?”

16. Floating coat

Living with children means understanding that our lives will be a mix of lots of happiness and fun — and, of course, plenty of chaos.
