People notice cheeky detail after group of pals take innocent snap together
Sometimes the most innocent-looking images might make you do a double take and this latest one is no different. Can you see why everyone's laughing over this shot?
A lot of things go viral nowadays, it's just how life is. Whether it's a 'freaky' detail in an image people are horrified by, or just a standard shot of some friends together, it happens.
Now people are giggling after an image of some pals on a boat trip started circulating on Reddit. Often optical illusions work by tricking the brain into seeing something that's not there, which is what recently happened in one image. Above the image, it read: "That awkward moment when the pattern on your clothes makes it look like a tiny man is riding you like a horse."
It was shared on the optical illusions forum which boasts 197,000 members as it said: "If Cap'n Crunch was steering a ship..."
So can you understand what's going on? When you first look, it shows a man sitting on the woman's back – but it's not what you think.
The pattern on the female's outfit leaves the impression that something very cheeky is happening on this boat trip.
And of course people on Reddit had a lot to say as it racked up nearly 600 upvotes and some comments.
One said: "This one's hilarious," while another chimed in: "Giddy up!"
Optical illusions aren't always used for comedy purposes, some are actually good to help boost your cognitive skills and focus.
Previously, people were 'freaking' out after turning a viral image upside down.
It shows a photo of a woman with long luscious black hair as she poses candidly in the shot, but another face is shown once the picture is flipped upside down.
So how do optical illusions work?
They works by the brain interpreting ambiguous images or relying on perspective. The brain often processes the two-dimensional image by either focusing on the overall figure or the separate details, creating two different perceptions.
Optical illusions work in such mysterious ways but their job is to trick the brain's visual processing system through misleading information from light, colour and patterns.
Meanwhile the brain tries to make sense of it all by using shortcuts and assumptions which leads to misinterpretations and the perception of something that isn't physically there.
