This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Goddam! Thank you!
That kind of explains the gold or black dress!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress
I can for the life of me only see it as white and gold, and I have really struggled trying to understand how others can see it as blue and black? I bet the picture you show here is a result of the research the picture of the dress initiated. It can't be a coincidence that the illusion you posted also is made with dresses.
I don't understand why people are arguing about a terrible picture. The colours are blown out. So you could misinterpret them as badly lit white and gold.
The original dress really was ~~white~~ black and blue. For some reason, I thought it was confirmed otherwise.
Wikipedia says the original dress was blue/black.
