About 25-30 seconds. Nice one.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 16 points 11 hours ago

Longer than i want to admit, 30 seconds of thinking it's AI and then finally noticing it's a mirror...

Pretty sure there are some safety violations happening here

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Was it the lack of helmets?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

Or shoes, or maybe the carrying a fucking mirror on a motorcycle...

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 8 hours ago

Longer than it probably should have.

I don't get it. Is the torso in the back on a printed poster board?

Edit: oh it's a person carrying a mirror.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 21 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I never would have gotten that.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 18 points 14 hours ago

Maybe if the image resolution was about 20 ppi higher.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I stared at it for a solid two minutes, then saw it and thought about how stupid dangerous that is.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If they wipe out the glass/mirror only makes the body parts harder to pick up. Dead is dead. Wear gear people, please ❤️

No reason to believe this is one of them, but there are plenty of people I'm happy to see not wearing gear.

Like 2-3 seconds. At first I thought it was photoshopped but then saw the guy holding the mirror.

30-60 seconds 🫣

[–] mcz@lemmy.world 22 points 15 hours ago

It's an optical illusion. It looks like the man on the back seat is carrying a mirror. When this image is rotated, however, it becomes clear that the man in the back had its eyes and mouth inverted.

[–] duckCityComplex@lemmy.world 32 points 17 hours ago

About 45 of the most confusing seconds

[–] tyler@programming.dev 4 points 11 hours ago

2 seconds. The legs were sticking out and it made it pretty apparent to me.

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 8 points 13 hours ago

About 30 seconds. But in my defense, I was too lazy to zoom in on my phone, and I’m about to go to sleep, and it was a good illusion.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 13 hours ago

10-15 seconds.

[–] Jackusflackus@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

Bout 2 seconds…

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 2 points 12 hours ago

Two minutes because I got stuck staring are the 6 toes on the pilots left diabetic foot.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

About a minute to realise >!bro on the back is carrying a big mirror!<

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Your spoiler formatting isn't working.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Thanks. TIL the spoiler formatting button in Sync doesn't work for all Lemmy clients. I'll leave it since plenty of other people mentioned >!spoiler The mirror!<

Everyone who says it's a mirror is wrong.

That's actually a fantastic painting of that guy's back. 😌

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 4 points 13 hours ago

Everyone who says it's a painting of that guys back is wrong.

That is actually that guys back seen through a window, surrounded by wall with a fantastic painting on it. 😌

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Took me about 10 seconds

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

I understand that this looks like a pretty good setup for a Final Destination movie.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 16 hours ago

I knew what it involved immediately due to seeing similar things before, took around 5 to 10 seconds to sort out what was where as I couldn't make out one of the corners due to the low resolution.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Maybe I've seen too many of these. I'm not sure it even took me 2 seconds.

[–] kubica@fedia.io 3 points 16 hours ago

What is there to understand in a photosh... ohhh.
