Social media users cannot agree on which building is closer in viral photo
Yet another optical illusion has captivated social media users – and this time, we really don’t know the correct answer.
Although people are divided over A LOT of things on social media these days, sometimes that division can be some good harmless fun.
Over on Reddit, a photo of two buildings has been getting a lot of attention after being shared in the Confusing_Perspective forum. Posted by user @Cloverfieldstarlord, they asked the simple question: “Which building is closer?”
The image received more than 450 replies, with people thoroughly divided over which building was, in fact, closer.
Check it out below and see what you think:
“It’s definitely a confusing image, but once you paid closer attention to the left and the right building and how they overlap each other, it’s pretty clear that the one on the right is further back than the one on the left,” one Redditor commented.
Another added: “My first impression was ‘right’ but then I quickly realised it was ‘left’ but even after that the buildings were taking turns popping into the front. I have to look at the right building’s edge where it angles (to the right), which is smaller than the left building’s edge, to sort of force the image to stay still in my head.”
A third commented: “If you look closely the building on the left clearly overlaps the one on the right.”
But one person summed it up best when they typed: “This one is one of the best ones I’ve seen” – and we agree!
