20 weird photos that mess with people’s brains
The internet is full of deceiving images that seem unreal.
Sometimes, you have to take a second glance to figure out what is going on.
Some photos were taken at the perfect moment, and sometimes the lighting or the camera perspective do the trick. Whatever the case is, weâve made a hilarious slideshow of 20 amusing photos that look impossible enough. Yet, people snapped them, and youâll have to look closely to figure out whatâs going on. Have fun!
A flying canoe!
This old picture of me in my levitating canoe is a family favorite
byu/madeyemeggy inconfusing_perspective
Some fairytales have magic carpets, and some adventures in nature have levitating canoes. The girl sure looks as if she was paddling the canoe in the air. If you wonder how this happened, allow us to demystify the photo. The water is shallow, and the canoeâs shadow on the river bed does the trick.
Torso in the air!
As incredible as it is, the fishermanâs pants turned out to be the same color as the water. That is why he looks as if he has no legs in the photo. The moment perfectly captured the man getting out of the river, and his pants simply mimicked the color. We bet they still laugh at such a coincidence.
The girlâs got muscles!
Apparently one of the side effects of cold medicine is growing a man’s arm [OC]

A father cuddled with his baby girl, and they both fell asleep. Cute, right? Not only cute but hilarious, too. We donât see dadâs head in the photo, only his arm wrapped around the girl. Itâs such a funny moment. Imagine if this was one of the side effects of puberty. No!
Shadow game!
Invisible tree star
byu/Nuggets_R_Uss inconfusing_perspective
Take a look at the shape of the Christmas tree top. It casts a star shadow, although it doesnât have a star on top. Apparently, it doesnât need a star. The tree is the star. Superstar.
âPants dropped downâ shoes!

Fashion is sometimes hard to understand. Itâs not just that the ladyâs denim shoes look like her pants have dropped down. The oversized shirt gives an impression that some jeans were supposed to go with it, emphasizes the effect. What a tricky outfit?!
The best illusion so far!
Just a guy wearing a hoodie
byu/zaferemre inconfusing_perspective
A photo of a headless man does the trick. People commenting on the photo said they were stressed out, trying to understand where the manâs head is. It took us some time until we realized that the man is wearing a hoodie, and his head is leaned over his right shoulder. The hoodie looks like âthe collar,â and thatâs the magic behind the photo.
Funny proportions!
Someone forgot to train legs
byu/esuuuu inconfusing_perspective
This man-made the wrong decision to wear these pants with black coloring on the inside. It made his legs look super thin. Compared to his enormous upper body, the longer you look at the photo â the weirder his posture becomes.
Doggo and the dollhouse!
Dog put his head inside a doll house
byu/Bucket_of_nuggets inconfusing_perspective
Donât worry. We still donât have giant dogs on our planet. Itâs just a photo of a curious doggy who stuck his head inside a dollhouse. Silly boy!
Fun at the library!
Any interstellar fans out there?
byu/shainese inconfusing_perspective
Here is what looking through all of the library stacks looks like. Itâs entirely geometrical, confusing, and it seems endless. Who says that you canât have fun at the local library?!
Athletic doggy doing a backflip!
Sister sent me this picture, thought our dog was doing a backflip
byu/i_am_dropbear inconfusing_perspective
Wouldnât it be cool if your dog was sporty enough to do a backflip? Yes, it would, and the one in the photo certainly seems like that. However, itâs just the funny angle. The photo was taken from up above, and the dog is simply sleeping on the deck.
A man or a hand?!
Man with curly hair about to dive into the water
byu/danish-pastry inconfusing_perspective
Maybe youâve seen a man with curly hair and three hands diving into the water. Yes, so did we at first. Then we took a closer look and realized that itâs a womanâs hand, and sheâs holding a small sea urchin.
Catfro!
two cats or white cat with hat?
byu/poopy_11 inconfusing_perspective
The photo is very deceiving. At first, youâll see a white cat that looks like itâs wearing a big black hat. However, it is not. The white cat is actually sleeping next to the black cat, and the black cat is simply curled up so that it looks like a huge Russian hat. Ah, those whiskers!
What is going on?
This picture of my friends cat
byu/Raptors_McFlaptors inconfusing_perspective
Did this kitten fall under the stairs? Or is the cat climbing the stairs? We were s confused. It turns out that these are the old school stairs, with the top part being the bottom of the stairs that go up to the next floor.
Jupiter ducks!
Close-up view of Jupiter
byu/titsfortwat95 inconfusing_perspective
No, no ducks are living on Jupiter. At least, not as far as we know it. Then again, this photo looks a lot as if it was taken through the telescope. It wasnât. Itâs an ordinary photo of a marsh with a bunch of ducks in the water. The circle shape and the colors make it look a lot like the planet Jupiter. Amazing!
Where is the cowâs body?
Check out the photo of a cowâs head that looks like it exists on its own. However, you can see the shadow of the body on the left. Itâs not a decapitated cow, nor a skinny cow. It is quite hysterical, though.
The glasses have taken a look!
The reflection of the lamp on the sunglasses
byu/youngack inconfusing_perspective
Although these glasses look so cool and goofy-they arenât real. The eyes you see in the glasses are just reflections of two lamps hanging above the glasses. Great positioning!
The kiddo with a giant hand!
My nephews giant hand
byu/snipey_bananas inconfusing_perspective
No, itâs not some kind of anomaly. What youâre looking at is just a heart-warming photo of a
grandpa with his grandson on his lap. The kid was simply wiggling too much, and his little hand blended with the grandpaâs hand. Funny!
It is not a solar system!
A shot of burning man that looks like a solar system
byu/JillandherHills inconfusing_perspective
The photo looks like from outer space. Nonetheless, it is not. Youâre looking at a shot taken at the annual Burning Man festival.
Plump lips!
Confused Batman or my cat holding her donut toy?
byu/minimeowse inconfusing_perspective
The kitty has taken a round-shaped toy into her mouth, and it ended up looking like big lips. The donut toy indeed gave the black cat a hilarious Botox treatment.
So terrifying!
As scary as it seems, this photo was staged. It was rotated, and it ended up looking as if the woman fell off. Props to the lady, though. She did a tremendous job with that realistic jump.
