Trippy Illusions

Aumos · 2012-10-01T22:00:54+00:00

Was expecting something to jump out.

DamnColorblindness · 2012-10-02T00:15:20+00:00

No.

Unfortunately I didn't.

(sigh)

auranl · 2012-10-01T22:42:15+00:00

I like the progress bar in the first part of the image. Normally, when they say to stare "for a minute or two", I lose concentration.

cake_in_the_rain · 2012-10-01T23:52:00+00:00

Very cool, but it belongs on r/woahdude...not wtf

deja-vu-comment · 2012-10-01T22:40:21+00:00

I expected a screamer. I gotta lay off this shit

.

njester025 · 2012-10-02T02:13:19+00:00

not even remotely /r/WTF worthy. Why do people upvote shit posted in the wrong subreddit?

Ralanater13 · 2012-10-02T02:29:08+00:00

How many people thought it was going to scare you?

mookstar1 · 2012-10-01T23:55:18+00:00

Can someone explain how this shit works??? Its cool but id like answers!

TrevDoggeh · 2012-10-02T00:57:52+00:00

As soon as i saw it was a gif i noped my way out of there. Fuck screamers.

Schonnk · 2012-10-02T02:30:29+00:00

www.reddit.com/r/whoadude. I don't know if you already know about this, but that is the place for this kind of post. Great illusion though!

UltimateForm · 2012-10-01T21:43:48+00:00

Dude...that was dope.

rocketparrotlet · 2012-10-02T03:47:37+00:00

I was just waiting for the screamer. It never came.

Actually, that's more of a surprise.

B4EvrUnknown54 · 2012-10-01T21:44:18+00:00

More Here: *One *Two *Three *Four *Five - with this one just stare at it for 30-60seconds and then stare around your room...be drugged up and stuff. Enjoy

ohmyglobfinn · 2012-10-02T00:26:40+00:00

This is really not WTF worthy.

mikeack · 2012-10-02T01:01:51+00:00

Science, now worthy of /r/WTF

mikeperrinofilms · 2012-10-02T01:32:17+00:00

i backed out half way to check the comments.

RobDog21 · 2012-10-02T02:28:06+00:00

After realizing nothing was going to jump at me, my brain feels like its in a knot. Ouch.

garbadman · 2012-10-02T04:15:36+00:00

I was brave and continued to look at the black dot. :) Very cool Illusion, seems like the colours stay until you stop focusing on the black dot.

EpicNade · 2012-10-02T00:46:52+00:00

sigh It sucks how this is a catch-all subreddit now...

HCSmothers0122 · 2012-10-02T01:02:28+00:00

The first time i did it, I looked at the dot and it did what it claimed. The second time i didn't look at the dot but the corner and i still saw it change color, before changing black and white.

fluffykittensandshit · 2012-10-01T23:17:13+00:00

Very cool

amylondon · 2012-10-02T00:10:50+00:00

Yep, I waited for something to jump out too. When all was safe and I did it, it was pretty awesome.

Syngomes · 2012-10-02T00:11:45+00:00

I do not think I did it correctly. I just have a headache :-/

nickjz · 2012-10-02T00:32:12+00:00

That was actually cool

Vessix · 2012-10-02T00:38:46+00:00

I don't understand the definition of trippy, it seems. I always assumed it was related to things that altered your perception in ways similar to hallucinogenic drugs (I.E. to trip). Most of reddit seems to think anything that looks strange can be classified as "trippy" though. Is this due to inexperience or does the term mean something different?

kiwiJONES · 2012-10-02T00:52:18+00:00

People are still amused by these?

Morphix007 · 2012-10-02T01:10:48+00:00

Can someone explain what I am meant to see, I don't get it

calpal1213 · 2012-10-02T01:56:30+00:00

I don't trust YouTube with pop-outs why should I trust reddit

Jimhanson · 2012-10-02T02:08:11+00:00

/rwhoadude come on people

TheyCallMeBasedGod · 2012-10-02T02:12:41+00:00

This is fuckin cool.

PillPill · 2012-10-02T02:12:59+00:00

Didn't see any colors

Muffin_guy · 2012-10-02T02:14:34+00:00

i love things like this :>

is there a subreddit?

rannie_pophe · 2012-10-02T02:14:57+00:00

Yes, I did.

rscott89 · 2012-10-02T02:16:18+00:00

I took my headphone out just in case OP was an asshole.

Kraynz · 2012-10-02T02:17:48+00:00

post this in /r/trees .. you will make all the karma!

GTFOwastaken · 2012-10-02T02:19:19+00:00

That was actually amazing

JustToBeSafe · 2012-10-02T02:19:26+00:00

I cheated and opened this up on Preview. Lets you see all the frames.

Blood_havok · 2012-10-02T02:24:18+00:00

Ah! My eyes!! They bleed!!

huntrawr · 2012-10-02T02:39:09+00:00

I noticed if you keep your eye on the dot when it goes black and white the colors will stay. But once you move your eyes to look at something it goes black and white.

Nhetu · 2012-10-02T02:42:29+00:00

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!

mlap37 · 2012-10-02T02:47:37+00:00

After watching the bar load with my hand over the screen I had to refresh the page just in case something popped out the 2nd time around.. It didn't.

commodore-69 · 2012-10-02T02:52:48+00:00

FUCK LOAD FASTER

Kamioni · 2012-10-02T02:54:55+00:00

I couldn't focus on the dot, I can't help but to stare at the loading bar.

nitdkim · 2012-10-02T02:56:47+00:00

would a person who can't see a certain color be able to see the illusion of the color they can't see?

kidwiththecrocs · 2012-10-02T03:03:08+00:00

Isn't this the place from Eurotrip?

dantegrin · 2012-10-02T03:04:20+00:00

/r/woahdude would love this

MannyMan0161 · 2012-10-02T03:14:46+00:00

Didn't work

jujuji8 · 2012-10-02T03:14:55+00:00

i was shure the gifs of the loading bar was the fake"trippy illusion" but then wow!

imhuuuuuungry · 2012-10-02T03:16:54+00:00

I turned my volume off for this.

imhuuuuuungry · 2012-10-02T03:17:09+00:00

I turned my volume off for this.

Typical_Asain · 2012-10-02T03:18:06+00:00

I tried to do it while not looking at the dot, ans saw that there is another colored image shown for 1 second before ut fades to black and white. So it seemed like an illusion, but it is just a trick.

bcb77 · 2012-10-02T03:32:12+00:00

Pretty cool.

cjbrigol · 2012-10-02T03:44:24+00:00

You wanna know something even cooler? Close one eye and look at it. Then after it changes and you're seeing it in color, switch eyes. It's in black and white. Switch back. Back to color.

I'm on a horse.

chaoszero4 · 2012-10-02T03:47:56+00:00

why is this on /r/WTF

imbelligerentlyhappy · 2012-10-02T03:50:08+00:00

Checking the comments and thanking fellow redditors for assuring me.

therealelainebenes · 2012-10-02T03:55:42+00:00

Well, that was sort of disappointing. I don't believe I would trip on this even if I were already tripping... perhaps THAT is the WTF part about it?

lkmjoeqwert · 2012-10-02T04:00:03+00:00

im not sure if this is for real, or if you just quickly thew the color image in there

mcbainVSmendoza · 2012-10-02T04:00:06+00:00

Hooray for after-images!

Octaviom18 · 2012-10-02T04:05:39+00:00

I am now crossed eyed...

juanzy · 2012-10-02T04:08:42+00:00

This belongs in r/WTFisthisdoinginrwtf

samuraicat · 2012-10-02T04:15:14+00:00

I always get scared and think something is going to scream at me instead of something cool happening.

tora22 · 2012-10-02T04:17:27+00:00

Totally did not work. Want refund.

MugatusDog · 2012-10-02T04:18:19+00:00

/r/woahdude deserves this much more than /r/wtf

Vazquezedr · 2012-10-02T04:19:26+00:00

Lmao I guess we've all done the maze game lol

I_am_awesomo · 2012-10-02T04:19:51+00:00

Too scared to do right the first time. Now I have to do it again to see the illusion. Reddit you have given me trust issues.

Googalyfrog · 2012-10-02T04:19:51+00:00

turned my sound off and kept flicking back and fourth between tabs, the internet has ruined my trust in people

cathyr91 · 2012-10-02T04:20:54+00:00

Holding my iPhone inches from my face. I was also scared of this

Michael0609 · 2012-10-02T04:21:49+00:00

What it flashes too!

http://imgur.com/6wR0r

Crazybonbon · 2012-10-02T04:26:03+00:00

Am I the only one who doesn't get it?

CmonTouchIt · 2012-10-02T04:27:05+00:00

Its funny, even after reading all the comments, I still think its too risky to let the bar finish

itslenny · 2012-10-02T04:27:52+00:00

First I was too afraid to do it because I thought it was gonna scare me.. THEN I read the comments. THEN I said "no way that's gotta be fake.. there must be a few frames of full-color" THEN I broke the image apart in editing software and nope.... totally legit.

Sir_Higgalot · 2012-10-02T04:27:54+00:00

Every time I view images on /r/wtf I look at the URL first, and if it's a GIF, immediately hit the back button.

kawthuldrok · 2012-10-02T04:29:28+00:00

Relevant xkcd

just_another_dreamer · 2012-10-02T04:32:17+00:00

For a second there I was like "just a normal fucking picture what a waste of time" and not a second later, "holy shit that's fucking awesome!"

antifogmatic · 2012-10-02T04:38:53+00:00

Anyone else notice that it stays in color as long as your looking generally at the dot? Moment you slip, instantly b&w. Brains are strange strange things

onewarriorprincess · 2012-10-02T04:41:36+00:00

Guys, this isn't WTF either.

Dareall · 2012-10-02T04:46:57+00:00

That was nice. No memes, no scary stuff jumping out, just a sweet juicy mini mind fuck.

malikdej55 · 2012-10-02T04:50:11+00:00

this belongs in /r/woahdude

invicktion · 2012-10-02T04:52:02+00:00

You just unintentionally trolled a lot if redditors haha was so sure something was going to pop up ;)

PvtJenkins012 · 2012-10-02T04:52:48+00:00

kind of reminds me of the book "the giver" and how the receiver must of viewed the world.

Fleshflayer · 2012-10-02T05:00:26+00:00

Any chance you could stuff this repost up your ass? Thanks.

RoyallyTenenbaumed · 2012-10-02T05:02:40+00:00

WITCHCRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might_Be_God · 2012-10-02T05:04:33+00:00

Is it just me or if you stare at the dot the whole time, it stays in color?

thinsational · 2012-10-02T05:09:36+00:00

I bet everyone stopped to read the comments to make sure

giraff_guy · 2012-10-02T05:16:15+00:00

This GIF took too long to load and now I have buildings permanently etched into my retinas.

radamintos · 2012-10-02T05:16:56+00:00

are you guys 15 years old or less? FUCK, you are fucking LAME.

Speed_Racist256 · 2012-10-02T05:17:55+00:00

This is pretty easy to do, all you have to do is get an image and then turn it into negative and gray scale pictures.

Give me a picture and i'll make it do this

spoonman12 · 2012-10-02T05:20:16+00:00

FUCK

jetpackjoe · 2012-10-02T05:20:41+00:00

Dude! you can't DO that
Note- I have been drinking

ZachTheHippo · 2012-10-02T05:24:16+00:00

I don't see the sailboat.

heshroot · 2012-10-02T05:34:27+00:00

I've seen this so many times it that stays negative.

ambybabyxo · 2012-10-02T05:34:33+00:00

when it flashes to the "negative" image, the bottom reads "this is a black and white image, but you DID see the colors of the walls; didn't you?!"

...wait; what?!

also if you stare at the dot and then click to the comments, you can still see the building!

yumigumibear · 2012-10-02T05:40:46+00:00

i thought that it was some new mindreading .gif where you checked out the picture, looked down at the text, looked at the dot and the loading bar would move when you looked at the dot. worked the first few times.

josephanthony · 2012-10-02T05:43:35+00:00

It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who gets really suspicious when asked to stare at a bland still image. I think we've all been traumatised by cheap 'jump-scare' gifs for too long.

spaceburger · 2012-10-02T05:53:19+00:00

Who knew a rainbowized picture of an apartment building could spark so much fear?

Econis · 2012-10-02T06:01:01+00:00

its funny because im colour blind

Wheniod · 2012-10-02T06:04:48+00:00

I saw colors everywhere. Shit was dope

tengen · 2012-10-02T06:27:22+00:00

1) Copy initial image

2) Import to Photoshop

3) Invert colors

4) Copy and paste black and white image

5) Change color photo to "Overlay", place on top.

6) Done.

Tsugua354 · 2012-10-02T06:48:18+00:00

not sure if i should upvote because it's cool, or downvote because it's not wtf at all

kevkevmacattack · 2012-10-02T07:14:13+00:00

Whaaaat!

flyboy393 · 2012-10-02T07:45:00+00:00

Mind = blown.

TeaRat · 2012-10-02T07:47:57+00:00

This is the age where no one can trust a simple illusion. If it's not obviously an eye-fuck, we're scared to be amazed.

dscribbz · 2012-10-02T02:48:08+00:00

This isn't WTF, OP is a faggot.

piccini9 · 2012-10-02T03:01:10+00:00

I was afraid something was going to jump out, but I looked anyway. You know, because I'm not a big fat sissy.

WTF
