A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
If u see it tilted towards the bottom, try to look at it from bottom to up, and if u see it bottom to up try to see from the top to bottom (idk if that makes sense but thats how i find i can see them, tho ur brain quickly adjusts to the “default” whichever u saw at first), also blink..
I feel like i’m being pranked. Isn’t it a cube? Equal sides? Are you seeing a different shape?
The way I tricked my brain into seeing the other perspective is I closed my eyes, flipped my phone 180, then looked at the image again. The cube was now upside down, even after flipping the phone back while continuously looking at the image.
This was a really useful trick, thank you.
It sort of worked for me. As I was turning my phone, I was able to see it in the alternative mode, but as soon as my phone reached the 180 degree position, it was like something clicked into place and I saw the cube in the same way I originally did. The clicking reminded me of when you see textures load in on a video game — it feels really trippy.
Two different orientations.
a cube looks the same in all six orientations though…
Perceived one way, the side of the cube facing you is facing downward and towards your left and you are seeing the inside of the bottom face through the rest of the cube. With a shift in perception, you can see it so that the face towards you is angled up and to the right and you see the bottom face from below the cube.
Like this:

Now the trick is to make your brain do it without removing any of the lines.
Wait.. so ig the illusion works because ur brain has to decide which face is the front face ig..
