January’s Most Mind-Bending Images Will Leave You Questioning Reality


January’s Most Mind-Bending Optical Illusions

We hope your January has gone somewhat well, all things considered. Every week, we find the most mind-boggling photos from Reddit to keep your brain in check. And, now, we’ve decided to round up all the ones that left you scratching your head a little too long in case you missed them. So, without further ado, here are 16 pics that left our BuzzFeed readers completely puzzled:

1.

What is happening with this reflection?

2.

Why do these footprints look raised instead of sunken in?

3.

Terrified is an understatement. What is this?

4.

Is this actually a translucent pigeon?!

I am still so confused. Reddit user u/BreakfastTop6899 explained, “This took me a surprisingly long time to understand what was happening. The key was in realizing the bird is on the other side of an awning, and we’re looking through it.”

5.

Can you spot what is off in this photo?

6.

How in the heck did the moon get cracked?

7.

Is this a man who just refuses to grow up?

8.

There are only two people on this bike. How is this so?

9.

Is this water somehow floating on the side of this building?

10.

Is this a floating cat?

11.

Why does this back wall look tilted?

12.

Whoa, this one is throwing me for a loop. Are those massive wine bottles, or what is going on here?

13.

The bottom of this ad is actually not NSFW…what is it?

14.

It is a person holding a necklace with their thumb:

15.

Is this the world’s first floating bunny?

16.

Is this a crow doing a push-up?!

17.

What is going on with this doorframe?

18.

Why do the lower halves of these people look like they are missing something?

19.

And, finally, is this man dangling his baby over a balcony?

Do you have a really, really, REALLY confusing photo that you think we need to see?! Add it in the comments below, and you could be featured in our next weekly roundup of stumping people!
