All year long, we’ve brought you some of the most head-scratching photos from Reddit’s r/confusing_perspective thread! So here is a full compliation of the ones that most people got frustrated trying to figure out. See how many you can decipher:
1.
Is this bird being held up by its tail feathers?!
2.
There is a fourth person taking this shot; it is not a ghost! Where are they?
3.
This is not an invisible man walking a dog. What is happening here?
4.
Did this person put their foot on the wrong way?!
5.
Like most commenters on this one, my brain was not braining. Can you explain what is happening here?
6.
What appendage is this lady bug sitting on?
7.
Is that the world’s largest iPhone?
8.
Somebody tell us how this person’s daughter is laying under these covers. (Hint, that’s a fluffy pillow, not her head.)
9.
Why does this man look like a giant standing above his girlfriend?
10.
Contrary to popular belief, this person is not holding a tiny kindle:
11.
This person’s body is also odd. Can you make sense of it?
12.
This person’s legs aren’t crossed at all. Explain!
13.
Now, tell us what is going on with this broom?
14.
Exhibit A. This person is scooping their food with their hand, but it is not off a plate. What is it?
15.
Exhibit B. This is not a see-through plate — nor does the design of the bottom of the plate match the counters. What in tarnation is going on?
16.
Ah! This is not a giant moth! What in Great Scott is this?
17.
These are actually not giant nuggets sitting together on a couch. What are they?
18.
How did this pole get inside this vehicle?
19.
And if this thing is not a flying saucer, please, tell us what it is!
20.
Is your mind trying to grasp how on earth this person’s face is popping out of the snow?
While it looks like the face is concave, it is actually convex. The person bravely slammed their face down into some fresh snow and left this impression:
21.
And how did this pole get sandwiched between these tires?
22.
The cord on this rice cooker has not been cut. Explain where it is.

There are not two strips of tar randomly in this lawn, what is it?
25.
This building is not on fire, but why does it look like it is?

These are, thankfully, not a pile of teeth. I bet you don’t know what they are, though.
27.
This is not some weird chicken hand. What is it?
28.
Why does this foot look so weird?

I bet a hundred dollars you don’t know what is causing this design.

32.
Explain how this photo changes in the mirror.
33.
Can you figure out how this building became this way?
34.
This is not two different pictures. Can you make sense of it?
35.
This is not a magical, floating tree. Where is the bottom of the trunk?
36.
What is going on with this floor?
37.
Why do the beams in this apartment complex look broken?
38.
Is someone’s feet the wrong way here?
39.

51.
This laser is not pointing up. Which way is it pointing?
52.
Why don’t these poles have shadows?
53.
This is not a dog. What would you guess this is?
Some person’s hair, up in a clip!
54.
Does this door just open up to the other side of the wall?
Nope! The shape of the wall angles in, giving that illusion if you are standing in the right spot.
55.
This one has me confused beyond belief. What is going on?
56.
What are these…balls?

Is this a top-down view or is the person looking up?
60.
There is a car here. Can you tell where?
61.
Someone called this “a bouquet of toe beans” and it is confusing and a bit unsettling. Can you decipher it?

What in tarnation is going on here?
71.
The person who took this picture admits they have no clue what it is. Can you explain?

If you think this is a five-gallon bucket with a fluffy paint roller in it, think again. What is it?
It is a VapoRub stick that appears to have crystalized:
73.
Despite this looking terrifying, it actually is not. What is happening here?
74.
No matter how much it looks like this person has a sausage in their ear, they do not. EXPLAIN!!!

And what about this helmet? Is it floating?:
77.
Does this person have some sort of weirdly double-jointed thumb?
78.
What the heck happened to this motorcyclist’s head?

81.
Is this person’s legs crossed or bent?
82.
Yikes! I bet you know why this is such a jump scare…LOL.

Look at the legs by the suitcase. What happened to the top half of the person’s body?

Why does this staircase look so mind-boggling?
93.
Does this cat pupils really have cracked pupils?
Yes! This phenomenon is called PPM, or persistent pupil membrane. It happens in kittens when the fetal membrane stays intact while the eyes are being formed, so the embryonic tissue lingers in the iris.
94.
Is the ground really uneven here?
95.
This is not a drawing or a sketch. What is it?
96.
What body part is this wording on?
97.
And, lastly, this dog pic has got me confused to no end. Redditors can’t even agree on an explanation, can you?
Stick around for more mind-boggling photos next year. Have a happy new year!
