  2. Farted says:

    I have seen this illusion alot! They are both the same size!

  3. sancho says:

    que putadas son esas they are the same

  4. PSYCH says:

    Yeh this illusion is all about depth perception, the reason why one line looks shorter than the other is because our brains compare them to real life images (e.g. the corners of a room)

    Actually, they’re supposed to be further apart for the illusion to work!

    For pretty much any illusion that asks, “which is larger?” the answer is, “they’re the same size.” This is a pretty popular one and I’ve seen it a lot.

    ther both the same length its just that cuz the arrow on the bottem one is pointing in a diiferent direction than the top one it looks longer…

    actually the first 1 is longer becuse it goes on forever since the arrows are pointing out

    you guys are all wrong. the top one is longer because, as the arrow indicates, it goes on forever
    DUH

    Well, TECHNICALLY, if you think about geomety and lines and line segments, the first one would be longer since it would go on forever. BUT, if you look close, they are actually the same size.

  21. Alfrdo says:

    nope the top one is longer because the arrows indicate the top line is endless and the bottom stay yhe same
