“Another great example of a different type of patterns can be seen in a thumbnail on your right. The vertical lines in this illusion make it look like the horizontal lines are different in sizes,”

I can only assume that by “horizontal lines” you are referring to the diagonal lines. It is true that said the are not actually different in thickness, but they do, most certainly, differ in length.

“…it is also this way because the vertical lines are going towards different directions in each horizontal line. Another thing; it also makes them look like they are wavy.”

At this point, I’m no long sure if you’re referring to the diagonal lines as “horizontal” or “vertical.” Either way, I just want to point out that the vertical lines (straight up and down) formed by the various columns of diagonal lines are, in fact, wavy. It is more than just an optical illusion.

You don’t know why he posts what he does or what his reasoning behind it is so stop acting like your assumptions are actual fact. You can go on and on about variey and what have you, but in reality he could of just put this up because he thinks she’s hot or any other number of reasons. I don’t why he posted it and I’m not gonna pretend I know why he posted it like you tried to do. People have the right to not like an illusion or post negative feedback so get off your high horse. This illusion is dumb, get over it.

could it be said that Henry VIII’s codpiece was an optical illusion?

He is trying to give us lots of different options when it comes to WHERE an optical illusion can be found, instead of the same old “how many cats can you see in this pic..gah!! Take it for what it is… a complete stranger that has taken some time out of his day to give you something to enjoy. What have you done?

You’re probably thinking of the Fraser spiral, which consists of concentric circles, but looks like it’s spiraling inwards.

Love the use of illusions in fashion. Woot!
