    Yeah you had it right - this is just a photoshopped chair to demonstrate the ‘other’ way to see it

    Yeah. More optical illusion than confusing perspective, but I get that this is a response post to a prior post.

    Oh that's just mean lol. I remember when they put the original post in context that make me think of our loft angle and went ohhhhhh now I see it. Just to see this and think wtf lol

    Oh, that’s dumb. We all saw the two perspectives earlier right? Now he’s just trolling?

    No, there were plenty of people in the original post complaining that it wasn't confusing at all because they only saw it the "right" way.

    I was first tricked by the illusion of a room (as demonstrated by the chair in this post) and then saw the correct way of it being a wall, but some people were adamant that it was obviously a wall. OP here photoshopped a chair to show them the illusion / confusion.

    I was one of those people! It seems super obvious after seeing this image, but I couldn’t figure out what was confusing about the original

    No, it just looked like a floor to me and I was wondering why they called it a wall. But I just scrolled on, because shut up internet.

    I tried to recreate this in my son's room but there's too much crap on the floor.

    Er, wall.

    Ok, now I understand, thank you! I really couldn't see it.

    As long as I look at the chair, as soon as I look anywhere else I just see a wall, I'm too familiar with the roof ceilings

    I’m more confused, left to ponder why the chair casts a shadow on the floor, but nothing on the walls behind it. 🤔

    Maybe part of the problem for some people who can't see it well, is that you have your camera (phone) on wide angle view mode (aka fish eye lens) which distorts things. The give away is that the paint bucket does not look right. So, turn off all zoom and/or wide angle view mode and take another pic. Might be easier for some to see then.

    Out of curiosity, why a chair? Why not something attractive, like a magnet?
