In the twitter pic, do you see blocks of rubber with grooves between them like a tyre-tread, or do you see flat sections bounded by raised ridges..?

How are you even seeing raised ridges? It's always been super obviously a tire.

I mean earlier, when I raised it, I was seeing ridges instead of grooves... now it's grooves.

I can't be the only one.

It was obviously a shot of a tire, so I always saw it as a tire, but once Cable guy pointed out that it could be seen as ridges, I was able to trick my brain into seeing it that way too.

Thank you for this, I'm having fun with how badly my brain is struggling with this. I mean it's obviously a truck tire either way, but it looks totally different based on which angle I look at, and often if I look at one and scroll to that other, the second one flips on me.

Astronauts, probably. Immediately prior to sealing up the LM for departure, they would throw the bags of all their lunar surface gear out the door, no use carrying it back up to orbit. So there's loads of bespoke tools and human feces on the moon! Maybe even a tool to work on the Lunar Rover equivalent of tires.

One half of this image should look “correct” in the sense that they appear like depressions. If so then it doesn’t really matter which one it is.

It's the same illusion... as SLOSifl's post shows quite well.

Incidentaly, I woke up this morning, went to shut down photoshop where I'd cropped the twitter post for imgur, and it was ridges. Came to post a "uh guys it's back..." and the illusion had gone. Now it's grooves again.

The brain is WEIRD.

i always wondered what the kind of “reverse depth” style of optical illusion was all about; i think it’s the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “get” ridges to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

As a counterpoint.
I was living in Coburg. My super old terrier went missing from my front yard.
Brick walled to about knee height. Closed and noisy ornate metal swing gate.

I had the front door open while I was cleaning/cooking whatever and he would wander in and out have a sniff and a piss in the sunshine.
He was gone for awhile so I went to check on him. Gone. Gate closed.

I panic. He is 16-17, eyes are going if he got out he will die.
I run around the immediate street looking and then start calling around.

Hours later I find what I think might be him on Lortsmiths lost dogs. lovely low res photo but I think its him.
I call. They wont let me get him as its now after 5 or whatever. Please he will be terrified. No.

So I go in the next morning, wait in reception until upstairs where lost pets are is open. Yes its my dog.

They are really reluctant to return him. - Which didn't click until I though about it later. I just wanted my dog.
The attitude went away when I explained how old he was.,

Checked him over paid a few hundred dollars for the stay and asked how he got there. Someone handed him in.
I asked if I could have those details so I could say thank you, I've had this dog since childhood. Was so scared and grateful.

Cant give me the details. Ok can you maby call them for me?
Yes and does so making sure i cant see it being dialed.. Hands me the phone.

I get the same weird vibe from the call that didn't click until later. I talk to the lady who handed him in who seemed very worried about him until I explain he is very old. Yes I know what he looks like.


It was only afterwards that I realized, some oval office, took my dog, from my front yard, took it to the pound, told them he was abused and I thanked her for it, thanked the staff and handed over the better part of a weeks pay.
The staff knew what had happened from their reactions and attitude, still took my money, but I just wanted my mate back, and it didn't click until later.



He looked kinda like this :
