50 Unphotoshopped Pics That Look Fake But Are 100% Real (New Pics)

In the age of AI and reality-manipulating technology, computer and internet literacy is a must. Critical thinking and a healthy dash of skepticism also helps.But not everything online is necessarily fake news or AI’s attempt at breaking free from its technological shackles to try to take over the world. Nope, sometimes it is much simpler than that. Think confusing perspective, perfect timing, and other lucky kinds of photo shots.You see, on rare occasions, when the photo lens meetsthat one split secondcoupled up withthat one particular angle, you have photo-ops like the ones featured below—pictures that bend the mind and require a double-take (or twelve) to actually make sense of things. And if you don’t know just howlitthat is, read on!This post may includeaffiliate links.

If you’ve been on the internet for long enough, you’ll very likely be aware of whatconfusing perspectiveis. As a phenomenon, it’s quite literally what it sounds like—pictures of things that are placed in ways that make it look like it’s other things. We know this description leaves much to be desired, butit’s what it’s.

Confusing perspective photos are more or less illusions of sorts, except the methods of the matter differ. And illusions are a whole bucket of chum that requires an understanding how the human brain works.Thetl;drversion is that the brain is a blind blob of neurons and has to rely on the eyes for guidance, but the brain has to use its own imagination anyway.

But if we were to look into itin more detail, the brain is all about interpretation and nothing about perception. Since it doesn’t have eyes, ears or any of the other senses in and of itself, it relies on the appropriate sensory organs totellit what’s what.And this is where the fun begins because the brain doesn’t necessarily understand everything that these organs tell it. And so it has to resort tofilling in the gaps.

So, circling back at the issue of how illusions work—images with ambiguous representations confuse the brain, abusing its superpower of filling in the gaps, but the brain fails to do so correctly. Remember, it tries toguesstimatevisuals and make sense of them, and it can be wrong about it. This is why some illusions get trippy in our eyes.

Due to these deficiencies in how our brain works, we can also only see one side of a picture.My Wife and My Mother-in-Lawis a great example of this. It’s the famous picture in which some folks only see a young woman facing away or an elderly woman facing to the side. Some folks can see both, some only see one of them. But it’s fun stuff, right?

Why does any of it matter? Besides proving to be quite a fun distraction in life, it has opened up a vast sea of opportunityfor research. You see, some illusions are based on brightness and apparent motion.
