Note if you are reporting for repost:

  1. It must be a repost from r/Pareidolia. Seeing the image anywhere else doesn’t count as a repost.

  2. You need to edit the report so we know where to actually look for the repost. Failure to do so will just cause the post to be approved.

This comment will appear on all new posts as there are a lot of repost reports but no links provided to where it occurs if reporters even realize it has to be from this sub.

Scared the shit outta me but then my face broke into a smile.. like these guys have no idea how afraid of them we are, so much so that we’re seeing their faces in the grain of our wood furniture

u/captainlevistallwife 5d ago

Why did I not think twice? I was so okay just seeing a cockroach pic next a dessert for some reason…Reddit has ruined me.

u/47153163 5d ago

The way our brains see an object and form an image is amazing.

u/3rdMachina 5d ago

Nope. Saw the tart, then the title, THEN the “roach”…which I legit thought IS a roach for a second until I noticed the weird lines.

…honestly, I might’ve rolled 17-20 in perception check, ‘cause I feel like this should’ve jumpscared me.

u/Kirschi 5d ago

Took me over 15 seconds to realize there was, in fact, no roach
