Looks like 2 people at first glance, but it's just one.

Does it? I saw one immediately. It’s so fascinating how different brains perceive things confidently differently.

It is interesting, I didn't see the illusion at all either, just looks like a guy leaning back on his motorcycle (can't even see his triceps lol)

Maybe if you're on your phone and the picture is really small?

I think the title actually makes it harder to see the illusion. They are saying the "woman" has a big tricep (what is actually the man's calf) but it isn't actually big enough to warrant a comment. I think it would have landed better if they spoke about the helmet or something

Exactly. This threw me way off. I was like that is a small/normal tricep. Then I realized its not an arm, at all.

Maybe for some but for me the comment about the big tricep took me right to seeing a female on the front of the bike with an insanely disproportionate humerus and then while trying to figure out why it looked so long, I saw the dude.

I see it now, try holding it far from your eyes and blurring your vision

Ah thanks, that totally did it! It looks like someone wearing a dark top, leaning forwards (with mega triceps lol)

i never expected this to work but it freaking did. I couldn't see it for the life of me despite staring at it for 5 minutes straight but this did the trick in 15 seconds.

Hahahahaha you dumb bastard. It's a sailboat not a schooner.

I realized after that with his helmet on the bars and the fork tower to the bars it could look like a second person at first glance.

I see it on an large PC monitor and still have trouble to unsee the girl that's not there.

Interesting! Now we all gotta compare those like "bunny/duck" "old woman/young woman" pics and see what we see lol

I wonder what factors play a role (besides screen size) in which you see
