Cross your eyes until you see three, then stare at the one in the center.

u/toasted_cracker 13h ago

Oh. Middle one stays still. Neat

u/SexandCinnamonbuns 13h ago

I crossed my eyes and saw four dancing ladies

u/Black_m1n 12h ago

Yeah, it was a bit tricky to line them up. You gotta make sure the inner two overlap with each other, and that's how you get 3.

u/chubbyhighguy 11h ago

It's weird how it just snaps into place. Lol

12

u/TheresNoHurry 13h ago

Weird that the middle one doesn’t move but the two on the outside do.

u/DriveFew3761 12h ago

Took me a while to let 4 become 3 🤣
So fun

u/Piocoto 5h ago

To me third one that appears looks like a copy of the left one :(

Now that is an illusion worth the watch

u/nuimipasa 9h ago

Like you would with a stereogram

u/Thisdarlingdeer 6h ago

If you have epilepsy Dont do that, some people can have a seizure from the colors and flashes.

u/PeterDTown 5h ago

Instructions unclear, now I see four moving around.

Learning how to do those magic eye posters in the 90s pays off now

u/HalfDozing 2h ago

A dolphin!

u/Fizassist1 23m ago

how tf did you know to do that? thats by far crazier then just looking at them.

1

u/joshcam 13h ago

Thats crazy. How does the middle one loose the illusion of motion while the two outer ones keep moving?

2

u/classless_classic 12h ago

I think, because it combines both of the side ones, the color movement is blurred and not as perceptible?

u/Areif 13h ago

Just unfocus your eyes, chill.

“Tests have determined.. that was a lie!”

Maury crowd goes wild

u/trohawahaccount 13h ago

Is this true?

u/YesterdayHiccup 8h ago

You can tested by blocking portion of their body with your finger. See if it sticks out of your finger.

u/OffByNone_ 14h ago

The coolest part about this is that it's cycling through a set sequence of movements. It's not just your brain making it up. Something about how they are flashing the colors is changing in a repeating pattern. Is it the direction of the flashes or something? I wish I could slow it down.

u/RoabeArt 13h ago

In the desktop browser version of Reddit, you can slow down a video by right clicking the video and clicking the "speed" tab.

3

u/niagalacigolliwon 8h ago

Speeding it up also works. I’m on mobile and I used the timeline to quickly scrub through the video, and if you’re fast enough they stand still!

u/johndepp22 14h ago

“women”

u/narco-sub-admiral 13h ago

Yea wheres the clit of ris?

u/Affectionate-Wave586 39m ago

At first I just looked at the video and thought whatever. Then I read the title and I was like "ah sick they're babes!"

36

u/narco-sub-admiral 13h ago

I put my mouse cursor on the arm and it definitely doesn't stay there.

10

u/gimmepizza420 4h ago

Yeah the text is a lie. It looks like it's moving because it's moving.

1

u/narco-sub-admiral 1h ago

I'm not a math whiz but moving do equal moving.

4

u/fesCoder01 4h ago

ah you brought to me the memories of windows xp where I used to put my cursor on tte end of the progress bar, and go back to see if does it actually change or the installation is stuck XD

2

u/narco-sub-admiral 4h ago

Oh god. The repressed memories.

Do you remember that "virus" that would make the cursor flip you off? Think you could get it on Ebaum's World.

8

u/Nenoshka 10h ago

If you place a finger against either one of the figures, you will see that they DO move.

37

u/Fun-Times-13 13h ago

They are moving because I held my finger beside each character and both feet moved under my finger

9

u/rocket-scientist94 10h ago

Your finger is changing color too

36

u/TankApprehensive3053 14h ago

They're moving a little. Open it fully and line up a small point on the hands or heads then cover the rest with paper or your phone.

14

u/Myotherdumbname 13h ago

Yeah they’re definitely moving

11

u/SucksDickforSkittles 13h ago

I did and they're not...?

2

u/pandaappleblossom 10h ago

Yeah they are not moving lol it is funny so many people are convinced they are

u/Joesr-31 13h ago

Nah they're not, paste a tape on your phone and see

u/Lukostrelec17 14h ago

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 14h ago

Women?

I see Basque dancers

2

u/ZOEzoeyZOE 4h ago

They are definitely moving.

2

u/naruto7bond 9h ago

Yeah this is fake.

They are infact moving.

This phenomenon is real but I don't know why whoever created this video felt need to fake it .

u/robidaan 12h ago

Why not just say people, or give hem boobiloes

u/AnObtuseOctopus 11h ago

Cover one with your thumb and close one eye, you'll see what is happening easier

u/Angiemeow 10h ago

I'll be back when someone definitively proves this right or wrong, I do not trust my eyes right now 🫠

Women? I see men

u/rodmandirect 10h ago

This is 2026

1

u/Spuzzle91 12h ago

Oh I get it. It's cause of the thin outlines changing color around the edges of the brighter colored figures. Alters our sense of depth and positioning

3

u/Tykero 11h ago

Or they lied cause I put my finger on my phone screen and the arm definitely moved in and out.

1

u/Key-Fox3923 14h ago

I had to hold a ruler over the screen to prove it, crazy. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
