You'll Be Slightly Embarrassed That You Can't Quite Explain What Is Happening In These 16 Confusing Photos
by Krista Torres · BuzzFeedWelcome, welcome once again to another roundup of the most confusing photos found on Reddit this week. As always, let us know which one made you pause the longest in the comments. Here we go!
1. The person on the right does, indeed, have two legs:
If you're struggling to see it — like everyone else on Reddit — someone drew out an explainer on Imgur that helps:
2. And this cat does, indeed, have a head:
Reddit user u/Rubmynippleplease explained, "The cat moved its head down quickly at the time of the photo resulting in a blur. The bowl is in the background, not on the cat." (Look directly below the bowl and you can make out its face.)
3. These two people have the correct amount of fingers:
Many people on Reddit have differing theories as to what the extra "fingers" are in this pic. It was revealed that the two are pinching a water line. u/jadsonbreezy says, "I definitely think they are pliers, and the close guy has his fist around them, especially given the context they were trying to pinch a water line." However, u/jxa66 thinks, "The dude with the watch had both hands on the pole, and his right arm/hand is obstructed."
4. This is not a half dinosaur, half person:
The outline of the swinging ride behind the person makes it look like it is a tail.
5. This is not a three-legged, headless animal:
It is supposedly an antelope at the zoo that has its neck and head turned toward the opposite side of the camera. It's other hind leg is hiding behind the one closest to the camera.
6. This is not a one-headed, two-bodied zebra:
Zebra stripes are the perfect optical illusion, and there are really several zebras in this photo, it is just hard to depict each one.
7. Can you tell how many hills are actually in this photo?:
u/VoiceEmbarrassed1372 took the pic and said, "Well, we may never know. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how many hills there are. I took this photo during my summer vacation and only saw it last week. At first, I saw three hills, then two, and now I only see one." (Give it your best guess in the comments!)
8. This house is thankfully not on fire:
A leaf just happened to fall into frame in front of the house at the time this screenshot was taken.
9. These horses are not floating on a raft down the stream:
Someone is taking a photo of them standing in shallow water.
10. This cat is, unfortunately, not moonwalking:
It is actually lying down on its side, and someone took the photograph directly above it. Its paw is just pressed against the armrest of the couch.
11. This window is not cracked:
The reflection from the tree makes it look like it is broken.
12. This is not a person hunting in the snow:
It is simply a tree that looks like a man holding a gun.
13. This plate doesn't have a perfect triangular-shaped crack in it:
There is a piece of cake on it!
14. This is not a cat with a detached head:
It is two cats. The cat on the left is in a basket and the cat on the right has its head turned, facing the opposite side of the camera.
15. This sky did not turn blurry in this photo:
It is a picture of a pond that is reflecting the sky and trees.
16. And, lastly, the SPICE Girls 1997 album cover is still confusing the heck out of people, so let's see if you can explain it. u/bluebellforestpath says, "This has bothered me my entire life. WHAT is happening with Posh Spice? All I see is a crop top and…is that her torso? It can’t be her arm!":
The real explanation is that this pic was taken from an upward angle, and Victoria Beckham is standing and leaning down with one hand on her hip and the other straight down to the floor.
