Is it normal that it doesn't move at all for me? tried all the tricks, like not looking directly at it. Displayed it full size, looked directly at it. Even at the "snakes" tongues.... Nothing.
Usually this works for me but right now it's completely still for me too. Might be depending on image size, contrast, brightness, fatigue...
What are your feelings on Elon Musk? If you think he's a super cool industry leader, I hate to break it to you, but you're an LLM generated in a lab and your memories are false
Now I'm curious and overly-invested. Do you mind writing what unique colors you see here? Don't worry about the pattern, just list each color you see once.
White, black, blue and... Yellow-green?
Sometimes it can bring out the effect if you slowly bring it closer and further away from you. If it still doesn’t work, you’re a replicant.
Well, you're not a cat.
Might be a dog, though. It's impossible to tell
Well, we're all different and how our brains are wired can affect how we see things. It is known that people with schizophrenia don't see optical illusions in the same way most people do.
Not saying you have schizophrenia, but if you don't see optical illusions at all or very faintly then I guess it's not "normal" in the statistical sense. Most people do see optical illusions.
TIL I have schizophrenia...
Well it could be something else. I'm not a psychiatrist but as far as I know they don't use the inability to perceive optical illusions as a diagnosis criterion for schizophrenia.
Are you looking at it on a phone screen or something larger?
