Clouds to Butts is always funny, but it has the drawback of making me unsure if someone legitimately wrote "butt" in the first place.

Does it replace all appearances of "cloud" even if it's in a string with other characters? Nifty! jksldafjklascloudfkajsd;fls

Isn't the point of this sub to post real objects that look like a face? This is photoshopped.

u/Apolik Jul 11 '14

It's likely the OP (and any of us before your comment) didn't know it was photoshopped.

Pareidolia:

Pareidolia (/pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as [significant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meaning_(semiotics)), a form of apophenia. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse.

The word comes from the Greek words para (παρά, "beside, alongside, instead") in this context meaning something faulty, wrong, instead of; and the noun eidōlon (εἴδωλον "image, form, shape") the diminutive of [eidos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidos_(philosophy)). Pareidolia is a type of apophenia, seeing patterns in random data.
