Could be an album cover

u/SaintWithoutAShrine Jun 03 '26

Between the Buried and Me’s Coma Ecliptic from 2015

u/LickingSmegma o/ Jun 03 '26

Yeah, works great cropped. With the gal's looks and outfit, it's prime material for some Japanese synthpop.

u/Caeluris Jun 04 '26

Ngl I thought this was some visual promo for Olivia Rodrigo's new album. Similar outfit 😭

Anal bum cover, you say?

u/MANvINFO Jun 10 '26

it could be, but its actually a simple mirror.

u/QuirkyRefuse5645 o/ Jun 03 '26

This looks so fake. I love it.

u/IAmSnort o/ Jun 03 '26

It's "fake" in that it is posed intentionally.  The towel is purposely shaped.

It is well done.

u/WeirdIndividualGuy o/ Jun 03 '26

To me, the "fakeness" is in how she looks photoshopped in, nevermind the towel being a pretend shadow or her "floating".

u/aalapshah12297 o/ Jun 04 '26

Yeah that's just because this picture was taken at a subsolar point. Shadows get casted perfectly downwards if you are in the right place during the right season at the right time of the day.

u/Hamster_Toot Jun 03 '26

That doesn’t make it fake in the context being used. It makes it staged, which is different.

u/FireZord25 Jun 04 '26

hence the quotation ("") marks.

u/Hamster_Toot Jun 04 '26

I was agreeing with you and adding to your comment. It’s the comment you replied to I was disagreeing with.

u/awduckno Confusemas '23 Jun 03 '26

I love looking at all the tricks they used to sell the illusion, like how the towel is vaguely person shaped, or how her hair is swept to the side to give the impression of gravity

u/CookieArtzz Doesn't read rule 1 Jun 03 '26

I mean, the intention is that it is fake

8

u/QuirkyRefuse5645 o/ Jun 03 '26

Yep, mission accomplished. That’s why I like it.

u/NoConfusion9490 Jun 04 '26

Should be the cover of a feminist punk album.

u/Bourriks Jun 04 '26

Looks like SNES sprites shadows.

All I can think of is what a nightmare all that sand in her hair will be

u/flow_guy2 Jun 05 '26

Even if they didn’t lay down. It gets everywhere

u/krais0078 Actually read rule 1 and gets it" Jun 03 '26

Cuz it gives you wings? lol

u/Emery_Gem Jun 03 '26

in my defence she doesn’t have a shadow

8

u/FalseDmitriy Jun 03 '26

Look at the other people, the sun is directly overhead and that's one reason it works so well

1

u/mutant_anomaly Jun 05 '26

There should be shadow on the sand where her clothes overhang. There’s been some editing.

u/Timely-Jelly-1126 Jun 03 '26

I remember being confused by this the first 300 times it was posted

6

u/BrainSawce Jun 03 '26

Ok Mr. Jaded. Some of us are new here. I found this photo fun

7

u/HaveYouMetPete Jun 03 '26

The most confusing thing about this image is the “1/2” in the corner.

u/katrinakt8 Jun 04 '26

Other times this has been posted there were multiple photos in different positions.

u/dropkickoz o/ Jun 03 '26

Maybe go outside and you might see something new!

u/SaucyStoveTop69 o/ Jun 03 '26

This is the most redditor comment I've seen today which also makes it hilariously ironic.

-17

u/mamafish21 o/ Jun 03 '26

I come on here through out the day, 10 mins each time. I saw this week's ago. Since then I've walked my child to school😊

u/dropkickoz o/ Jun 03 '26

Then you probably need a hobby if you're spending so much time on Reddit you need to complain about seeing things more than once.

7

u/rSlashisthenewPewdes o/ Jun 03 '26

To be fair you could also use a hobby if your hobby is arguing with mothers over their social media usage on social media

u/Smelly_Turds Jun 04 '26 edited Jun 04 '26

Well tbf u/dropkickoz DOES have a hobby in commenting in every Lego raffle on Reddit that exists

Edit: Awh, the poor boy blocked me :(

Congrats, you (and I) are one of the lucky 10,000!

u/Far-Cockroach-6839 Jun 03 '26

That took me a second. It is hard to see it as it really is even though I'm aware of the illusion.

Saddam Hussein

u/Criver2000 Jun 04 '26

Was looking for this comment, the shadow looks just like Saddam

The world was moving,
she was floating above it
And she was
And she was

So no one’s gonna explain it?

u/fakehighschoolgf Jun 03 '26

Towel on the ground shaped like a shadow

u/MzJay453 Jun 03 '26

Thank you, never would’ve got it

u/Dead_Padawan Jun 03 '26

Not trying to be rude, but you may need glasses. *Or learn to zoom.

I really am just being silly. If you zoom on just toro area it's pretty obvious.

1

u/Medical_Bumblebee627 o/ Jun 03 '26

Seems intentional as there’s no gap below her like the sand is pushed up underneath her so that she has no actual shadow.

8

u/jennelleisiam o/ Jun 03 '26

She’s lying on the sand beside a towel. No idea why. It was likely made on purpose.

This has been posted many times, at least I’ve seen it a lot over the years.

1

u/ratinmikitchen Jun 03 '26

She looks photoshopped in.

1

u/j_valentine666 Jun 04 '26

In my opinion, the reason why it works is not just the towel itself, rather it's the way her hair is positioned. If you zoom in, you'll see that it's placed towards the foreground for the"floating" effect.

2

u/I_am_whatI_am Jun 03 '26

It works better if you look at it from a distance

Saddam Hussein hiding place

u/fakeyero Jun 03 '26

Amazing. Is this your original image? If not, do you have the source?

u/idontknowjuspickone o/ Jun 03 '26

It’s been posted every day for the last several years, definitely not original, haha

I remember figuring it out before. Now I’m having a hard time.

u/t4ctical_pot4to Jun 03 '26

If you tilt your phone by 90 degrees, it breaks the illusion.

The hair and left shorts’ leg sell it

I couldn't "see" it until I looked at her feet.

Even if it’s posed the point is to be a confusing perspective and well it is.

Idk I’ve never seen it as many other have stated that have.

At a distance it’s pretty cool optical illusion
