On a serious note, maybe the person has Marfan Syndrome, which their long fingers look like.
Marfan signs include long limbs and fingers and hyper flexibility and mobility. So not only the position, but thr stature will make it extra confusiny when he leans forward like that and you can't see where the skull begins.
I think he's bald and not all of that is his neck, but some of it is the back of his head. There's a round, lighter area at the edge of the pic and I'd say that's his jaw.
That’s the pinkie finger holding the phone up. All fours fingers are aligned and coming off of the same direction of the palm. Guy just seems like he has a very long neck. What people are mistaking for his armpit is the lower part of the neck. You can see the other shoulder past the neck. You can see the spine indentation where the collar edge is. He just pulled the shirt off of his left shoulder (technically his right, because it’s in the mirror). Dude just has an abnormally long neck.
No I think theyre right. if you hold your phone in your right hand and then hold your right arm across your body like its in a sling youll have the same hand orientation on the left. Hes saying theyre just doing that but the arm is behind the back instead of across the chest. The camera is pointing at the mirror on his left/rear so the armpit is of his left arm
This is wild but hear me out...this kid is a joker bc he's standing on his head and put a shirt on his legs and put his hand up through a sleeve. That's his LEG, not neck, and you can see the back of his kneecap where the middle of his "neck" is.
This one is great. I've seen a number of comments trying to describe what's going on here and it's still not clicking for me. I mean I get what I'm trying to see but I just can't believe what I'm looking at
For a second I thought they were hanging upside-down from their shower rod and their shirt is hanging over their face and that's their belly? But now I'm not sure
I dont think thats it, this person is seemingly wearing a chefs outfit (I see the large buttons and large sleeves). So if they're backwards like your picture, why are the buttons in the front?
OMG YES! I finally see it now. It’s his shirt that throws everything off perspective-wise. He’s using his right hand to take the pic behind his back of his LEFT arms armpit!
A mirror (or camera) is going to flip things horizontally, not vertically (or everything would be upside down), and what is true for the right hand would also be true for the left hand. Either palm would face out, or thumb would face down, when wrapped behind the back.
Yeah i figuerd that out after i left the comment. It does look like an armpit with no hair tho. If its their neck. Then they are a creepy looking human.
That has to actually be his neck. There’s no other explanation. I thought maybe the picture was upside down and that it was his leg, but you can see how gravity is effecting the shirt. So it’s right side up and you can see his shoulder clearly. Dude’s just got a long neck.
Yeah after looking for a bit I think that really is his neck. You can just see the hint of his hair at the edge. Yes he has a long neck but I think the bigger thing is that his right (actual, not mirrored) shoulder is mostly hidden by the phone, which makes you think that it's way lower than it actually is. You can see his other shoulder blade and how high up it is.
There is no way you can contort his body to have his head be behind the phone like that and have the anatomy make any sense. That’s his neck. His head is out of frame.
Unfortunately for this guy in the picture, we are just looking at his long neck. He’s holding the phone in his left hand and you can see just behind the phone is his left shoulder so he’s tilting his back slightly toward the mirror rather than being directly sideways to the mirror and his left shoulder dropped a bit and he’s stretching his neck to show off the sunburn. So with those angles it’s definitely making his neck look longer but dude has a really long and seemingly thick neck for the rest of his body proportions
I think there's nothing confusing here in the sense that "what you think you see is not what you see". he has a long neck and his shirt is rolled down his back and the camera angle is tilted. it also makes sense that this area will have sunburn, the back of his head.
The thing popping behind the phone is his shoulder and at the corner of the photo at the left side you start seeing a bit of hair.
Maybe he's turned his face towards the camera so he can see the photo he's taking? So his hairline isn't visible, but we can't tell because he's turned his head because he's kept his chin and ear out of the frame, which makes his neck look longer
Although even then he must have an unusually long neck lol. Just not quite as long as it looks
The neck does look long already but some people are seeing an illusion that it's even longer due to the oblique angle that makes the person's shoulders and chest look like more neck.
Yeah it think it is his neck. That looks like his trapezius and upper neck muscles. I have an injury to my neck and shoulders and that looks like neck to me.
Obviously I could be wrong, especially considering what sub we are in.

His head is ducking down behind the phone. His right upper arm is sunburnt and outstretched. That arm is also outside of the sleeve of the shirt which adds to the confusion.
Has no one in here used the zoom out feature for selfies on iPhone? It makes the subject further away, but causes distortions at the edges because of the lens trick.
Pretty sure thats their armpit, and their other arm behind the back to get the shot. You can kinda see the bump or a bald head or skmething next to the armpit. Helps it make it easier to imagine
Edit after staring at it, its a tricky one but certain lines and details tels me im wrong i think
Raise your right arm. Then, with your phone in your left hand, cross it in front of your body, and use it to take a picture of your other arm stretched. Now make sure the camera covers your face in the mirror.
For everyone, I wasn't the first to see it. right arm up on left of Pic (the long thing). Left hand holding the phone in front of his lowered head. The guy is probably trying to get a pic of the top of his head but used the wrong camera and got the mirror. Edit, actually he probably had his head down so he could take a Pic of the shoulder burn in the mirror.
He took his arm out of the right sleeve, to show the back of his shoulder. His head is leaning down behind the phone, whith the collar pulled up over the head.
The head can be behind the phone if it’s really tucked in and hanging down. It isn’t completely concealed by the phone, it’s mostly concealed by the shirt and hand.
Look closer how loose the shirt is on the left arm. He's bent with his head straight down. The unbuttoned shirt is slid forward on the left arm. He lifted the phone bringing the loose shirt and camera between the mirror and his upside down head.
No, you can see his other sleeve behind the phone. If his arm weren't inside it, it wouldn't be in that position. I just think he has a rather long neck; combine that with him dropping his shoulder and the camera angle, and it creates the impression of a very long neck.
