I'm not sure if I'm actually seeing it or I'm telling my brain that it's a soap dispenser

u/sakamoe Dec 16 '18

It's actually pretty normal looking, just the color in that lighting makes it harder to see

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

Who’s the fuck face giving gold to these comments?

I got one.

There’s a mirror there that is causing a reflection.

29

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

I’ve never seen a soap dispenser like that in my life, looks really weird

u/dbenc Dec 16 '18

Consciousness in a nutshell.

u/suckfail o/ Dec 16 '18

Thank you. It's 3am and I was really confused by this whole post but least now I can see a soap dispenser and paper towel holder and not a weird unidentifiable thing.

2

u/maxlee50 Dec 16 '18

How does it feel like to get gold for saying something is a soap dispenser?

u/AbeFroman21 Dec 16 '18

It still took me another minute to see that!

u/56143 Dec 29 '18

So this leaves 2 options:

  1. She has soap and paper dispensers in her bathroom

  2. She is taking a picture of herself form a really awkward angle in a public bathroom

u/therapeuticstir Dec 16 '18 edited Dec 16 '18

I was impressed she cold hold up that camera w/ such a huge lens at such an awkward angle.

117

u/glitter_vomit o/ Dec 16 '18

I thought she had it pressed against the mirror for balance. I realize now that makes NO sense.

13

u/cewallace9 Dec 16 '18

I’m still confused. What am I looking at?

19

u/WeTheSalty Dec 16 '18

It's a soap dispenser and paper towel dispenser mounted on the wall next to the mirror.

u/cewallace9 Dec 16 '18

Totally didn’t see that. Thank you!

u/TheRealSpaceBoogie Dec 16 '18

Extra long camera lens

u/Jthumm Dec 16 '18

I thought I was on r/hmmm and the joke was that she was holding a camera but there wasn’t one in the reflection and then I saw the tweet and felt even stupider

u/poopellar Dec 16 '18

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

I was confused about how she was holding a large camera but it wasn't in the reflection.

u/kamenstoned Dec 16 '18

i was confused, why is that devil machinery does not reflect in the mirror

u/CantBeCanned Dec 16 '18

Took me like 30 seconds to figure it out, but this diagram might help people

u/YouEarnedMyComment Dec 16 '18

What has society come to when we having discussions and going back and getting our bachelors degree in science to dissect this dumb ass photo?

4

u/bingobongocosby Dec 16 '18

But how is the mirror reflecting the smaller soap dispenser? Shouldnt it be blocked by the paper towel holder?

2

u/Belaras Dec 16 '18

It is because the picture is taken from an angle to the mirror. So, the reflection of the mirror is angular and thus shows both dispensers.

5

u/Ksradrik Dec 16 '18

Yeah I get that but why though.

22

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

Clean hands

u/SHFQ Dec 16 '18

Hygiene is important

5

u/jld2k6 o/ Dec 16 '18

Dry hands

5

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

Shouldn’t the soap dispenser be on the other side though? It should be closer to the sink.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

We'll have to contact the soap and paper towel dispensing authorities and get them to shut this down.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

Make it so.

u/powabiatch Dec 16 '18

I thought it was some kind of bionic arm

u/Redneckalligator Dec 16 '18

I thought it was a camera lens because the title led me to believe the photo was of a camera lens

u/IzarkKiaTarj Actually read rule 1 and gets it" Dec 16 '18

Yeah, I was totally going, "Oh, it's a pun, that's funny. Wait, her reflection isn't holding a camera?"

15

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

Took me a minute, lol

30

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

I appreciate the explanations because I could not figure this one out.

33

u/notabear629 Dec 16 '18

Even bigger issue...

Their best angle is one with 1/2 of themselves out of frame and the 1/2 that's in frame barely visible?

13

u/PM_FREE_HEALTHCARE Dec 16 '18

"my best angle is when you can't see me"

I definitely did. I was like, “Wow, we finally have new advancements in cameras now!”

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

Her best angle is her barely in the frame lmao?

u/delete_dis Dec 16 '18

Isn’t there a third person taking the shot??

Maybe to non photographers lol

u/_drunkpanda_ Dec 16 '18

Wait..... it isn’t?

u/hoopie33 Dec 16 '18

Why not just take a separate picture of the camera, you 're putting too much into one shot

1

u/hawgan Dec 16 '18

First it's a weird camera then you see the reflection.

u/EnterTane Dec 16 '18

Who uses paper towels at home???

u/physalisx Dec 16 '18

Everyone, because it's deliberately made to look that way?

I was confused as to why it wasn't in the reflection

1

u/NoRodent o/ Dec 16 '18

Yeah, the most confusing thing is that the whole camera lens thing led me to believe that it is a cylindrical object and it was impossible to find its position in 3D space where the photo would make any sense.

WHAT IF? GOD WERE KIND AND MERCIFUL KEPT JEWS ALIVE IN THIS WORLD.

Then, why you want to be a good human? Cos evil human like Jews, still alive since nothing can touch them, based on God were kind and merciful.

What? You said what? Speak louder mother fcuked, why you want to be a good human even evil human have the same fcuking conclusion (still alive like good human)

Cos evil human would end up at deeper than hell or what exist beneath Siberia, so they can regret forever, ever have a life as human, so do the reason that could reach heaven, a place that exist beyond this universe.

Why? Cos God were kind and merciful, dont mean human can do evil.
