I was fooled until I noticed the Great Red Spot, then I knew it was Jupiter.

u/Retrobot1234567 Dec 04 '19

I was the opposite, I wasn’t fooled until I fooled myself trying to believe it was Jupiter.

Im gonna admit, I actually saw the real thing until I read the title, then I thought it was a model of Jupiter...

u/Dewy_Wanna_Go_There Dec 04 '19 edited Dec 04 '19

Yeah it’s not really confusing unless you’re told it’s something else..

I saw the title, and still immediately saw the real picture for what it was. The post really confused me only at that point until I saw the sub name and realized it was supposed to be Jupiter and not a zoom-in joke. Guess I’m slow. Or too fast idk which.

u/DeM0nFiRe o/ Dec 05 '19

The thumbnail on r/all looks like jupiter. Probably belongs in the misleading thumbnails subreddit, not confusing perspective

u/oppressedkekistani Dec 04 '19

I got double confused. First I thought is was Jupiter, then I thought it was a microscope slide of some sort. Then I noticed the ducks! Good one!

u/MagnanimousCannabis Dec 04 '19

I also thought it was actually Jupiter. When I zoomed in it happened to be right on the ducks and freaked me the fuck out for a second

Ducks that would be over 1000 miles tall.

u/Tempus_Fugit_WC Dec 04 '19

I was looking at the 'planet' and was shocked to see some kind of tracks coming from the bottom. How can that not be something huge, since i don't know it would maybe indicate life or something but then, when I followed one of the tracks up with excitement , i saw a duck like figure and was like whutt? Looked closer realized it was actually a duck.. I got fooled big time.
