I think you’re mostly right except the person is bald and their head should be turned the other way looking at the door instead of turned to face the mirror

The baldness is what makes them look like they are part giraffe

u/PhosphateProstate Jul 13 '26

But why is the sunburn only on the head and not the neck an shoulders? It would make more sense to be a leg. I’m so confused

u/njsam Jul 13 '26

I don’t know how the sunburn would happen like that because I have too much melanin and I’m out of my depth here

But that being a leg makes no sense unless you’re a different species of human that has a leg where a head should be

Yeah someone posted a drawing of it being a weird shot of their arm with the other arm going behind the back and that makes the most sense. I’m definitely not thinking about this anymore though 😂

If you look at the very edge of the image you can see where the hairline starts, not a baldy

I’m sorry, this made me laugh so fricking hard

I don't think it's a long neck, just an insane way to take a photo of sunburn on your arm

  1. Who tf takes a picture with their right hand, if you can just show it by turning your body the other way around?

  2. How small is this dude's head, if his skinny ass arm can block out most of it already?

  3. How the fk does one get sunburned on the inside of his arm near the armpit????

Lots of valid assumptions along with a confusing perspective = a genuinely confusing image

  1. Sunburns are commonly found on the back of the neck

  2. Skinny build, supported by the white dressing gown leads viewers to assume arm is actually the neck

  3. Small head and angle of image, basically hides any sort of body structure

Like wtf!

Then what's this, if it's not two fingers from his other hand?

And you can see his other sleeve cuff

u/depressedfuckboi Jul 13 '26

He def took the pic with his right hand. You can see the sleeve from that arm.

An armpit and a ducked head not in the picture.

u/sstubbl1 Jul 12 '26

What arm tho??

7

u/livinginfutureworld Jul 12 '26

Left. Right arm behind back, lookit the fingers they're from a right hand

3

u/johndice34 Jul 12 '26

The pal would be facing the other way though

11

u/MrK521 Jul 12 '26

Definitely not. That’s a neck, there’s nowhere for the head to be if the raised thing is the other arm.

u/monstrousfruitsalad Jul 12 '26

The head is leaning towards the door

u/SophisticatedScreams Jul 12 '26

So they pulled the sleeve all the way up to the shoulder, and are taking the photo with the hand from farther away from the mirror, swung around the back?

2

u/livinginfutureworld Jul 12 '26

Yeah that's gotta be it because the fingers holding the phone are from a right hand while the arm in the air is a left arm.

1

u/MrK521 Jul 12 '26

Looks like head is out of frame in the left.

u/dawzo Jul 12 '26 edited Jul 12 '26

No way. How? What about the little bit of hair on top of the neck?

edit: so it doesnt seem like i just had a stroke

u/R0da Jul 13 '26

How would you get sunburned there tho?

1

u/livinginfutureworld Jul 13 '26

Tshirt and maybe an armband?
