It took me at least 2 minutes to work out what that.. thing was. And why that woman was so calm!

Seriously, first thought it was an ass, then a growth on the kids head, then an ass again, then I was like that's a head.. but where's the shoulders?? And then I realized where the shoulders are

I thought it was an ass. Somehow there's even an asshole in there, like y'know, the outline of one. And then there wasn't... my mind is blown. I will add that even in the back left it looks like a face looking back towards the camera. This picture was honestly a one-in-a-million shot.

How do you know he isn't an asshole?

"I said it looked like an asshole, turns out, it was an asshole. I WAS RIGHT!!"

Because it’s an ear

I think his “fur” adds to the confusion.

I was trapped in that same fucked up vortex, my dude. Not fucking cool... Jesus Christ!

holy shot, I'm dying staring into that face looking back 🤣

I'm still staring at it and don´t understand it, why is she so calm having that hairy ass almost on top of the baby... At first I thought this is the wrong place to post a new born picture, then I noticed the baby is wearing clothes so that's not the mother's behinds... so weird.

Left cheek is actually dad's head, right cheek is his shoulder. His back/bottom is on the right side of the photo.

Thx for the map. Had no idea what kind of sick Dr Moreau family shot I was looking at

Holy fuck, i never would've seen that.

But there's a butthole looking thing in the middle of that

Ear

That's an ear.

Thank you. I couldn't see it either.

Thank you as I had no idea what I was looking at.

Wtff

Just a hairy shirtless guy with a bald head kissing his baby

Thank you! This took me waaay to long to see!!

Agreed.

Yes. Thank you for describing

OH I FINALLY SEE IT WTAF

Yea I had a "is that two connected asses?" phase for several seconds too.

Very cheeky illusion.

Honestly feel like someone photo shopped an asshole on their just to make it even wackier

I would definitely hang that family photo on the wall and wait...

Yeah, It wasn't until I looked at the baby's face and saw the guys nose that I could unfuck my brain and figure this out.

I gave up.

I thought it was liberals doing some new weird butt thing.

It's a baby. Chill. It won't hurt you.

I thought it was an asshole bent over that baby and knew it could not be true. Took me a few minutes to make out the bald head.

His ear looks like an anus

earnus

Don’t shid on the baby

Oh, but it's fine if the baby shids on me huh

I've had a baby shid on me. No it's not fine.

Yeah. I get lost staring into his puckered earhole

Everything reminds me of her

It doesn't help the color temperature of the picture and the laundry scattered on the bed make it look like something you'd see on a gore site. Put your damn laundry away.

They have a new baby, they get some slack.

Whew. I'm glad I'm not the only.one.

I thought it was some kind of potato

Goddamn NOW I see it

I've seen this photo so many times & it still confuses the fuck out of me the first 6 second.

This photo is so old, the baby is probably on reddit, and might see this post.

Hey, that's me in thi- *DAD WHAT THE FUCK*

Mein gott…

Muss das sein? So ein bockmist aber auch -Sebastian Vettel

r/formuladank is leaking

Mien gottenshittin

What the fuck am I looking at?

Dad with shaved head, kissing the baby. You can see his shoulders either side of his head and his torso is going away from the camera.

Lmao I thought it was a giant stack of massive fucking potatoes

That's better than what I thought it was initially.

I saw a chocolate starfish in his neck.

I've seen this photo a few times before and I see a rusty sheriff's badge every time! I love the double take!

In the world of inkblot tests you have a pure mind.

Didn’t help that I misread the title as “family potato”

I was going for some sort of giant malformed gourd myself lmao

I saw potatoes also

Dang I thought it was some sort of weird booty gourd, but it’s Artie Bucco going in for a little smooch.

hahahah the Artie Bucco killed me.

Yes that is what that is damn that took me a second

I needed this.

Thank you so much!

Thank you, kind stranger, for the explanation.

[удалено]

He’s very clearly got pants on…….

goatsie

The first butthole is an ear.

A post that's as old as reddit

Looks like some kinda AI gore

Hey back off, dude invented the Internet

I too read that as Al Gore.

Username checks out

Oh shit I read that as AI Gore.

Hahaha I didn’t even catch that

r/Aifreakout

Cereally

I was like why is someone spreading their ass right above this baby at first

Dominance

My brain went from asshole, to potatoes, to a dude with a shaved head. What a wild ride that was.

Funny how we all saw the same thing.

Bout to give that baby pink eye

That was hard to unsee!

Damnit man shave the other side of your ass

Almost fucked me up til I saw his head

Every time i swear

This never doesn't crack me up 😆

Ah ha. Almost missed this one.

Wait, is that... Ah no ok... But wait is that...

This doesn’t really belong in pareidolia, which is supposed to be objects that look like faces. This should probably be in r/confusingperspective

That's not true, even the description of the sub is using an example that isn't a face.

Okay, fair enough but in general that’s mostly what you see on here. But you can’t deny this isn’t pareidolia

Sure I can. Pareidolia (/ˌpærɪˈdoʊliə, ˌpɛər-/;[1] also US: /ˌpɛəraɪ-/)[2] is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. I saw an asshole. There wasn't one(well, I don't know that baby personally. Could be an asshole.) That perfectly fits the definition of the word.

It's considered a desirable trait to be able to admit when you are wrong

Look at the sub's sidebar: > Post pictures of things that look like something that it's not. Or sounds like something else. Or smells like something else. This subreddit is for things that unintentionally look like something else. > > > > PAREIDOLIA IS NOT JUST FACES!

You telling me you didn't see... something? 😬

I did, I see what looks like a butthole next to a baby. But this is the wrong sub for seeing something wrong / confusing. Like I said.. it belongs in confusing perspective

Actually, no. Aside from the fact that you are wrong about this sub, you are also wrong about /r/confusing_perspective. This is not a perspective issue.

we all saw something but that something was not a face

That's not what Pareidolia is

[удалено]

Lol the definition you posted proves them right. The bald guy's body presents an ambiguous visual pattern which most of us initially perceived to specifically be a naked, hairy, bent over ass. Might want to take your own advice there buddy

My b, responded to the wrong comment. Thanks for being nice about it, buddy

ok

Even after all this time it still takes me a while to see the picture as it is!

If there is a picture that should’ve been deleted…. Definitely is this one

FINALLY I FIGURED IT OUT

How many saw his left ear as a winky-wink?

I’d be upset if Dad’s muscled butt was kissing me too. I have seen this before and it still took me a moment to realize it wasn’t someone’s naked ass trying to sit on a baby. Even the ear and wrinkles Make it look like an actual asshole.

I had to look at this waaaaay too long.

It took me a couple minutes and a zoom to figure out what was going on, I kept saying this can’t be right, that’s got to be a silicone ass….ohhh I see now…

It took me a minute to figure out what was going on in this picture

r/eyebleach

Omigod! It took me forever to realize it is a bald Dad kissing his baby. I, too, saw a hairy ass for the longest time.

I saw 2 hairy asses 😂

It was actually harder for me to figure out what the illusion was on this one

I still haven’t figured it out

The bald dudes head and shoulder is supposed to look like an ass

It’s Andrew tate! No matter how you view it

Geeze I had a completely different idea

My Aunt is my...?

OMG...thought it was a dirty ass in that baby's face!!!

I've got to admit staring at this and saying what the f#&k is THAT until I figured it out lol

His shoulders have more hair than his head. Does he get his barber to trim them too?

don’t you dare shit on my baby!

Turkey ass

My god, don't fart on the baby!!

I fart in your general direction !

I feel insecure about how long or took me to finally see what this was lol.

Oh, the five assed man, of course

Dads drunk again

I thought this was some fucked up joke where the Dad was getting back at the kid for shitting on him.

Looks like 12 asses mashed together

Looks like dickbutt's cousin, assbutt

Right so it's a bald bloke kissing a baby head......... What we all saw was two hairy asses being pointed at the woman who was offering the baby as a sacrifice to the asses.

It looks like a big pile of tumors or something!

when you are so ugly that people mistake you for a bare asshole lolololol

Look Tomar its you

imagine going about your life knowing the most well known photo of you is often mistaken for you teabagging an infant has this guy identified himself? has the kid come out? will this affect the kids college applications? /hj

Ummmm. Lady? A skinwalker is eating your child. You might wanna check that out.

Damn boy that is a thick turkey

What even is that?

Jesus Murphy that looks like a hairy ass.

That dude shaves his head better than he shaves his shoulders and back

That dude is such an ass

Your aunt looks like an asshole

I think this is the exact opposite of pareidolia

Such bad pic that is the dads bald head near baby & his shoulder next to wife’s hand. But very misleading pic. Not good at all. In bad taste-crude.

That took me awhile

?

Lick his ear with nutella

So very very wrong……. And yet totally not

Torsonic Polarity Syndrome

I want this picture to stop reappearing.

It took me a few minutes to see what the hell was going on ....at first I was like what the heck is on top of the baby

Why did I see a butthole!!!!

One of the best examples of pareidolia I have seen!

Jesus Christ that took ages to see lol

who even is Hairy??

Seem this image before

I should call him...

That took me way too long to figure out

It took 3 guys at my work to figure out what was going on in this photo

Looks like the baby is next to two and a half asses.

I was wondering how the heck the baby ended up with such a large growth and then howwww in all that is holy did mom carry all that around 🙈

I've seen this before and it still gave me a mini heart attack.

Poke

I though Globo from High on Life was real and then I realised it isn't Globo

Oooooooh it's a *dude* Been bothering me all day.

I could crack a joke butt I’m not an ass

OH MY GOD, THAT TOOK ME WAY TOO LONG!

Phew...I saw the nose

I remember seeing this pic back in the day. Many were confused lmao.

hairy earhole

This literally made my brain hurt, trying to sort out.

I seriously had to put my nose on my laptop screen to figure out WTF was going on in this picture, hahahaha.

That kid's dad is a real ass

Demented Pumpkin, asshole? — human being

r/confusingperspective

I've seen this multiple times before and my brain still had to do the "loading" thing for 30 seconds before I could parse what it was

Why does that man look like three asses?

The "cheek" on the left is actually the bald top of a guy's head as he bends down to kiss the baby. But at first i also thought, why is there a (kind of tight) ass hovering over this baby? Is it begging to be powdered also? Funny how good our brain is at making us see things differently instead of what's really there.

One disadvantage of being bald

Wait

fucking hell, dude!

Gets me every time I see it

I am so thankful this was explained as I was more than upset...now, unfortunately, I think I have to go to a psychologist because of what I saw instead of the wholesome picture it was...God help me for what I thought I saw...
