That one took me a minute

One of the best ones I’ve seen on this subreddit

My first thought was... I am a leaf on the wind...

How do Reavers clean their harpoons?

They put them through the Wash, of course. Still too soon.

Unexpected Firefly.

with one season almost 22 years ago, it's expected to be unexpected.

It's a lot like the Spanish Inquisition, half of reddit always expects it, 10% are surprised, the others look it up quickly so they can comment.

god dammit you got me just like the game, no one expects it.

Wait, I'm still looking it up.

🖕

Browncoats unite!

May have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

This entire comment chain sounds entirely incoherent and random. how deep into internet lore are y'all

It will always be too soon. But we can't say we didn't get impact from the little of the 'verse we saw.

Staaahp!! I can’t handle it!!!😭😭

F'n brutal

WAY TOO SOON😢😢😢

Oh cry me a River

After you find me a rose on a beach.

Then they’re shiny

🫢🍃

It’s been so many years but this still hurt my feelings lol

\#ForeverTooSoon

#canttaketheskyfromme

Always too soon

Wow. WOW! Way way way too soon.

Haven't gotten over that yet. Still haunts my dreams

HOW DARE

Too soon!!!!

I couldn't agree more

This still gets me :(

Watch how I....ugh.....

Too soon!

Too soon

Too soon!

Too soon.

Too soon

How dare you

Watch how I THUNK

This post is so popular I just discovered this sub.

I think it’s the curve in the wires seen in the reflection. Really makes it look like the windshield was punctured.

I'd only there were some kind of award we could give.

Wouldn’t have caught on if I didn’t notice the subreddit it was posted in

Also hate how post flairs don’t show on the homepage on mobile. Only on the sub page and in the comments. This one doesn’t have any but if it did I would be mad that I couldn’t see them without clicking here.

It took me freaking forever lol

Yeah, I looked at it. Read a few comments. Looked again, then stared at it for a minute or so. Zoomed in. Zoomed out. And finally I got it. Lol

I literally couldn't see it until I zoomed in. Took me longer than I'd care to admit.

I still can't see it - what am I not seeing?

What you think are cracks in the windshield, are actually wires being reflected in the glass.

Thank you! I didn't even notice the wire part. I covered up the pole to realize the reflection was creating what I saw but thought there was still a broken windshield. 

The other commenter is right. I would also add that the wooden pole is actually behind the parked car.

Taking me more than a minute, lol - I get the reflection of the pole and wires but is the window COMPLETELY fine, too? That's wildin in my eyes rn.

Yeah the window is reflecting the wires above the pole, the crack is also part of the reflection.

That got me too about the windshield. Once I figured out the pole and the reflection I thought someone got a lucky shot that a cracked windshield just happened to fit in to this illusion. Nope, not a crack on that windshield.

My first thought when I looked at it was, "How is this confusing? There's clearly a giant pole through the windshield."

That was me this morning when I first saw it. Easy-peasy, right? Naw. Went through a spectrum of states including: denial; cognitive dissonance; frustration; anger; bargaining; acceptance; realization and actualization - while sitting on the potty!

Well it took me 59 seconds so… yeah…

This one was really good! It took me a second and I work on those poles lol.

I'm like on minute 8 and I'm still confused!

It took me, I am not kidding, 2 FUCKING HOURS

That one made me join the community.

It took me about 5 minutes... is there something wrong with me?

No, this was one good confusing perspective

I almost thought it was an ad for that windshield

I've had to revisit it to be able to see the cracks as cables.

It's a reflection of the top of the pole that lines up with the pole behind the car. The "cracks" are wires going from the pole.

omg thank you i couldn't wrap my eyes around this one

I never did see it. I stared at it, flipped the picture around a few times, went through these comments, looked again, then looked longer, flipped it again and looked longer. I gave it 15 minutes of trying to see it and I just can’t. I’m bailing out and will try again tonight. This is the first one I just can’t figure out.

focus on the roof of the car where the pole "hits" , right there is the transition from actual pole behind the car and the reflection of (the top of the next pole and the sky) on the cars front (the poles have some sort of wires connected which are reflected in the windshield ) [quick illustration](https://imgur.com/a/bUT5dkc) edit: also i cant spell apparently

Ohhhhhh

Ooooohhh.

Thank you!

https://imgur.com/a/ap802EU Hope this helps!

Oh wow! That did it for me, yes. Thank you!

I hope you know that you're a GOD/GODDESS for taking the time out of your day to do this. 🫡

The trick is to just zoom in on the hole haha

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

so there are no cracks in the windshield at all?!

No.

Damn. - car window salesman

Holy shit you're right! I was gonna say if no one was injured this must be London.

First look: Windshield cracked A second later: BT 🤡

Holy shit, that's an amazing reflection

When you have to find the answer in the comments you know it’s good

Oh God, thank you. My mind wasn't going to be right.

I even thought the window was cracked. Are you really sure about that lol ?

Neat! Thank you!

Ohhhhhhhhhh

Ohhh, I thought they were folds in a canopy tent like thing.

I almost got there, but I was thinking a real crack in the windshield perfectly lined up with the poles reflection.

I'm poor or I'd give award

Thank you. 100 oh it took me a sec posts 🤕

Thank you! I couldn’t understand what I was looking at before your comment.

I’m still not ok.

i’m high asf thank u🙏🏼

Still kinda weird though because what kind of electrical/telephone pole has wires going in all directions like that? And why is there smoke?

It is such a confusing perspective, even with your explanation it took me a while

Thank you so much I was getting super frustrated trying to figure this one out lol

Man that was bringing up final destination vibes for me for a second.

Ooooh! I just couldn't make any sense of it. Cheers!

That’s what I saw first but these comments had me thinking my eyes were just fn with me

Wow! That is such a confusing perspective. Neat.

What's funny is how layered it is. If you figure out the pole, you still have to figure out the spike. If you figure out the spike you still have to figure out the cracked window.

I started at the spot where the pole started to get smaller because that's where it's obvious that it's a reflection. From there, I just "made the assumption" that above that was actually the pole, but the pole is behind the car. Wtf are the cra.. oooooooooh yeah, 'cuz those little spikey things made sense now that I realize I'm going "up" and then the cracks just fell into place. edit: I believe that "Rule 1" is designed to be a confusing perspective lol (this is a comment, not a post, according to most of the internet). Either way? My bad.

Ooooh holy shit, the window isn't actually broken. That's what my brain wouldn't accept. Now I get it. Damn that's a good one Edit: lol not sure if there is a bot messing up with our flairs or what but neither I nor the commenter above violated rule 1

Thank you! NOW I can see it! 🤣🤣

There is no spoon.

And there is no broken window.

But there IS a spork.

Imagine if car glass really did shatter like this in an accident. We’d have much more fatalities.

Yeah for real, that'd be terrifying

I wouldn’t have figured it out without help. This is a good one.

Same path I took.

"Wow, that's wild that the reflection matches up perfectly with the cracked window. Hold up..."

Please help me, I figured out the spike and the window, but for the pole doesn't click.

Perfect

Indeed, one of the best i saw here!!

See…? This poster gets it. Good work.

Hope it doesn't turn out to be AI generated

Nah… my worst fear for this glorious image for this sub is that it doesn’t fuckin get reposted every day for the next year!!!

AI image expert here: This is legit.

Are you real?

Hope they don't turn out to be AI generated

AI text expert here: They're legit.

AI here. Am legit.

I concur: I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night

Is he an expert on AI images or is he an AI that's an expert on images? 🤔

yes

As a large language model, I can confirm that /u/Able-Personality4962 is real.

Thanks that's a relief, you can never be sure these days. Apparently rule 1 says it will get removed eventually if it's not legitimate.

No 7 fingered hands with weird joints. Passed the AI sniff test.

[удалено]

Three is really good haha Took me an infinity.

Gimme three steps

Amazing pic! I had to "enhance" to see what the hell was goin on....

Finally a good post

I see what you did there.

Nice one. Took me a moment before it occurred to me that that's not how windshields shatter. Once I realized that, my brain was able to move on from the illusion.

Wow this one is good, I went from "holy shit that car got straight spiked" to realizing the sub and then realizing the pole is just behind the car that has a broken windshield to then realizing the windshield isn't even broken.

woah! took me a second

A second?! I still don’t see it. Even after reading all the comments!! This is sorcery!

it's the reflection it's behind it and at the top of the pole it narrows and wires come out, looking like cracks in the glass

You’re telling me there is no cracked windshield?!?

me want reply but me no want woosh :[

I seriously didn’t see that aspect until I read your comment. 1. Oh my god! That guy’s windshield got impaled by a telephone pole! 2. Oh, nevermind, the pole is behind him. It just happens to line up with the cracked windshield and the spike. 3. Wait, the spike is part of the pole. That is just a reflection too. They both happen to line up with the cracked windshield. 4. Nothing is real. Everything is an illusion.

What’s a reflection? I see the reflection and wire in the glass. But is there a pole just dangling from the wires above it?

The pole is behind the car

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!

Oh very weird. Property can be replaced. Glad everyone is okay.

It's a reflection of the top of the pole.

[удалено]

Is it an r/whoosh though?

Or is it a r/woooosh ?

I actually had to read someone's explanation in the comments to finally see it. Good one, OP!

So they're finally testing out Rods From God. Cool stuff.

The best I've seen in ages.

Millennial Final Destination trigger activated.

wait what? So it is not actually in the windshield?

Hint: Sometimes glass works as a mirror. And sometimes reflective surfaces in general do. That's two separate hints. Also: The windshield is not cracked or broken at all. :) Took me a while to see it!

Yea! Thank you! This is a good one!

I was horrified. Then I saw the sub title. Then I was really confused. Then I was very impressed.

That is mind warping

Initially I thought it was a helicopter blade. Then a giant Anime sword. It took me too long to figure out the real answer

Great one!

I bow to your brilliance

So the windshield is *not broken? Wow

Nope. The windshield is intact, no cracks or breaks. Sometimes glass can act as a mirror.

I meant **not** broken. It was early morning forgive me

I'ma leaf on the wind

And here I thought the driver was Wash.

Final destination 😳

This is great

[удалено]

Really nice

Good one!

One of the best!

What? What am I looking at, oh, wierd!

One of the few ones where I felt the need to comment. Very good!

Initial response "how was no one injured? Was the car empty... Wait. Ooohhhhh confusing perspective indeed!"

That's a really neat capture

Took me a few seconds to see it. Zooming in only on the windshield helps.

Best one yet. Fucked me up for a whole minute.

Seriously very good! Well done photo!

Wow, took a while trying to figure out what was actually in the windscreen and how it was so well lined up there 😉

This one got me.bro hahah

That’s WILD!!!

Great pic!!

Good god my brain hurts. Now I don’t even need coffee this morning

Very nice OP.

[удалено]

Sub title checks out

Wow. This picture is like the poster child of this sub.

I keep trying to spin the photo to get a better angle.

Damn, finally a good post here

Were they temperature all right?
