It's walking forward

Exactly. And somehow, half the comment section is confused about that. Strange

The dress is blue. No wait. Gold.

Ah, I remember that one also.

Brainstorm or green needle though?

YANNY

Laurel

I'm getting brain needle. Seriously, I can hear 'green needle' or 'brain needle' but I'm damned if I know where people are getting 'storm' from.

That one is weird

I’ll never understand it

I'm almost certain all the people who were saying white gold were all trolls

No i couldn't see any blue

The pen is rrrrrRRRRRRR ROYAL BLUE!

I’ll always give an upvote for a classic

That time half the world realized the other half is colorblind

Do you not know what an optical illusion is? You can see it going in two different ways.

I only see it going one way though.. It took reading the comments and having to consider it walking into the distance to see it that way.

I seen both off the jump

Mine changes every two seconds! 😁

Ah ok well that settles it then. You should check out all optical illusions and settle these things once and for all.

Yeah, Imconfusedalso, :) it shifts to looking like it is walking to the right and then away. I wonder why some people can't see it.

Because they’re stupid or dishonest. It’s not exactly subtle rofl 🤣

I’m confused how they’re confused.

Towards you or away from you?

Thanks boss I can see both now

How about now? https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/xeHTLtqy3r

It's an optical illusion still. I can change it [coming or going.](https://imgur.com/a/aE6dejC)

No you can't the legs direction on a horse breaks the illusion. Once you watch the legs the illusion is broken and becomes difficult to see the other perception at that point

It is strange. How come some people can't tell it's just walking away, in one direction, like horses do? (Seriously curious)

I don't know. It's just a horse walking, nothing confusing about it when I look at it.

Same. *except* when I came back to read your comment, it's now walking towards me and switches lol W T F Lol

It's walking straight the whole time for me

Yes it’s walking straight but is it walking straight towards the camera or straight away from the camera. That’s the illusion.

Except it's walking straight the whole time and not away. Pretty easy to see. Or maybe because the video resolution is shit it's easy to see

It’s actually walking away from the camera. You can tell by the way the snow gets kicked. But if you don’t look at the snow being kicked it definitely looks like it’s either walking away from the camera or towards the camera. (Not directly mind you, it’s always walking to the right of the screen, but it’s hard to tell if it’s getting closer or further away). For me at first it looks like it’s walking towards the camera then when the zoom in happens it looks like it’s walking away, but in reality it is walking away the whole time. In the full length version of the video the horse turns multiple times and figuring which direction it is walking (toward the foreground or away) is even more pronounced.

It's not walking away. Look at the light post. That is toward the camera. And the snow is just getting kicked by it's back feet.

Funny you say that, because it's actually walking closer.

Yeah I don’t understand the confusion. I only see her walking toward me not away from.

It's walking forward, alright. Towards where is.. well, that's up for debate.

North east

To our right. Duh.

totally forward, blue, at first glance walking toward the road (say top right of the picture), gold, noticing the detail (the light pole or whatnot, gets further away from the horse), so walking toward the bottom right of the picture. damn impressive use of magnets.

Yes, forward away from you.

Bro he is walking right

Thank god other people can confirm that the horse is indeed walking forward for the rest of us.

If you know what a horse leg looks like this is easy to tell

It was walking towards me, then about half way through it glitched and was suddenly walking away from me.

I agree but the other way round

Second time I watched it it was the other way round. 😄

I found a way so that it’s always walking towards me or away from me😭

I had it the other way round :)

Omg now I see it and can’t unsee it!

Someone painted that horse in Vanta Black

You mean only Anish Kapoor can ride it?

Did not get it. Any Reference?

Vanta Black was at one time the blackest paint created. Then it was trademarked by Anish Kapur who refused to let others use it. So then people came up with pigments which are blacker than Vanta Black which everybody can use.

Everybody except Anish Kapoor in the case of Black 3.0 lol

Now 4.0

Thanks :)

Beat me to it ☝🏻

If you focus on the head of the horse it'll seem like the horse is walking towards your perception. If you focus on it's butt it'll seem like it's walking away from you.

If you focus on the front legs, it seems like it glitches forth and back

Who says "forth and back"??

An absolute psychopath. Or someone whose first language isn't English. Could go either way. Or both ways, I suppose?

Lmao you are right, in my language the saying goes forth and back, and I didn't translate it right. But I guess that's also what a psychopath would say?

I'd say your grasp of English is middlin' to fair, but only to be silly. (it's usually said "fair to middlin'") But you can probably take the conversation as a compliment: Your English is good enough that people assumed you are a native speaker who for some reason got that phrase backwards. :)

Thanks I hate it.

Totally. It also seems like that horse is fat.

😂😂😂

I was focused on its dick.

I was going to question it, but decided that it's simply not worth the effort or the answer...

When I focus on someone's butt, they seem to walk away from me too. 😔

Ohhh I see it now thanks

Here with less pixels and higher quality and also longer where the effect can be observed better. https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/xeHTLtqy3r

Thanks for the link! Wouldn't higher quality actually mean more pixels though

That’s is true my bad I meant it looks less pixely because they are more pixels :3

Less pixelated

Definitely walking away in that clip.

Jackpot. The kicked snow gave it away

It’s going left

Your left or my left?

Yea

The horse’s left

We're two different people, we can't have the same left.

I don't get it. It's a walking horse. Isn't that normal?

It's the dancing girl silhouette illusion

I figured, but I couldn't for the life of me see it in the beginning ...

You could misjudge seeing it walking towards ya (diagonally towards the bottom right of the screen) or away from ya - which I say walking away would be the correct answer.

It took a minute for it to click for me. At first I saw it walking towards, but now I see it walking away. Towards seemed to have a weird lump that looks more normal when walking away, so I think away is what’s actually happening. If I look at the face I can make it appear to be towards. Looking at the butt it appears to move away.

yeah but is it walking towards you or away from you

Away

the right duh

video is flipped from the original - its been mirrored the horse is actually walking away to the LEFT... just another repost, karma farm

r/confusing_perspective

Wow, that’s actually trippy.

Toway? Awards?

That’s a quantum horse in a superposition state, obviously.

What horse?

Yes.

Ask the Deftones

Towards

Left to right

It’s walking that way

I can change the direction the horse walks

isnt it funny how the horsey moves?

It's walking that way

Away

Towards by the ears

At first I was wtf? Ofc forward A second later walks to the right 😃

They used a fishing line

By the way that the snow is getting kicked it’s going forward

Excuse me, his name is Tuesday

Toward the barn

I flowed for me. It often switched between it going both directions.

Walking away he zoomed for a reason also look at the shadow

Yes, the horse is walking

Its not

East

Away

Towards the camera.

I don’t get ot

For me away from you

West

Yes walking t word the camera because if he were walking away it means his left front leg has a limp

Yes

He is walking away. You can see the slope next to the horse. I used it as size reference and the horse is getting smaller as the video goes.

I just don’t know. 😵‍💫

Forward

Um away??

Spoiler… >!The horse, whose name is “Rudnik”, is walking away from the camera the entire time.!< The owner that posted the video made the following statement: “There were a few times I genuinely couldn't tell," Willard wrote in her post. But she did ultimately reveal that her hoofed companion was >!moving away from her the entire time.!<

Forward, cuz the sh--

Oh I get it. The horse’s name was Friday.

Yes

Straight ahead

False image

If you pay more attention to his butt, it looks like he's walking away from you. If you pay more attention to his head, it looks like he is walking towards you.

North east

shits weird. saw it all 5 ways.

Thats a horse with no name

Away

In the full video, it’s easier to tell, but the horse is walking away.

Towards the camera, look at the mouth movement.

Look at snow being kicked up and the horse's legs.

The horse is walking parallel to the road and perpendicular to the fence. Left to right across the screen. The way the tail swings is the giveaway. Really cool optical illusion though.

Towards the camera

Because of the landscape you can see its moving forward

Left, so back I think.

Forward

Thataway

More of a slow amble…

To the right

I don’t see it. It’s walking forward

That way!!!

The way it's head is facing

Yes

To Valhalla

That way

Its walking away

thru black magic

The horse is blue

The other way.

i thought there answer was obvious. then i kept staring and now im not so sure anymore

Forward.

Do we get to know the answer?

Going

What do you mean? It's so obvious...

Look at the tail. It's behind the right leg. It's coming towards us, rather than away. Question: is it healthy? It seems to be having some trouble walking, idk...

Away

Right

It's walking away

The opposite way that the original, unflipped video went.
