Poll: STARE at this.

[Tortilla the Hun]

This was pretty awesome, it took me a few tries because I kept blinking and I think I was too far away from the screen.

In other news, I can feel the cancer in my eyeballs!!

 

[MammothBlade]

I see a ponyta, a yellow-orange penis, and mushrooms.... it didn't disappear to me, just became more blurry.

 

[Yoshemo]

I love playing with that effect in my room. I've made my ceiling fan disappear!

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Heh, optical illusions can be pretty fun...don't really have anything else to add.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

That is so awesome. The human mind is a wonderfully complex and mysterious machine.

 

[Jaso11111]

Ahhh small science. Its my favorite kind of science.

I know this from when I could make a dimly lit room go completely dark by just not focusing.

You sure that this isn't called "sleeping"??
Sorry just kidding.

Yes, there are a lot of things out there and yes they are older than the internet. Oh and go count the black dots...

I painted a car like that in Forza 2. People used to crash all the time because of it!

Christ, Forza 2 must offer you a lot of freedom when it comes to painting your cars.

 

[game-lover]

Ha! I enjoy these!

The image vanished. And so did the one on Wiki for me. I first saw it on a Cracked article.

And I also like that one with the picture of the road. If you stare properly, the color lightens up pretty like as light brown and some pink and green. Then it goes back to the white picture once you look away.

 

[Spectral Dragon]

I don't have any

Spoiler: Except...

Though I do know how to fix hiccups! That's kinda cool, isn't it?!
...
No?
I'll be sitting over here if you need me...

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

It didn't disappear with me, instead it just started shaking violently, which freaked me out.

 

[White-Death]

Fan-Bloody tastic..
Be right back, making a stealth suit out of this pattern...

 

[Tiger Sora]

I think it interesting that for the 1st bit I was still moving my eyes looking for something. And I pictured... or well saw, a humanized Rarity. Ponies, on the brain. But eventually I just stared at the middle, and everything started to disappear, not entirely, but most of it.

Quite an interesting illusion.

 

[Rune342]

Nice trick. It took a bit, but it disappeared. If you move your eyes even a little it ruins it.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Gods help us if the Weeping Angels ever realize they could use this as camouflage. The longer you stare, the less capable of fending them off you'll be.

 

[PureChaos]

oh god it's bound to be a screamer, these things are so predictab WHERE'S THE PICTURE GONE?

 

[Spectral Dragon]

Though I do know how to fix hiccups!

Wait, how do you do that?! I've been getting hiccups all the time for the past 2 days!

There are several ways. Beyond holding your breath or a long, slow inhale, I have something that's never failed me.
Take a glass of water and start drinking. Swallow 5 times without breathing in between.

 

[Saulkar]

It did not disappear for me.
This on the other hand.

So... drink normally?

Not really. Five SEPARATE gulps. Like this: Mouthful, swallow until empty mouth, repeat 5 times.

I'm just waiting for someone to quote me out of context for all this "swallowing"...
