If that is ironic, then you misusing the term ironic is ironic. (It is not.)
This illusion works because the squares are offset at a slight angle, while your brain expects the corners to line up according to their general direction. This, along with the alternating colours facilitate the squares appearing to jump across their bounds.
Looking at it out of focus makes it harder to see the corners of each square, so that their offset is less disorienting.
It’s ironic because one expects visual things to become less obvious when your eye aren’t focused. The fact that image becomes easier to decode with poorer vision is Ironic, regardless of your fancy science.
*sits in the corner rocking* those are not sprials, those are circles, those are not spirals, those are circles *looks* Those are spirals not…spirals. Arrrrgh
To risk sounding like the anti-joke chicken, the circles are not perfectly round as you use angled shapes to make them. The correct statement would be that the shapes form four circular images with equidistant space between them.
Funny, I had bad sight in my left eye, if I close my left eye I see the illusion, if I close my right eye I see the circles … only good thing about bad sight I guess
Derp.
Do i have to be drunk to understand this? Brain hurts, going back to read more text-fails. And girlfriend troubles.
Will come back to optical illusions later.
…… *sobs*
POOR BLIND FOOLS!
Only one eyed people can see throw this illusion.
I can see it with one eye closed all the way across the room.
Unless I cover up half of it. Then it’s just four circles comprised of squares.
Lies! D:< I closed one of my eyes and it didn't change
yeah but you can’t spell the word ”through”.
*4 steps away from the computer* Ha ha! My mind isn’t crying now!
No way.
Looks like squares to me.
I was listening to Hypnotize by System of A Down when I saw this… That was the most glorious three minutes of my life…
Try Schism by Tool O_o
^^ After that, try with Lateralus by Tool… Spiral out!
You are what you listen to…
Im a kickass intelligent group? THANK YOU!
Then listen to Shed by Meshuggah.
WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?
If you squint real hard, you can just about make out the circles.
If you blur your vision, it gets you can see it more clearly. Ironic…
*sigh* This is why it’s best don’t change your sentence half way through.
Have you ever felt it that truly is bane cows strawberries Monday KFC parabola like you felt Joey?
Word Salad is a symptom of schizophrenia. You might want to get that checked out.
My guess is that it’s a symptom of blurring your vision to be able to see the four circles clearly.
Our (Scumbag) Brain seems to complete the borders of the rectangles to lines. We “see” these lines crossing the circles, creating an illusion.
By blurring our vision, we just see dark objects, no rectangles.
No more Lines, no illusions.
I would, but the voices are telling me to stay home and clean the guns.
^ This.
Correct horse battery staple.
I just saw that today <3
That’s a battery staple.
-*CORRECT!*
LOL… beat me to it.

How many people had to follow the circles around with their finger to make sense of this?
If you hold your finger on an edge of the innermost circle the remaining circles shall cease to F. w/ your brain.
Welp, that wasn’t that mind boggling. I saw the circles immediately.
*sits in the corner rocking* those are not sprials, those are circles, those are not spirals, those are circles *looks* Those are spirals not…spirals. Arrrrgh

This must be Step 1 of getting a good Derp picture. 6.9
This is wrinkling my brain…
Haha got you, you sneaky f**ker. All you do is close one eye to prevent your brain from interpreting the depth/position wrong. Problem?
Do you have your computer in the living room where everyone can use it? Set THIS as the background… Nobody will touch it.
I counted four circles.
*wins*
No one believes a man named trolololololololol.
His Name is Edward Krill.
trolololololololol
HAHAHA
Funny, I had bad sight in my left eye, if I close my left eye I see the illusion, if I close my right eye I see the circles … only good thing about bad sight I guess
Bad vision is also good for hiding the ugly in the world.
true,
Well, now I know what happen when u try to draw something using circular reasoning
xp
4 separate circles made of squares, I had to use my hands to see what you did there . . .
BTW rule 34
actually 152 boxes…
Actually 153…
It maked me horny. So i masturbated. It was good
AND… if you scroll up and down fast while staring at the thing, the circles spiiiiiiin…
MS PAINT TO THE RESCUE!

…Thank me later.
thank you.
Sweet mother of god..That bacon was AWESOME!!!
There….are….four….lights!
But you saw five didn’t you =)
I feel dizzy just looking at it 3 seconds.
If you close one eye, and squint with the other one, you can see the circles perfectly!!!
close one eye, and sqwint with the other
after a while my brain figured out the trick… now I just see the circles, made of the slightly slanted squares.
MY BRAIN IS SUPERIOR!
Frodo is still trying to destory it!
Perfect circles are impossible.
THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE!!!
Nope. still doesn’t fry my brains as much as the picture.
Absolutly perfect
Derp.

Will come back to optical illusions later.
is it normal…if i can see each individual circle…?
Get out of my head, Charles!
