It all looked like pills to me until I read the text. Couldn’t even see plates for a while.
Anyway, I noticed that the top right rectangular one doesn’t match the perspective when seen as face down. All the other ones are round, so they don’t insinuate a perspective at all. That’s why that plate is the key.

Me neither. They were all face up from the get go for me.
TulipanJones@kbin.social 11 months ago
They all started as face up to me as well. The one that stood out to me though was the rectangular plate in the top right. That plate looked face down to me which then triggered all the plates to look face down.

I have tried some of the “tricks” in the comments and none work for me. Try as I might, I can only see them as face up and nothing else. It doesn’t make sense to me that they could ever appear face down because the lighting wouldn’t make sense.

I got to see them upside down for a moment and it does not look correct. They are actually face up in the picture but it is possible to trick yourself into seeing them as upside down but they don’t look like they would if they really were

I can back and now I can.

They’re all face-up with the lighting from the right.
Johanno@feddit.de 11 months ago
It almost worked. I first saw medicine pills and then plates
Daerun@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Hypothesis: they are really all face up, but if you read about them being face down before paying attention to the picture your brain turns them face down until one of them triggers the correct position.
Kase@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My brain must be stupid cuz I looked at the picture first and they looked face down :/
Daerun@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No, it’s just that there is no reference, so it is perfectly possible to see them facing down in the first place before reading.

All I see is a pile of various allergy pills
MightyGalhupo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They were always face up?
Crackhappy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Finally! This is the first time this illusion worked for me.

I don’t even understand what i am looking at
FinalRemix@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s a badly JPG’d picture of segmented dishes, but the description says they’re face down… which is wrong, given the way the light hits them. This is just a bad post.

I can flip them back and forth at will, I think I finally found my super power!
UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I can’t see any of them as face up.

I think it’s the shadow cast onto the largest round plate by the lower divided round plate
Without that shadow, the plates could be face-down and illuminated from the left, but the shadow would only exist if the light source is on the right, so it snaps everything to conform to that
milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 11 months ago
For me it was a bottom small one that snapped them to right-way-up. With practice and effort I can flip them upside down again, and confirm that I don’t struggle seeing the big one as upside down, but still struggle with some of the bottom ones.

Pass out and start a new life
De_Narm@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The top right one works for me, once you manage to see any of them as face down, they all flip again.
bronzle@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Same, easiest way to flip for me is the notion right of the middle (circular) flips them up, top right flips them down

Load your last save.
paddirn@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Find the one that’s face down.
Daerun@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Stare at the squared one at the bottom right and thing about it as face down. Then you can move to the others and see them face down, but you may need several tries.
stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That was lazy brain mode, can only do it by becoming lazy brain mode again but you’re thinking about this so now it’s in your subconscious too.
YOU JUST GOT RANCHED UP BROTHER KOWABUNGA

Close your eyes and look away and look back. It worked for me just now
