You have to respect the geniuses who come up with optical illusions. There's some heavy brain work behind them, and probably some serious computer programming as well, not to mention no small amount of artistry.
Sometimes, though, optical illusions just kind of...happen. Sometimes it's a dress that nobody can agree on the color of, and sometimes it's beach scene that could be a rusted out car. But there's nothing like some classic cloud-gazing to really get into some optical illusions.
We look for recognizable shapes and patterns in random things, whether they're actually there or not.
Like in the above pic, where it might seem like we're looking at a concert at night where the crowd is going wild, but it's really a field of cotton being harvested.
Which brings us to this pic of a cloud, posted on Reddit, that the uploader couldn't decide on — does it look more like a cat or a dog, they wondered?
The paws-out look is pretty clear, as are the pointy ears, but from there, it's pretty much up to your imagination whether the "face" is more cat-like or canine.
"It is interesting that people try to find meaningful patterns in things that are essentially random," one person wrote. "I have noticed that the images they perceive sometimes suggest what they are thinking about at that particular moment. Besides, it is clearly a bunny rabbit."
