The image – titled “This hurts my brain” – had had more than two million views since it was posted on Reddit in 2016.
And people were left wondering if what they were seeing was even possible.
Some said the woman appears to be lifting the man off the ground – but her legs are in front of her partner while her torso is behind.
“I need an adult to help me here,” one Reddit user wrote in the comments.
Another said: “I don’t like this… it’s messing with me too much.”
The answer, it turns out, lies in the man’s two-tone shorts.
One Reddit sleuth revealed: “His shorts are two colors. White in the middle, black on the outside. I’m fun at parties, please invite me.”
Another said: “OK this makes sense. The guy is wearing shorts that are black and white.
“The girl is wearing a black dress, which gives the illusion that the black part of the shorts goes higher than the white part, but it’s just her dress making it look that way.”
Last week another mind-bending optical illusion convinced people they were seeing a red box that was not there at all.
Another image that gives the appearance of a moving ripple could leave you seasick.
And people say these eight TikTok illusions are “impossible”.
