Optical illusion with lines and black boxes has everyone seeing the wrong thing If you’ve ever been caught staring at an optical illusion for way too long, wondering what on earth is going on, you're not alone.
Your mind is constantly processing visual information, but when something looks off – like the sloping lines in this puzzle – your brain has to go into overdrive to figure it out.
At first glance, the image looks straightforward enough: horizontal lines running across the screen, with black and white blocks interspersed between them.
For most people, this illusion is causing confusion – some are convinced the lines are tilting, while others swear they can see a subtle curve in the design.
The question is, are the horizontal lines actually sloping, or is there something deeper at play here?
