WTF Are People Saying
MichaelDK on Twice the Turtle Trouble ScottyD on The King Of The Hood mvdejong on Scary Scarecrows darkwr4ith on Vegetarians’ Worst … kcidreggin on Even The Dog Is Confused
that hurt my eyes! 2 were spinning one way the other was doing the opposite. my brain hurts…
no, they all spin to the right, i know how to use mah eyez
They’re spinning to the right, obviously. I don’t get this one D:<
When you look at the left one they rotate clockwise, then when you look at the right one they go anti-clockwise.
look at her bottom foot on the right one, they all spinnih same way
Y U No spin in the same direction?!?!?!
Stare at the one in the middle and they all go the same direction.
You can also make them switch while staring at the middle one at any time if you force yourself to think of it reversed. I found it easiest while focusing on the legs.
I was never able to do that
My best tip to you would be to observe the motion of the foot. Depending on which way you look at it (as if it’s ‘from above’ or ‘from below’ – clockwise or counter-clockwise) you can easily switch between the two.
Yeah if you think to yourself “going to the left” or “going to the right” as the out stretched leg cross over or behind the straight up and down leg you can change its direction since that point is direction neutral mostly.
Must admit the red and blue lines definitely make it easier, I guess if you mentally superimpose them onto the center image its no different than saying “now its going left, now its going right”… hmmm wait I guess thats what this gif is explaining. Kinda ruins the mystique of this particular illusion.
Opps…
The red and blue (and white) lines make it a subconscious process by giving the 2d image a 3d context. The brain determines a lot of the things you see based off of context in the image.
A common example is a chess board with a piece casting a shadow. It’s setup such that a white square in the shadow is exactly the same color as a dark square that isn’t shaded. However, you will see them as light and dark squares because your mind is filling in the image with context of its surroundings.
Similarly there is a blind spot in your eye that your mind will fill with whatever is around it, such as text.

I couldn’t find it in my quick search but there’s another one that fills the blind spot with text, which I think is much more fascinating.
Isn’t the red and blue redundant though? I mean, just the white lines is enough to force you to see ‘which way’ it’s spinning.
This one’s pretty good though – I’ve seen it without the ones on the sides (just the black one), took me a while to be able to switch between seeing the different directions on demand.
Easier way would be quickly looking from one side to the middle few times and the one on the middle should change directions.
re-re-re-repost
What kind of sorcery is this?!
The right answer is none.
None ≠ both
I dont see her spinning either. I see her turning back and forth.
This is not that far off from what I used to see when I looked at the adds with this illusion.. I used to think they animated it so that it switched back and forth between directions from time to time..
Not sure what it that means for my brain or your brain, but I’m more concerned for the people who see one or the other as “correct”
She is spinning the same way as the one on the right.
Shift your eyes back and forth then see what happens.
It depends on which of the other ones I look at.
Why not both?
In the original the arms should have been the same. Even without colors this is easy.
I’d do her!
She’s not spinning. She’s moving back and forth. Left to right, Right to left, Etc.
look at the foot on the ground it always spins in the same direction
she goes both ways
I feel a bit sick.
First two clockwise. Thrid counterclockwise.
I think its fair to say, she goes both ways…
They are all spinning the same direction, just not at the same time.
look at the lower foot. it is spinning like the one on the left. spinning the other way would flex the ankle funny.
You do realise they just got the same template for each one and made the lines superimpose differently? It’s impossible to tell which way she is spinning because there’s no depth perception
You do realize that’s a Gif which means it is spinning in a definitive direction?
Fun fact, if the lines start to trick you just watch the shadow of her pivot foot. It always spins the “correct” direction
SEEL?
I looked at them they spun right
Sneezed
Then they spun left
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!1!?!//!1
Dat ass.
SPIN ALL THE WAYS!
When the hands pass in front of the body, they disappear, removing one cue.
Aside from that, this is a picture where looking at the details gives you a model with contradicts the one you get looking at the overall image. The detail of the colours (blue and green) on the left is reversed on the right.
Looking at the colour detail on the left gives you a model (clockwise spinning) which is compatible with one of the two possible overall models of the other two figures. And vice versa. If you could look at the colours of both figures simultaneously, there’d be spinning in opposite directions.
Lol u have all been trolled.
If you look closely, in each picture, when the red and blue lines cross, one of the lines is cut a bit. Your brain notices this without you noticing, thus is looks like the picture is turing one way, while the other picture is moving the other way.
Look at the legs, there you’ll notice the best.
to find the reasonable explanation to this, just google “meatspin”…
Left to right: Clockwise, Bothwise, Counter-clockwise
True story
stare at the middle one long enough, she’ll reverse directions. Takes almost a minute for me, I guess I have a stubborn brain. The side ones are just to demonstrate each possible interpretation. The middle one is the only one that will reverse.
The Viewer is trying to rationalize three dimensional object through a two dimensional medium. Whichever way you see the object spinning or turning is just how your brain interprets it. There is no correct answer.
its counteclockwise……
If you watch the left 2 you can see that they sync for a few turns then the right 2 sync. If I had to guess I’d say they tweaked the head of the middle one at a specific point to make it sync with the one on the right and then when the gif hits the end of the cycle and starts over again it syncs back with the one on the left.
You got the first half right, but the picture isn’t tweaked. Middle one nearly moves “Both” ways, because of lack of depth and some kind of weird magic (picture manipulation/animation). Now, just to be a anti-joke chicken, the one on the right is doing some impossible movements. Look at the feet, they point in each their direction at some point. Whilst the left one is doing some natural clockwise pivots.
That was all.

its all a perception thing, the blue and red lines are just to help you switch the perspective, and no the bottom foot isn’t impossible but sometimes it takes a second for the blue/red line to affect your perception and you still see it spinning in the outer direction. the lines are not part of the original illusion(duh) but they all spin in perfect unison.
o wait i forgot to mention since its all perception and a silhouette there is no real spinning, many silhouettes do this.(added bonus)
So, what’s the trick here? Simple:
1) We live in a 3D world
2) The animation is however a series of 2D images
3) Our brain THINKS that what you see is the projection of a turning 3D lady spinning around an axis, and thus creates a mental picture based on that
4) What the animation actually consists of is a lady being “inverted” back and forth.
5) Therefore, both a clockwise and a counterclockwise rotation seem to be compatible with the resulting 2D projection.
They all spin clockwise >:|
MY BRAIN IS FULL OF MAGNETON
Woah, if you cross your eyes to combine the outside two like a stereograph it looks super trippy.
dang, you’re right. I over-focus and get 5 of them. The middle one glows and bounces from side to side.
Most impressive!
She’s spinning to the right, no to the left, no to the right… fffffffffffuuuuuuuuu!
Yes, spins clockwise. Open in photoshop or any other animated gif editor and see for yourself.
they all spin both ways at the same time
you can’t explain that! (T_T)
Was I the only one to look at it as an autostereogram?
The trick is that the straight food does not rotate. It just oscillates from left to right, which allows the figure to appear to spin in either direction.
/mystery
this gif makes me nervous
Trick:
Cover the picture so that only the rotating foot of each rotating figure shows.
Er, clockwise. I’m going to go with that.
[/Wheatley]
All three are identicle in every way. Anyone who says otherwise are kidding themselves.
take screenshots and compare them frame by frame if you have to; They are identicle.
It’s a simple illusion based on removing all cues about depth.
They’re all spinning clockwise.
I’ve seen that animated optical illusion before, and I could only see her turning clockwise, until I saw this gif with lines pointing out the legs.
I can see that she’s spinning aroung both ways, but the give away is her foot’s shadow on the ground. If you look closely, then you’ll realise that the one on the right, is the correct answer.
grrrrr, i hate this damn thing, lol
RIGHT RIGHT LEFT! Dammit, it’s a cheat code, or a Mortal Kombat move.
if you onlyi look at the feet they always spin the same, it’s only when you look at the boobs that you get confused. Just like real women.
The Schroedinger’s Spinning Girl is spinning both clockwise and anti-clockwise.

You know what, if you focus on the head you can see that the right one goes the opposite direction to the middle and the left, and after a little while the middle one switches and goes the same as the right…
As I see it, the image is spinning clockwise until the foot reaches the farthest out then it turns counter-clockwise, and repeat. It doesn’t fully spin around, the way I see it, since if you watch the foot and the shadow of that foot, it always appears that it’s facing away from you when it is between the turns.
Your mind tells you that it is spinning, when in reality it’s just turning from one side to the other.
At least that’s how I see it.
the only reason it looks like they are spinning diffently is because the white lines, which is the only thing that gives the left/right images depth, are transposed, but what really confuses your brain is that when the right’s eyes are visible the left one’s are not, telling your brain that that one is currently facing away from you, if you ignore the white lines they will all appear to spin the same way. im sure that the up and down movement has something to do with why you can make it change direction just by thinking it

HAXORZ! THEY’RE HAXORZ!!!!!!
Impossibru !!
If I concentrate hard enough on the middle one I can make it seem like she’s swinging her leg back and forth instead of spinning.
Shes not Spinning at all….
