How do i turn the plate face down again help

[–] pewpew@feddit.it 34 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Pass out and start a new life (/s)

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 3 points 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

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months ago

Load your last save.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Find the one that’s face down.

[–] Daerun@lemmy.world 3 points 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.

[–] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 77 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I can't see them as face down.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Shadow says its face up though. There should be a thicker bright line down the side if it was flipped over. The shadow should not have the same depth as all the other dishes.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sort of. This plate sticks out because in order to create a shadow and light this way when facing down it would have to be angled in a way that doesn't match with the others when also assuming that they're all placed on the same surface. It only looks right with the others when seen as face up. The trick here is that we normally assume light to come from the top when given no other clues, but this assumption doesn't match with our assumption of placement. The text also suggests the wrong way first.

If the picture had been presented upside down, it might have been difficult to even ee it any other way than the correct one.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 18 points 11 months ago

Me neither. They were all face up from the get go for me.

[–] TulipanJones@kbin.social 7 points 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.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I can back and now I can.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 44 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

Me too; almost made me jump when it worked so well!

[–] Tixanou@lemmy.world 44 points 11 months ago

All the plates are face up. Period.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They’re all face-up with the lighting from the right.

If I try to see them as face down they become distorted. The lighting is wrong.

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 18 points 11 months ago

It almost worked. I first saw medicine pills and then plates

[–] Daerun@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My brain must be stupid cuz I looked at the picture first and they looked face down :/

[–] Daerun@lemmy.world 1 points 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.

[–] MightyGalhupo@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

They were always face up?

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

All I see is a pile of various allergy pills

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Finally! This is the first time this illusion worked for me.

[–] pedestrian@links.hackliberty.org 4 points 11 months ago

No joke, same here. The middle was face down then I saw a cup and it all flipped

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't even understand what i am looking at

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 17 points 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.

[–] cedeho@feddit.de 10 points 11 months ago
[–] shrugal@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

I can flip them back and forth at will, I think I finally found my super power!

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

I can't see any of them as face up.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 2 points 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.

[–] angrymouse@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I think this is a reminder to not trust our mind in any way

[–] bucketofcandyfloss@thelemmy.club 5 points 11 months ago

My mind is blown
