This eye-opening optical illusion really is 20 seconds well spent

Poke Staff. Updated September 16th, 2022

If you’ve not tried this before then you are in for a treat and if you have then you’ll know it’s so good you’ll want to do it again.

Fighting talk we know, but it really is 20 seconds well spent, this Van Gogh painting which takes on a whole new dimension if you do this.

The best way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting.

Ooooh! Get that.

It's like being on mushrooms, but without the annoying roommates.

This blows my mind and I cannot explain what causes this, although I haven’t looked at the comments to see if somebody has posted an explanation. Who needs mind-altering substances when you can look at this?

Wow! Worked.
Proof that we see with our brains, not our eyes. They are only the instrument.

Effective! But the *best* way is to stand in front of the real thing. pic.twitter.com/fMgiJnq5cM
