Neck or Back? This Photo has Internet Users Scratching Their Heads
People are trying to decide whether this picture shows someone’s ‘back’ or ‘neck’.
Every now and then, some optical illusion or the other takes over the internet, and everyone loses it.
It was ‘The Dress’ in 2015, which took the social media by a storm. The debate over whether the thing is black-blue or white-gold lasted for longest time.
Then, it was the confusion over ‘Yanny or Laurel’. And now, we’re trying to decide whether this picture shows someone’s ‘back’ or ‘neck’.
The baffling photo was shared on Twitter by rapper MartyMula (@LilMaarty) earlier this week, and ever since, people have been divided over what they see in the picture.
The photo shows a frizzy mane from behind, and people are confused whether its covering the nape of someone’s neck, or their back. The rapper captioned the picture saying, “Why tf I thought this was her neck”.
With over 32,000 retweets and over 70,000 likes, it’s safe to say the picture is viral.
Here’s what social media users had to say:
It made an user question his intelligence.
Popular opinion was that it’s the girl’s back.
It also gave rise to more pressing questions!
Wait, what?
The Bafflement is Real
The picture’s owner has also come forward to claim it on Twitter.
So, what do you think? Neck or back?
