Like I can see what's supposed to be the old woman but its never been much of a trick unless you think old people look like Yubaba from spirited away.

[-] takeheart@lemmy.world 47 points 6 months ago

I don't think it works well here because the art styles don't match and the way the bar keeper is drawn looks nothing like the old woman.

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah it certainly doesn't help but even with the original I've always thought this.

I had to read your comment to understand what I was supposed to be looking at

It still took me forever so I found a guide

Thank you. I'm all the years I've never seen the old lady without this

Wait a minute, Dogs don't talk!

[-] moon@lemmy.ml 26 points 6 months ago

Can't see anything but a turned head, even with this guide

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 27 points 6 months ago
[-] moon@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

This actually helped!

Doing the Lord's work @brbposting@sh.itjust.works. Thank you!

This helps but I still don't see it in the original image

I only see a young woman's head turned and looking at the window

Edit: squinting makes me see it, I guess my mind doesn't register the old woman until I see less detail but I still don't see it in the original image op posted

I don't think the original image in this post has enough detail to create the illusion

Cover the left outer eyelash and imagine the word "Babushka"

[-] villainy@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Physically covering the left side with a finger and I can now see the old woman. Fucking finally. Thank you!

Maybe you're doing it wrong. Turn your phone upside down and hop on one leg.

[-] newbeni@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Thank you, geez, that took me forever.

[-] Jilanico@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Do you see a young woman or an old lady?

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Oh, I got them mixed up. I thought the guy on the left looked simultaneously 12 and middle-aged.

In my late teens I had a similar poster in my room with double meaning.

Warning, a bit NSFW

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

That's pretty cool! I love pictures like that. My grandfather, who was a really good artist, liked to draw faces for me that would change into a different face if you turned it upside-down. Sadly, I only have one left and it's only a xerox.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

I like that. Accurate in my teens and well beyond.

Older people tend to like getting ID'ed. Just go for it either way.

[-] Lizardking13@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

It's very subjective. My wife kinda hates it. She's a good looking woman, but she certainly doesn't look like she's 20. She often doesn't carry a wallet - so if she's ID'd it can actually be annoying.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

If she has a case on her phone could she put the id between case and back of the phone.

I teach an underwater photography class at a university. We were going to have a night dive one evening and a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to cancel, so we decided to go to a local pub that has great food.

There's a bouncer at the door, and he's checking all my student's IDs super close. He's bending them, shining a light through them, etc making absolutely sure nobody underage gets through.

I walk up behind my students with my ID out and he just nods and says "you're good man."

I never felt so old.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 5 points 6 months ago

My ID picture is still the same one I took in my early 20s (almost 40 now), and even when I do get carded, 75% of the time they make a comment about how my "picture is really old," "I look really young," etc, etc which is always a punch to the gut.

As a kid I could see both instantly but today it took me several minutes

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 6 months ago

The proportion of the bartender and the woman makes it as the young woman is the main one.

I only see a young woman looking away, none of these comments help...

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 39 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Perspective is wrong since we should be seeing the nose and mouth from the side (and only a little of one eye), but maybe this helps?

[-] Squirrelanna@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 6 months ago

It's perfect. I have no idea what this is supposed to help with but it's perfect.

The chin/jaw line of the young woman is the nose of the old woman, the ear is the eye, there is a horizontal line of the young woman's neck that is the mouth of the old woman.

At first I only saw the young woman too.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

So as the old woman, does she kind of look like a cartoon turtle?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

I don't necessarily see turtle but it's a more cartoonish depiction than the younger woman.

That only barely looks like a face of an older woman.

Is it one of those pictures where you flip it to see young girl turn into an elderly woman?

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Not flip but kind of. Other comments have already explained it if you haven't seen them yet

[-] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I couldnt recognize anything except for a human like blob wearing a fur coat.
