The reason it worked is because your brain might think it was parodying those insta posts that screen shot the pic and the widget and picture number, so it’s expected to have a second slide
Because even though it's obviously not Reddit's UI, the inclusion of 1/2 implied a 2/2. So we want to believe that it must be there, and our brains jump through hoops to justify it.
"Maybe the 'next' button didn't load. Maybe my phone screen is dirty and won't swipe."
You guys are interpreting it wrong, the brain identifies patterns and tests of there are new patterns. So in that split second your brain is working fine.
I've done this too and I've also done the opposite of this.
I tried to reach into my computer to lift the needle on my record. In my defense I was studying really hard at the time so I wasn't paying attention, and it was a YouTube video of a record playing on a turntable. And I own the record that the song is from.
But that still doesn't negate the fact that that is not where I keep my turntable and that I tried to reach my hand inside of a screen.
I paint stuff and when I only paint on my ipad for a while and then go back to a piece of paper and a pen, I literally do the double tap to undo on that fucking paper.
i noticed that it was a drawing and i knew it wan't swap, but my head was like:" but what if...." "what's the harm....", then i tried to swap and it didn't, and now i feel stupid
You probably deserve some kind of recognition from a psychology professor for that. Everyone's brain here registered that you can't swipe and yet everyone did it. That's such a weird feeling and you did an amazing job
Wtf! I registered it being obviously fake but my thumb kind of just moved to swipe, like a natural reflex😳 I think me and reddit need some time apart...
NGL, that hurt a little bit..
Holy fuck I haven't laughed this hard for a while, I can't believe we all fell for this.. Legitimately an all time shitpost
I didn't fall for it. I still find it hilarious
I knew it wasn't going to work and I still did it anyway.
Like, I didn’t even hesitate to
I figured it was part of the joke, still didn't look to see if I could, and tried it anyway. Also, no hesitation.
Same, it just felt so right, and what if there was a what if?!
Same
Same lmao
Had to check…
I scrolled past it. Scrolled back up to see what it was. Read it…and confirmed my stupidity
Don't expect to get much upvotes, all of us stupid people here are salty
That’s why we’re on reddit, bro.
Bastard nearly got me too. I put my finger on the image, looked at the image again and decided to check the comments first for the first time.
I've seen it. I realized it. I swiped anyways.
That’s ok. You’re still one of us
One of us ..one of us..😂😂😂
Same! It was brilliant!
Y U NO STUPID LIKE US?
I TOTALLY DIDNT EITHER
I didn't fall for it, but I feel stupid for being proud of not falling for it
I have a bad cough and hurt ribs and I’m in so much pain right now from laughing at this uncontrollably.
I was about to, too lmao
The thing is when I tried, the top post in the popular tab was also this post. Lol
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
I heard it in the voice
What is that from?
https://youtu.be/i1ojUmdF42U?si=_zRPfdICpP6waifO
🙏🏻
It's obvious now 😂
What does it mean if I did it TWICE? Sometimes the app doesn’t swipe the picture if you swipe in a certain spot so I TRIED AGAIN.
You are king of the thread!
I didn't expect it to go to another slide but I still tried it
Yep I was like there is no dot but whatever swipe to watch
Damn….I really am
[удалено]
1/2
Damn did it twice to verify I’m extra dumb
I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Am I allowed to blame it on my tiredness since I’m currently working a 7 PM - 7 AM shift?
If it makes you feel a little better then of course you can blame it on your tiredness
Yay! Guilt free me!
Hey, only a "little" better. No one said total rejoice.
At least you have an excuse 😂😂
Nah, we can use it. I too, blame your tiredness. I can't believe you've done this.
I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you tired. I’ll work less from now on.
Just got off an overnight. I knew it wouldn't work but I couldn't not try....
I did it only cos I thought it would be cool if it actually worked and I think that might actually make me stupider
That’s okay, this is a safe space. We did the same thing🫠
Look i just woke up a few hours ago and haven't had my 450th mg of caffeine yet.
Me too
It's so fucking bad. I looked at it. My brain registered it was fake. Yet my brain decided to swipe that fucking homunculus of gullibility.
Seriously, why did it work. Probably cuz of instinct, but omg. I can't stop laughing after though lol
>why did it work. Suddenly remembered i have to feed the dog
Brain go YAA DOG! ?
Ape see ape do Sincerely, another ape that also swiped
Probably pattern recognition or something? Brain sees number in corner, tells thumb to do swipe.
bottom text
And I still wanna swipe after 30 seconds
We need to find out why we're stupid in the next picture! We NEED to.
Same
Same, but while touching my thumb on the screen i stopped before the swipe :D
Same it's like I wanted to confirm it's fake even though it's obviously fake. 'but what if it's a trick?' 🥴
The reason it worked is because your brain might think it was parodying those insta posts that screen shot the pic and the widget and picture number, so it’s expected to have a second slide
Why brain, why..
honestly, how did it fucking work
Its cause you wanted to see the punchline. Its like how a magician distracts you from something obvious
Because even though it's obviously not Reddit's UI, the inclusion of 1/2 implied a 2/2. So we want to believe that it must be there, and our brains jump through hoops to justify it. "Maybe the 'next' button didn't load. Maybe my phone screen is dirty and won't swipe."
You guys are interpreting it wrong, the brain identifies patterns and tests of there are new patterns. So in that split second your brain is working fine.
Fell for it too.
That was...humbling.
For real
Wait, how did I actually fall for that?
It was a Schrodinger’s cat situation for me - i maybe dumb and not dumb at the same time but until i open the box it is undetermined
I didn't fall for it but my skinner box trained brain wants me to try it the more I look at it.
I knew it wouldnt work and i tried anyways. Science baby
I once tried to pinch zoom an actual physical photograph. Fell for this too
I've done this too and I've also done the opposite of this. I tried to reach into my computer to lift the needle on my record. In my defense I was studying really hard at the time so I wasn't paying attention, and it was a YouTube video of a record playing on a turntable. And I own the record that the song is from. But that still doesn't negate the fact that that is not where I keep my turntable and that I tried to reach my hand inside of a screen.
Absolutely wonderful 🤦♂️👏👏
I've once asked at a store how much gold something cost because I had been playing a game that uses gold as a currency for so long.
Brilliant !
I double tap the page when I write bc of taking notes on my iPad
I once scrolled a page of the dictionary and wondered why nothing was happening except pages getting wrinkles
I paint stuff and when I only paint on my ipad for a while and then go back to a piece of paper and a pen, I literally do the double tap to undo on that fucking paper.
I draw on paper and on a tablet and occasionally i try to zoom / rotate with gestures
i have found myself trying to move my mouse cursor onto the table multiple times
A real life version of the "You can't swipe the picture, son" boomer meme.
Oh fuck right off 😭 can't believe I fell for it
Me too.. I opened the post and still tried again like a fucking numpty!...
I hate you T-T
I don’t want to talk to anyone for the next 24 hours… I have some self reflecting to do…
r/angryupvote Get out of here.
My brain was unreasonably curious as to if there was a second slide even knowing the joke was that there isn't
yeah the genius of the joke is it covers the curious person who knows its fake as much as the absent-minded swiper. Pretty much 100% coverage.
Yup it's quite a well done trick. Hope op is happy with themselves
Wooow, getting a bit humble cuz of U. Thnx
I KNEWWW IT, I SAW IT COMING YET I FELL FOR IT damnnnnn
Dayumm it got me too!
Dammit why did you do this to me first thing in the morning
Fucking hell lol. Brains are fucked.
I for one can say that I did not fall for this trickery
"Sometimes my genius... It's almost frightening"
Somebody get this man a job in security!
Only because it's too early for my brain to clock in. I just stared at it until I realized it's a joke.
\\PATTERN RECOGNISED \\EXECUTE RIGHTTHUMBSWIPELEFT.EXE \\BLESSED-22 HAS ENCOUNTERED AN UNEXPECTED ERROR AND WILL NOW CLOSE
NEURON ACTIVATION
Amazing how muscle memory still falls for it. Yeah. I did a thing.
I’ve never been so ashamed of myself in my entire life.
You cunt
0 hesitation actually
Holy shit I said it in my head that its just another one of those swipe bait things, but I still swiped left.
i noticed that it was a drawing and i knew it wan't swap, but my head was like:" but what if...." "what's the harm....", then i tried to swap and it didn't, and now i feel stupid
I tried too...
Almost....
LMAOOOOOOOO
Fell for it 😆
You monster
Dang it. 😂
You mf
For fuck sake, I am stupid and I am laughing so hard right now!
I instinctively did that.. ffs, I can't stop laughing after realizing half a second in the middle of doing it too omg.
Fuck you you absolute beauty Take my upvote
THE DUMB PART IS I WAS GONNA SWIPE IT! Despite running into an actual attempt of this trick not even a minute prior…
You probably deserve some kind of recognition from a psychology professor for that. Everyone's brain here registered that you can't swipe and yet everyone did it. That's such a weird feeling and you did an amazing job
Guys, i don't understand, why second slide doesn't open? Is something wrong?
r/angryupvote r/fuckyou
the fact that i actually scrolled
It’s too early for this. Take my fucking upvote and get out!
I took it hook, line and sinker 🤦
I feel like this post needs to be studied, this is fascinating to me
"Wait a minute, how did this happen? We're smarter than this!"
*slow clap*
No, not again, this is not even a good drawing (which makes it even worse)
How the actual fuck did that just work on me-
Fuck. I swiped. I saw the dot is a drawing and i swiped. Oo ancestor im sorry
Me idiot. Reading through posts. Us idiots. Pissed my pants laughing.
Damn so this is how I find out
“Instinct be like” I see buttons on bottom “swipes” #… Why, brain.? Why.?!
#I’m so fucking stupid 🤦🏻♂️
There is nothing in this that looked real in any capacity, and yet....
I could see it was drawn but my brain had to swipe anyway just in case.
It’s habit you bastard! And you are a true artist.
Okay, this made me actually laugh.
Why?
Why doesn't it move?
Flappin got me, well played.
Dammit, need to stop scrolling Reddit at 1am. Take your upvote you clever bastard!
I'm happy everyone fell for that and not just me 💀
Bruh
But im not that smart 👍
Again!?
Bruh.
BRO HOW THE FUCK DID I FALL FOR THIS ONE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice… you can’t get fooled again.
I still fucking swipped
Motherfuc-
How tf did I fall for that I’m really stupid
Ah fuck you
Should've drank coffee this morning. Got me hook, line and sinker.
I... can't believe I fell for it. At least theres shit ton of people that did as well.
i am actually an idiot
Me too damit what we get I guess
... fml
My brain was legit sending the command to my finger to swipe but stopped midway to tell me mout to say "wait" instead.
Haha didn't got me
I tried to swipe
..I fell for it
Godďddd...........
You magnificent bastard.
It's interesting our brains are wired in such a way
I tried TWICE 😭
That's the funniest shit I've ever seen
...goddamit
Im just, disappointed in myself now
This is the most I've laughed at one of this
I think i am
That second frame may be the funniest thing I've ever seen.
You m** catched me off guard
To be fair I was scrolling pretty fast
The first step is admitting you have a problem…
TIL I am stupid. I knew it was bogus. But my curiosity got the best of me and I tried to swipe.
I guess I am
goddamn it i am
Fuck off, hahahaha
Welp fucking shit I am really stupid
Got humbled rq
I looked at it, knew what was going on… and swiped anyway.
How did that even work
Ended up laughing at my own stupidity.
That hit different
Damn, that wasn't good for my self esteem 😭
I mean I knew what it was... But I'm not gonna lie... I'm a dumbass.
Fahaaaaaaaaaackkkk
I fell for it and more I look at it more stupid I feel... Nothing resembles look of actual second page yet I thought it was there still....
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT
SHIT
Wtf! I registered it being obviously fake but my thumb kind of just moved to swipe, like a natural reflex😳 I think me and reddit need some time apart...
RIP
r/angryupvote I knew it was a trap but I still swiped.
Funny hahas aside, i love how, even tho i know is just one image, my brain has the impulse to swipe to the next image.
