Photos That Make Us Question Everything We Assume Is True

We know that it's possible for our eyes to play tricks on us, but most of the time, this isn't something that we let interfere with our everyday lives. For the most part, we just go about our day, business as usual, trusting what our eyes tell us is true.

These photos might change all of that. Rap stars are grass, black holes are cats, and dogs aren't actually wearing goggles. We're not sure what to believe anymore.

This Isn't A Concert

This photo looks like it was taken at an Eminem concert or something. It looks like that audience is having a fantastic time. In reality, this is just a picture of grass at night.

Those little black "fleas" you see on the dog aren't fleas at all. This very large ad was placed on the floor of a mall. This is the view of it from the mall's second floor. All of those "fleas" are people.

This parking garage doesn't have a huge scary drop or portal to the underworld built into it. There's just a puddle on the ground at the bottom of the ramp reflecting the ceiling.

This picture is bending our minds. There is not actually a shorter guy in a yellow shirt facing backwards on this bike and doing a wheelie. That guy on the back is holding a mirror and they're in front of a bus.
