I don't think that reddit thread is the original source. Someone in the thread links to a larger-sized image which appears to be from https://funnyjunk.com/Cognitohazard/pxMTMck/ . EDIT: here's an even earlier source, from over a week ago (note: thread contains other strange but mostly safe for work images) http://boards.4channel.org/x/thread/22512161/cursed-image-th... . 512x512 seems like a more likely size for the…

mods/dang, please update the top link to one of these more-primary sources.

I prefer the current way that content makes its way to the HN frontpage:

Well, now I know what's going on if the real world starts looking like that. And I bet it will sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8

After a little therapy, it will sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLrnkK2YEcE

That song is brilliant. I think the video detracts a bit. I recommend just listening to it.

My understanding is that it's entirely comprised of sampled clips. A triumph of sound engineering.

Now that I look at it again, there definitely is a wall in the back left. MCS succeeded where I failed because I guess I have an implicit "walls aren't interesting" filter that threw out the only positively identifiable object.

A fipple, two gonzies, a stib, borquet and tinch, and I think I also see a couple of goffels

Lots of this has been done in language, like the Rockwell Retro Encabulator ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXJKdh1KZ0w ) and Plumbus ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMJk4y9NGvE )

The song "Prisencolinensinainciusol" has a similar effect: it's meant to sound exactly like American English to non-native speakers, but is actually just gibberish. Works amazingly well.

I've experienced this, not as a result of having a stroke, but as a result of severe dehydration and depleted potassium making parts of my brain shut down, or at least malfunction horribly. It is terrifying , and even looking at this picture makes me begin to feel the panic I felt during that episode. I could not identify anything, or figure out the connection between what I was touching and what I was seeing. Bath t…

I've had this experience before enough times that it's no longer frightening but means I urgently need some Gatorade or I may start shaking and pouring sweat. For me it's more like a moving shade that makes it impossible to see what's behind it rather than not being able to recognize it. Do you have some detail on what you think it's the brain shutting down rather than an effect on the eyes themselves?

For me it turned out to be sudden blood pressure drops.

I'd see my vision fade to yellow from the outside in. At 12 I had every damned test done by an ophthalmologist, only to come up empty. Much later, I had blood drawn for a test and when I stood after the same thing happened, but worse, and from everyone else's pov I fainted (I could hear and think, but not see or move). That's when I realized the issue was sudden blood pressure drops.

Sometimes this was accompanied by sugar lows, sometimes not.

Mind you, I never saw anything like the picture we're discussing here.

Here's the top ten things Amazon Rekognition saw:

Furniture - 94.8 %, Apparel - 93.8 %, Clothing - 93.8 %, Home Decor - 93.6 %, Table - 85.3 %, Pet - 77.9 %, Mammal - 77.9 %, Cat - 77.9 %, Animal - 77.9 %, Toy - 67.9 %

It's surprisingly confident.
