I'm only reading about people getting really uncomfortable looking at this (on reddit).

Does anyone else have the same experience?

Posted on Twitter from a thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/bghyv5/t... From the thread's title: > This picture is designed to give the viewer the simulated experience of having a stroke (particularly in the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex, where visual perception occurs.) Everything looks hauntingly familiar but you just can't quite recognize anything

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…

Damn, reminds me of rotten.com ;)

I can't say why, but these kind of images are really disturbing to me. They give me a mixture of disgust and anxiety...

There's not much point linking to 4chan images, they disappear fairly quickly.

Yes, same here. Mild amusement but no discomfort. Had a discussion about it in a Facebook comment thread, and asked on or two of my friends. From my _very_ small sample size the number of neutral vs uncomfortable people seems about equal.

I suspect the people who feel most uncomfortable are the most vocal. Would be interesting to do a poll.

Oh. Didn't know that https://i.4cdn.org is 4chan.
