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 10 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.

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

[-] MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

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

Wait a minute, Dogs don't talk!

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

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 27 points 10 months ago
[-] moon@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 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 10 months ago

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

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

You're welcome.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[-] newbeni@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Thank you, geez, that took me forever.

[-] Jilanico@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Do you see a young woman or an old lady?

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 8 points 10 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 10 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 10 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 10 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 10 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 10 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.

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

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 39 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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 10 months ago

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

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

She has... your eyes.

[-] 13esq@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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 10 months ago

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

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 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?

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

[-] roserose56@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

I think it does not matter if the woman in the picture is young or old. Maybe the artist is trying to tell, that early young adult women are not easy to detect ? like ages 18+ ?
