The rather innocuous photo appears to show four eggs stacked on top of each other, but a closer look reveals what could be two pairs of bare legs.
However, Reddit users weren’t so convinced and had their own theories as to what it could be.
“Yeah… ow… definitely nothing else because I have an immature mind,” wrote one.
“What else would you be?” asked another.
IHaveSoulDoubt replied: “By all means make children.”
Manubibi chimed in: “Uh, I can see it, but I’m just ignoring some parts of the image. If I saw it without any explanation, I’d say right away that I don’t know exactly what the image is, honestly.”
“It took me a LONG time to understand what you meant,” ThatCarpetTowel05 wrote.
Others poured cold water on the claim that it was a couple having sex, suggesting instead that the image was nothing more than a staged photo.
Anthryn237 posted: “You can do the same by bending your knee and elbow, or whatever else you try. Staged photos ≠ optical illusions.”
It comes after a stunning optical illusion showing horses on a mountain peak sparked a dispute between its creator and scientists.
Bev Doolitte’s portrait of five patchy-skinned horses standing together on a snowy ledge has been a mainstay on the National Institute for Environmental Health Services (NIEHS) website for some time.
In it, what appear to be four white and brown horses and a foal are grouped together and blend with the brown background of rock and snow, giving the image an optical illusion.
But scholars say Doolitte’s painting actually has seven horses, not five as its creator claims.
According to the group, the painting is made of seven horses, including some partial horses, such as the horse’s head and rump.
If you can’t see seven, perhaps this clever note from one of the NIEHS scientists could help.
“I see one on the left side looking out, and in the middle four faces come together – in that group, the brown nose of one (the second from the left) covers the right side of the face of the lower one.
“To the right is a little horse standing on its side, and above is the last part of the seventh. Unless I’m hallucinating.”
If you still don’t see seven, rest assured that you are among the many who believe that the actual number pictured is five.
