Interesting how first impressions can be so different and so hard to get past.
Oh, I don't know. I've listened to songs and thought that I heard a specific line in the lyrics. Then when I looked it up and found out what he was really saying and that I was completely wrong, I couldn't even understand, much less hear, what I thought I was hearing the first time.
I couldn't even delude myself to hear my first impression.
Or what about ambiguous 3D drawings, like a stick cube, where the "front" of the cube could either be on top or on bottom. Sometimes your first impression is that its on bottom, but then when you look at it again it is on the top.
Or maybe that's just me.
But yeah, it is wierd that sometimes you can't get yourself to see something other than what you have seen. I know what you mean.

FYI: it's known as multistable perceptual phenomena. The cube you refer to is called a Necker cube. It's not a hobby of mine per se, but I have passed a lot of time with this girl. With a bit of concentration you should be able to get her to spin the 'other' way.
I was wondering how long it would take before this illusion was going to pop up here. EVERY forum that visit and EVERY blog that I read was already infested, lol.
New here, been reading for a while, but never posted. Thought I would get my feet wet here.
I don't have any pictures but my main hobby is power lifting. Certainly not world class, but I am 54 years old, weigh about 200 pounds, and just recently bench pressed 285 pounds (that is with a 1 to 2 second pause in the down position). I might point out that I am a natural lifter, no bench shirt, no lift off and, especially, no steroids. When I had more time to train my legs I once squated 295 and dead lifted 350.
I also umpire a lot of baseball and softball. Many years ago, I did high school games, now Little League and Babe Ruth baseball and Little League and Senior League softball is all I do. I have always said that the best place to watch a baseball game from is behind the catcher. Unfortunately, too many people accuse me of not watching.

Hrm. I couldn't get it. Any tips?
I had (and still have) the same problem. There seem to be people who are able to switch it at will.
Some tips I've read (but they don't work consistently for me):
- watching slightly to the left or right of the gif instead of right on - crossing your eyes - scrolling the screen until you only see the feet, and starting by looking at it that way - blinking your eyes at the right moment
- scrolling the screen until you only see the feet, and starting by looking at it that way
That did it!
Wow, that thing is aswesome.
I can get her to go either way now. Sorta at will. Sometimes its hard to get her to switch so I just cover her up except for her feet and then I can get it to switch.
