The content creator asked followers to close one eye and tilt the mobile device so they could see the charging socket. The video garnered 1.3 million views, 62.2 thousand likes and close to 3,000 comments from surfers who were enthusiastic about the trick. “A successful illusion,” wrote one surfer. Shani responded: “I could not read but I checked in the comments.” A third added: “The efforts gave me a headache. I gave up.”

The text in front of you is designed in a way that your brain cannot absorb at first glance. Both the angle and the perception play a big role. The letters look like long lines but once we tilt the phone, we can read the “lines” that become shorter.
The answer is: “You’re doing great, I’m glad you exist.”
