Dumpster Mysteriously ‘Floating’ In Photo Has People Blaming Lockdown Madness

Is the coronavirus lockdown making people see things?

A mind-bending photo depicting a “wheelie bin [or a dumpster in American English] floating” has baffled the internet. The snap, shared by @dancooledaily, seems to show a gray dumpster hovering in the air. “Why is this wheelie bin floating though?” the Twitter user asked.

The gray trash can appears to be floating on the pavement, but upon closer inspection, the optical illusion seems to have been created with the wet patch in front of it.

“I have 100-percent been in the house too long,” the user joked.

The hallucination instantly became a meme for those who have been stuck in the house due to the lockdown.

For those who are still struggling to unsee the illusion, just cover the patch with your finger, and your sight will be restored.
