Woman accidentally makes bizarre optical illusion when coming down a slide

People have been left baffled by a TikTok video which shows a woman accidentally create a strange optical illusion on a slide. Prepare to be completely puzzled:

There's nothing better than dashing your way into an empty playground as an adult to relive your younger years. However, two TikTokers' innocent time-hop back into their childhoods turned into a mind-boggling experience when the slide played an optical illusion trick on them.

Other users have been left equally as bewildered.

TikTok user Grumpy Bussy shared a video of 'Grumpy!' going down a slide at a park.

While she started off going down the slide seated on her bottom, the user somehow ends up coming out the bottom lying on her front.

"How did you end up backwards?" a voice can be heard saying off camera, to which she replied: "I don't know?! It happens so quick."

The video has since amassed over two millions views, with users commenting over their sheer confusion. Me and you both.

One user leapt in with a suggestion as to how Grumpy! could have possibly come out at the bottom of the slide in a completely different position to how she went in. They wrote: "the turn is too sharp for her height that her whole body twisted instead of bending with the curve."

However, Grumpy Bussy clarified: "She's 5'3" I promise you it's not a height issue."

Another user seemingly knew exactly what was going on. "Oh it's a morbius slide," they wrote.

A 'Möbius loop' in maths being a half-twister strip of paper which is attached to form a circular band.

Others remained just as confused as I was, with one writing: "I'm convinced this was a magic trick."

"She’s like 'Bruh I’m just as confused as you!'," another said.

A third commented: "I'm convinced this was a magic trick."

Before a final resolved: "Watched three times I'm giving up for my sanity."

Luckily for Grumpy!, she may have come off the slide bum first but she didn't end up creating an optical illusion which looked 'incredibly rude'.

And while it may be confusing for many as to how she started out on the slide on her bum and ended up on her tum, at least your mind wasn't as baffled as when this dog appeared to walk through a wall.
