Are you guys having dementia or something? It's 4 forks on a pink background. If your brain needed time to process it, god there's something wrong with it.

At first I saw the pink as the foreground and the forks as some kind of weird, wet background. Then I noticed the shape of the forks and everything flipped!
Pink towel*
Homer... Use the forks
I can flip it back and forth in my brain. But yes, I saw the negative space as the object at first view.
ok that was kinda cool
Er, wut?
4 forks. Is there something else?
I unsaw it
For forks sake
May the fourks be with you
No clue how there can be seen anything else here but forks.
I was wondering what those dangling purple things were, but after i noticed the forks, I can't see what I first thought I was seeing, just as the caption says.
The forks? The pepper shapes? What am I supposed to be looking at?
Well, my experience was that at first, I didn't see the forks at all. (That is to say I didn't recognize them as "forks". Or even as "things".) The forks looked like some blurry, nondescript background and the "pepper shapes" looked like foreground items hanging from something unseen off the top. The shapes didn't look really like anything I could identify. That lasted for a good 30 seconds before, very (very) suddenly, it crystalized and I could only see the forks on a purple background. Really uncanny how rapidly and entirely it shifted. After a good amount of effort, I was able to shift back to the first perception, but it took considerable effort along with looking away and back a couple of times. And once I achieved it, it felt hard to maintain. Very strange experience. Far more so than most "bistable" sort of optical illusions I've seen.
I noticed it's easier to shift back to the "pink döner" first perception if you hide the top half of the pic.
I saw it as forks immediately. Your description helped me to see the picture ”the other way”, with the pink döner in the foreground.
Exact opposite for me. Couldn't figure out what it was, and took a bit for the forks perception to stabilize after the poster said it was that.
Took me a moment but yeah I see the forks, but with little effort can revert back to the first view.
Coming from someone that's carved a pretty nice (and even functional) wooden fork before, I couldn't see the forks until you mentioned it.
Sigh, if only I knew how to chrome plate wood, I would have seen it much sooner..
Weird forced flex but I guess it tracks
Samesies!
Ah yes, a collection of pink döner
They brought pink sauce to turkey 😭
/s
How is this loss?
Leaving a comment so I can come back here when someone explains
E: I get it, the fact that it lived rent free in my head was the broken brain thing
Forks.
It's not supposed to be forks?
Just depends on what your brain processed first. I initially saw the towel as individual blobs in the foreground and what turned out to be forks as a solid background.
my dumb ass giving myself an aneurism by trying to force a "magic eye" illusion onto an image not made for it
Well shi I didn't think about it like that
