^ That one's fun.

These are two of my favourites:

(When it says "back and forth", it means toward & away from the screen)


And for this one, at first you see a circle of pink dots with a rotation of one dot disappearing, but if you stare at the target in the center, it looks like there's a green dot traveling around the circle (and after a while it makes the pink dots disappear!):

um, that isn't a green dot its a light blue one

[WingedZephyr]

um, that isn't a green dot its a light blue one

It's light green. Because green is the complementary colour of red, and that's how the illusion works. But who cares? The point is, it's a different colour than pink.

[Renaud Magicpaw]

I still see light blue, is that bad ???

[WingedZephyr]

No, I don't think so. I can see more of a blue than green if I scroll the window down so that all but half of one circle is cut off, but when I'm looking at the whole thing, I see green.

I wouldn't worry about it.

There annoy me because it's like my eye are playing tricks on me

@ the pink dot one- WTH i see floating green dots after looking at it is it a side affect

Not really a side effect. Just the way eyes work after staring at something for a long time. Should go away soon enough.

that made me and Huskystar create a ruckus in IT yesterday. we were like :" omg i see clockwise, why do  u see anticlockwise" WHUTTT

[Noke]

hahaha, my networking class was the same way. there was a huuuuge argument over it

Those optical illusions are awesome.  The one with the spinning silhouette doesn't work with me.  I always see her going clockwise.  How do you get her to turn the other way?
