Proof settles viral internet debate of the direction of a man on a swing If you\u2019re still having nightmares over the color of the dress or the Yanny or Laurel debate, we\u2019ve got bad news \u2013 there\u2019s another viral headache confusing the internet. On December 21, a Tik-Tok video of a man on a swing in the snow went viral online, as people couldn\u2019t make up their minds as to which direction he was facing \u2013 is it towards the camera, or away from it? Baffled viewers can put their tinfoil hats away, though, as definitive proof has surfaced that will hopefully lay this whole optical illusion saga to rest once and for all. https:\/\/twitter.com\/esnycuddles\/status\/1208438679796113412?s=20 Viral swing video confusion solved In the video audio, a group of friends can be heard debating which way the man was swinging. \u201c[His] back legs are bent this way! His feet are bent straight out!\u201d one person exclaimed. \u201cI bet you $500 cash right now,\u201d another argued. The clip swiftly blew up on the internet, with many users unable to figure out the definitive answer as to which way the man was facing. \u201cHave y\u2019all ever even been on a swing?? [Your] legs are legit in front of you so that [obviously] means they\u2019re facing the wall,\u201d one person disputed, which seemed to be the main consensus for many people. https:\/\/twitter.com\/strapnarok\/status\/1208689824602832896?s=20 However, some eagle-eyed viewers have seemingly found out the definitive answer to the playground dilemma \u2013 and it appears as though the man is actually facing the camera. How do they know this? If you look closely, at one point of the video, the swing bar covers his face, meaning that it\u2019s impossible to be in the direction of the wall. \u201cThis proves he\u2019s facing the camera,\u201d one user tweeted, alongside a screenshot of the video where the metal bar obscures the swinger\u2019s face. \u201cHe goes through the swing set bars which is IMPOSSIBLE, therefore he is facing the camera. Case closed,\u201d another user tweeted in frustration. everyone who\u2019s thinks on that swing video that the bitch is facing the building is STUPID. i can switch to see both but when i \u201csee\u201d him facing the building he goes through the swing set bars which is IMPOSSIBLE therefore he is facing the camera. case closed. pic.twitter.com\/Hy4GQV2UXe \u2014 maddie!! (@catraIovebot) December 22, 2019 2015 saw the web go absolutely nuts over the color of a Roman Originals dress, which some saw to be gold and white, and some blue and black. In 2018, a sound clip surfaced which split listeners as to whether the voice was saying Yanny or Laurel. Regardless of your opinions on the swinging man, it\u2019s hard to argue with clear evidence. Maybe it\u2019ll all be put to bed now until the next optical illusion comes along \u2013 we hope, at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
