Release id #174775 : Optical Illusion [fixed]

I think we need a better screenshot, even with my glasses on I don't see the illusion.

Ok, seems like this is not on-topic for this release, since it got deleted twice in the comments:

This Visual illusion makes me think of this talk by Dan Ariely in which he briefly explains how/why we perceive visual illusions. In short: you're brain is making up stuff that isn't there even when you know it isn't there. See: https://youtu.be/9X68dm92HVI?t=142 . You can turn off the video after he explained the cube at around 4 minutes and 8 seconds.

The previously linked ones are also insteresting, but not so shocking, I mean it needs some explanation.
