Pareidolia : the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.
I was putting some bacon on a cookie sheet this morning when I noticed something was staring back at me. What does it mean!? I see “things” all the time in other objects and wonder what percentage of people see the world through the same type of lens.
I wish I knew.
I’ve always been like this and I have no idea why.
Tell me what you see. I want to know if it’s the same thing I saw, or if I’m going crazy.

Moray eels!

I see it too! I’m the same way & notice things like this everywhere. I’ve heard that more often than not it’s a neurodivergent brain that this happens to (adhd, adhd-i, dyslexia, autism, OCD, etc.). Others will likely see it if it’s pointed out, but from what I understand, the ND brain will see it more often “in the wild.”

I see baby brachiosaurus heads, 3 of them

Well I definitely spotted the face right off. Couldn’t exactly label it though. But I can see it as a moray eel now that it was mentioned.
