Stop. It’s happened again.
A photo of a thing – that is definitely a thing – is going viral because it has half the population convinced it is definitely another thing.
This time it’s not a white and gold (sorry, blue and black) dress, but a strange black creature that could either be a crow or a cat.
Behold:
While at first glance this image, posted on Reddit, looks a lot like a crow - even Google images will tell you that in a reverse image search - it is in fact, upon closer inspection, a black cat.
The kitty has just twisted its head in a way that makes its ear appear like a beak in this photo.
While it's not sparking the same furious debate as the Yanny/Laurel mind-mess of May, the photo did have many people on social media doing double takes.
