This optical illusion is melting my brain. The stick figures aren't climbing and descending a staircase, yet my eyes are telling me otherwise. I can usually see through an optical illusion after a while, but this one works a little too well.
From Explainabio:
"In reality, most of the stick figures are completely still. The sense of movement comes from rapid, rhythmic color shifts and subtle flickering across their bodies. Only the legs of the bottom-right figure actually move. This limited animation acts as the trigger that spreads the illusion throughout the entire scene."
