Here we are again with another set of mind-scrambling images from Reddit's r/confusing_perspective thread! Here are the most confusing images we found in the second week of January 2025:

1.Somebody tell us how this person's daughter is laying under these covers. (Hint, that's a fluffy pillow, not her head.)
