      My eyes started in the upper left with a single glance focused on the first line, which looks right. I didn’t notice the misspelled word on the second line, and I kinda saw the “Yes” off to the right. So my brain was primed to think that this was a normal flow chart, and the big shape in the middle was probably some funny thing about “of course you don’t.”

      My eyes then immediately followed the arrow in this completely normal flow chart to read:

      Is the tack humasns ceaptative?

      with some messed up lines leading down from it.

      It got me good. 🤣

      Edit: I wonder if this image was actually created to illustrate how our real neurons can instantly pick up on what the toaster neurons were doing, but then once your conscious mind has more time to process what you’re looking at it’s clear how wrong such an initial impression can be. There are probably also some parallels with how inaccurate eyewitness testimony can be.
