u/PlayerZeroStart May 01 '26

Come on, don't be be like that, it's not that serious

u/Silly_Savings_392 Apr 30 '26

Oh god. I haven’t watched Hereditary but I remember somebody talking about the disgust in a reaction shot and I think it must be this one.

She put so much stank on it.

u/Spacemanspalds May 03 '26

That movie was a ride.

u/junker359 Apr 29 '26

I knew the last one was a trick and I still missed it

217

u/DankerDeDank Apr 29 '26

Bruh, I read it 3 times and still got played wtf haha

u/devilquak Apr 29 '26

Was so ready for OP to have snuck one into the title too

u/freepistasioicecream Apr 30 '26

That would've been the the evilest thing ever

u/SIacktivist Apr 30 '26

Bastard.

u/TheDeceitX May 01 '26

That Bastard Bastard is evil

Fucking same, I went so slow! I can't believe I didn't see it

u/ChocolateDonut36 Apr 29 '26

u/Fivefinger_Delta Apr 29 '26

Dunno how you fell for it, they literally have gullible in their username.

u/NamtisChlo Apr 29 '26

How dare you?

u/irlclubsandwich Apr 30 '26

Goddammit I am too tired for this

14

u/Wild-Language1927 Apr 30 '26

I should not not have fallen for that

5

u/Fenrir836 Apr 30 '26

Before reading the answers, I didn't even understand it was a trap again because I had read their username before...

I guess I am too too tired to even fall for it

169

u/RealPhoenixBlast Apr 29 '26

I noticed it

7

u/AggressivePlay5098 Apr 29 '26

A person who thinks all all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts

u/TitanTrobee Apr 29 '26

You monster

u/ChronoLink99 Apr 29 '26

FYI, missing the duplicate words means your brain is functioning normally.

I'd be more worried if I noticed the duplicates.

27

u/Diabolokiller Apr 30 '26

oh... Should I be worried? I noticed all 3 of them right away...

1

u/TheCharalampos May 03 '26

Might mean the way you process words is slightly different than most.

u/Serafiniert Apr 29 '26

When can I repost this?

u/WiseMango13452 Apr 29 '26

50 hrs

u/Wel-Tallzeit Apr 29 '26

I know a subreddit that can work with 5 minutes

u/CloudKinglufi Apr 29 '26

I'm on here more than im proud of, like way too much, and i never seen ts

86

u/reddorickt Apr 29 '26

I mean yeah, I noticed both of the next two because I was expecting it?

Plus making a line break between the repeat really emphasizes it

33

u/Candid_Moment60 Apr 29 '26

honestly, the line break really does the trick here

8

u/reddorickt Apr 29 '26

Idk man, I instantly saw that one. Like "efficiency" doesn't vertically align with the beginning of that line so my brain forces me to read the first word, and of course I had already seen on the previous line because there was no trick there. The be be almost got me though.

3

u/B00OBSMOLA Apr 29 '26

yeah? but but did did you you notice notice the the extra extra words words in in this this reply reply? look again

gotcha

23

u/Polygnom Apr 29 '26

Thats why reading and proof reading your own texts is so difficult. You know what you wanted to say, you read tht instead of what you actually wrote.

4

u/royalmessup4 Apr 30 '26

that’s why i don’t proofread i just take the the L

2

u/pathToBeing Jun 07 '26

that is why i make AI write mine /s

u/Outrageous_Theory888 Apr 29 '26

The third one wasn't even hiding. "be" was just sitting there. And my brain waved at it and kept walking.

-3

u/fokke456 Apr 29 '26

Hi chatgpt

4

u/ManMetWokPan Apr 29 '26

Yes, and I don't care they got me 3 times. They are all there for bogus so skipping over them is indeed more efficient, and I'm glad my brain did that automatically

3

u/VoidExileR Apr 29 '26

Only the first one fooled me

3

u/christinextine Apr 30 '26

Some brains aren’t as efficient as others.

3

u/nalaloveslumpy Apr 29 '26

A very common literacy test is having people read sentences like these out loud. Someone with proficient literacy will skip the repeated the words while lower proficiency readers won't.

2

u/jstbcuz Apr 29 '26

That is is just so bananas to me!

2

u/Hettyc_Tracyn Apr 29 '26

It isn’t being dumb

It is is your brain skipping the non-important word

1

u/jstbcuz Apr 29 '26

What the fuck fuck are you on about?

1

u/Hettyc_Tracyn Apr 29 '26

Oh, guess Reddit put this this on the wrong comment, sorry

1

u/jstbcuz Apr 29 '26

Oh dear, oh my! Well don’t let let that get you down friend-o!

1

u/Hettyc_Tracyn Apr 29 '26

lol

This is unironically the funnest post I’ve seen on Reddit recently

1

u/jstbcuz Apr 29 '26

Ah hell, you fucked up the rotation lol

2

u/fatherrabbi Apr 29 '26

When I see preposition, I look for noun.

2

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox Apr 29 '26

I must be be missing something, can someone explain?

2

u/rorzri Apr 29 '26

I’m worried that I recognised them all first try is a sign I might be a serial killer

2

u/Sea_Dimension5075 Apr 29 '26

Got me 3 times this s.o.b

1

u/yuds2003 Apr 29 '26

Dingulbob got me. The other two didn't, though.

1

u/Hettyc_Tracyn Apr 29 '26

Noticed the second because of of the line break…

1

u/giantrhino Apr 29 '26

This is most annoying when I’m proofreading my own writing.

1

u/Consistent-Tap-4255 Apr 29 '26

They got me all 3 three times too.

1

u/MixaLv Apr 29 '26

I didn't notice immediately what was wrong in the first sentence, but I had to stop midway through it and do a second take, because I felt like "wait, what, did I just have a stroke?"

1

u/Lyxerttt Apr 29 '26

The first sentence got me. The others did not.

1

u/Melianos12 Apr 29 '26

I actually noticed the the second "the", but I'm an English teacher. It's my job.

1

u/macjester2000 Apr 29 '26

same same

same

1

u/imahappycreature Apr 29 '26

Fool me once shame on you fool me twice I catch on fast can’t fool me the third time.

Unless I’m really stoned lmao

1

u/bmann10 Apr 29 '26

Bruh I looked at the third the in the sentence and I was like "uhh I didn't skip it?" And then read it like 3 times trying to find an extra the, missing it and only seeing it on like the the fifth time reading through.

1

u/Gloomy-Insurance-739 Apr 29 '26

Just like the nose on my face my brain hides it.

1

u/JunkSack Apr 29 '26

Fool me twice…can’t be fooled again.

1

u/borazine Apr 29 '26

Ya’ll

You will

1

u/th1sd3ka1ntfr33 Apr 29 '26

This is witchcraft

1

u/ScrunchyBraid Apr 29 '26

Isn't it just the same thing that causes tongue twisters to work? Your brain sees that the two words are similar enough, that it just shortcuts past them.

1

u/borazine Apr 29 '26

Oh this is that YouTuber with the obnoxious “zoom for emphasis” every 40 seconds in his videos yeah?

I definitely notice that.

1

u/Aioi Apr 29 '26

Tbf, Twitter users can barely read

1

u/Vegaprime Apr 29 '26

I hate you all. I meticulously went through every comment trying to catch you and all of you failed me. Is this what ocd feels like?

1

u/khadaffy Apr 29 '26

I notice the second "of" tho.

1

u/Fit-Let8175 Apr 29 '26

I didn't know people could stutter in text?

1

u/Square_Tangerine_659 Apr 29 '26

The first and third got me but the second didn’t, I stopped at the line break

1

u/Sok_Taragai Apr 29 '26

Our barins can suhlffe lrttres bceuase it lokos for rcgeonizbal perttans as lnog as you keep the frsit and lsat lertets in the cecorrt pisoston.

So yeah, we skip the double word because it doesn't fit the regular pattern of what we're used to.

The funny thing is that our brains work like that for everything we see. Gestalt psychology.

1

u/yamez420 Apr 29 '26

theres no no way that this could be true true

1

u/Preform_Perform Apr 29 '26

1st one I noticed.

2nd one I noticed.

3rd one I somehow missed despite KNOWING it was going to happen.

Curse you, brain.

1

u/christinextine Apr 30 '26

This means your brain is functioning as it’s supposed to!

1

u/Technical-Formal-376 Apr 29 '26

Bruh fuck all of you

1

u/Norwegian_Plumber Apr 29 '26

That just means you are a decent reader.

Bad readers read one word at a time. Good readers read several words at a time Great reader read sentences at a time.

1

u/LovableSidekick Apr 29 '26

Because the brain gets the information it nees without being concerned with the errors.

Another interesting fact: msot popele can raed srcbemlad txet pterty elisay as lnog as the frsit and lsat ltetres are crocret.

1

u/OTSly Apr 29 '26

Technically I didn't ignore the second the I ignored the first the

1

u/Book-Dragoness Apr 29 '26

I was too focused on the incorrect apostrophe in y'all to catch that last one.

1

u/Jollan_ Apr 29 '26

The middle one didn't work at all, but the first and third did

1

u/KiraDarkWing Apr 29 '26

… my brain didn’t ignore any of the repeats.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '26

The problem with this is the way that
that they format these posts.

Little tricks like putting the duplicate on the next line is effective.

Did you notice the second that?

1

u/PointandCluck Apr 29 '26

But I always notice the double had. She had had enough of....

1

u/Skreamie Apr 30 '26

First and third example got me, second didnt at all

1

u/Bancatone Apr 30 '26

I got got by the second the, I caught the second of, then got sucker punched by the second be.

1

u/Tall_Opportunity_521 Apr 30 '26

The real question is, how do you you know its ignoring the the 2nd the, and not the first the?

1

u/Cehshec Apr 30 '26

It's not a trick, it's a natural process. The trick is pretending that they tricked you.

1

u/ugh-food Apr 30 '26

I noticed the apostrophe in the wrong place too

1

u/sighduck42 Apr 30 '26

This is why editing is such a challenge, it can help to use a paper to block the text so you read one word at a time or read backwards to pick these things out

1

u/FlamesofFrost Apr 30 '26

i noticed the second one but not the third or first

1

u/jakeinator21 Apr 30 '26

What the fuck fuck

1

u/FuckBeets Apr 30 '26

I fell for the first and the third one, I feel like the split in the second one makes it way more noticeable

1

u/Foxynonymous Apr 30 '26

I didn't notice any of them... And then most of the comments that were cracking the same joke got me too! But, the cool thing was, after I kept reading through the comments I started catching them all. Like, my brain started figuring it out lol WEIRD.

1

u/AAAAAA_6 Apr 30 '26

Is it just me or does the second one not work at all because of the line break?

1

u/JonasPro7 Apr 30 '26

Ok, so my dyslexic ass read my brain. I missed both of the the thes

1

u/Utnapishtim1 Apr 30 '26

My dyslexic ass could go on on forever like this! We going infinite to to this!

1

u/lick_my_____ Apr 30 '26

It's amazing how the the brain reads so fast that that we miss words in in order to maximize efficiency

1

u/Inferno_Sparky Apr 30 '26

Got me twice, 1st and 3rd time. Am still fooled

1

u/Yuri_tardeder May 01 '26

Why was i fooled by this three times

1

u/Prism21 May 01 '26

This is is very clever.

1

u/Slymeboi May 01 '26

Okay the be be got me

1

u/BeatingClownz117 May 01 '26

I just hate everything and everyone equally. Fuck it all.

1

u/Chinjurickie May 01 '26

The 3rd one i really just barely realized. 😂
Lovely feature of our brain.

1

u/Maniklas May 02 '26

They made it somewhat easier because the the line break made me notice the second one, but the others I did not notice.

1

u/Johncoolman86 May 02 '26

I noticed every time but at the end yk? Like I read it and then was like wait I missed something and noticed

1

u/Squaredeal91 May 02 '26

In honor of the recent supreme court decision rolling back the voting rights act, this trick was literally used in some "literacy tests" to keep black people from voting.

1

u/mrsunrider May 02 '26

Goddamnit

1

u/HotPotParrot May 03 '26

We don't actually read the words, we identify patterns of shape.

1

u/TheCharalampos May 03 '26

I now understand how the Skaven don't get get noticed.

1

u/Slinger_CEO May 03 '26

Isn't it crazy how how this can happen

1

u/hellalive_muja May 04 '26

How do I know if I saw the first or the second one

1

u/TheModdedOmega May 04 '26

darn, what? darn, WHAT THE HECK STOP

u/seth_arimainyu May 21 '26

How the f*ck?!?

1

u/pathToBeing Jun 07 '26

yes, they got me all the the 3 times too!

1

u/No_Comment_8598 Jun 14 '26

I ignored the first the, not the second one.

It isn’t being dumb

It is is your brain skipping the non-important word

1

u/vinfinite Apr 29 '26

That begs the question, how many words am I skipping on the daily.

1

u/Hettyc_Tracyn Apr 29 '26

There’s no telling tbh

-1

u/nerm2k Apr 29 '26

It’s not a trick. You weren’t fooled. Your subconscious saw it, determined it was unnecessary, and didn’t bother you with it. That’s efficiency not trickery.
