    It has to be digitally tweaked somehow.

    Yep. Possibly an AI glitch? But otherwise, the whole thing works really well.

    This is my pareidolia and I see it every day. It’s an unpainted trim board behind the toilet in my office bathroom. Every time I look at it I see a big fish eating a small fish.

    It is a giant Eel eating a baby squid.

    OK, if we’re doing bathroom wall stuff, here’s my own view from the potty.

    Anybody else see the toothy demon breathing fire here? Bonus points for spotting the human face in profile above it.

    My bathroom wall demon looks sorta like a shorter-eared, squarer-toothed version of one of the terror “dogs” in the original Ghostbusters movie, if you ask me.

    That tile needs to be covered with a sign. Same one they have at one of the shooting ranges I saw: "We aim to please.. you aim too, please".

    The north part of the tile looks like King George on the Pillar dollar.

    I know, right? I would recognize that butt ugly face anywhere. LOL.

    Yes and yes, and I also can see the 1784 Post- Colonial Ugly Head satirical Medal.

    It’s faux-marble wallpaper, so the image repeats several times.

    Use your vision to focus on a larger area as opposed to a small area. Scan the upper right quadrant of the image. Locate the darker shade line running north to south in a gentle curve. At the east of the halfway point of the curve, a protrusion similar to a slight turned up nose will catch your eye (in high school the girls with the cute similar type nose were amorously pursued).

    Now, let your eye lazily follow this darker "outline" south to the chin and the neck, which has a protruding Adam's Apple, and at that point keep following the line as it becomes lighter east to west (the neckline) and then at the point where your eye does not perceive a darker or lighter shade line, immediately follow south to north, and the line becomes darker at the back of the skull and continues to the crown of the head running east to west, completing the outline.

    Now, compare this to the 1784 Ugly Head. It is almost an exact match.

    Truth in editing: replaced a "d" with an "s". Also removed an unnecessary "p". Removed the word "the" because only one "the" was needed. Also removed the word "eye" because only one "eye" was needed, and this is not a boat.

    Yeah, it's been manipulated. Pretty clearly AI, given the uncanny distortions (do NOT look too closely at the rightmost hand holding a cup). I expect to see a lot more like this in the near future.

    No, I was talking about Kentucky’s “spider” on the dollar bill, which I do not see.

    I see the “face” in my own image of the faux-marble bathroom “tile” just fine, and in fact mentioned that when I posted it.

    PS- it does indeed resemble the “Ugly Head” postcolonial copper.
