A Non-Tanmay Bhat Viral Meme Today – Photo of a Hugging Couple

Just another day in the life of social media citizens.

The most wonderful thing about the internet?

Its capacity to entertain several inconsequential viral memes at the same time. So the part of the internet that isn’t hung up on Public Enemy #1 Tanmay Bhat, is busy freaking out over this photo.

At first glance, it might seem like a regular photo of two people hugging but look closer.

See their legs? Craaaaazy.

The picture, shared on Reddit on May 24, has over 5 million views and people just cannot figure out who is doing the hugging in the photo.

So what is it? A mating ritual gone wrong? The next step in human evolution? Insane photoshop skills?

The answer, we are afraid, is more prosaic. The man’s shorts are of two colours – white in the middle, black on the outside. The white part blends in with the woman’s pants, thus creating a perfect illusion.
