If anything weird occurs somewhere in this world, leave it to Reddit to share it with everyone. That's what user MelvinDickpictweet — I know, I'm sorry — did yesterday when they posted a strange picture of ham. The Reddit post was brought to our attention by New York Magazine's Select All, and no matter how big a ham fan you are, it will probably make you a little nauseous. Not because it's gross or anything, but because it appears blurry. Take a look at the photo, here.
The poster of the photo — I'm not going to say the name again — wrote, "This sliced ham looks like it's out of focus." Indeed, when you look at the picture, it seems like it was taken with an unfocused camera or a fuzzy lens. The ham is actually just very thinly sliced, and the resulting translucent slices create this optical illusion.
In case you didn't believe that this really wasn't just a blurry picture, the original poster followed up with a video of the ham. It's good to have further proof of this strange optical illusion, but I recommend not staring at it too long. It might ruin ham sandwiches forever, and that would be truly tragic.
