What do you see when you look at these emerald earrings?

[Mreader]

I see what looks like weird aliens or someone wearing gas masks and now I cannot un-see it and it's making me giggle. I kind of wish they had been turned a different direction in the photo bc maybe they are cute? Hahahha!

 

[Garnetgirl]

My first thought too.

To me they look like a y-pipe connector.

Yes, aliens in gas masks, but they have headlamps.

Thing is, can you unsee, because I'd really like to be seeing cute aliens but it's kinda like how some smartphone back covers will just forever remain stovetops.

Reminds me of Star Wars

YES! Headlamps!

 

[ringo865]

Omg yes, aliens with gas masks! Before I read that, and I just looked at the picture, i was thinking some kind of piston heads (engine things?)

Reminds me of Star Wars

Me too! I thought like Sand People masks?

Then I was like (ohhhh, I'm a nerd) it reminds me of the Ashlander helmet from Elder Scrolls Online.

Edit: OR! They kinda look like one of the Hopi kachina faces.

@Mreader It's a good thing!

There’s a name for seeing faces in everyday objects. I’ve been doing it my whole life. I’ll be driving down a highway and the backs of cars look like animals, etc to me. The big electric towers along the highway looks like cats! I just found out it’s called facial pareidolia..I saw aliens as soon as I saw your photo!

 

[Mreader]

Now if I tilt them, I still see eyeballs...just a bit different.

It is worse this way. There's a torso, 2 legs, wearing this weird belt. Or neck with 2 arms and wearing something around the neck.
