On October 6, Twitter user MartyMula tweeted a simple photo of a woman - but it has got the internet in a tizzy.
People couldn't figure out whether it was a photo of someone's neck, or a woman with long hair flowing down her back.
Why tf I thought this was her neck pic.twitter.com/4gMnOlTegc

The tweet has amassed over 70,000 likes and 30,000 retweets, and people are still puzzled.

Twitter has a long history of tricky content that divides its users' opinions - there was the famous gold/white/black/blue dress of 2015, and the more recent Yanny vs. Laurel audio debate.
But this case appears to be closed - the photo is, in fact, a depiction of a young woman's back, not neck.
If you didn’t say that I would’ve never seen it ????
