"Oops that was a photo, here comes a video" The sort of thing that you could easily edit out but Micheal chooses to leave in, makes so relatable. 2:23
yeah it really shows such integrity to admit to such a small and insignificant mistake!
this was really smart because imperfections are the sign of a human!
@@happybaby7839 Are you saying he's not human?
2:30 The best illusion is that Hannah was standing on a wooden box.
It's actually the curiosity box so.....
Oooooh boi!
The moving lady kept going clockwise for me the entire time.
Same
Yeahhhhhh
Same
Yep
Those who see the moving lady going clockwise are intellectual humans and they’re smarter than other people like you and me

Actually she wasn't looking at me, judging by her eyes she is blind!
Lil Markos well thanks
But there is a very rare eye color called "silver eyes" so what if she just has silver colored eyes
she was a picture
Yes wtf are those eyes
8:36 I don't think I've ever heard Michael laugh before.
I'll be damned, you're right! He's trying too hard to be a deadpan artist

What's DONG? I always remember it being D!NG
@@noarsopi5104 lol
I think you misspelled D!NG.
D!NG has never been named anything that isn't brand friendly, like DONG
Bonzai buddy
There was a time that I lost my glasses and I just didn't buy new ones for at least three months. During that time I had no clue where people were looking because their faces were just blobs. I would get in trouble for making eye contact when I didn't know I was even looking at someone. The first illusion reminded me of how that felt.
Wat? What is he talking about? DONG? This channel is called D!NG...IT HAS NEVER BEEN CALLED ANYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT GET IT DEMONETIZED \(O)/
I have not been watching D!NG for a while but when have they "not" changed their name?

Albert Böschow You mean 9:24
MichaelBlazer52 Cool teehee the video ends at 9:23 but you said jumpscare at 9:24 even though it is past the end of the video. I get it good joke.
and it still brings you to the beginning of the video anyway
one reason i don't wach an illusion video since like 2006 or 7 since i discovered it usually hides a jumpscare in every video of thoes
5:40 For me the blue dot didn't disappear, but the white surrounding area turned pink. What kind of high is this, Michael?
The dot didnt even dissapear,but it actually moved away from the green blob and outside the square.
nothing is happening for me
Tsavorite Prince For me the entire circle disappeared and it was left with just a blank white square. I think I’ve been looking at screens too much.
Hypothesis: the dot doesn't disappear because despite your best efforts you have been 'tuned' by genetics and environment to be alert and observant to the point that your brain and eyes are constantly seeking new information.
same happened to me. genetics, dad?
"if you try really hard you can flip your prospective" My mind: ............nope
Just try using your finger to point out whatever motion you want. Worked for me.
if you wanna do it without fingers, you can shift by watching one dot move in whichever direction you want to see
The only thing that happened to me was they moved outward
Its easy af
Hana stands on a box thats pretty cute
2:13 i almost wanna download this video to edit it so micheal says "im gonna take my dong out"
DogBeef leave it to Dolan Dark
Appleberry Smith Why? DD doesn't have a monopoly on memes...

"She appears to be looking to the left, right?" left right Michael is a genius
I love that outro
2:35 Omg she's standing on a box
Spookipooh hahhaj
Is that a fetish?
Mmmhmm It's a fetish called beatboxing. You beat off to women standing on boxes.
I miss vsuace vids
Didn't expect I would get these many likes
@@av4787 and no replies except yours, and now my own xD
Except these are basically vsauce videos... It's less experiment-based & Michael can fully utilize his amazing sense of humor, but the spirit of vsauce lives on with DONG! Vsauce 2 & Vsauce3 still upload too, just not as frequently. If you really miss the format of old Vsauce videos, there's always KZhead Red...
Me too
Must be something wrong with my eyes, the dancing girl the whole time for me she was spinning clockwise, the blue dot stayed gone even when moved I have had totally opposite of what he was saying the dice with the dots were rotating when going fast with me but when slowed down it was just doing the seesaw movement. My brain must be gone! But of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most! Lol
Dang
Dang
Dang
same for me !!
There must really be a problem since seeing the dot meant your eyes are collecting information
A cool little trick for 5:56 (that at least worked for me) is covering one half of the dots, whether it'd be from the side or top, it made it extremely easy to choose which direction I wanted them to go
4:40 wish you’d shown us the eyes for counter clockwise. Since I originally saw it as clockwise, I never got to see it in the opposite direction
Xystem 4 check it out on the website for yourself! All links are in the description. And as always, thanks for DONGing.
I cannot see it couter clockwise either, even when i click the counter clockwise button
at.kafasi.212 me too. Always clockwise
Agh! Of course the time Vsauce responds to my comment it's when I was saying something that needed correcting! I did check out the website after commenting this, by the way. It took a while, but after it happened the effect was really cool, and super trippy because of how long I'd been seeing it the other way!
I can’t believe it. I don’t know Michael at all. How could I have forgotten he liked tabs. I am a fraud.
fking casual lmao
We're all phonies! Hacks! Conmen! Filthy, no good, _dirty_ fakes!
SHAME
1:13 is me when I saw a cockroach flying around the house.
*U S*
@@vistagreat9994 You were like a father to me, (and xp too)
6:23 as soon as you said “I just did it” it swapped for me
Same lol
Me too, and i found out that, if iam looking in the center of the GIF, i see them going up, Down, but when i look at the bottom i see them going left, right.
It's easier when you make your eyes moving up-down or right-left when it starts to change the frame.
1:58 I can also get the information of the big blobby vague shape even if I'm near an image. All I need to do is take off my glasses.

D!ngalings
The way it has always been called
The dots were moving up and down at first for me!
When I look at the edge of the square, the whole thing disappears, the blue dot AND the green ball, I end up just seeing white..
Do you have a really big screen?
Get your eyes checked homie
That's also happening when you stare at the center ;)
Happened to me too when I was close to the screen
Me to, also i couldn't ever make the green dot disappear i'm not saying aliens, but aliens...
The thing I like about Michael Stevens is not only does he show us really fun facts and interesting mind munchies but these things are remarkable because they show us that the world is FULL of things so strange, and amazing that I am finding myself becoming transformed into a state of being which is constantly astonished. One day I will go Full Super Nova, and may be the subject of the best episode ever made about anything for all time. To see the episode for one's self- one will have to "Do What "I" Did"
i liked this video, the lack of puns between transitions makes it a lot smoother to watch
I really like this style of DONG videos, a lot more than the normal ones.
Same!
KC Music yea instead of complicated dongs just shake it up a bit and try something new. For example, a huge dong or one with a condom. Am I right or am I right guys?
With my glasses on I see Einstein, glasses off It's Marilyn Monroe. I am so blind.
ACiD AGE I am so blind, with my glasses off EVERY Face Looks like Marilyn monroe
Me too
It usually takes me around 15-20 seconds and mental effort of staring at the spinning dancer, but I can get it to flip directions.
6:00 The trick to seeing this in any way you want is to change the way you move your eyes. If you move the focus point of your eyes up and down while looking at one side, they will move up and down. If you move the focus of your eyes left and right while looking at the top or bottom, the dots will move left and right. Similarly your can make them appear to move in circles moving your eyes in circles, clockwise or counter-clockwise. Initially I was finding it slightly difficult to change my perception, but after a few minutes could do it in an instant.
0:57 ... I had to watch with only 144p an she kept looking left...
RIP
LoLoLoLo😊
oooh man, you spooked me pretty good there michael.
you guys really should find a way to advertise this channel more, i was sitting around waiting on vsauce videos for countless months not realizing this channel existed
D!NG: If you know me at all you know that I love... My mind: *D O N G S*
Hey Vsause Michael here. What is DONG? Dong stands for Dreading Online Neglected Gongs. This is suited for the national society for helping Gongs. Help now guys because I'm running out of acronyms. Ps love DONG for reals
ducks occupy nothing great
Didyouknowthat orangesare not good
I'm Uncertain about all this uncertainty.
When he put eyes on the dancer it still went the same way for me
Yeah and for everyone else too...because we are viewing from his computer maybe
Man I love tabs they make guitar music so much easier to play
5:15 did any of you have a fire alarm in your room that had a light? I was able to stare at that tiny little light and focus on it without moving my eyes, and all of the light would just slowly fade out of the room, until only the point of light remained. It's pretty hard to do, but also cool.
the dot one can be controlled by the way you look if you look from left to right they will appear to move that way if you look up and down the same happens and the same with the clockwise motion
Yea I have spent way too much time pondering this phenomenon and if you get it just right it feels like you are flicking the dots around with minute eye movements. I find it oddly satisfying and immensely fascinating.
I find it much more challenging to _not_ see them moving. (closing your eyes counts as cheating)
5:50 -> after watching the dots for like 1 minute, I now always see them moving up and down when looking above or below the square, but sideways if I look to its sides or into the middle. (Even though at start I had real trouble seeing this at all!) Fascinating!
0:00 did you mean "D!NG"
He changed the name to be advertiser friendly
YES!
5:40 The dot stayed but my whole screen turned green
Comrade Ushanka same
Same, but astigmatism can probably change the results, which I have in one eye.
rewinding and fast forwarding the video with the left or right arrow keys help the spinning girl change direction. its soo trippy.
HOW THE HELL DID I ONLY JUST FIND OUT ABOUT THIS CHANNEL?!?!? I'VE BEEN MISSING DONGS FOR YEARS!
6:45 try blinking really fast
MICHAEL BRING BRAIN CANDY TO ENGLAND
They cancelled the US tour and never spoke of it since. I'm guessing Brain Candy is dead after dumping on the fans like that.
Tip for spinning dancer illusion: Focus on her feet for counter-clockwise and her face for clockwise. Tip for oscillating dot illusion: Practice by covering the half of the screen you want the dots to be moving, i.e., the bottom half to see it moving side to side or the right half to see it moving up and down. While you're doing that move your head in the direction of the motion you want.
5:55 I found that a reliable way (at the regular speed) for me to change the perception of the dots between vertical, horizontal, CW and CCW was to quickly move my eyes in the respective way then look at the dots. Almost every time I see the pattern my eyes were imitating. Probably a result of "priming" my brain to see motion in whichever direction I was trying to see at the time?
The most tabs I've had open at once is 340 and right now is 227.
reggiep75 - I had 5 open once, it was a little scary.
mad lad
I use 'The Great Suspender' extension on Chrome that closes tabs after a specific time and recovers the memory for use or standby, as I used to have 8gb, but 15.5gb RAM was open once with tabs hahaha.
reggiep75 god damn that how many tabs does that mean?
you shouldn't be proud of your tab problem
7:58 "great job"
idk why but that moving black dot illusion made me really happy when I could flip which way they were going...
WOW at 6:40 I can picture whatever pattern I want to see even in the fast mode I can change patterns with every blink even if it's going fast and that makes me feel good about myself since he said he couldn't do it when it was fast :)
*Omg Michael close the window, I tought the police was at my door.*
When vsauce dies : Hey, Vsauce Michael was here!
But who is Vsauce
I still dont know who vsauce is
@@300subscriberswithoutanyvideos I know is he there boss
We are vsauce he is Michael.
I made one of those hinged ones out of dice and tape. It starts open but can be turned either way to form a closed square. The 3's and 1's all make a perfect box or star when turned too it's pretty cool.
6:22 the easiest way of changing the direction of the dots is by looking at one of the sides or corners. Looking at the top or bottom makes them seem like they're moving up and down, while looking at the left or right sides causes the balls to seem like they move left to right. Looking at the angles makes them seem like they're moving diagonally Edit: with the dancing woman, cover everything above her left and watch those. It's easier to force your perspective to change if the top isn't distracting you with a more fluid constant motion
So Albert Einstein is Marylin Monroe. Correct?
No, but actually yes.
🤦🏻♂️...Dies a bit inside
Or are you kidding and are gonna whoosh me?
@@itismethatguy I'm dead serious
0:19 Now it would be "Do !nline now, guys
Officially blown away!
Holy cow, the slow dots thing where you can see what you want to see. That is something truly spectacular from something so simple. I wonder what kind of training you can do to your brain if you experimented with that for extended periods of time.
The ballerina didnt change at all from counter clockwise for me. Even with the eyes they seemed it make it more obvious. I don't understand the illusion here
I scrolled down to comment this lol

He already did one last year!
SukMa Dek LMAOOO
Today
2:33 the fact that Michael hires boom mic girls that have to stand on boxes to get a proper shot is adorable.
Man, this is some good looking DONG
What about the dress? I always wanted to see it black and blue.
Nitish Anand wtf do you mean it is black and blue
DaBoomba i never saw it as black and blue. I want to. But i can't. I.e. I see it as bluish-white and gold.
I saw it white and gold too
I was able to switch what dress I saw at will, only after understanding why the effect happened though. It was really cool, like I was a superhero or something.
I've been able to see both, but I mostly see it blue and black.
“What up *DONG* fans!” *-Vsauce 2019*
It also helps if you change your point of veiw to change the perspective on the white dots one
for the circles moving one it depends where i look, if im looking just underneath or above they go up and down, if im looking immediately to either side they move sidewards, and if i look to the edges of my screen they move anti clockwise or clockwise, depending on which side i look at
I bet he stopped saying "Vsauce here" because he got enough of those memes 😂😂😂
well he ain't gonna say it in these videos is he, this isn't vsauce
Lewie895 Your right,it's his clone
lmao bro wtf are you talking about. give me some of what you are smoking bruh
Ghost Could someone provide me with a link to an example of the memes of which Michael is apparently fed up of? Simple, plain English, how could you possibly not understand?
Smotan Thank you. That was sadly evident very early on in this conversation!!
4:04 i can't see her moving counter clockwise
Yeah....noone does
@@itismethatguy after a bit it looked like she was moving counter clockwise but micheal decided screw you and took it off screen. Now i can't see it
Bro that dot thing is so cool I spent 20 mins playing with it
Is it weird that I get a little shot of satisfaction whenever he reminds me that this channel is called DONG?
3:26 my sleep paralysis demon, (the top one)😅
Boys getting girl’s attention in 1900s (Asks them to movies) Boys now 0:00 or 0:37
i’m glad the website’s ballerina doesn’t have a floor reflection like so many other versions of it do. it completely messes with the ambiguity. i love the ballerina one because it didn’t make sense to me how it can be flipped even as i’m flipping it
when you see michael on your subscriptions feed and think its a new vsauce but its a DONG and you get slightly disappointed but still watch it
Hold 3:16 at medium distance, nightmare fuel
Ooooo it's Albert though again 😂
*Alberto
With the oscillating dots illusion, I found if you wiggle your finger up and down or side to side in front of the screen it becomes a lot easier to switch between them .
with the two moving dots one, if you move your head when they move to where you want it to look like it moves to, you can decide, very easily. if it's fast and you're in a public place, though, you may look kinda bizarre.
