I'm only reading about people getting really uncomfortable looking at this (on reddit).
To me it did nothing, although I also couldn't recognise any of the items in the picture.
Does anyone else have the same experience?

Frame it differently and people would be more likely to go “huh, that’s weird”
At first glance it's "oh easy I can easily spot something in there, like that... Oh... Uh?"
I guess its been crafted to tickle the pattern matching part of the brain, so it looks familiar, but not? Like the uncanny valley?
I suspect the people who feel most uncomfortable are the most vocal. Would be interesting to do a poll.
I find this mildly amusing, but I do the surreal and bizarre for entertainment routinely anyhow. But for the same reasons that I seek out those sensations, I find myself having sympathy for those who rather than seeking them out for occasional changes of pace, can't get away from them as they are haunted every moment of the day and night. That would be much less fun, to put it exceedingly mildly.
