Show HN: a brain trick

8 pointsfranze5 comments

After reading this sentence you will realize that the the brain doesn’t recognize a second ‘the’. Now you read it to see if that's true.

I perceived the second 'the'. Does this mean I have a non-human brain?

genius

Failed for me too, I got annoyed by the second 'the'

  This works much better when
  when there's a line break
  between the "the"s.

I totally missed the the second the.
