    Maybe it’s not working for you, but it works on my phone… The lines of which the cubes are drawn are white/black. By changing the amount of each on a side, (WHITEblack whiteBLACK BlackwhiTE blackWHITE etc) in quick succession, one edge of the cube can look like it’s approaching or receding. It’s based on the way shadows would behave for a real cube, and your brain processes it as such. (The ones I made up aren’t in any order, whereas the ones in the gif are carefully synchronized)

            It’s a good thing that it’s not a jpeg then. So looks like you’re opening a JPEG of a GIFV/MP4 file.

            Dunno how you’re managing that - but…skill issue. Because everyone else seems to be seeing the GIFV/MP4.
