It's a debate the likes of which have seldom been seen since the famous dress of 2015. A video that has gone viral online has left millions arguing about what is actually going on in it. The video shows a man swinging in the snow, and people can't decide whether he is facing the camera or away from it.
According to Metro News, the video was posted to TikTok on December 21. From there, it made its way to microblogging platform Twitter, where it has collected at least 18 million views.
"I'm losing my mind. Can someone tell me which way he's facing," wrote one Twitter user while sharing the video. The video has been viewed over 15 million times.

He's definitely not facing the building because his body can't just go through the bar like that pic.twitter.com/2dau0UKLh2

This isn't the first time an optical illusion video has baffled the Internet. In July, a video of traffic 'disappearing' from a bridge had left many confused.
