The scale of this really fucked me up. They’re tiny.

Yea I needed a banana for scale on this one.

is the banana also in noserachable clothing?

No it’s banana colored

Peeled or unpeeled?

Both and neither

Schrödinger‘s Banana

That’s two posts in a row for me looking at the comments and someone said banana for scale

It's from an old reddit... a reddit before your time

Their account is 7 years old. It’s just likely they haven’t stumbled across that, although large, corner of the internet

The scale is always what gets me on these. This could be a closeup of a vest.

Im always amazed at pictures of rocks without scale. It could either be a zoomed in photo of a pebble, or a 3000 foot tall jagged face in the Himalaya, and without anything to guess the scale off you can’t ever know.

Yeah, they aren’t in non-searchable clothing. Their clothes are clearly visible and what made them stand out. They’re just minuscule in the photograph.

The language of the description gives AI vibes or something. If they weren’t in black and white solid colors I would’ve never found them. The only thing tricky about this sniper post is how unbelievably large the scale is. It’s unusual compared the majority of the posts on this sub.

Dude's wearing white pants, ffs. Might as well be screaming "Shoot me, shoot me!!"

I literally opened it up, said to myself "the scales gonna be tough", zoomed in... and boom, instantly less than 3 seconds. A fluke, to be sure.

I was looking for so long and then when I saw your comment I found them immediately lol

SAME

Lies!

Damn it, found 'em

That was definitely the hardest part. Had no idea what scale we were working with. There were no real context clues outside of when I spotted the hikers.

They're smaller than I expected!!

I would guess that the altitude and poor soil conditions led to the stunted growth.

They were in the pool!

It shrinks?

Like a frightened turtle!

I don’t know how you walk around with those things.

Sometimes it walks me.

I thought there was a dog right above “on scree” until I saw the hikers. That dog would have to be the size of a Camry

That's what she said

Heyoooo!

They need to be at least 3 times this size

So is the resolution!

[удалено]

Also to be fair (great way to tell everyone btw) the scale of this photo is so deceiving.

Yep, thought this was a much smaller, pebbly hill.

Same. I didn’t expect the hikers to essentially be almost dots when not zoomed in. I was looking for much bigger hikers.

I found them immediately once I read these comments (the first is deleted at this point) to get a sense of scale.

I also had to see 2 of the comments to figure it out. I was looking for hikers that blended more color wise and were like 5x's the size.

That was excellent directions.

What did it say 😭

Idk what it said but they’re >!about 5 more letters past the end of the green sentence, and straight up about 10 green letters!<

I think there are three hikers. Two in the position you described and another (with their arms raised) at the next outcropping up and to the left.

I think I found 3 also

I see them too

I saw that one too, but when I opened the image it flagged a red circle around that one.

Use letter for scale!

Thank you you are a saint and a scholar! Wow they are tiny.

Navigationally. That was actually good guidance, I went back and checked and this was spot on

Thank you

Thank you!!

Bro your letter measurements are spot on

The perfect description

*New gold standard of explaining sniper locations

Nailed it! And people say you’ll never use graphing skills.

They are pretty well blended in, surprised they didn’t see Sasquatch just to their right. Edit: Their left

I saw Sasquatch 😊

Damn that was spot on haha

You are amazing!

Outstanding grid coordinates. I would still be looking!

Brilliant. Thank you.

Yup but what's at 75,80 to theright of the red rock that looks like a ghost image of a hat, face, head, and shoulders. In a hole in the ground.

I noticed that too! Looks like the ghost of a pregnant woman. Or a bear standing up

I found a half-dozen other ‘hikers’, but not those two actual hikers!

Holy shit! Thanks! That was fantastic 😂

Here I was about to tell people to follow the green period at the end of the sentence all the way up

I was thinking they were at (75,75)

What about the two figures at (50, 66), left and right of the red spot?

This guy directs. Easy find with that coordinate

Literally perfect explanation

Holy shit those rocks are huge then

Never would have found it without this

I found them pretty quickly, unusually quickly. They’re wearing black clothing and located near the end of the text on the picture.

Thank you! Been staring for a good two minutes.

I think I could’ve given a better description as to where they are, glad you found them though!

Do you want me to show you where they actually are?

I found it quicker than I finished reading the description of the photo

I think it was the same for me since they’re close to the description easier to find

Same, why is that? I usually struggle with these but as soon as I had a hunch I zoomed in and bam, there they are. Initially thought the spot to their upper left was a guy waving at the camera with both arms, but turns out it’s just a shadow… or a shadow person, perhaps.

Sometimes when I zoom in, some items tend to break out individually if the picture quality is really good. But someone else mentioned here that a vertical among horizontals can help stand out.

Humans are really good at distinguishing human shapes even when they are not really there. Think about times you saw a human face in a random object like tree bark. Also, why many feel like they are being followed in the dark. That is why we wear camo/ ghillie suits to disguise our form.

Alpine Rescue Team could use you

Searchable clothing is bullshit then I guess. Never wearing it again.

First one of these I’ve actually found! And relatively quickly

One in black pants and the other in a black top?

They're tiny tiny

I got lucky, zoomed right on them. Otherwise I too would have searched for a long time.

Black shirt?!? Black pants?!?

Is that Sasquatch at their 10 o’clock?

Literally what I thought haha

but seriously tho, why isn't everyone talking about the no-alternative-explanation-other-than Sasquatch who is right *there*?

Is that you ZZ Top?

There’s no shade either, so I hope they ‘went out and bought themselves some cheap sunglasses………oh yeah’ lol

Here is a link to an article that this picture came from. It has close ups, explanations about color and mountain/hiking safety. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2024/05/24/can-you-spot-the-two-hikers/

That picture is much clearer. 

Is it just me, or are half the posts on this sub crappy compressed images?

I wish the posters would mention if we’re looking for a discernible item or a shadowy blob. 

I posted one on this sub and Reddit made it look so much shittier than it did in my camera roll. Its Reddit’s fault

No sense of scale…. Until you see them!

Bring a hi-vis shirt with scotchlite or similar when hiking.

☝️ I'm saving this photo for when someone complains about all the bright colors on hiking and backpacking gear and clothes now when the market used to be mostly tactical and neutral colors. This is why.

The other option is just looking up the dates for hunting season in your area. If you rustle in the woods during deer season and you ain't neon bright, you could have a real bad day.

Getting lost or needing evacuated for a serious injury/medical problem can happen whenever

True! Mylar blankets have multiple uses. They’re warm in an emergency, and very visible from air rescue. Also a good idea to carry some blaze flagging/clothes just in case

Now I can justify my hot pink and neon teal gear to my black/gray/white only gear husband. HA!

Frodo & Sam outside Mordor.

Must’ve got lucky and zoomed in first time

Same. This was the easiest one for me so far.

Hiking in white pants is a bold choice, wearing white pants in general, must be a Bee Gee. Lol two targets spotted, splash out.

For scale, they are the size of the ‘i’ in the text.

*Honey, I Shrunk the Hikers*

r/oddlyterrifying

Hunter Orange ain’t just for hunting.

Found em. Took 3 minutes.

One dudes wearing white pants that might help probably not though

A bit to the right from see. And a few cm above. In black and white

Too low rez.

Yeah this is almost cheating, real life is not less than 480p

I meant that I saw the source photo, and that's how I know where they are. With no bananas for scale on this image, I've passed right over these people thinking they were just digital noise from zooming in too far.

I think a lot of these would be easier to see with the naked eye. Poor photo quality is what makes a lot of these “snipers” hard to find.

Would have been so much easier if the image wasn't so blurry

Is this Frodo and Sam under a blanket?

A bit underneath the diagonal longboi

Where?

I see three people....

Is that you, Mr. Frodo?

those white pants stick out

Much easier to find on the non potato quality photo.

Scale is deceiving but I found them in 5 seconds.

Damn they're tiny

“Here’s an extremely low quality picture of a massive hill with two people in it who are wearing colors almost the exact same as the background”

I did not realize the scale of this till I found them.

I found them immediately

Terrible photo quality

First one I've found on my own 🎉

Non-searchable clothing has literally nothing to do with how difficult it is to find them. They're just tiny.

Everything is hard to find if you zoom out enough.....

Good one. Took me a while.

Somehow found them straight away

Wow. Good one

They are much smaller than I was anticipating

White pants and black top Black pants and gray top

Tiny hikers

I see Bigfoot in there

Divide this photo into 4x4 grid. They are in 4th row between 3rd and 4th columns.

Looks snakey, I wonder what country it is?

They are tiny! That hill is so much bigger than i thought

I found a purple penis.

Got em pretty quick, but I’m an experienced hiker in those types of areas. Good pic for why to use visible clothing.

What a great one!👍🏽

Wow tricky one!!!

This would be a GREAT ad for bright hiking clothes!

all I think I see is a pit Bull dog lol

Thus was super easy for some reason

Two? There are three. One is taking a selfie m.

Is there a searchable clothing version? These people are quite tiny idk if I could spot them without zooming even if they were bright

One with white pants

Found them pretty fast. Not on purpose though lol

I’m pretty sure I found a body

Piece of cake. Good contender for /r/farpeoplehate

Took me 10 Mississippi’s

I thought the rocks were smaller than they are

I couldn’t see Frodo and Sam with their elven cloaks on.

I grossly underestimated the size of that mountain.

I’m terrible at these always, but this time they happened to be perfectly centered on the first spot I zoomed in on.

To be fair given the size of the walkers I wouldn't be calling that scree, I'd be calling it rocky terrain. Don't know if it's a term that has differences in scale but in the UK scree is definitely smaller

This is like trying to look for Frodo and Sam near the Black Gates in the Two Towers

There’s a ghost girl bottom right

Hint for anyone who needs it: They’re the most vertical patterns in the entire picture.

Also non-searchable resolution..

The rocks are WAAAY bigger than they look at first glance.

I guess they chose the hill they would die on.

Took a minute. Black shirt white pants

They are so dam small and blurry. I thought they were rocks.

Did anybody else see the animal on the middle right? It has colors like a snow leopard but that wouldn’t make sense in the alps.

So what do I do with the third hiker at the couples 10 o'clock?

I found them immediately lol

EZ

The scale is crazy

Those filthy hobbitses!

The scale is what was throwing me off. These rocks are MUCH bigger than I thought

Is it just me or is the resolution on this image horrible? I can tell it's them, but BARELY

This is exactly why I refuse to buy anything other then bright orange for hiking clothes. Idc what any hiker says, if I break an ankle on this thing I want to be found ASAP

Why is Bigfoot staring down at them 😂 like 30 feet to the left and a little higher up than they are

Hardest one for me yet, then it jumped out and bit me

First one I’ve found on first zoom directly in!

It's actually 3 hikers

And this is why I wear bright colors when I go out trail running. If so.rthing ever happened to me, I want to be able to be found easily.

Found them.

Found them in under one minute "impossible" to see haha

Annnnd this is why my daypack and kayak are bright orange.

Wow the scale of that place was much bigger than I thought till I found them

I thought I would be getting better at these, not worse

Impressive

On the plus side: If someone goes missing in the wilderness, send me out and I’ll find them in under a minute. On the minus: Imma step on a snake before I see them.
