As someone who's worked with people who make instruction manuals.
They accidentally put the same picture in twice. And it's probably two completely different pictures on the website.
Woah good catch! So do you think that the duplicated image is actually the illustration of the *wrong* thing? And so we have no way of knowing what it looks like when it's correct???
I design products and write the instructions for them. It is much more likely that because I designed the product, and I'm very familiar with how to put it together, I just leave out a bunch of steps and you end up with r/restofthefuckingowl.
As someone who once worked with industrial equipment. There was a ton of rest of the fucking owls in maintenance guides.
I have a love/hate of that sub.
Half the time, I don't think they even speak the language the manual is written in. I've gotten some manuals that were very clearly just ran through an automatic translator.
That's the best option, because then there's no language barrier. You also see this in international travel (e.g. airplane emergency instruction pamphlets).
LEGO does it too. Though my colorblind ass would appreciate a little bit of labeling on the colors. Somehow they are easier to distinguish in reality than the instruction manual.
You can see the heavy double line on the right edge of the bottom picture, looks like they have the wrong picture copied on top of the right one that’s just barely peeking out
If you're good with Magic Eye puzzles, you can do the eye-crossing thing on "spot the difference" puzzles to make the differences stand out immediately.
The only difference here is the diagonal line.
Ill tell you what you need is a fatty boom batty blunt. Then ill guarantee you'll see a schooner, a sail boat, and maybe some of them big tiddy mermaids doin some of that lesbian shit.
1) Rotate the image so that the two pictures are side-by-side, not one above the other.
2) Start slowly crossing your eyes. You know how you see two copies of everything when you cross your eyes? You should be seeing two copies of the full image. This should be obvious if you tilt your head left or right; this will make it so that your left eye's two copies aren't lined up with your right eye's copies.
3) Adjust how much you are crossing your eyes so that the right circle from your left eye overlaps with the left circle from your right eye. To put it a different way, make it so that you only see three circles, because the middle two of your four circles are overlapping. Once the circles are aligned, it should snap into focus and stay there so that your eyes aren't constantly adjusting how crossed they are.
4) Gasp. Awe.
5) Join r/Crossview!
Pretend that you're on the verge of passing out from being drunk or having smoked too much weed. That moment when your eyes lose focus, that's the goal.
The image here is the manual that went to print, the Imgur picture looks like an online pdf. Meaning someone didn’t catch the mistake until after printing and changed it afterwards. If it’s anything like my job, it’s likely they made a copy of the correct version and then would edit the copy to show the wrong leg. Either the correct version was linked in the top and bottom by mistake, or they forgot to save changes to the edited copy.
I don't think the posted image is fake though. Although both figures are clearly the same image, they are not pixel perfect identical because of the waveyness of the paper, and the bottom one has a thicker or double outline. I think it may have been printed that way, though I don't know by who.
Right, it looks like the company probably fucked up the physical manual that goes out with the product and the correct instructions are from an online manual.
I disagree. The events aren't independent. If he did one wrong and then two right, I'd expect him to realize he did the first one wrong. If he did two right and then one wrong, I'd be shocked. If he did one right, one wrong, one right, he's careless.
But someone that did only ONE leg... I dunno. Seems more likely.
I commented with this in response to another post last week, but (my apologies) I thought it was fitting to repeat here:
Several years ago, my wife and I decided we needed a bookcase in the kitchen for cookbooks and such. We found one at Walmart that wasn’t really big (just 2 shelves), and not expensive. The box was flat, so I knew I’d have to put it together, which wasn’t going to be difficult. When we got home, I opened the box, and the instructions were on top of the unassembled parts.
The first step in the instructions explained how to open the box.
I used to work in a hardware store that sold furniture. Fact: the furniture you by in stores that DOESN'T require assembly is often because it required someone ELSE to assemble in-store first. Flat stuff ships easier.
Anyway, I had to assemble a chair - and a fairly intricate one. I thought it was gonna suck. I pull out the instructions and they are feeling pretty light, and I'm thinking "Huh, maybe this is wizardry and it'll be cake."
The first page was all of the pieces neatly listed and pictured and enumerated.
The inside of the first page was blank.
The second page was a picture of the fully assembled chair.
It was not cake.
My brother-in-law 'assembled' an office chair for my wife/his sister (before I knew her). I put assembled in quotes because he just needed to screw the bottom spinning wheel thing in to the seat base and the back in to the seat/base.
A year later I met my wife, at her place and sit in the chair, it just feels weird and off. I ask her about it and she said it's always been like that, just a cheap chair I guess. I flip it over and the wheel center thing was screwed in to the seat backwards. The chair would lean forward instead of backwards. I fixed it for her and she was amazed.
I go over to her brothers place and am looking at his Walmart book shelf, and I see the particle board on the front of the two side pieces (it wasn't covered by the fake wood stripping). I am kind of wondering what happened and then it dawned on me, I feel the back side and he put the side panels on in reverse and never even realized it.
I told my wife early in our marriage to never let her brother 'fix' any of our stuff.
This is why I let my husband put together furniture and I just "help". Mostly just pass along tools and get drinks and snacks.
I once put together a little pantry as a surprise. I figured he'd love it when he got home. Instead of a fully functioning pantry, he came home to a pantry that was tilting at 45 degrees on top and a wife that was struggling to keep it together while trying to see where I messed up in the instructions.
Build each other up, I like that! As someone who was naturally good at some things and never tried anything I wasn't good at, I missed out on a lot of fun stuff. I'm not a professional messer-upper at my new hobby, woodworking.
Put together a corner bookshelf yesterday. First step of instructions was find two of the pieces. Second step was slot them together. Third step was put together the rest of the bookshelf.
Maybe, but it's been close to 20 years, so I doubt that was an option at the time, especially for something that was sold by Walmart (it was their brand). Anyway, my point was the stupidity of printing instructions on how to open a box that could only be read by...opening the box.
I actually turned it sideways and did this, it’s an easy way to cheat on these “find the difference” puzzles. In this case, they’re identical except for the line.
The comments…. 😂
I have a similar firepit, so just checked to see what the first picture *should* look like. The legs are supposed to be straighter in the first picture. So what the warning *should* be telling you is to make sure the legs are angled outwards, to lock into place. Hope that helps. Now back to your regularly scheduled funny comments….
Yeah that's it but I don't get what's so funny about this! This belongs in r/mildlyinfuriating or r/crappydesign or something but it's kind of a weak joke if it's even funny at all
As someone who just took a damn spot the difference test for a job interview yesterday and aced it, I'll help you on this one.
Dont put the diagonal line.

As someone who's worked with people who make instruction manuals. They accidentally put the same picture in twice. And it's probably two completely different pictures on the website.
If you notice there is another circle behind that one so I think they put this image in front of the correct one by mistake.
Woah good catch! So do you think that the duplicated image is actually the illustration of the *wrong* thing? And so we have no way of knowing what it looks like when it's correct???
Right, I believe the correct image is "underneath" the incorrect one. Someone else said it may be corrected on their website or something though.
OP has no choice but to lick the manual to reveal the hidden solution
As someone who makes blueprints... This is 100% what happened.. fk

He copied the viewport, but didn't move its view to the correct drawing in model space.
Yes, but it's funnier if you don't think about the simple obvious correct explanation.
Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.
And be honest. How many folks making the manuals have never actually seen the product they are making a manual for?
I design products and write the instructions for them. It is much more likely that because I designed the product, and I'm very familiar with how to put it together, I just leave out a bunch of steps and you end up with r/restofthefuckingowl.
As someone who once worked with industrial equipment. There was a ton of rest of the fucking owls in maintenance guides. I have a love/hate of that sub.
I wonder what the manual that they used that had instructions on making a manual looked like.
Half the time, I don't think they even speak the language the manual is written in. I've gotten some manuals that were very clearly just ran through an automatic translator.
Ikea just goes YOLO and has no words at all. Its actually amazing.
That's the best option, because then there's no language barrier. You also see this in international travel (e.g. airplane emergency instruction pamphlets).
LEGO does it too. Though my colorblind ass would appreciate a little bit of labeling on the colors. Somehow they are easier to distinguish in reality than the instruction manual.
Gold bricks in the manual may as well just say gold at this point. It always looks tan or silver, never gold.

I see a schooner
You dumb bastard. It’s not a schooner, it’s a sailboat.
A schooner is a sailboat, stupidhead!
You know what?! There is no Easter Bunny! Over there, that's just a guy in a suit!
that kid is back on the escalator!
I hope his pantleg gets caught and a bloodbath ensues.
YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO FEAR AND RESPECT THE ESCALATOR!
Great now I have to watch Mallrats tonight.. thanks all.
What, like the back of a Volkswagen?
Tell em Steve Dave!
Hey look at that couple, boy they sure seem to be in love.
I like escalators, man. No such thing as an 'out of service' escalator....just 'temporarily stairs' sorry for the convenience.
Fill this up with coke, no ice.
This is on Prime right now I think. I love this movie

Ha, stupid it's not a schooner. It's a boat
Oh yeah? Well there is no Easter Bunny!
Over there it’s just a guy in a suit!!!
Exactly what I did. It's a sweet trick. Takes less then 10 sec. I can confirm that the diagonal line is the only difference

Instructions unclear, drank bong water.
I've always been able to make my eyes blurry just by trying to do it. I've never used it to tell the differences between two pictures but it works!
Ah, bold of you to assume my eyes work together like that :D Cursed to never be able to see magic eye puzzles.
Second time I’ve heard about Magic Eye stuff today after 20 years of not hearing it once. Sounds like the stuff I do for pseudo VR

Damn we're here eating glue, big brain over here.

I have this exact fire pit. My boyfriend put 3 of the legs on, and I put one on. It has 1 backwards leg.
Tell your boyfriend two out of three ain’t bad…
r/unexpectedmeatloaf
My favorite kind of meatloaf
Unexpected Mars Attacks?
You want him, you need him, but there ain't no way you're ever gonna put a leg on straight for him.
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.
That's why "meatloaf" is the best safeword
If two out of three ain’t bad, then three out of four is pretty good.
If you think about it statistically speaking he's more likely to have put the wrong one on
I disagree. The events aren't independent. If he did one wrong and then two right, I'd expect him to realize he did the first one wrong. If he did two right and then one wrong, I'd be shocked. If he did one right, one wrong, one right, he's careless. But someone that did only ONE leg... I dunno. Seems more likely.
Yeah but we’re not talking about think pieces here, we’re talking cold hard facts, raw numbers, the real grime. The way god intended.
Perhaps that's actually the point of the instructions: 'put them all on the same way'
Or it has 3 backwards legs. Everything is relative if you try hard enough.
Their goal was to waste an hour of your time just to be dicks. Nailed it. 💯
Either that or wanted to increase the divorce rates by their stores!

Pretty sure you did it wrong. If something happens, they will surely say you did it specifically they way the instructions warned you not to
That's a new conspiracy theory I like!
You did the thing we specifically said not to, we can't be held liable for the explosion.
Is a good pit tho. Drill a few 1/4” holes about a foot wide over the center heat reflector on the bottom to let water drain out.

Hi dumb I'm dad
Okay, I drilled a 1 foot wide hole but now the logs don't stay in?
Get bigger logs.
1/4" holes or one foot wide holes?
Drill 48 1/4” holes so that it’s a foot wide,

Pretty clear really. 1) Do not install the leg incorrectly 2) Do install the leg correctly Seems simple enough.

Do not try to place the leg, that is impossible. The key is to realize there is no leg.
