- 9GAG, an image-sharing website, just tweeted a brainteaser that's tearing the internet apart.
- The tweet asks if readers can tell whether a photo is of a rotated beach or a close-up of a bright blue door.
- Obviously, the internet had opinions, but a conclusive answer was decided on.
On August 27, 9GAG tweeted a photo of what appeared to be a sideways photo of a beach — or a bright blue door next to a white wall.
Is this a door, or a beach?

If you can't see the beach, try tilting your head to the left — the bright blue is the sky, the turquoise is the ocean, and the white is the sand. If you can't see the door — the wall is the white, the turquoise is the door-frame, and the bright blue is the actual door.
The internet, obviously, was divided.

But the internet is also full of great detectives. One eagle-eyed Twitter user pointed out that the photo had been altered to take out the beach-goers, and that's why it was confusing.
This image has already been altered to remove the people who were bathing in the beach. Here's the original pic.twitter.com/tjmRcMsJJe

No matter what it is — our brains still hurt.
