This baffling carpet is an optical illusion that disorients everyone who walks on it

The INSIDER Summary:

• A carpet design from a French retailer is going viral.
• It's an optical illusion that makes it look like you're standing on an uneven surface instead of a flat one.
• The photo of it originated from a Twitter account that mocks bad retail store designs.

If there's anything we can all agree on about carpets, it's that they should be easy to walk on.

Apparently, one store in France disagrees.

One branch of the French retailer FNAC — a company sells electronics and entertainment products — has a weird carpet that works as an optical illusion. It's disorienting to look at.

The floor itself is flat, but the curvy lines make it look like there are craters you need to avoid.

The carpeting was called to attention by the Twitter account WHS Carpet, which calls to attention bad and bizarre flooring in different stores. It also frequently mocks the British retailer W.H. Smith, which sells books and stationery.

The black carpet with curvy lines went viral when it was tweeted out by Muselk, a YouTube and Twitch gaming star.

His post inspired other people to share other crazy carpets they've seen.

They're all pretty fun. But please, carpet designers, we just want to walk around without being terrified. It's the least you can do.
