Viral optical illusion: Is this a 2D building? Netizens are confused!

Have you ever seen a real-life 2D building? This viral optical illusion image, which seems to be of a 2D building, has left netizens puzzled.

"They just built the glass and said 'ok'," a user humorously remarked. Optical illusions leave you puzzled and eager for an explanation. However, what caught the attention of internet users was an image on Reddit that has now gone viral. But why is this illusion so mind-boggling, you might wonder? Well, at first glance, the building looks like a flat glass sheet, but upon closer inspection, it reveals itself as a 3D structure with a triangular shape.
