It’shot in Japan . Hot enough to melt a dashboard rubber duck into a forlorn pool of gooey plastic . And hot enough to make one thousand of masses captive on prove or disproving the legitimacy of a now - viral tweet .

The initial tweet , posted yesterday and already garnering tight to 500,000 retweets , depict a small unripened duck buckle under to the heat and becoming the flat - confront incarnation of humid summertime stagnancy . It reads “ This is the worst , I ca n’t believe it . ” But take a look at those two photos again . The radio appear the same . The duck and duck’s egg puddle are the same color . But does n’t the top of the dashboard look … unlike ?

Some people sure think so ! And they react by marking up the viral photograph with the kinds ofnumbers , scribbles , and doubtfulness marksmost commonly associated with the “ scandalous validation ! ! ” flick made by folks who are dead convinced the moonlight landing was wangle by a crypto - Hollywood cabal on a New Jersey soundstage .

A cabal possibility ( resembling a detail - orient Riffian onThe Dress ) was think of , with vie factions of Japanese Twitter drug user attempting to show how these two picture absolutely are / dead can not be from the same car .
Our age bracket over at Jalopnik square up the fomite to be a Honda That ’s ( no thatisn’t a literal error ) and , sure enough , the car’sbrochuredepicts a adaptation of the fascia seen in the tweet . But who are you going to trust , the car ’s manufacturing business or people on Twitter with a caboodle of complimentary time ?

“ To all those who are saying the two pictures are show unlike object , calculate at this . I think ( 3 ) is a vertical angle . Please check my work , ” drug user @saw_spla replied , mocking up a bridge player - drawn multi - angle interior of the That ’s , gross with a color key .
It ’s certainly strong grounds of … something .

Another user , @jaioki_Nono , took it one stride further , however , firing back with a full 3D model .
“ This model is a little rough , ” wrote @jaioki_Nono , “ but to the somebody who comment [ that the motorcar looks like a ] Honda That ’s , is this the original impression you had ? ”

From the model , it seems like the discrepancy between the initial photograph is a result of view foreshortening the top portion of the dashboard in the first image , when in reality it ’s much prospicient and perfectly subject of containing one duck’s egg ’s Charles Frederick Worth of liquid credit card .
I , for one , am reasonably confident — though I ’m not an expert on cars or their associated tchotchkes — and yet the word still rag on across Japanese Twitter . All we can say with self-confidence is that this wo n’t be easy to cleanse up :
