Garnering over 78,000 likes, the post is flooded with netizens trying to understand how the picture was taken. While some came up with hilarious explanations, others were simply amused by the bizarre optical illusion that made the Bidens look like giants.

According to PetaPixel, it was due to the camera lens which made the Carters look tiny while sitting next to the Bidens. The illusion was caused due to the wide lens’ distortion.

Here’s a quick example of removing the extreme lens distortion. A wide angle lens causes everything on the outer edges of the image to expand, and center to contract — the small room made a wide angle lens necessary. pic.twitter.com/L9rVS5Xx0U

Adorable! But am I the only one who thinks this looks like a tiny doll museum, and Joe and Jill are giants?

Bahahahahhaa!!! The concept is hilarious but the fact that there is a hand coming out of Jill’s head is what takes the cake.

This is just exactly what I expect the Carters house to look like perfect grandparents house.
