The tower looks like it is breaking apart, which your brain refuses to accept. You check the second photo to confirm the whole building really stands that way. A structure that seems to glitch in real life demands a second look, and the click follows.
How the packaging works
Title
The title promises a whole list of buildings this strange.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail shows one glitching tower from two angles as proof.
