What does the “Le troisième pied” meme mean?

Where does the “Le troisième pied” meme come from?
The "third leg" meme comes from an image where the position of a person's legs, combined with the camera angle, creates the illusion of an extra foot between the two real legs. This kind of optical illusion regularly circulates on social media, where people enjoy spotting and sharing these deceptive photos. Its card, numbered 4417, is worth 20 MemeCoins when recycled in the game.
