16+ Pics That Are Shrouded In Mystery Without Some Extra Information

Seriously, you wouldn't be able to no matter how hard you tried because it isn't tea at all.

It's actually solid resin that's only made to look like a cup of tea to make the merchandise in this furniture store look more homey.

Instead, it seems that the minerals from a nearby hot spring made it into the water, which gave it this noticeably bright makeover.

Since they're appearing over a body of water, it's possible for the air around them to be both warm and cool. And as that air shifts, it influences how these clouds are shaped.

In this case, we can see that more cool air is sinking here than warm air is rising, so there's more cloud at the bottom than the top.

In the case of this skyscraper in Singapore, however, all that plant life is here by design. It was apparently added to help cool the surrounding area.

As for why it doesn't look so great anymore, the uploader's friend received a cake that looked like Gumby for her 18th birthday and decided to keep it in the fridge.

That decision was made 10 years ago. Yeah, this cake is a decade old.

That's because it's a wax statue of a child with cyclopia, a disease which results from a mutation in the Sonic Hedgehog Gene Regulator (yes, that's really what it's called).

What makes it so sad isn't just that a baby is born with one eye in the middle of their face, but rather that it's impossible for one to survive this mutation for long.

And the secret to its wondrous aesthetic is as ingenious as it is nightmarish to actually put together. The interior is actually a collage of millions of tiny shards of mirror that reflect light in an unfathomable number of directions at once.

Because rather than being a sign of undiscovered life, these tracks just show how badly some small animal lost a fight with an owl.

This seating arrangement was actually set up in a luggage store so customers can see how well their prospective purchases fit into actual overhead bins and under-seat compartments.

More specifically, the idea to add different surfaces to each square was intended to make the puzzle's pieces stand out for the visually impaired.

According to Atlas Obscura, bicycles as we know them were a relatively new invention in 1896 and Second Lieutenant James A. Moss wanted to add them to the military's repertoire.

While his higher-ups in the army approved of the idea at first, they weren't impressed by how much the soldiers under Moss' command spent as much time walking their bikes as riding them while on a test run from Fort Missoula, Montana to St. Louis, Missouri. Thus, the project was scrapped.

After they finally had a successful attempt, however, they quickly found out what that reason was. A now crispy spider had apparently taken up residence inside the lighter.

Not the best housing choice, as it turns out.

With that in mind, it suddenly becomes a lot less surprising to see a chef from that time working on a sugar model of the plane.

It just turns out that it's possible for a fish known as the Christmas wrasse to naturally appear like this. It makes it easy to understand how it got its name.

It also does a lot to express why it's so fortunate for us that the creatures don't have an appetite for people.

The line between majestic and terrifying can be thin sometimes.

Yes, that's apparently a little pearl that someone failed to notice while they were cooking these oysters.

I wonder if it's worth anything?

In reality, you could probably visit it right now if you wanted. That's because someone simply took a picture of the inside of a toilet paper roll.

However, as they started to tear the house down, they soon realized that it was actually a log cabin from the 18th century with modern paneling placed over it.

This was likely a response to widespread groping issues that women often experience in intermingled train cars.

Since trains in major Japanese cities tend to be crowded even by the standards of a public train, it's often difficult to tell who's actually responsible for a given assault. And so, this solution is supposed to prevent the problem altogether.

As we can see, this ruler network is being propped up by the one he's actually holding and taking just one away will likely wreck the whole thing.

How did he do that?
