15+ Strange Finds That Made Someone's Day A Little More Interesting

Normally, a discarded bag of Fritos wouldn't be noteworthy at all, but we usually can't date the trash we come across all the way back to 1981.

It's hard to tell whether this was someone's idea of a time capsule or whether a litterbug simply stood here almost 40 years ago.

They called this one a conjoined daisy, but whether it's actually two stuck together or just one really big one, it definitely stands out.

I suppose that when someone's face is as distinct as E.T.'s, we can only expect to find him in the strangest places.

And since trees can end up in all sorts of strange shapes, one was bound to look like him at some point.

So yes, I guess we're supposed to assume that somebody was carrying around an armless Johnny Bravo toy 16 years after the show ended and thought this would be the perfect place for it.

O...K?

They were seriously worried that someone took a crap in them and left them there, but ended up even more confused when that wasn't the case.

I guess somebody just decided to swear off pants?

The people who live next to this tree are likely drying their beef in the sun to preserve it into a kind of jerky.

Those two steps may not seem like much, but anyone who's ever messed up a leg knows what a welcome sight this little bar can be.

I'm guessing they meant it's a weed killer that looked like a flame thrower to them and not one that literally sets the yard on fire.

It would take a full gardening meltdown to buy that second product idea.

That's because the parts of the tree necessary to sustain its life are found between the bark and the wood. The rest is more structural.

Although it's cool that this means a tree can survive something this intense, it also explains why stripping a tree's bark is seriously bad for it.

Unfortunately, this one might end up exploding regardless of the uploader's intentions because it was on the other side of a locked door when they took this picture.

And even putting aside its bright coloration, this goldenrod crab spider was probably the best squatter they could have asked for.

Any pests that hang around here probably won't last long now.

These are most definitely insect eggs that had already opened, but the question was which bugs now invaded this home.

The picture quality makes it a little difficult to tell, but the best guesses so far are either that snails or moth larvae came out of them.

More specifically, this pattern is the calling card of an insect known as a leaf miner. These can refer to moths, flies, sawflies, or some types of beetle, but all are known to burrow into and eat away at leaves in their larval stage.

Like other "flying" squirrels they glide from tree to tree and sleep in them, but this one takes the extra cautionary step of immediately moving to the other side of the tree when it lands in case it's being pursued.

This was also a time when the desert had a lot more vegetation, so whoever engraved these was likely just drawing what they were seeing.

While this letter with no address would normally be considered undeliverable, it's supposedly more helpful to direct postal workers this way because many towns in the nation have well-marked roads, but often lack numbers on individual houses.

If the sprinklers happen to run while temperatures are freezing, the water they spray will freeze into these crystals soon after they actually hit the grass.

It's like the sprinklers are making their own freezing rain.

Other than looking trippy, the intention behind its design is apparently to reduce vibrations from traffic as vehicles cross the bridge.

At first, it was actually clear and colorless. However, it seems that exposure to the sun from its position on this windowsill has turned it pink over time.

It seems like an improvement to me.

It's hard to tell how long this one has been lying around, but it's managed to build up a little ecosystem that's mainly composed of red reindeer moss.
