20 Confusing Pics I'd Be Surprised If You Can Wrap Your Head Around

No one likes to be messed with. But at least when it's a picture messing with you (rather than, like, a bully), it's easier to appreciate. These pics might weird you out a bit. They might even blow your mind. But hey, no need to freak out — they all make sense in their own way.

...at least I think they do.

Above the clouds.

Reddit | redvakho

The person who posted this says it's the view from a road on top of a mountain, but I think they've actually gotten their hands on a flying car prototype.

Wait a second.

Reddit | StygianUnknown

Alright, a second glance at this photo shows what's going on. But initially, it really looked like a two-headed person along with some kind of all-legs monstrosity.

Got enough tail?

Reddit | rgaywala

Did you know that a giraffe's tail can be up to eight feet long? Honestly, it doesn't seem that impressive after seeing this cat's seemingly endless tail.

Sweet kicks.

Reddit | CrimsonLawbringer

Yeah, this is a crocodile giving the photographer its best death stare. I'm less concerned by the proximity of the croc's teeth than I am by the fact that it's wearing sneakers.

Render error.

Reddit | tejsax

When the sun rises during a solar eclipse, you'll still get a sunrise. The catch is that you'll get significantly less of the sun than you're used to.

Squishy boi.

Reddit | Kris19275

This is a beluga whale, a creature with plenty of blubber to stay warm in Arctic waters. From below, I'm not sure if it's a chonky whale or just a person in a whale costume.

2D building.

Reddit | JelaniKazu

This kind of reminds me of when you're playing a racing video game. The graphics look great when you're speeding along, but when you stop, you can see that certain assets haven't been properly rendered.

Moon holder.

Reddit | Harman1796

You just know that the photographer of this incredible pic came up with the idea, but then had to wait forever until a night when things aligned perfectly.

The future of wind turbines.

Reddit | Niyi_M

No, they haven't started making turbines with 30 irregular, spiky blades (although that actually sounds kind of cool). This is just a perspective trick. At least, I think it is.

Barking lot.

Reddit | Koteji

You can just tell by this doggo's world-weary expression that traffic is bad today. Anyone who drives to work every day can certainly appreciate what this mutt's going through.

Surprise!

Reddit | cheeseburger365

It must be weird to pick up a can of cream of mushroom soup, only to open it and find that it's red and distinctly tomato-ey. Honestly, given my hatred of cream of mushroom, this seems like a win.

Don't lose your head.

Reddit | Wifeofwes

This cow has a giant head, which makes it all the more perplexing that it doesn't appear to have any kind of body to support that big melon.

Stealth yam.

Reddit | misharalee

It looks like some kind of off-brand banana, or maybe a banana that somebody carved out of wood. Turns out it's a sweet potato that doesn't know how sweet potatoes are supposed to look.

I can't.

Reddit | debarn

Look at those two buildings in the background. Now tell me which one is closer. I've been staring at this pic for ten minutes and I still can't figure it out.

Legs for days.

Reddit | MiWoj2909

The girl in the background is standing on a chair, right? The only alternative is that she's about nine feet tall and has two different sets of knees.

Born to ride.

Reddit | jallend1

This is undeniably an ultrasound photo. But where most photos would show a tiny hand or head or whatever, this one shows...a tiny Evel Knievel inside the womb?

Explosion of nature.

Reddit | genericuser20307832

Reflections on water can get pretty mindbending at times, and this is a perfect example. Is it upside-down or right-side up? All I know is that a) there are many trees, and b) I'm dizzy.

Let's launch off of it.

Reddit | Theccft

This bridge apparently doesn't just end in mid-air, but angles off to create this illusion. Having never seen the other side of it, I wouldn't want to take any chances.

Cartoon world.

Reddit | jsudd007

This building has a bunch of fake windows. Not only are they fake, they've been rendered in a cartoonish style. Now I know how Michael Jordan felt in Space Jam.

Meeting of the minds.

Reddit | doggyjohn

There are two guys on this motorcycle, but they aren't bowing their heads together. The guy in the back is carrying a mirror, giving his forehead a convenient resting spot.
