15+ Pics That Showed Us Something We Rarely See

As the uploader wrote, this is because he lives in a humid climate so medical tape wouldn't stick on as well as duct tape does.

But since he's under the care of professional keepers, the tape gets changed often. The googly eye is optional.

And since the spider apparently wasn't able to get away from its creation before this happened, I think we can assume this was the result of a pretty rapid cold snap.

Not only is this a perfect example of a naturally occurring camera obscura, but it likely gives us a sense of how Aristotle and other scholars in the ancient Middle East and China came to witness the phenomenon in the first place.

It's a testament to nature's ability to survive that this sunflower punched through this suburban sidewalk.

However, it's also pretty clear that it wouldn't have been possible without that bed of them in the background.

But as we can see from the photo on the right, this family had a picture of themselves laser engraved into the block to give it three dimensions.

And that's only visible when a light shines directly onto it.

Those units bolted onto the windows are known as "tattletale mirrors" in Sweden and "rumor mirrors" in Finland.

Apparently, the names come from the fact that people in these houses can use them to look at who's walking down the street without showing themselves. And then they presumably gossip about them.

And much like the hardy desert plants themselves, these fruit are supposedly uncanny in how resilient they are.

Even cutting one up doesn't necessarily guarantee that you've stopped it from growing.

This is normally the time where I might be inclined to say "weird flex but OK" but I tend not to do that with feats that I know I couldn't accomplish in a million years.

However, that's exactly where one finds this picturesque view with these beautiful mountains.

However, you should know that this area is apparently crawling with mosquitoes before you get too excited.

To be fair, one could likely claim that Migaloo here was the only such whale the world had ever seen 22 years ago when he was first discovered in Australia.

However, as Smithsonian Magazine reported, another albino humpback was discovered in Norway back in 2012 and the territory Migaloo is known to frequent even features two other albino specimens.

Migaloo is definitely the most outgoing, though.

This resulted in the formation of these apparently glass-like stones that can be seen littered throughout the road in the uploader's other photos.

According to its manufacturer Splinter Works, that's because it's made from carbon fibre rather than porcelain.

It also costs tens of thousands of dollars so it's definitely not an impulse buy.

However, I seriously doubt its adventures will turn out to be as mysterious as what the people on that show went through.

But as far as we know for now, there weren't any photos of that kind of outing at all until someone took this one at a Scottish pub in 1844.

It would be a big relief to see that the storm didn't damage anything but you could definitely be forgiven for thinking a Leprechaun might be nearby if this is the sight you were greeted with.

You might not be used to seeing the X-Men underboss with this dorky headgear but it was part of his design in the late '80s and early '90s.

However, that's not the amazing part of how this toy survived since 1991. Leaving a battery in a toy for that long is usually a recipe for a nasty leak or explosion inside of it but this battery apparently never even died.

As we can see, its bizarre position instead led its main limbs to grow upwards and appear as mini-trees rather than the standard growth we can observe in its neighbors.

Because if the iconic shark wasn't shot in just the right way, this may have been what we were looking at instead.

At the very least, it would require some rewrites that involve Brody, Quint, and Hooper facing off against a robo-shark.

Yeah, it would appear that the years have not been kind to it. I can see it making quite the movie monster now, though.

It's kind of hard to tell whether those tourists would be so eager to traverse it if they could see how terrifying its construction looks, though.

I'm just glad we can't see how far this goes down.
