Life’s little surprises help keep things interesting. Sometimes, these surprises are delightful. Sometimes, they’re horrifying. It would be nice to know beforehand sometimes, but then things wouldn’t be a surprise.
Happy little mussel.
This Kermit the Frog-looking mussel has a happy expression, aided in no small part by its goofy googly eyes. Yeah, I realize the “eyes” are just cracks and the mussel may have died in agony, but let’s not focus on that.
Time to burn the PS4.
If you thought this looked like a snake slithering into the back of a Playstation 4, you’d be absolutely correct. It sucks, but look on the bright side: the PS5 will be out soon enough.
A rock of pure flavor.
I guess sometimes Cheetos will include a giant rock of solidified cheese dust with their snacks. I’m not sure whether this is a weird manufacturing error, or a Willy Wonka-type situation.
RELATED STORIES
Thanks, original builder!
Sure, your house may be old, but is it old enough that it’s got graffiti from 1847 on its support beams? Side note: handwriting sure was pretty back in the day.
Why?
There are lots of ways to jazz up your property. Putting a sun-bleached Grimace statue on the lawn might not be everyone’s idea of good decor, but to each their own.
There they are!
This man underwent surgery and afterwards was unable to find his dentures. Eight days later, an x-ray machine helpfully revealed the hiding spot. That explains the whole lump in the throat sensation.
Old school.
This rustic-looking snowshoe actually dates back hundreds of years, possibly to the Viking era. It was found perfectly preserved in snow in the Norwegian countryside, with rope and knots still intact.
Medical kits were a lot different back then.
Doctors and nurses would probably find this century-old nurse’s kit pretty interesting to see how things have changed. One of the big changes is that kits in 2019 don’t (usually) contain a vial of cocaine.
Careful…
If you live somewhere with a lot of history, you may dig up battlefield relics from time to time. This is a grenade that dates back to the Irish Civil War of the early 1920s.
Welp, your stairs are cursed.
“So that’s why the landlord had his foot on that spot the entire time,” writes the original poster. In case you can’t make it out, that stair is literally made out of an old tombstone.
He is risen.
People dealing with a crisis of faith might implore their chosen deity to show themselves. In this case, Jesus has decided to humbly appear in a laundry basket.
When floor wheels were all the rage.
Some excavation revealed this massive wagon wheel-looking thing in the floor of an old garage. Turns out it’s a turntable from the early days of driving, back when cars couldn’t reverse and needed to be manually turned around.
Big deal, I see pennies all the ti-

This is one of those images that looks super boring until you realize that there’s something incredible. This tiny frog must be about two millimeters from head to toe.
A glitch at the Skittles factory.
That’s a blue Skittle. Same Skittle shape and size, same Skittle ‘S’ stamped on the outside. The only problem? A bag of original Skittles isn’t supposed to contain any blue ones.
Nightmare fuel.
Sure, dressing up as your favorite character seems like a great idea for a Simpsons-themed trivia night. But then again, while the idea might be solid, the execution is utterly horrifying.
When you realize you’re art.
The woman who posted this was surprised to find a painting of…herself hanging in the Berlin Museum. Sure, it’s unexpected. But it also might be a bit flattering to find yourself in a gallery.
Untouched.
This storage lot in the bowels of a New York building was once the site of a promotional shoot featuring a bunch of vintage cars. Then it was shut down and forgotten until recently.
Thanks, I guess.
This message in a bottle also contains the ashes of a man who apparently loved to travel. The money is so the finder can call his widow. Nice idea, but I don’t want to deal with a stranger’s ashes while I’m on vacation.
Only in Australia.
I scrolled down through the comments of this post to confirm that, yes, this epic bird vs. snake battle did in fact take place in Australia. But really, I already knew that in my heart.
Postcards were weird back in the day.
It’s pretty cool finding a relic of the past, like this old-school postcard. But man, reading this thing is a bummer. I think this Dutchman really resents his dog.
