Our brains are constantly analyzing visual input, helping us understand just what it is we’re looking at.
It’s a good system and it also means that when we see something that sticks out like a sore thumb, the brain is bound to let us know about it.
RELATED STORIES
Any zipper works.
Considering the varied sizes of zippers and their teeth, it seems pretty remarkable that this guy can zip different articles of clothing together.
Angled shade.
I wonder if this area gets really windy or something, because that’s the only possible explanation I can think of for these weirdly angled trees.
Imposter.
Well, it isn’t an imposter. It came in an otherwise normal bag of M&M’s. Still, why can’t it just be normal?
Is it still worth one cent?
You can see just how much the stamping machine missed when it was making this penny. It wasn’t even close to being on target.
Not so sweet.
Putting toothpaste in the impulse buy section, rather than candy, is a health-conscious move. Still, it just feels incredibly wrong.
What’s behind the door?
We all associate the number 404 with computer errors. I wonder if entering this roped-off door with 404 on it would be enough to leave our current simulation.
Sweet tat.
The red sticker on this window is reflecting perfectly on this lounging cat. It’s a cool new look, I’ll give him that.
What’s the game plan here?
No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you: that’s a palm tree suspended from a street light. I can’t tell you why any of this is happening.
Bonus.
These Aussies bought a brick of dehydrated soil and found a phone card from India inside. It’s definitely a little odd.
Not very egg-shaped.
This is still technically an egg, since it was laid by a chicken, but it doesn’t look like any egg I’ve ever seen.
Screwception.
This little screw has an even smaller screw embedded in it. I wonder how things like this happen.
AT-AT?
This is apparently an electrical relay box, but I would not be at all surprised if it broke free to join the other AT-ATs.
You look familiar.
This is either a case of Seth Rogen going full method for an upcoming role, or it’s a letter carrier who looks eerily similar.
Maybe just don’t.
Do the instructions on the bottom row show how to correctly run over a small person? Because that’s definitely what it looks like.
All right angles.
This worm got caught in a mat after a rainstorm. Now it looks like it’s playing the old cell phone game, Snake.
Unique bouquet.
This simple bouquet looks nice enough, and that’s before processing the fact that the flowers are growing out of carrots.
Ghost feet.
A reflection trick makes it looks like these sandals are filled with ghostly feet. At least the ghost is staying outside.
When life gives you lemons…
Yeah, yeah, I know — you’re supposed to make lemonade. I just don’t know where to begin with this weird lemon.
Somebody help him.
This shape in the grass is giving me Gumby, or maybe Sour Patch Kid, vibes. It’s also kind of unnerving.
Happy Easter!
Some people like getting chocolate bunnies for Easter. Other people would rather get salami bunnies. Either way, no judgment.
