It doesn’t take much of a change to yield dramatically different results. Sometimes this change is intentional, other times it’s anything but.
Let’s look at some innocent mistakes that drastically changed up the way things looked.
RELATED STORIES
Like two pictures.
These trees in Hungary have been affected by a big spill of liquid waste, resulting from a broken dam. The waste was mixed with red mud and dyed the lower half of all trees in the area.
Explosion.
Everyone’s had a bottle explode in the freezer at one time or another, but the explosion doesn’t usually look as dramatic as this. I’m amazed the top of this bottle is still (relatively) attached.
Why you wear helmets.
A motorcycle accident can completely change the way your helmet looks, to the point that it’s unwearable. Better the helmet than your head, though.
Electrifying.
I had no idea a fallen electrical line could create such pretty patterns on the ground. They may be pretty but the event that caused them could be deadly.
Reverse Yoda.
I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing one of these ugly Yoda hats but I might make an exception for the reverse-printed one, just for the rarity value.
What happened here?
Mannequins are an effective way for a store to show off clothes. They’re also an effective way to make it look like your store was the scene of a terrible accident.
Almost art.
It’s hard to even know what you’re looking at here. This is a computer monitor after it was accidentally smashed. It’s weirdly beautiful, in a way.
Free lumber.
This massive shipment of 2x4s fell off a ship and came ashore at this English beach, making it look like it was covered in gigantic toothpicks.
TP trouble.
I didn’t know that toilet paper could be cut wrong but apparently, it can. It looks a little weird but it represents bonus TP.
No one fessed up.
Here’s an interesting one: this Belgian water reservoir has stood at a 13-degree angle since the day it was finished.
No one’s sure who made the mistake but it’s become a tourist attraction in the years since.
Pretty bird.
You know you’re an artist when you randomly throw down two brush strokes and come up with a fully realized bird painting.
Big oops.
Here’s an epic mistake: years ago, a couple of dudes in Turkmenistan lit this natural gas outlet, thinking it would burn out quickly. Nearly 50 years later, it’s still burning.
Hearts of winter.
This person got to look out their window and see double hearts, all because their neighbor backed into their parking space in a certain way.
Double birds.
While pouring this latte, a little bird image came together completely by accident. As the latte got drunk, a second bird image came into being.
Use the right paper.
This trippy image is the result of printing a photo onto the glossy, non-photo side of a piece of photo paper.
Rainbow Road.
If you combine brand new tarmac with the right kind of polarized lenses, you too might be able to glimpse a shimmering rainbow road.
Not a crime scene.
Someone shook together hot Jell-O along with protein powder for some strange reason. The container blew up and now there’s protein-infused Jell-O goo everywhere.
Not how you fork.
One of these is a fork, obviously. The other was intended to be a fork, but a few crucial steps were missed along the way.
Get out of the bath.
How wrinkly can your hands get in the bath? Well, here’s what they might look like after an hour or so in the tub.
Uality.
If the ‘Q’ in ‘quality’ can’t even stay in place on the wall, it really throws the quality of everything in the store into question.
