Selfie!
Made by cake artist Natalie Sideserf, it’s a fantastic display of talent and skill, but also the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Great job!
“[Fish] bowl knocked upside down.”
I think the fish knocked it over himself in protest of being in a bowl. It’s 2020, put your fish in a proper tank!
“It took me five years to track down (and then visit) the location of this WW2 photo of my grandfather. Montecatini Terme, Italy. 1945 and 2017.”
A fascinating shot, and what a journey it must have been too! A great way to connect with history, especially that of your own family.
“I make relaxing places in 3D. This is my latest render.”
The bizarre thing here is how realistic it is. I almost wasn’t convinced that it was 3D!
“Two identical Lamborghinis crash in Singapore.”
If they could both afford one Lamborghini, here’s hoping they can afford another.
“The vinyl pyramid that store fruit sits on.”
This looks too naked for comfort. Should I be giving it some privacy?
“In Norway, when they have too many apples they set them out so others can enjoy them!”
I do this too! Except I chuck ’em into the field behind my house for the squirrels to eat.
“Eerie purple sky over Wisconsin.”
As explained by the uploader, “A company in north-west Wisconsin that farms salmon and grows produce in a huge greenhouse utilises purple LED lighting during the long winter nights to further their crops. Because the ceiling is clear, all that light escapes and reflects off the clouds.”
“Speaker shrine in Japan that you can Bluetooth your own audio to.”
This is exactly my aesthetic. It’s also a recipe for disaster. I love it.
“The size difference between a new and old one dollar bill.”
What happened in history where everyone collectively decided that money should be smaller?
“Ann Hodges is the only confirmed person in history to have been hit by a meteorite which occurred in 1954.”
People who have been struck by lightning have nothing on her. She apparently kept the meteor for a few years before donating it, as anyone would.
“This is what the tip of a pencil looks like when sharpened by an electric pencil sharpener.”
You mean it’s not completely smooth? Well, this will bother me way too much until the end of time.
“When you drop the milk just right.”
How sharp is that shoe rack? You might want to get some toppers or something before the next thing that falls on it is you .

I used to do low-level theater tech work and you would not believe the amount of effort that goes on backstage to make the front end look all pretty.
“Light towers in [Alaska].”
The most beautiful natural phenomenons seem to happen in the most extreme places, weather-wise.
“My dog’s shampoo is tested on humans first.”
This actually makes so much sense, I can’t believe I haven’t seen it before. If it’s not safe for us, there’s no way it could be safe for our pets!
“World’s oldest McDonald’s in Downey, California, opened in 1953.”
And somehow the original mascot is less creepy than the current one.
“The ring mirror in my hotel bathroom reflects differently off my glasses since each eye has its own prescription.”
So one eye makes your vision more oval while the other keeps it a circle. Got it.
“[…] 5+years ago, [this] happened at Busch Gardens Tampa, played one game and managed this.”
The uploader went on to share more details, “They almost didn’t give it to me but did […]. From that day if you notice if you go there now, all crane games with prizes don’t have tabs anymore cause of me.”
“An Ashtray My Parents Had in the Back of a Cupboard.”
Burger King didn’t actually ban smoking inside until 1993 !
It makes you wonder what other currently widely accepted things will be banned in the future, like public bathrooms or clear sodas.
