Sometimes, it feels like every day is the same, just repeating the same pattern as yesterday, and the day before. This monotony can be hard to shake, but if you see something moderately weird and unexpected, it can help shake you out of the doldrums.
Archway.
I have no idea what kind of witchcraft needed to be performed to bend this tree in such a precise manner, but in any case, it’s a real conversation piece.

Scale model.
No, this isn’t just a pic of some Ford’s dashboard. It’s a pic of an extremely tiny Ford’s extremely detailed dashboard. Look at the coin for a sense of scale.
Hall of knives.
This expertly curated display at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport shows, at a glance, the terrifying things that people have tried to smuggle aboard planes over the years.
Is that a Halloween prop?
I guess spiderwebs are good at catching ash as well as flies, at least judging from the aftermath of this small fire.
Hummingbird plant.
Just look at the plucked leaves, along with the intact plant, and you’d swear the whole thing was made of tiny green hummingbirds.
Slenderman.
I know shadows get longer the lower the sun is in the sky, but this is just ridiculous. Is this guy eight feet tall or what?
Sea stars.
If you comb through the beach sand in Okinawa, Japan, you’ll find these little stars. They’re not grains of sand, but little exoskeletons of tiny marine life.
My kind of vending machine.
The internet is full of pics of amazing vending machines, but I never seem to see them in real life. Ah well. Maybe I’ll find this cake machine someday.
Reclaimed.
This old cemetary in Poland features a statue of Christ that’s slowly, but surely, being swallowed whole by this tree.
It’s like erosion.
Much like the force of water over hundreds of millions of years has sculpted the Grand Canyon, the force of hand sanitizer has eaten away at this tile over the course of a year.
Guess I’m staying in.
Pics like this are a Canadian (or Minnesota) classic. Jokes aside, it would really suck to be housebound because of this.
My question: why?
Shrek is more meme than movie at this point, which might explain why an evidently talented carver put time into making this thing.
Just look for the big cabinet.
If you’re a furniture store, it just makes sense to mark your location with a cartoonishly gigantic piece of furniture.
Weird mirage.
There’s a perfectly good scientific explanation for why the building across the street is perfectly projected on the wall, but I have no idea what it is.
Old-school fat shaming.
This door to the dining area at Portugal’s Alcobaça Monastery is designed to only let the skinnier monks through.
Delicate balance.
Balloons pop easily, but they also have a weird way of squishily holding their shape. I don’t know how these balloons survived their encounter with a car door.
Fool’s gold.
This random piece of rock has a random chunk of pyrite in it. It might not be gold, but it’s still eye-catching.
Forked tail.
If you live in the southwest, it’s ordinary to see lizards scuttling around. But finding one with two tails is a tad unusual.
Driving me batty.
This little bat, for some reason, just can’t get enough of this woodpile. So long as it stays out of the house, I guess it’s cool.
Slam it!
You’d have to be older than a certain age to recognize this Pog slammer from 1994. I’d try to explain how cool Pogs are, but don’t think I would convince anyone.
