It doesn’t matter how wise we might think we are when our eyes are still perfectly capable of deceiving us. True, logic eventually takes over and re-orients things accordingly.
But for just a moment, it’s an absolute trip to see something that looks exactly like something else.
Hello?

You’re looking at a tray of bacon grease, which also, somehow, includes a picture-perfect portrait of Lionel Richie. Yes, Lionel, it is you we’re looking for.
Gone squatchin’.

The shadow from this ordinary spray bottle looks suspiciously like the famously debunked video of Bigfoot supposedly walking away from the camera.
Get a room, you two.

There’s nothing like going for a hike in the desert only to happen upon two cacti in a passionate embrace.
Butt out.

I don’t know if posts that look like giant, discarded cigarettes would encourage people to quit or convince ex-smokers to light up again.
Some cats don’t need your help.

If there’s one thing I know about snipers, it’s that they love trees. If there’s one thing I know about cats, it’s that they can be evil. I’d be careful here.
Kneeling in prayer.

Someone split open this wood and found the silhouette of a praying monk inside. It’s a peaceful scene, really.
Mayo leaf.

You may find mayo gross but it’s made with simple, natural ingredients. It can also take on the form of a delicate fallen leaf if you spill it just right.
Big hug.

This banana pepper is a particularly bulbous, weird pepper. It looks almost like two people who are locked in a passionate embrace.
Robot butler.

I wonder if this bar cart was intentionally designed to look like a Jetsons -esque robo-butler or if it’s just a happy coincidence.
Rawr.

From above, this harbor looks almost like an angry, wide-eyed monster with a mouth full of jagged teeth.
I’ll huff and I’ll puff.

This turkey fillet looks suspiciously like a wolf’s head in profile. It’s probably fine, unless you’re one of the three little pigs.
Stay very still.

Is this a jalapeno pepper, or is it a T-rex? I mean, it’s obviously a jalapeno pepper. But a man can dream, can’t he?
Bash it good.

I can imagine seeing this apparently massive spider and feeling my heart stop. It’s just the lamp’s shadow but it’s still freaky.
Quack.

I don’t know what kind of cart this is but I’m absolutely certain that there’s a little duck holding one of its wheels.
Dragon down.

There’s something about dead wood that has a way of looking like a dragon’s head. Here’s just one example.
Look closer.

Have you ever noticed that the iconic Chicago Bulls logo, when viewed upside-down, looks a lot like a robot reading a book while seated on a bench?
Cheer up.

This poor post. It’s doing its job but it looks tremendously unhappy to be doing so. I guess I wouldn’t be much happier if I was in its position.
Bigly resemblance.

This is the inside of a dog’s ear but it looks weirdly like our 45th president, no? Maybe it’s just me.
I’m not your buddy, guy.

These are vents on a ferry, used for…vent stuff, I suppose. But to me, they look a lot like the Canadians depicted on South Park .
Frozen forest.

The delicate edge of this piece of ice looks a lot like a forest. The detail on display here is actually remarkable.
