There’s nothing like finding something unexpected. Even if you’re not the first to discover it, there’s a certain thrill in looking at things a little closer and being rewarded for your efforts.
If you haven’t made any interesting discoveries lately, let this list be your proxy.
RELATED STORIES
Plate problems.
I always thought the good people at the styrofoam plate factory never made mistakes but I guess there’s a first time for everything.
Snek?
The woodgrain in this hardwood flooring could take on many shapes. In this case, it looks like a happy little snake or caterpillar.
Tough break.
This poor moth flew into a printer, died, and got printed on. It was quite the saga for the little guy.
Vintage.
Have you ever seen a Twix wrapper like this? If you have, you were probably alive during the Reagan years. This nearly 40-year-old wrapper was found randomly in a home.
Tough tree.
I don’t know how tenable this in on a long-term basis but seeing a tree that’s reinforced with stone certainly defies expectations.
Okay, fine.
I don’t know why this person was so possessive of these drill bits but they made their feelings very clear.
Hidden treasure.
Well, it isn’t treasure, actually. This is what a landlord found in the bottom of a vent after renting out a property for more than thirty years.
Just dial 7.
This yard stick is clearly vintage. How vintage is it? Well, the hardware store it’s advertising has a one -digit phone number (it’s 7, in case you want to give it a ring).
Rare variant.
This wafer-free Kit-Kat can be viewed two ways: the pessimist would feel robbed of the crispy wafer goodness, while the optimist would welcome the extra milk chocolate.
Surprise roommates.
We need to preserve bee habitats. They make honey, pollinate flowers, and leave us alone for the most part. Still, you probably don’t want a hive in your ceiling.
Last vestige of summer.
This autumn leaf has retained its summer coloration in just one section. I’ve never seen a leaf that does this before.
Unicorns exist.
This is a pony that stopped in the perfect position to make it look like a unicorn. At least, that’s what the photographer says. I think the jury is still out.
Love you more.
This photographer was sitting by a tranquil pond, looking at the waving grass, when they saw a sign: the word LOVE, clearly spelled out in the tall grass.
Bonus!
Manufacturing glitches can cause our favorite processed treats to take on some weird characteristics. Just look at this extra-long piece of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Cookie floof.
This looks, from any other angle, like a white cat with some dark splotches. But if you get the chance for tummy rubs, you’ll see a hidden cookie in the tummy.
Worlds collide.
This Roku remote has a Blockbuster Video button. I had no idea the era of Blockbuster coincided — even briefly — with the era of on-demand video.
Not a hotel.
Imagine walking into this hotel lobby and looking for a room, only to be told that it’s a hospital. Apparently, it was originally designed to be a hotel.
A thermometer’s a themometer.
The thermometer in this random vehicle is just an off-the-shelf meat thermometer that resides in a hole in the dashboard.
Send an SOS to the world.
We don’t know what it says, but there’s a message inside this bottle that’s embedded in a brick wall. I wonder what the story here is.
Easter egg.
This is an extreme close-up of a Hot Wheels car. For some reason, there’s a diecast rat eating a diecast pizza in the front.
