Sometimes we lose track of how truly narrow our own worldview is. The lives we live are so specific and limited, there are millions of things we’ll never get to see or experienced based solely on our upbringing!
That’s not a bad thing, if anything it’s great, because now you can be introduced to so many new things! This list helps with that by showing you tiny, interesting things you may not have seen before, or might never have had the chance to until now.
RELATED STORIES
“Peeled citrus fruits.”
When you go down the line of citrus fruits, some are normally peeled, like oranges and such. Then you get to lemons, limes, grapefruits even, and come to realize that they’re almost never peeled. This picture then feels…exposing.
“In Christchurch NZ, the tram runs through the shopping plaza.”
Someone in the comments shared more details about this place, saying it’s less of a shopping plaza and more of a hotel actually, which must be awfully convenient for the guests!
“This add-on camera for my cell phone back in the day.”
The work one had to go to just to take a simple photo way back when, and yes, that is considered way back when now. Were there people taking selfies with this thing, or was that a smartphone-era phenomenon?
“The [Dairy Queen] I went to has ‘chewable’ ice.”
I’m well aware that they mean ‘chewable’ as in the smaller chunks instead of large cubes, but the thought of biting into a piece of ice and it being chewy is giving me some bad shivers.
“Table hockey puck after about four and a half years of playing. New one on the left for comparison.”
Wow, y’all must have played that game a lot for the old puck to essentially be half the size. Or, maybe, every time you play you just beat the ever-living hell out of it. It’s a miracle the players’ sticks aren’t broken.
“Found a rock in the shape of a skull on a Scottish Mountain.”
It’s in the shape of a skull, but the way that skulls look in cartoons. Like if you looked at it too long, you’d enter a flashback sequence and see a friendly cartoon dragon drinking from this stream once upon a time.
“My phone vibrated when I was taking this photo.”
It took me a moment to spot what the phone vibrating had to do with anything, but once you see just one wiggle, you start to see all of them.
“My New Jeep came with a sasquatch on the window.”
That’s nice! Now you have a buddy to take with you on all your Jeep journeys. He always wanted to see the world and you always wanted some company, it’s a win-win!
Unusually cruel.
“In the Philadelphia airport someone put a sticker of a plug socket on the wall. It appears to have tricked a lot of people, considering the wear.”
To those who put these up in airports, know you are among the worst human beings alive. Thank you.
“This warped brick in my apartment.”
Thankfully someone in the comments explained why this might have happened. They wrote, “It came from the factory that way and all the bricklayers laughed as they put it in. I’m a bricklayer. I know.”
“The ‘American’ section in an English supermarket.”
Knowing that this is how the rest of the world sees America feels both apt and insulting, and I’m not even American! Though I do have to question the giant jar of what looks like pickled hot dogs, what’s that about.
“$1000 of brand new vs circulated $1 bills. Sharpie for scale.”
This is probably more due to them being folded and unfolded, thus adding texture and gaps and making the stack appear larger, but I can’t help but think that’s a good inch of just…grime.
“It’s April 1st and my neighbors still have their Christmas tree up.”
They’ve had it up so long they might as well consider themselves early to next year. The more shocking part is that they still light it, are they a “Christmas every day” family?
“My coworker drags the front of his foot when he walks.”
Nuh uh, he does a lot more than that. He grinds his foot when he walks. He holds his boot up to a belt sander with every step. He spends his spare time filing his shoes down.
“Somebody added a cast-iron skillet to their brick wall.”
Is this a passion thing, like this person just loves cooking so much they want every passerby to know, or was it an unfortunate situation where they ran out of bricks and only had the pan left to work with?
“I won a wine casket at an event that was donated by a funeral home.”
Do you put the wine in before you drink it, or is it meant for afterward so you can mourn the loss? Either way, it looks pretty dang comfortable, that bottle will feel nice and swaddled until next you open it.
“An origami crane I made with a cool mint stip.”
The patience this must require is both shocking and a little frightening. You seem like the type of person that’s always calm, but when you do get angry, you release the fury of 1000 hungry lions.
“My new pan can officially be used for home defense.”
You never know with pans these days. Some are meant to be thin and light but would fold in half with one smack. You need a good, solid, sturdy pan for burglar whapping, which this seems perfect for.
“Top of a building at University of California San Diego.”
That poor house, it looks like it was picked up in a tornado and dropped on top of that building. Or, alternatively, if the house from Up lost a lot of steam real early on and just settled there.
“So-called ‘Blood rain’ evening last week in Gibraltar. No edit.”
I’m sorry, the so-called what? The who? According to the comments, it was red due to sand from the Sahara having been mixed in, but they truly could not have chosen a scarier name for it.
