The world is full of fascinating (albeit random) things. From people, to nature, to stuff uncovered from years and decades ago, there are so many cool little things to see.
I don't know about you, but I'm so grateful for the people who take time out of their lives to take pictures of fascinating things and post them online. They provide us with just enough entertainment to get through another work day.
I don't think I've ever seen a gift certificate quite like these ones. They're so cute! And it's really cool to see the old Starbucks/coffee shop designs printed on them. I wonder if they're still any good. Then again, they are from 1998, so probably not.
When I first saw this, I thought it was a deepfake or some kind of Photoshopped image. But believe it or not, a zorse is a real animal.
They're the result of breeding a zebra with a horse, and they can look pretty different depending on what breeds are used.
I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of obsessed with that pen chandelier. Like, it looks like a very office appropriate piece of lighting. But it would be such a fun thing to put up in your dining room, too (okay, it probably wouldn't look that good, but let a girl dream!).
This is a pretty common thing for squirrels to do. No, they aren't planking (ugh... remember planking?). They're keeping themselves cool. It's likely that OP caught this squirrel on a hot day, which makes sense now that it's summertime. Still, it's kind of funny when you catch them in the act.
This ketchup packet is giving me so much anxiety. If I ever found one like that in my fast food order, I'd probably try to throw it away or something. I wouldn't want to risk opening it, only to get ketchup all over myself. But at least it makes for a cool photo.
Imagine the odds of that. The seeds for that little plant just so happened to end up in the handle of the shovel. It's kind of cute, though.
Apparently, that plant is called a wood sorrel, and it's actually edible. I wonder if OP is going to try it.
This is, like, one of those once in a lifetime occurrences. The odds of this berry falling at the exact angle and speed to be able to impale itself on the edge of a paper bag is probably infinitesimal.
I'm so glad we have photographic evidence that this did, in fact, happen at least once in the world.
If you look closely at the image, you can kind of make out a head on the left side, and the body in the middle and towards the right. A lot of commenters see the bear, but some also see a lion or dog. What do you see?
Having a tattoo in the exact spot where you'd get injections isn't really that big of a deal. That is, unless your tattoo has a face like this one here. It looks like Vault Boy approves, even though he's got a patch over his eye.
This photo is satisfying and stress-inducing at the same time. I've definitely had close calls parking in the driveway, but nothing like this. I don't think I'd ever be able to park to anything that close without just fully toppling it over. This is, like, true art.
You may have already noticed the loud buzzing of the cicadas this year. They're a subterranean insect species that comes out once ever 17 years, and 2021 just so happens to be the 17th year since they've been out in these kinds of numbers.
As cool as the phenomenon is, seeing that many of them on a tree like that is uncomfortable.
Okay, am I the only one who missed out on the solar eclipse this month? I didn't even know it was happening until it had already passed! On the plus side, a lot of other people got to see it, and there are so many beautiful photos online. Like this one!
Moths are usually kind of creepy, but this one is actually cute. They're called luna moths, and they only live for around a week. They live just long enough to lay eggs, and that's it. Kind of a sad story for such a beautiful insect.
Did you ever used to try and break your pencils like this as a kid (you know, out of boredom or whatever)? It seemed like an impossible task back in the day, but apparently it is possible. I never would've thought the perfect broken pencil could really exist until now.
Either somebody built stairs for their toys, needed this setup for some kind of tiny photoshoot, or little elves live in that tree and needed a way to get into it. As much as I want to believe, the latter probably isn't the right answer.
Hopefully, that kiwi has rotted past the point of smelling putrid. The last thing I would want after leaving my office space for over a year is to come back to a foul-smelling room. The kiwi looks kind of cool, though. It's like it got mummified or something.
In case you didn't know, copper goes green when it oxidizes. I don't think I've ever seen a copper pipe with that much green on it, though. The left side looks perfectly normal, while the right side looks like something out of a zombie apocalypse movie.
There are a bunch of averages when it comes to human proportions. Average height, weight, features. But having a wingspan that's so much longer than your actual height is not average. It means you have long arms, like this guy here. I bet he can probably reach the top shelf really easily.
Who knows why people do things. Who knows why anyone would bury their television in their yard for someone else to dig up years later. Why would anyone do that? Were they trying to hide something? Cover something up? Did they just really, really hate that television? We'll probably never know.
There's no doubt about it; this frog is working it for the camera. The color-changing gray treefrog can be found in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. Apparently, much of this gray treefrog's day is spent taking somewhat seductive photos. Perhaps mating season is on the horizon, and its Tinder profile needs updating!
Now that's a cosmic brew. Some would say it's out of this world. Okay, bad joke. But seriously, this looks uncannily like a picture of Jupiter. It even has a mark resembling Jupiter's Great Red Spot (Although this one isn't red). Fun fact, The Great Red Spot is caused by the largest anticyclonic storm in the Solar System.
There it is, the plane D.B. Cooper hijacked! Where's all the money? Did he make it out? Okay, so the plane the infamous hijacker was on was actually flying between Oregon and Washington, and the plane itself was a Boeing 727. So what mysteries does this hidden plane wreck hold? Hopefully, everyone was able to parachute to safety!
A perfect example of not only being at the right place at the right time but also having an active imagination while you're there. This puddle goes one step further than being shaped like a dolphin. The nighttime lighting from the streetlamps adds to the overall effect.
Well, this cat clearly knows you. Or would like to, anyway. What looks like a friendly neighbourhood orange tabby cat has found the purrrfect place for a nap. Sorry about that human, but if you could not move for the next 2-3 hours, that would be lovely.
Did you know that the seed inside a peach is closely related to the almond family. But don't eat it like an almond, as peach seeds contain a compound called amygdalin, which breaks down into poisonous hydrogen cyanide. Don't worry, though; you'll be okay if you accidentally eat a seed or two.
A newspaper with Michael Jordan at the 1998 NBA finals beside a Motorola Profile 300e from 1996 found on a park bench? There's only one explanation, a time-traveller from the 90s was catching up on the sports section! Anyone else thinking about Back to the Future Part II right now?
This is actually so cool. You can actually make out the shapes of the ears, legs, and trunk. And judging by the fact that it's a tree on the side of a random road, it probably wasn't intentionally cut to look like that. Hopefully it can stay like that for a while.
Seeing lighting or hearing thunder is a pretty common occurrence. But do we ever really think about what happens to the things that lightning hits? Sure, this isn't an incredible amount of damage, but it's enough to make one think!
Check out this super strawberry that has morphed into eight strawberries! One commenter really nailed this one by stating, "This makes me so uncomfortable." Being as this looks to be eight-fruit-in-one, I wonder if it has eight times the manganese, potassium, and antioxidant power?
With a world filled with innumerable vending machines, doesn't it surprise you that we don't see things like this more often? I mean, vending machines are everywhere! I guess it's pretty impressive that they're built well enough not to come crashing down like this more often. Do you think someone just got lucky, paid for one drink, and got all the drinks instead?
