Do you ever glance at something, glance away, then think for a second and realize you might want to take a closer look?
Some things are weird enough that they demand a second look . So don’t feel weird if you need to dwell on each pic in this list for a little longer than usual. The folks who took the pics did, too.
“These new bathroom stall doors don’t have gaps on the sides.”
I don’t use the word ‘hero’ very often, but whoever designed this bathroom stall is now my personal hero. Their visionary ideas in the field of bathroom architecture are just what the world needs.
“My local pizzeria has a list of addresses that they refuse service to and reasons why.”
If someone threatens to burn the pizzeria or refuses to pay, then yeah, makes sense not to serve them. But what’s with the steak hoagie, large pizza situation? It seems like there’s a story.
“Real life redemption through Jesus.”
This would be a great way for parents to troll their kids. I don’t mean to knock prayer groups or anything, but when it comes to going to a prayer group or playing some Red Dead Redemption , I know which one I’m choosing.
RELATED STORIES
“Cut into a tomato and a tomato farm was growing in it.”
This is one of those sights that looks gross at first, but then, when you process it, it’s actually pretty cool. Still a tad gross-looking, sure, but cool all the same.
“Bird and human hands hybrid.”
Just because you can combine two motifs in a sculpture doesn’t mean you should. No wonder this bird’s planted on the ground — it has a couple of clunky human hands rather than wings.
“Amazon purchase came with a personal note and some Russian coins.”
I don’t know what it is, but there’s always something cool about seeing foreign coins, even if they’re virtually worthless. Getting the note along with the coins is a nice little bonus.
“1982 Buick Regal interior.”
Say what you will about this kitted-out Buick with swivel seats, but it’s hard to deny that this designer had style. Exactly what that style is? Well, that’s up for debate. But it’s style all the same.
“Large hole in a huge mountain near Fernie, BC.”
A cave is one thing, but this massive hole almost looks too circular to be naturally occurring. It would be fun to explore, but it kind of feels like you might never get back out.
“I feel like I can SMELL the chlorine while sleeping.”
I love the smell of chlorine, but there would have to be a point during the night that you would want to crack a window. It isn’t like chlorine is a subtle scent.
“Here’s a wasp that landed on a water scorpion.”
This photo was taken in the tense moments after the wasp landed. Are these two friends? Enemies? Some kind of frenemy situation? I’d love to know what happened after this was snapped.
“Some more Voicria’s Screat (Found in Vietnam).”
This is hilarious on the surface, but it’s also somewhat fascinating. Off-brands that are marketed at people who may not speak English don’t really need to get the name correct, so long as the overall logo looks legit.
“This gecko laying her eggs in the mount of my Ring cam.”
I’m sure this would qualify as a pest infestation, but geckos are just so cute and so rare (at least where I live) that I find this delightful.
“4 disappointments for the price of one!”
It’s incredible how brazen these ripoffs are. I almost want to see them. I mean, they did a good job ripping off the logos and names, but how are the actual movies?
“This tree has half white and half pink flowers.”
Tree nerds will no doubt have an explanation for this, but sometimes you don’t need an explanation in order to appreciate something. There are pretty, two-toned flowers on display here, and that’s good enough for me.
“These patterns appeared on top of a coconut oil jar.”
Once again, there has to be a proper scientific explanation for why this coconut oil has taken on an interlocking hexagon pattern. It’s so pretty, it would almost be a shame to actually use the oil.
“Unopened 23-year-old box of ‘Millenios’ Cheerios from Y2K.”
We all remember Y2K as the time when everyone freaked out about computers, but things turned out fine. But what’s often forgotten is the cottage industry of products marking the event for no good reason.
“I broke the tip off my ballpoint pen, and there was a small felt-tip underneath!”
I wonder if this is a bug or a feature. You don’t buy a ballpoint pen hoping to get a felt pen, but it’s still a nice bonus.
“Two cartons of cigarettes produced for scientific research.”
When you think about it, it totally makes sense that these exist. After all, people in smoking studies need to smoke something. Still, the concept of ‘research cigarettes’ kind of hurts my brain.
“How this cracker blends in with my kitchen worktop.”
You could literally blanket this countertop with boxes and boxes of these crackers, and still not be sure that you were looking at any crackers at all. The camo effect is perfect.
“These single seat benches.”
A multi-seat bench just makes more sense for a multitude of reasons, but it’s still cool to see these benches for loners. Forrest Gump would have had no one to tell his stories to if he’d sat on one of these.
