There’s a lot to look at and a lot to keep up with in day-to-day life, so it’s totally normal to miss a few things.
But for those who are able to take a long, hard look at things, the world is full of fascinating secrets just waiting to reveal themselves.

Hi, Piedad!
Every garment you own was made, at least in part, by a real person. This shirt actually recognizes this fact on its label.
Subtle.
This is hidden underneath the engine cover of a Dodge Ram TRX. It shows a t-rex (TRX, get it?) eating a Velociraptor — a definite reference to the Ford Raptor.

I am glad to see a System Shock reference, though.

This giant QR code in Xinhua, China can only be read and scanned if you’re about 30,000 feet in the air. From the ground, it just looks like geometric greenery.
A little love.

‘rolled.
It takes a lot of dedication to write a whole wall of text, one that perfectly spells out Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley with the first word of each line.
