Humans are constantly looking for patterns. Similarities, comparisons, anything that relates one thing to another thing. It’s how we come to understand the world and put things in perspective!
This list contains more mundane cases of that exact action, though still interesting nonetheless. This is 15+ times everyday objects looked a lot like something completely different.
