With hundreds of years of humanity’s stylistic experiments under our belts, we’ve got a lot of aesthetics to choose from if we want to stand out.
As long as we’re not naked, there’s absolutely nothing stopping us from walking the streets dressed as a 16th century pirate or like what we think aliens look like. And that just makes me wonder if they have similarly outlandish ideas of what we look like.

I can’t imagine feeling particularly at ease if someone used it to serve me a drink, though. It’s like even the cup wants me to be poisoned.
This was taken at a dog convention and regardless of which one won, this pupper was easily the most memorable.
I don’t get what this rainbow dye job has to do with the four horses of the apocalypse (if that’s even what they’re supposed to be), but whoever did this definitely piqued my curiosity.
If you must get your head tattooed, it’s hard to find a more ambitious way to do it than this.

This restaurant requires diners to shine a UV light on the menu to have any hope of reading it.

Sure, it would be nice to take your beloved companion everywhere with you to remember them, but this just seems distasteful.

Even after people regain their footing after staring directly at this, they’d probably have a tough time telling what it is.
The answer is that it’s a motorcycle cover and it’s hard to imagine someone with the mental fortitude to try and steal it.
