Have you ever seen something you feel like you shouldn’t have? Nothing dire, just a neat finding or a small happenstance, but it still feels wrong? That’s because you were blessed with a rare, unique universe occurrence.
Some people chose to share occurrences they’ve captured, letting us all see things that surprise us just by showing us they could happen.
“In case you have not seen what a clump of DNA looks like.”
There’s something so calming but simultaneously terrifying about this. Like, wow, that’s all I’m made of! But also wow, that’s all I’m made of .

Swan to some, skeleton holding an orb to others (me, I’m others).
“This giant driftwood in Washington State.”
I feel like this is beyond ‘driftwood’ and is now into ‘an entire tree’ territory.
“My beer bottle has a dent in it.”
Forget the physical conundrum that is dented glass, does this mean you’re getting less beer?
