No, it isn’t April 1st. But when I look at the pictures in this list, I feel like I’m being fooled . Even if they aren’t meant to be actual pranks .
But that’s just what happens with certain pics. They look one way, until you get an explanation that sheds a whole new light on them. Confusing, yes. But also pretty fun.
RELATED STORIES
“Paint chipping from the curb to reveal a dog.”
This is definitely the kind of thing that would make me look twice if I saw it while walking down the street. Sure, it might not fool you, but it’ll definitely weird you out for a minute.
“This mushroom I found looks like pecan pie.”
See, my first thought was that somebody dropped a dish full of baked beans on the ground. Then it started to look like an unfortunate pecan pie. But nope, it’s neither of those things.
“I took a picture of the Milky Way on the beach.”
If somebody showed me this picture and told me it was taken on the moon or something, I’d probably believe it. That’s so ethereal, it just doesn’t look like it was taken on this planet.
“I took a picture of some candles after a Cali heatwave.”
It’s hard to believe that it can get so hot outside, candles can literally melt. Or, I guess wilt. Whatever it is they did in this picture.
“This disappointed Amazon package.”
This seems like the kind of package you’d get when the Amazon warehouse worker is seriously judging whatever they just had to pack and send to you. It makes you second guess whether or not you should’ve opted for that 2-day shipping.
“Fake Coyotes in Our Office Parking Lot to Scare Off Geese.”
This… might be a little too realistic. Sure, it’ll do a good job of getting rid of those pesky geese, but it’d definitely freak me out every single day if I had to work there.
“This natural chewing gum looks like rabbit food, doesn’t come wrapped but has separate paper for discarding chewed gum.”
I’m honestly having a hard time believing this is chewing gum. It looks like those cubes of soup stock you can get from the store.
“I took a picture of a shadow.”
I know that this is all one picture taken at one time, but it seriously looks like two different pics spliced into one. I know what’s going on and yet I’m still so confused.
“This floating garbage can.”
Don’t you just love it when a picture’s weird perspective makes it look like something paranormal’s happening? Though, I’d be pretty suspicious of any poltergeist that decided it wanted to haunt a garbage can of all things.
“This pharmacy is a drug free workplace.”
Obviously they don’t mean drug as in the kind of stuff they have in there, but this is still a hilariously confusing sign. It really makes you think about how the word “drug” has two meanings that are basically opposites.
“I took a picture of tiny mushrooms.”
I love the way perspective can make something really tiny appear pretty big. Like this mushrooms, that almost look like they could make a whole forest from the angle this picture is taken at.
“My neighbor recreates cars from old movies.”
Even though these (sadly) aren’t the actual cars from those actual movies, this is still pretty cool. It must be fun (and kind of confusing) having a neighbor that does stuff like this.
“Round carrot.”
This carrot looks like it’s disguised itself as a potato or something. Even though the leaves look like carrot leaves, I’m still having a hard time believing it could actually be a carrot.
“The burl pattern on this wood looks like a dog.”
It honestly kind of looks like a creepy dog, but still. I’d definitely be a little confused if I came across something like this in my own house.
“The sweet potatoes I grew look like turds…”
Even though I know it’s just a sweet potato, I’d have a really hard time wanting to wash and peel that thing. I don’t even think I could bring myself to eat it after the fact.
“The creases in my chicken’s egg.”
Apparently, eggshells can become wrinkled like this because of the consistency of the whites when the egg is forming? I dunno, sounds like a weird egg conspiracy to me. An eggspiracy.
“My friend’s dog gently puts your knee into his mouth when he is happy to see you.”
It looks to me like the dog is trying to bite OP’s leg off, but to each their own, I guess.
“Didn’t know my leg had been amputated.”
From a distance, it really does look like this dude is missing part of his leg. But look a little closer and you’ll realize that there are two feet at the end of that chair.
“I took a picture of some stairs.”
I’ve been staring (pun intended) at this picture for a while, and I have to say, I have no idea what’s going on here. I’m completely stumped. How is this a set of stairs?
“I found a rock that looks like an egg.”
Okay, but are we sure this isn’t some kind of weird, fossilized hardboiled egg? Don’t ask me how that would make sense, it’s just what the rock looks like.
