When people say ‘anything can happen’, sometimes they really do mean anything. From the mundanely strange to the mind-bogglingly bizarre, we can never truly expect what will come next in our lives.
This list is just a sampling of that concept, filled with times the world surprised us just by being itself.
“The chip bowl acted as a parabolic mirror and set a chip on fire.”

“This fire hydrant (?) is situated in a creek.”
Well, according to the last picture, a fire can truly start anywhere. It’s never a bad thing to be prepared.
“My cat had a blockage in her stomach and needed surgery to remove it. It ended up being 26 hair ties.”
I have a cat. I also have hair ties that go missing. I’ll start keeping a better eye on them.
“Sweet roadside deal!”
Which one, exactly? I’m not too interested in this one, one of the planets has a major infestation and I don’t want anything with depreciating value.
“The result of a passing car while I was taking a panoramic picture.”
Or this guy has the coolest limo ever. Actually, is it a limo, or is it just an inconvenient car?
“The telephone booth that isn’t.”
There’s something funny about them feeling they had to board up the payphones instead of just removing them. It feels a little extreme.
“This egg yolk that survived the mixer at work.”
That’s no ordinary yolk, that’s the chosen one, strongest yolk known to egg-kind!
“Black and white squirrel that came up to me on my walk.”
How stylish! Greyscale outfits are super in right now, and that gradient is just beautiful.

Someone in the comments said it’s actually scented like leather and vanilla, which sounds nice! Why wouldn’t they put that on the bottle instead of this?

If you’re about to roll in and say ‘lightning didn’t actually make that’, don’t worry, the uploader already got an earful in the comments.
If lightning didn’t make it, it at least uncovered it, which is still pretty cool!

Sacrificing camouflage in the name of fashion. Commendable.
