We know that you, dear reader, can appreciate some of the finer viral photos in life. That’s why we’ve brought you this curated list of photos . Not everyone can appreciate them, of course, but we have a feeling that you’re a little more discerning.
“Paper jammed in my scanner and I accidentally created abstract art.”
I have no idea if the person who posted this is artistic or not. But for those of us who aren’t artistic at all, this might be the best chance we have of creating original art.
RELATED STORIES
“Three generations of handwriting (Grandmother, mother and mine).”
I’m sure the phenomenon comes down to the fact that people type more than they used to, but it’s always jarring to see how neatly my parents and grandparents wrote compared to me.
“My Halloween costume this year! Made it myself.”
Sometimes you see a Halloween costume that might just be a little too good, and this is a perfect example. I mean, the guy looks exactly like an old, dead tree.
“A cloud that looks like a praying cat.”
The way that clouds can take on the shape of literally anything, whether it’s specific or abstract, is endlessly fascinating. Cats aren’t known to pray, but if they did, this is what it would look like.
“Unopened bag of tube socks from 1983.”
Nowadays, trendy vintage shops would sell these at a significant markup, but back in the day, this was par for the course. They really don’t make socks nearly the way they used to.
“I found a dollar bill with a rotationally symmetric serial number.”
As far as unlikely cash events go, finding this bill would rank far below winning the lottery. That said, the odds of finding such a neat serial number might be less likely than actually winning money.
“This elevator has buttons for your feet so you don’t have to touch the buttons.”
I always avoid touching elevator buttons if I can help it, so this layout speaks to me. I’m sure kicking the numbers is far more satisfying than awkwardly using my elbow, which is my normal deal.
“The way my fiancé’s toes line up.”
There’s no award, that I’m aware of at least, for people whose toes lines up so evenly that you’re not sure where one foot ends and the other begins. But if there was, this person would win.
“My Indiana magnet that’s actually shaped like Idaho.”
I really like how some design work went into this to pay tribute to some of the things Indiana is known for. Then they went and ruined it all. I guess ‘I’ states are tough to tell apart.
“For Halloween, someone in my Neighborhood was handing out Japanese Kit Kats.”
I don’t know why Japan has so, so many versions of Kit Kat bars. All that matters is that some of them come to North America, whether it’s through importers or Halloween heroes.
“This skull nestled in the corner of a building.”
I’m a big fan of skull aesthetics, but putting one right on the corner of a building is a bold move. Like, it’s about the most unfriendly decoration you could put up there.
“My neighbors drive identical blacked out Yukons.”
There’s no explanation given for why they have two of these vehicles, so I’m just going to go ahead and assume that both people who live here work with Agents J and K at the Men in Black.
“Middle of Nowhere, OK: ‘Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Inmates.'”
I passed by a sign like this once, right after I nearly pulled over to investigate an issue with my car. Let’s just say I was glad I didn’t pull over that day.
“This old ivermectin shirt I found in my closet.”
Long before ivermectin was being touted as a cure-all for covid, it was a simple horse dewormer. This shirt recalls those glory days.
Note: it’s still just a simple horse dewormer. Please get vaccinated.
“My laptop’s keyboard has an optical illusion where you can see dots between the keys.”
Macbooks, or any light-colored laptop with symmetrical square keys, can make your eyes hurt if you look at the keyboard for too long.
“My microwave has a help button.”
I have so many questions here. Why might someone push the ‘help’ button on a microwave? Once it’s pushed, what does it do? Has my microwave been trying to help me this whole time?
“An ashtray from Wendy’s back when there was a smoking section.”
It’s weird to think back of the time when restaurant greeters would ask “smoking or non-smoking?” when you walked into a restaurant. I’m glad those days are over, but I do miss the fun branded ashtrays.
“My daughter’s homemade dalek costume.”
This is a downright impressive Halloween costume, made all the better because it’s homemade. I mean, I doubt the mobility is that good, but that’s kind of beside the point when it comes to dressing up.
“My grandmother had a set of false teeth bronzed.”
I guess if parents get baby shoes bronzed, nothing is stopping this person’s grandma from getting dentures bronzed. Somehow, though, I doubt this thing will become a treasured family keepsake. It’s just a little too weird.
“Ate at a little coffee shop that had an antique table with drawers. Opened the drawer and found this.”
Judging by this pic, that coffee shop must be a cool place to stop at. There must be little details everywhere.
