All you need to appreciate a photograph is a pair of functional eyes. But sometimes to really appreciate a photograph, you might need a little bit of backstory or context to put what you're seeing into proper perspective.
The pics here all have their context included, which should make them at least twenty percent more interesting.
If this thing works as intended, it seems like an absolute game-changer. Perhaps it's time to try this whole egg boiling thing one more time.
If only this card could talk! It's fascinating looking through the dates. It seems the card was lost or forgotten sometime in 1999, but then re-activated in 2011.
I don't think I've had a can of Chef Boyardee since childhood. After seeing this unsettling picture, I think I'll continue my Boyardee-free streak.
People who didn't grow up with cameras in their phones will never understand the struggle. I especially appreciate the little tote bag that comes with the camera accessory.
There's no feeling quite like buying your first home, knowing that you have the keys to your own space on planet Earth. This pic might not show much, but it says so much.
Inheritance can be tricky, with different parties getting increasingly smaller pieces of the overall pie. Getting one dollar, though, almost feels like an insult. And, as OP elaborated, it was!
"This is from my dad’s estate. He was an abusive, alcoholic ass whom I cut out of my life as a teenager. When he died, he left everything to my one full sibling and two half-siblings. He left me the $1 so I wouldn’t try to sue."
This book is in really good shape for something that's been getting loaned out since 1973, and that's probably due to the fact that it was last loaned out in 1981.
Seriously, what's the solution here? It kind of seems like the solution is slowly, painfully peeling off each individual cactus needle — and as several people pointed out in the comments, that's cholla cactus, which means the needles are barbed. No wonder the paramedics look so hesitant.
The school ought to do something about this ticking water bomb, but I think the teacher might want to do something about their desk location as well.
These colorful cars are a bright burst of hues on a cold winter day. The fact that they actually make up a proper rainbow is just bonus.
At first I thought only the 'Jeeru' was off-brand, but a second look reveals a veritable cornucopia of weird, off-brand sodas. I didn't think there was a place in the world that didn't have Coca-Cola.
It looks like the house is designed for the stream, which is good. Still, I'd be very apprehensive about living here.
How do you know your salt lamp is a real salt lamp? Well, you can either lick it or wait until it grows new salt tendrils.
I thought this would have been for some minor offence, but nope, it's a proper $95 traffic ticket. Paying out some PB and J instead would be a no-brainer.
This is some clever design that maximizes available space while ensuring that stores have lots of Advil on-hand.
$16 isn't nothing, but it also isn't much. I'd say this is an impressive array of food for under 20 bucks, especially given the price of fresh fruits and veg at my local grocery store these days.
In that typical IRS fashion, the tax folks have submitted boring paperwork explaining everything without even a hint of personality.
The natural light that comes into our living spaces starts to feel like our personal right after awhile, but all it takes is a random developer to kill that light forever.
It's kind of shocking that they do this with the red carpet. Surely it has some use elsewhere, even if it's just getting chopped up and sold to collectors. So much for glamour!
Is this a sign that the dentist does a really thorough job or a really painless job? Or does it indicate both?
