Reality is weird.
Most of the time we go about our days oblivious to the strangeness around us. Then small, odd little events or images jolt us from our routine and force us to confront how bonkers and irrational life is.

It ruins the look and seems obvious, but someone, somewhere must have been dumb enough to have a balloon accident. It's the "Caution: Hot" coffee debacle all over again.
The metal of this door lock got so cold that at first the warm air inside caused condensation, and then the condensation froze. Inside the house!
If I saw this, I would go right back to bed.
Think of the impact required to damage those pillars! Did it happen all at once, or was it a multitude of smaller impacts over time? Either way, those are load-bearing!
This tree ended up with a snow shadow where it shaded the ground. This is both super neat and kind of spooky.
Below, there's probably wind and rain and churning waves, but from above, this storm looks innocent and tranquil.
Like with this destroyed VHS box for the movie Twister, found in the debris left after an actual twister.
Well played, Mother Nature.
I focus way better during lectures if my hands are occupied, just like lots of people. This maze pen is a weird, but neat solution.
This dragonfly is totally grumpy about having his picture taken, right?
Nope, it's just a human habit called anthropomorphism. We do it to inanimate objects, too.
Such as these hidden "yoga mat" instructions on an Amazon box. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another variation out there for break dancing.
If you look closely, the three sleeping men aren't actually identical, but they're certainly close enough to be seriously confusing.
Even if it means their eyelashes and beard freeze solid.
Good on you, dude. I can barely brave the cold enough to walk to my car.
These blinds may seem like privacy-providing dust magnets, but then they nearly cut through a Nerf dart. They're sharp little dust magnets!
Like this train station with electronic signs indicating how crowded the public washroom is, right down to which stalls are occupied.
Take the Center Church on the Green, in New Haven, CT, for example. When they needed to expand the church, they preserved the colonial graves underneath by propping the new building above them.
But unlike Mentos in Diet Coke, the hot tub isn't carbonated, so the result is far less explosive.
Rather, it's a faraway waterfall, photographed through a telescope. The result is eerie and beautiful. I kind of want a poster of it.
The glass' lamination prevented a complete break while also catching the hail, causing it to sag inwards.
After an earthquake in Taiwan, authorities needed to prop this building up while rescue operations helped people evacuate. It did come crashing down later.
If you didn't notice the line on his wrist, you wouldn't even guess that his hand is in water. Admit it, you thought that was dry ground at first, right?
Likely it's due to the lack of sweat glands in scar tissue, which would give the dirt something to stick to.
However, at present, it only works when you're also wearing a special pair of electronic glasses.
The deer must have run off after being hit, because its bones grew back around the arrow.
Not sure exactly how to do that, other than time and patience.
After a unique break like this, I can't blame anyone for at least taking a pic, if not putting it on display somewhere.
However, much like rocks, they've been worn smooth by time spent underneath the raging waters of a river. I never thought bark would stay underwater for so long though; I thought it would just float away.
It looks like it should be spilling everywhere!
A washing machine, of course. Kind of curious to see the state of the washing machine now.
It's like the sky is pulling up a blanket to block out the sun after a rough night.
Kind of like one of those Mission: Impossible tapes, it self-destructs shortly after the tour has ended.
It's uncanny, and it's because receipt paper can repel a bit of water, but not where it has been printed on.
It looks so convincing that they're all stacked up along the wall.
But it's just a coincidence that the building's paint perfectly matched the sky that day.
