30 Discoveries That Are Way More Fascinating Than They Look

I've seen people cut bell peppers into random little shapes before (stars and stuff like that). But I've never seen one that was cut to look like a duck! This was probably accidental, but it's still really cool.

The fact that even the stem helps out the overall duck shape is fascinating.

That's... a lot of toilet paper rolls. But over the span of 6 years, it's actually not much at all. In case you were wondering, there are at least 110 rolls in that shelf (yes, I counted). That averages out to about one and a half rolls used each month.

That must be one super delicate leaf! Those veiny parts aren't usually that noticeable, but when there's no "leaf" part around, you can really start to notice how many veins are there. It would be really cool to try and press or preserve that leaf.

At first glance, this lane does look like it has a bunch of sun beams shining down on it. But those clouds in the distance tell a very different story. The fact that the "sun" is actually an illusion created by sand blowing over the pavement is quite impressive.

I've seen houses overrun by ivy before, but never to this extent. That house is more plant than building at this point. I wonder if that would act like insulation; like, would it help keep the house cool on a hot day? Or is it purely for decorative purposes?

Here's what probably happened: a person came by and tied a belt around a tree, left it for several years, and the tree eventually grew and engulfed the belt in its trunk. Trees will keep growing no matter what, so whatever you leave on there will just become a part of it eventually.

The fact that this person got a Red Bull with their textbook is a little concerning. Being in college is pretty hard; balancing a bunch of different classes, attempting to have a social life, and possibly even working. But students should at least be able to sleep, too!

Streetlights are everywhere, and unless you like not being able to see where you're going at night, you can probably agree that they're pretty important. But, why not make them look cool at the same time?

These ones have a bit of quirk, but they're still not so imposing that they're blocking the walkway or anything.

Seeing old buildings next to new ones like this is always so cool. It just goes to show you that no one would've thought that cities would grow to the sizes they are today when they were first built. There are a lot more of us around nowadays, after all.

Those seats are actually so cool! At a glance, you may just think of those giant headphones as an art installation. But you can actually sit in them too, which makes them even better.

If you look closely at the right headphone, you can see someone's feet, meaning it's actually being used!

These farm fresh eggs may not look too special, until you realize that they all come from the same chicken.

I'm no farmer (I also don't own chickens) so I wouldn't think that one chicken could have so much color and size variation in the eggs she produces. Cartons don't look like that in the store!

You know what? It actually doesn't look like the shape of this rubber band was deliberate. Meaning that it just twisted itself into a treble clef on its own. Either this is one musically inclined rubber band, or the universe is trying to say something.

Sometimes it's the simple things that are the most fascinating. This is literally just a stick, but it's also got such a cool shape. The end of the stick (on the left side) looks like a snake, snapping turtle, or even an eel opening its mouth. It even has an eye!

The fun thing about Skittles is that everyone has a favorite color. So, what would we make of a colorless one? It's obviously some kind of manufacturing error; it likely skipped the dye portion somehow. The biggest question should be obvious, though. What flavor is it?

When you renovate an old home, you really never know what you'll find behind the walls. Sometimes, the surprise is really concerning, like rodent droppings or water damage. But other times, you find things that people somehow forgot in there. Like a super old can of beer. I wouldn't drink that.

Maybe it's because I have terrible aim, but archery impresses me so much. The fact that a person can have so much control of a bow and arrow that they can shoot through two branches at once is mind boggling.

I wonder how long you have to practice to get this good.

There was probably some sort of hole in the potato before it got turned into a chip. But it's almost perfectly round, so it had to have been made by some kind of tool. Honestly though, it's kind of too cool to actually eat.

What a cool idea! Not only do the solar panels provide shade, but they help you charge your phone while you sit at the table. We should have more solar panels around, especially in public places or areas like this. I think they would be so helpful.

Oh wow, I can't get over how round that is! I wonder if it's a naturally occurring thing, or if someone out there was able to polish the rock into a sphere, and then set it on a beach for some reason.

Nah, it would be too much effort for one person to do, so it's got to be natural.

What a weird font for a stop sign. It's like someone wanted it to look a little fancy, but still needed it to be a stop sign. At least it has the right shape, so it probably won't be that confusing for drivers.

Hmm...very interesting. I'm kind of curious if more of those bricks are in that structure, or if they're in other places.

Also, I just realized that a limited edition brick is...just a brick with some words on it. Still, it's really cool.

Wait, wait, wait... you're telling me that isn't a rusty screw? Or a button? Or something made by people? It's a plant? I swear, nature constantly impresses me.

I wonder what this strange seed would grow into...

Whoa, that's massive! I bet you could make a lot of borscht with that beet. Or, just slice it up and grill it. You could probably feed, like, a dozen people with that thing.

And now I've made myself hungry, which is just great.

Sometimes, when I make pancakes, I end up with a little tiny one like this one. They're so cute! Even if they're kind of useless.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who accidentally does this, and it can even happen to manufacturers.

The flower is a real, living plant. The colors aren't so natural, though. It's pretty easy to do; you just need to put some different colored dye in the water the stem will be sitting in. It'll absorb the color and dye the flower.

I also can't help but notice the dark-colored leaves, and how they contrast the bright and cheerful rainbow flowers.

I guess there's no better way to tell people not to post signs than... by posting a sign. It's a necessary evil. Even if it's super ironic. Which it is. Because it's a sign in a place where there aren't supposed to be signs. Okay, I'll stop talking.

Because why wouldn't you want to have a mild heart attack while driving?

Even though I know that the back of this truck is just a facade, and there aren't really any boxes about to fall out of it, it's stressing me out. Just a little bit.

I bet you that chip is the most flavorful chip anyone would ever eat. Luckily it's Cool Ranch flavor, and not one of the spicy ones, or else whoever ate that would probably end up in the hospital or something.

Having a neat lawn is nice, but having bees around is much more important. Considering the fact that bees play such a vital role in pretty much every ecosystem, it's nice to do what we can to help them out. This little patch of wildflowers is just so considerate.

Can you believe that tree went to the moon? Well, maybe not exactly. At one point, sycamore seeds were brought to the moon, then brought back, then were used to grow this tree. That's still really fascinating, though.

I wonder if there are any other trees from that seed batch around.
