20 Times The Matrix Glitched For Real

There are moments in life where we look at the world and cannot help but feel as though God is playing some tricks on us, whether that be by half-arsing the world's coding a little or just by reusing assets.

So, from people whose pets somehow cloned themselves to pixelated vegetables in the real world, here are 20 times the Matrix glitched for real!

"Well that's not a good sign."

This is one of the most quietly disconcerting warning signs that I have ever seen in my life. I do not know what the backstory behind someone putting this up is, but it would make me paranoid as hell.

"Dog spawn gone wrong."

This looks like a spinoff of the cartoon CatDog, just called DogDog. I know that gritty reboots and spinoffs are very "in" right now, but I do not think that the world is ready for this one.

"This tree in my neighbourhood that has 1 branch of an apple tree and the rest is a normal tree."

Apparently this is done by "grafting," which one person explained as such:

"Grafting works by selecting two trees in the same family (let's say orange and grapefruit) selecting a healthy sizable branch from tree A with plenty of healthy leaves to ensure it can continue to photosynthesize when you attach it to the host tree. Next you cut into branch A (there's a particular way you're supposed to cut the grain) mirror that cut on the host tree and bind it with something called grafting tape that helps to bond the mew new branch to the host tree. If the branch is able to sustain itself until the bonding is complete and it starts receiving nutrients from the host tree, the graft will be successful, if not it will wither and die."

"Met Keanu Reeves once when I was 14, and again when I was 17. Oddly enough, Neo was wearing the same t-shirt both times."

The person who posted this went on to elaborate: "What's hilarious was that both times were at the same exact club as well. My dad worked on a few of his basses over the years and got me some tickets and passes when his band, Dogstar, came around."

"How the hell are they already on the textbook if they are posing for it...?

It has to be done on photoshop, right? There is just no other way that this could be accomplished, without the use of magic that is.

"Homegrown!"

These are amazingly beautiful, and they would be perfect for anyone who wanted a very Alice In Wonderland themed garden! Just leave a few tins of red paint and used brushes around the place to really complete the image.

"I'm visiting the USA for the first time: There was a glitch in the Matrix yesterday as I stood in line at the MET, NY."

I can only assume that a fight to the death ensued. I mean, only one of you will be able to stay in the USA at one given time!

"Found in a store in Brazil that sells religious items."

I suppose that he is a sort of religious figure for some particularly fanatical Marvel fans? Or, maybe this a religious totem from the Church Of The Latter Day Brolins?

"Eastern redbud looks out of focus!"

They should start putting these in front of optometrists' offices and lazer eye surgery clinics. It would certainly make sure that more people felt encouraged to get their eyes tested! It's pretty devious, but effective!

"No need to update, she still runs alright."

At least the world is not being run on Windows Vista. I can tolerate the idea of the entirety of existence being dependent upon Windows 98, and I like that some fourth dimensional being has being hitting the "Remind me later" button on updating reality.

"My potato peeler gives pixelated-looking peels."

These are really cool, but they do kind of hurt your brain to look at for too long. In fact, I really think that these should come with a health warning. Just like the sun, don't stare right at these peels!

"Wait a second, how many heads are there here?"

This is one hell of a strange angle that they have managed to capture here. Having to share a single mouth must be one hell of a nightmare for a pair of dogs!

"Ok, which one of you did this?"

One person did add, "This is apparently called the topsy turvy bus, made by two mechanics in NY." However, they did not elaborate on why this bizarre creation was made in the first place.

"This amazing floating ice effect caused by a flood."

One very morbid, albeit pretty bang on the money, person added, "I feel like if someone saw this s*** in the 1600’s someone would be burning at the stake for it."

Double The Trouble!

I like how they are looking at their owner as if to say, "Well we're both here now, so you'd better start buying double the food and and double the litter!" It's either that or a fight to the death.

Looks Like We Are Stuck In A Loop!

It seems as though the beings controlling our lives get a little bit lazy from time to time. Who can really blame them for hitting the loop button every now and then.

"I think someone is trying to tell me something."

Call me crazy, but I think that someone might be stuck in a zip tie factory. I wonder what they are being kept in the zip tie factory with... rope probably?

"This dog looking from behind a door."

Look, anyone would seem a little perturbed if they woke up to find that a house had been built around them! This one really took me a long time to get my head around.

"Forgot to put a piece of cloud there."

Maybe this is just a little hole for God to keep an eye on us when there is a lot of cloud cover? No one is getting away with all of that sinning lark just because it is overcast!

"Never tell me the odds (unless you actually know the odds, then TELL ME!)."

I wonder how many times the serving staff at this restaurant mixed up these people's orders. I would never be able to keep track of these customers.
