There are some pictures out there that are begging for a backstory. Lucky for us, these pictures come with them. They may not be very long or detailed, but they give us a little more information, which is pretty important.
And honestly, they're all pretty fascinating. After all, the only thing better than a cool picture is one with a story to go with it.
Yeah, it's pretty strange. But it's also pretty cool. I mean, how many people can say that their basement used to be a pool? Sure, you can't turn it into a rec room, but at least it has a lot of storage space.
I feel like something like this has happened to all of us at least once during our school days. Pencils sure can be strange, but they end up making the coolest-looking effects, completely by accident.
I'm amazed that things like this still exist out in the world. Like, this pump is so old, my youthful eyes can't really understand how to read it. But at the same time, it would be kind of cool to try and get gas from it.
I mean, if they give the expired coupons away, then that means they probably still accept them. Even though they probably shouldn't.
I'd definitely try to use that coupon, just to see how they react. They better put their money where their mouth is.
If I didn't know any better, I'd probably just assume that this penny oxidized horribly. But nope, it's actually covered in battery acid. I probably wouldn't touch the thing with my bare hands, but at least it's cool to look at?
Yeah, that's kind of freaky. It's amazing though, that this person could finally get the mount off their windshield without breaking it. At least they didn't have to spend money on a new windshield.
You probably wouldn't know it just by looking at it, but this plant is pretty resilient. I mean, it's a succulent, so that shouldn't come by surprise. But really, who would've thought a leaf could grow into its own plant?
Library and thrifted books are so cool. They can be like time capsules. People will leave the strangest things in them, and while we won't know their whole story, we can at least take a peak into the lives they would've lived.
I honestly didn't know you could transfer you AAA membership like that. I want to see someone with a 100-year-old AAA membership someday.
Looking at the ground in this playground, you'd probably just assume that it's covered in wood chips. After all, that's what's usually there.
But no, this one is covered in shredded car tires. That's actually really cool. Great way to recycle tires, too.
It's kind of amazing how much history is in this pair of scissors. It comes from West Germany, which doesn't even exist anymore. And the fact that it's still so sharp just shows how good the quality is.
This road has a pretty cool pattern. And to think, it wasn't even intentional. They just relaid the bricks in a different way. Talk about breathing new life into an old road.
Resin is such a cool medium to work with. You can make the most amazing things with it. And since the stuff is so sturdy, it'll basically last forever.
I wish I had a pendant like this!
Considering how hard it is to find PS5 systems right now (I'm still trying to find one), you'd probably want yours to be in the best condition for as long as possible. But I guess toddlers have other plans...
I think the strangest thing about this van on top of that bus shelter is the fact that no one knows how it got there. I'm hoping people come up with the most outlandish theories, just for fun.
This 22-year-old painting is still really nice, even if it didn't quite stand the test of time. But knowing that it was made by one person for another makes it so much more personal, which makes it all the more special.
I have to say, this is probably the last thing I'd ever expect to find in a random photo album at the side of the road. But, well, it exists.
This picture shows this couch's last moments. It's like the calm before the storm.
And check that kitty's face out. She knows that the couch's days are numbered. I think we all know at this point.
This book store looks like its fighting back. Places like Amazon do have a bit of a Monopoly on books (and, like, everything else at this point), but that doesn't mean that we stop going to small book shops and supporting local businesses!
I (almost) feel bad for the ants that essentially got burned alive, but this is also a really cool look at the way ant colonies build their homes. Yeah, it's pretty amazing.
