Employers seem to want to hire folks who can demonstrate an “attention to detail,” judging by the job ads out there – not that I’ve been looking! Anyway, they probably just mean people who can get a fast food order right the first time, including the extra pickles, hold the mayo.
But there are plenty of little details out there to notice, and they’re worth keeping an eye out for.
RELATED STORIES
“This curtain pattern looks like Squidward.”
Well, just try and un-see that now that it’s been pointed out. It’s uncanny, like the pattern was specifically designed after the famous Bikini Bottom resident.
You can get lost trying to find the end of this can’s infinite logo.
The can in the logo has the can on it, which has the logo with the can on it, and so on. I wonder how deep it goes?
When you find the place that’s on money, you stop and take a pic.
And to be honest, I think I’ve only ever been to one place that was ever on money, as far as I know, so I can’t blame this person for grabbing a pic.
Somebody noticed that this jigsaw puzzle had a repeating pattern in its shapes.
So all the pieces can fit together perfectly even though the image makes zero sense. I don’t know who notices such a thing, but I suspect they were mighty bored.
There’s a reason the ‘2’ on the far left is brightest.
It’s on a microwave’s display, and on that end, it’s by far the least used light, so it has the most life left in it. It’s not the most consequential detail, but I’m sure I never would have noticed it.
Someone found these two embedded in concrete in their neighborhood.
I guess it makes sense that Emmet and Wyldstyle would be hanging out at a construction site, and possibly have been used to commemorate said construction. Master builders respecting master builders!
This person’s ice cream and dog have the same coloring.
It’s amazing how nature knows the best camouflage. So magical, it kinda gives you goosebumps.
This person noticed that their pockets are different colors.
Which makes sense. Generally speaking, you’re never really going to see the insides of your pockets, and neither will anybody else, so what does it even matter?
The stained glass windows in this church contain the planets.
Which is certainly not the sort of iconography you’d expect from a church, unless the patron saint is…I don’t know…Galileo? Halley? Hubble?
Something doesn’t quite add up with this Klondike donut bar.
It’s got the traditional donut hole, but it’s Boston cream flavored and those definitely don’t have holes in the middle. Still, curious to taste it. Boston cream is the best.
How formal.
As its owner noticed, this box turtle is never under dressed because its shell has a little bow tie on it. Even when it’s feeling shy, it has that going for it.
Somebody taking apart an engine discovered this cool detail.
During repairs made long ago, another mechanic had manufactured a necessary part from an old coin. Looks like it did the job just fine, too.
This plane’s tiller has a spot worn down on it for one good reason.
It’s the spot where wedding bands end up resting, slowly chipping away at the paint.
This doesn’t mean it’s vegan, necessarily.
But this Unicorn Sparkle ice cream wants you to rest assured that it contains no real unicorns. Glad they cleared that up!
Same product, with a slight difference.
For one thing, the lids are different colors. For another, they’re advertised as containing different amounts of money for some reason. I wonder if the white lids outsell the black lids?
This coffee company has an odd level of confidence in their customers.
Namely, that they’d know how to make a cup of coffee by rote, but not how to tie a tie even though many of us do that day-in, day-out.
“Two rocks in the wall of this house look like a music note.”
It might take a while, but it’s there, in the middle, two black rocks that do indeed appear to make a musical note.
This quarter got a bonus stamping.
Obviously, there was some kind of error in the minting process and it still ended up in circulation. Neat little find, and it’s worth at least 25 cents.
Spotted on the walls of the National Gallery of Slovakia: Star Wars wallpaper.
Turns out it was part of a design school project, but if you didn’t have a keen eye for X-wing fighters and lightsabers, would you even have noticed?
Somebody exploring the code on Obama’s website found this little Easter egg.
Not sure if it serves any function but it’s noteworthy that the only letters in the ‘O’ are U, S, and A.
Who doesn’t love a good visual pun?
Always nice to see the creativity of graphic designers come out, as it did for whoever made the peanuts on this jar of crunchy peanut butter do crunches.
Hmmm, I wonder if there was some subliminal messaging at work here.
Somebody came home with a puzzle mat and a jigsaw puzzle – and the puzzle just happened to be the one pictured on the box for the mat.
All the clouds in this pic are lined up with the islands below.
I’m sure there’s a great scientific explanation for this phenomenon – or it was some excellent timing on the part of the photographer. Either way, cool detail to notice.
Mixed in among the craters on this Moon lamp is a footprint.
It’s easy to miss, but a reward to find and a nice nod to one of the signature achievements of the 20th century.
“You can tell that this restaurant used to be called Mango Chill.”
Can you see it? Because yeah, the outline of the sign clearly shows it once read “Mango Chill.” Can’t blame The Indian Kitchen for that subtle recycling job though.
This is a wrapper for a Nutri-Grain bar. Just on the edge, there’s an XBox logo.
Maybe there was supposed to be a promotion? Or a different product got mixed into the production line? I don’t know, weird little thing.
This silica gel packet is promoting Despicable Me 3.
Speaking of strange places to find ads, I guess silica gel packets were an untapped spot. They probably still are, because I can’t recall seeing anything else like this, ever.
Captain Morgan, is that you?
It is! You just have to look through the bottle to the reverse side of the label to see the captain looking like he belongs at the helm of the Black Pearl.
This driver noticed their car’s display had gotten a bit confused.
The drive-thru attendant is, in fact, not a traffic cone. Well, apart from the fact that you do want to avoid hitting the poor person, that is.
When is a Zippo not a Zippo?
You might not know it from the outside, but this knock-off apparently fessed up to just being a wannabe, but you had to go looking for it.
Somebody had to look closely to see that this is actually a ladybug.
Usually they stick out more because usually they have bright red shells. But there are varieties with gray shells, like this one!
Well, isn’t that nice.
It’s not easy to make out, but the blood vessels in this person’s hand form a heart. It’s like it’s always Valentine’s for them!
