The world is a truly mysterious place. With every singular person’s experience being so unique and varied, there are people out there who have discovered things that you will never even come close to knowing about, leaving everyone with a lot of missing info.
In an effort to bridge that gap, I’ve compiled this list of oddball finds that are as fascinating as they are weird, so we can all learn something new!
RELATED STORIES
“I’ve been cleaning up the cauldron I found buried in my forest.”
I applaud your immediate willingness to take up the mantle as the neighborhood witch. Clearly, one used to live there but left, and the position’s been open for centuries now. Not for much longer though, not when you start using that cauldron to brew some potions.
“The reflection of the fireplace makes it look like this car is on fire.”
Sure, that’s it, that truck definitely isn’t on fire and you totally didn’t say it was the reflection to cover your bases in case anyone asks why you didn’t help. How do we know you didn’t start that fire, huh? You’re looking mighty suspicious.
“A few sharks teeth I found while diving in a river.”
Just a few. Just a small selection. They’re nothing. It’s not like these are a totally cool, beautiful find of bones belonging to ancient animals. It’s no big deal at all. This is, like, a normal Thursday really.
“Piece of hail I found in my backyard after a tornado came through our town when I was in highschool.”
On one hand these look like chunks of stars that have fallen from the sky, pretty and glimmering.
On the other hand, they could also be strange alien eggs dropped on our planet to grow and hatch and wreak havoc. Either way, pretty cool!
“The feet on this bench at my gym look a lot like an impaled iPhone.”
Someone out there designing weight benches must really hate smartphones! Or they wanted to design something that could so perfectly, yet subtly, give tens of people the heart attack of their lives every single day. I don’t even have an iPhone and this would get me.
“A Pecan Pie Vending Machine.”
Okay, wrap it up everybody, we did it. We reached peak vending machine. Beyond the usual snack/drink vending machines, I’ve seen ones for meats, cheeses, technology, books, anything you can think of.
This, though? This is as high as it can go, the ultimate vending machine art form. No need to keep innovating.
“Today I found an unexploded WWII bomb.”
And you were somehow chill enough about the situation to take a cheery photo with it! Those are some steady nerves you’ve got there. Though I truly hope this isn’t what you did, the thought of just leaving it there for someone else to find is a little funny.
“This huge leaf I found.”
Do you know what that’s the perfect size for? A mask. Cut some eyeholes in it, strap it to your face with twine or a rope made out of grass, forgo all human worries, then run off into the woods to be a little feral leaf sprite.
“The way the light hits this spiderweb makes it look like a CD-rom.”
I’ve been staring at this photo for some time now, and I’m still not convinced this isn’t a CD-rom that got stuck in a web. Surely I could walk right over and pick it up, put it in my car and listen to the spider’s mixtape.
“There is a completely different drink underneath the label.”
Fun fact, this is potentially due to a can shortage going on right now, breweries are putting newer labels on whatever excess cans they have laying around. With how many shortages are going on around the world, I’m actually surprised this isn’t more common.
“Rodent is storing acorns in my car’s vent.”
Is you driving away the equivalent of pulling up to your favorite restaurant only to discover it’s closed for this squirrel? If so, I feel its pain. You could have at least posted a notice or something so he wasn’t caught so off guard.
“The Amsterdam Schiphol airport has a ‘no balloons’ policy.”
These signs are at railroad tracks, and they prohibit balloons because if one were let go, it could float up and damage the power cable.
Or, someone at the Schiphol really hates birthday parties and wants people to celebrate elsewhere.
“My mate actually made a comfortable grass couch…”
Someone in the comments asked if it was squishy or wet, to which the uploader replied, “Firm and dry this day, all the perks of laying on the ground but with less laying and more lounging.” Is it weird to think that this actually sounds amazing?
“[High] five zone.”
This is a nice idea! It’s cute, simple, and brings a smile to the faces of runners, cyclists, and every other type of pedestrian.
Though, according to someone in the comments who knows where this is, the hand gets broken all the time. Not very nice, everyone.
“These Spring Shoes I found at a thrift store many years ago.”
Have you ever wanted the thrill of a trampoline mixed with the mechanics of a pogo stick and the instability of stilts? Boy, do I have the product for you then.
There’s no way anyone was able to use these without breaking a collarbone.
“This building has a map of its location on the side.”
This reads like a giant version of those ‘you are here’ maps they have in malls, but less helpful because none of the streets are listed. I can’t even know what stores are nearby! I just know I’m at this building!
“I Preserve and Frame Spiderwebs!”
This is the first time I’ve heard of this hobby, but I get it. Each one is unique and they certainly are natural works of art. Hopefully, you’re paying the spiders fairly, though. You wouldn’t want to treat your artists poorly.
“My KitKat wafer was sideways in the chocolate.”
Someone got a little dizzy in the old KitKat factory, or this one took a nasty fall and this is what a wafer dislocation looks like. I was going to suggest getting it x-rayed, but I suppose you already did that by taking a bite.
“Tbt to when rats decided to make a feast with pizza and pasta under the hood of my car.”
And you scared them off by opening it! They were having a lovely date, one of the rats was even planning on proposing, but you barged on in and now they’re both put off. Good job, you made it weird, let them have their privacy.
“A Popped Coffee Bean.”
I wasn’t alone in immediately imagining a bowl of popped coffee beans like popcorn, right? And I also wasn’t alone in immediately recoiling at the thought of how awful it must taste, then throwing the whole bowl out and never thinking about it again?
