If you’re like me and spend about five hours a day listlessly scrolling through photos on your phone, you know that it gets tough to separate the wheat from the chaff. Here, we’ve done away with the bad photos, leaving you with only the finest in photographic perfection.
Recreated
The top photo of a bunch of random teenagers was snapped by Beatles drummer Ringo Starr in 1964. Decades later, the same group reunited to recapture the very same pose.

Yo dawg, I heard you like balloons…
A little girl’s parents set this up for her birthday because, well, she really likes balloons. Many multicolored balloons is way better than one solitary red balloon, especially that the new It is out in theaters.
Two peas in a pod
Hard to say whether this guy is screaming in pain at the death grip his cat currently has on his wrist, or if this is just some father-cat thing they do together.
She did her homework
This twelve-year-old girl did the research, finding that every U.S. president, save for one (Martin van Buren) are related to the same English king, John Lackland Plantagenet. This girl has done more homework at twelve than I’ve ever done.
Thanks, dad
Cool gaming parents who can absolutely destroy their kids in head-to-head competition are nothing new. Take, for instance, this vintage photo of a daughter who’s exasperated with her dad’s PS1 dominance.
This is on Earth
This drone photograph shows nothing more out-of-the-ordinary than an abandoned house sitting in the middle of a lavender field. The effect, and the colors, combine to look downright otherworldly.
Thanks guys!
“The Fire Department was responding to a medical emergency in my apartment complex,” wrote the person who snapped this pic.
“When they got done as they headed out they took time to stop and help my elderly father and I move our heaviest items into our moving truck. It was 103 degrees, and they were very kind.”
Rocks in the void
This detailed image of the crescent moon would be impressive enough on its own (just check out the dark part), but when you add Jupiter and four of its moons, it elevates this pic to another level.
Galactic apple
This, the black diamond apple, looks like it ranges from something that looks like it’s long-dead to something that has a whole galaxy on its skin. It’s grown only in Tibet.
Hurricane proof
This person decided to park their car inside to protect it from Hurricane Dorian. They didn’t have a garage, but fortunately they had double doors, combined with a very small car.
What a deal!
This Disneyland ticket is noteworthy, and probably worth a lot of money, because it’s the first ticket ever sold to the attraction. But I’m more amazed by the price — just a dollar for all that fun!
You’re welcome
What better way to pay tribute to your beautiful, cranky, bowl-dwelling cat than to commemorate it with a custom jigsaw puzzle? You don’t even need to look to the box for reference.
Over a century ago
In case you thought climate change was something that only came to the public’s attention recently, note this old newspaper story from more than a hundred years ago spelling out the facts.
Goldblum intensifies
I don’t know why Jeff Goldblum is the darling of the internet and life itself. All I know is that he is, and also that he seems genuinely appreciative that so many people have paid tribute to him.
Chonky boi
I love this pic for so many reasons: the fact that I can’t decide if this bear looks more adorable or terrifying, along with the fact that the photographer clearly had nerves of steel to snap the photo.
“Discreet”
The Redditor in this pic explains that she bought this “discreet” pumping device for her newborn baby. Clearly, it fits under a shirt like a dream. It falls down a little in the “discretion” department, though.
Quit smoking
Smoke isn’t some kind of vapor. It’s actually a cloud of tiny, ashy pieces of particulate, as this photo perfectly illustrates. Now think about inhaling this into your lungs…
This is Wonderland
Not really, but doesn’t it look magical? If you told me this was a still from a new Alice in Wonderland movie, I’d believe you.
BOOP
Redditor u/Cammarrrr says they’re no photographer, but I protest: this is a seriously good photo of a seriously good doggo.
There’s always that one friend
Be that friend. Besides, Samara is a perfect costume if you’re shy at parties.
A public restroom that’s totally neutral
I choose to think that the right roll was replaced more recently and not that more people prefer the roll on the left.
Beautiful and sad
Though this man is suffering from prostate cancer, he was able to meet his great-granddaughter for the first and last time.
You tell ’em, sign!
This is probably what happens when it’s the least artistic person on staff’s turn to make the sign. And they win every time.
Catch that butterfly!
I love this picture so much. Apparently, kitty did manage to catch a couple of butterflies that day.
Giddy up

What? You’ve never seen a raccoon ride a gator before? Clearly, you don’t spend enough time in Florida.
Autumn is my favorite season
What’s not to like? The bugs are gone, it’s perfect weather for sweaters and cute boots, and the trees begin to look like this.
This guy was scheduled for a meeting to talk about his “role in the company”
The message said he could bring a “support person” so assuming he was being fired, he hired a clown to join him. He was fired, but the clown was a hit.
This is a new challenge I can get behind
People are creating flat lays of everything inside large vehicles. This is all the contents of a Dutch fire truck.
Peek-a-boo!
Okay, I promise this is the last cute animal pic, but look at all the fluffy!
If you told me this was a vintage pic, I’d almost believe you
Besides a smart phone in the foreground, there are a lot of people reading books on their commute. Not just electronic books either, but actually dead tree editions.
I can’t decide if this is cool or not…
I mean, it sort of is, but something about it basically being a fancy gas-powered tricycle makes it loose something.
Being an adult is getting excited over washing machines
To be fair, buying your own machines after years of apartment building rooms or laundromats is amazing.
From the troubles in Hong Kong
This flaming subway entrance has been attributed to the protesters, but of course, everything we’ve heard from Hong Kong is muddled. Whoever set the fire, it’s a good example of how volatile the situation is.
Proof that kids will always want to carve their names in things
Apparently, this was actually carved by Isaac Newton into a window ledge at The Kings School, Grantham. He was a student there between 1655-1659.
Good sign
I like to think that the dog’s info translates to “Pick up after your humans.”
Unexpected Tenacious D
Playing around with the name of your car is always good fun, and adding in some underappreciate Tenacious D references never hurt anyone. I want to give this driver a whole new tribute.
Prosthetic progression
Prosthetic legs need to grow with the wearer, or else it would make balancing and walking pretty difficult. Here’s what years of prosthetics looks like when everything is lined up together.
This isn’t just any pic of the moon
It’s a beautiful shot of the full harvest moon shining over Friday the 13th. That doesn’t happen very often.
