I don’t know about you, but some pictures seem like they only exist to confuse me. I’ll always be grateful for the fact that some people out there think to add context to their online posts.
The pictures in this list may seem confusing at a glance, but there are some perfectly valid explanations for each of them. They definitely aren’t that befuddling.
RELATED STORIES
“Walked behind these two at the local mall. They had shoes, diapers, and haircuts.”
I actually used to work at a store where a woman would come in with her pet duck. The duck always wore diapers because, well, no one wants to clean after a bird in their store. So I get this.
“The reflection of the fireplace makes it look like this car is on fire.”
Yeah… it really looks like that truck is on fire, and no one is doing anything about it. Thankfully, the glass window and the fireplace on the other side of the room are just playing tricks on us.
“The place where a trapped squirrel tried to chew its way out of my house.”
I’d love to know how the squirrel got into this person’s house in the first place, but I’ll settle for looking at its very feeble escape attempt.
Luckily, OP updated their post, saying that they got the squirrel out through the front door.
“The only white hair in my body is growing on my eyebrow, and it’s pretty big compared to the other hairs.”
I feel like we all have a weird, long, white hair that grows on a random spot of our bodies every now and then. I had one on my back a few years ago and it was just so strange.
“Spilled water on my keyboard so I set it up in front of a heater to dry…”
Putting your keyboard next to a heater seems like a fine idea in theory. But when you actually do it, don’t be surprised if it ends up looking something like this. Heat + plastic = a very bad time.
“The local Murder gifting me with bones because I gift them with crackers. Freaky Morbid Corvids… The jawbone was dropped nearly onto my lap today!”
I feel like if you’re getting gifts from your local murder (of corvids), then you’re probably their chosen one. I don’t know what they want you to do, but if you accept the gifts, you kind of can’t say no.
“One of the members who comes to my gym made this using the cork from a golf ball.”
Not only is this impressive, it’s also pretty uncanny! I don’t know if this was modeled after a real person, but the face looks strangely familiar. I just can’t put my finger on it…
“Tall Building (20 Floors) Demolition in Seoul, South Korea – Scaffolded By Hand, Covered, and Taken Down Floor By Floor from the Inside- (Pic Taken Today).”
I’ve definitely never seen a building torn down like this before. This seems… pretty cool, actually. I wonder if it’s less disturbing than just closing the whole block and tearing it down in a day. It probably is.
“My wife thought the knife block was plastic so she decided to put it in the dishwasher.”
I think a lot of knife blocks are covered in a composite-like thing, so they don’t feel like wood (but they are). This super strange picture is a pretty good lesson: don’t put your knife block in the dishwasher!
“Yipee, got a Butterfinger that wasn’t broken into pieces! Haha, booyah!”
You’d think this picture was nothing special, but have you ever had a Butterfinger before? If so, then you’ll know that they’re always cracked and broken. This is, like, really rare (and satisfying to look at).
“Fungus that grew inside of an old bottle of ink, and then proceeded to seal itself inside using its mold…”
I feel a bit better knowing that this is just some kind of weird fungus, and not, like, human teeth or something. I don’t know why it would have been human teeth in the first place, though.
“Rocky died 20 years ago. His leash has been on the rock next to his grave ever since.”
It’d be kind of hard to tell what this is a picture of without the context. But man, that caption really punched me in the gut. I’m glad no one moved the leash from Rocky’s grave after all these years.
“Tbt to when rats decided to make a feast with pizza and pasta under the hood of my car.”
This is definitely the last thing you’d expect to find under the hood of your car. But hey, it could be worse. They could’ve chewed through wires, making the car totally useless.
…Please don’t eat the rat food, though.
“The mirror in my hotel bathroom has an antifog section. Unfortunately, I’m 5’2″.”
I feel like the world is made for tall and average-sized people, which means poor short people have to suffer. You wanted to see your reflection after a shower? Well too bad! You have to be tall enough to do that.
“Part of my Vanilla pod turned bright blue after putting it in alcohol.”
For those who don’t know, this is how you make pure vanilla extract (you don’t taste the alcohol after it’s been cooked in something). So all of that is fine.
What isn’t fine, though, is the weird blue stuff. What is that?
“I dropped a yogurt on the floor and the biggest splatter went right into the electrical outlet.”
This is incredibly specific. Like, out of all the directions that yogurt could’ve flown in, it ended up landing on the only outlet in the area? Maybe that yogurt is possessed, and likes to make sure people have bad days.
“The residential neighborhoods in my town are still lit only by gas light.”
We have electricity. We have solar power. We have… car headlights? And yet, this street is still using gas-lit lamps. I seriously hope this picture isn’t trying to gaslight me (okay, I’ll show myself out).
“Neighbor’s 12yo grandkid decided to sneak in the car and take a joyride. Freaked out, hit the gas, and crossed their lawn and mine to hit the front of my house.”
Yeah, kids without licenses and moving vehicles make for a bad combination. Hopefully someone’s insurance will be able to cover that, though, or else it would make matters so much worse.
“Our landlord ‘urgently’ needed to remove the broken panel heater in July, leaving us with this hole. It’s now November and apparently repairing the hole wasn’t as urgent…”
Oh sure, the landlord can “forget” to fix a giant whole in their tenant’s wall, but if you “forget” to pay rent it’s suddenly the end of the world. Typical.
“The way the light hits this spiderweb makes it look like a CD-rom.”
So… you’re telling me that there’s no CD in this picture? That’s just crazy! But it also means that the spider that spun this web spent a lot of time on it, which is sort of impressive, I guess.
