There are times when things just look like other things. It could be because they were damaged or shaped a certain way, or it could be because our minds our playing tricks on us. But this happens all the time.
And when it comes to the pics in this list, I’m not the only one who sees it, right? These things look like other things!
“The foam in my drink looks like a penguin.”
Yeah, I totally see a bird in there. It kind of looks like a penguin, but strangely enough it also looks like a hawk, or, like, a kiwi. Basically, it could be a bunch of different birds, not just a penguin.
The way this opened-up mango pit looks like some fungi.
I’ve never once wondered what the inside of a mango seed looked like. But now I know. And even though the angle makes the whole opened pit look like some kind of fuzzy mushroom, I can kind of see the seed shape.
“The rust on this cart looks like Abraham Lincoln.”
Honestly, it kind of does look like Abraham Lincoln. Like, very specifically like him, and not just the profile of some random man. All it’s missing is a rusty hat, and the look would be complete.
The reflection in this puddle that looks more like a painting.
If you told me this was a digital painting, I’d believe it. But nope, it’s just a puddle on the ground that has a pretty cool reflection in it.
Why do I wish I had a framed print of this on my wall?
“The bubbles in my tea formed a paw print.”
Is it just me, or does this bubble formation specifically look like a bear paw? Like, it could’ve been from any animal I guess. I’m just really getting bear vibes from it.
“A homemade Rorschach test I made. What do y’all see?”
I’m sure different people are going to see different things, but to me, it looks like some kind of high-tech chair that a super villain would sit in. The little blobs surrounding it are, like, screens or something.
The way the inside of this artichoke kind of looks like a face.
I’ve never seen the inside of an artichoke before, but now that I’ve seen this one, I’m going to be convinced that they all look like they have little faces in them. Like, I can’t be the only one who sees little eyes and a mouth, right?
The extra toilet paper in this toilet paper roll looks a bit like sushi…
I would definitely advise against eating this sushi roll (especially since it’s actually toilet paper). It wouldn’t even be good if it was real, it would just be all rice and nothing else.
“This crane was giraffe patterned.”
I’m sure this doesn’t make actually working on a crane any better or worse, but at least it makes the machinery look a little more fun. If only all construction machines looked this nice.
This moss-covered shoe that looks like a mini planet.
I can picture it now. A whole sci-fi or fantasy novel set in a world that’s shaped like a shoe. I don’t know what kind of story it would have, but I’m sure it would be a wild ride.
RELATED STORIES
This creative cable Christmas tree.
This is definitely a creative use of green cables. And, I mean, why not? I’m sure there are all sorts of creative ways to make Christmas decorations out of everyday items. I’m starting to get some ideas…
This window frost that looks like a tree.
Honestly, ice can be so cool at times. Sure, the cold kind of sucks. But frost on a window can make such awesome shapes.
In this case, all those icy tendrils look like branches in a tree. So cool!
“A pan was left in the oven at work and the saltwater at the bottom recrystallized.”
This salt looks like, well, like a bunch of squares. It’s so weird to me that salt just does this when the right conditions are met. Salt is such a weird, cool thing.
“Blood Falls,” which, well, looks like how you’d think.
Don’t worry, there’s no blood in that icy waterfall. The description for this picture is as follows:
“Blood Falls seeps from the end of the Taylor Glacier into Lake Bonney. The tent at left provides a sense of scale for just how big the phenomenon is. Scientists believe a buried saltwater reservoir is partly responsible for the discoloration, which is a form of reduced iron.”
Wild.
“What a pinecone looks like before it opens up.”
I definitely thought this was some kind of giant bug larva at first. And yeah, I was going to freak out a little. But then I saw the caption and calmed down. Just a pinecone. I can live with that.
“An industrial laundry dryer turned this pen into a banana.”
This kind of looks like one of those banana candies. You know, this little hard candies that come in different fruit shapes?
But it’s actually a pen. I probably wouldn’t have guessed that in a million years.
“The size of this tick I found on my dog.”
This tick looks like the tick final boss. It’s way too big for its own good (or for anyone else’s). But at least that makes it more visible, so this owner could get it off their dog easier.
“My pork chops look like Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.”
It’s not uncommon for a piece of food to look like a country or state. But imagine having four pork chops that each look like a different state. Before you know it, you could have a whole pork chop country!
“These plants look like pebbles in Singapore’s Garden by the Bay.”
Yeah, those plants definitely look very un-plantlike. They almost look like pill tablets (as well as looking like pebbles), but I definitely wouldn’t be trying to put them in my mouth. That probably wouldn’t be a good idea.
“Tiny bananas, but they’re actually eggplant stamens.”
I’m so amazed by how many things in the world look kind of like bananas. First, a pen that got warped by a dryer. And now this eggplant flower’s stamens. What’s next, bananas that look like bananas!?
