There’s, like, a weird amount of things in the world that are, well, weird. And the worst part about them is that you almost always have questions that never get answered.
In fact, you always end up with more questions than you’d think. And yes, the strange things in this list are no exception. Be prepared to be confused.
RELATED STORIES
“My parents silverware is purple.”
In other words, it’s purpleware (low-hanging fruit, I know).
No but seriously, why is this cutlery purple? How did it become purple (or, like, did it come like that)? And most importantly, where can I get some?
“Found a hermit crab using litter as a home today.”
This is both confusing and upsetting. It’s pretty clear that human trash is taking over the oceans and sea life. But also… why did this crab choose to live in a random piece of junk?
“Bubbles in my egg yolk formed a paw print.”
I… didn’t even know bubbles could form inside of an egg yolk in the first place. Of course, now I’m questioning how that even happens. And how it ended up shaped like a paw, of course.
“There’s a fork in this road.”
Not what usually comes to mind when someone talks about a fork in the road, but still great. I wonder if someone put the fork there on purpose, just so they could make that pun.
“This picture of a jigsaw puzzle of a picture of a jigsaw puzzle of a picture of a jigsaw puzzle of a…”
This is starting to give me a headache. It’s bad enough that the puzzle is a picture of the box with a picture of the box in it, and so on. But we also have to see a picture of the box that has a picture of the… you know what? You get it.
“Some creative person added a foot to this stone paved area at a hidden picnic spot in the mountains.”
Yeah, I have a lot of questions here. Most of them revolve around the toes themselves, and why they look like potatoes. And how someone embedded them into the bigger rock, of course.
“My 2 year old Basil plant looking like a tree.”
As someone who’s attempted to grow basil plants multiple times in the past (and failed every single time), I’d like to know what this person did to get their plant looking like it took steroids.
“This airport only has folding chairs.”
You’d think that some place like an airport would be able to afford nicer chairs…
Apparently, this airport is in Idaho. That… doesn’t really explain all that much, to be honest.
“My gym still has vault in the basement from the bank that preceded it in that location.”
Okay, so we know why there’s a creepy door along that gym wall. What we don’t know, though, is why the owners didn’t do anything to make the door look less like somewhere a serial killer would take you to finish the job.
“An orange slice puffed up.”
I… don’t even know what to say about this. It’s a puffed up orange slice. It’s weird, not to mention kind of gross-looking, but at least you can probably still eat it. But, like, would you want to?
“My Lego set has the greatest amount of frogs in any Lego set (Top right).”
That is a very fascinating, albeit incredibly useless fact about this LEGO bonsai. Personally, I’d really like to know why LEGO felt the need to brag about that.
“This tree with verdigris.”
OP also clarified that “It’s lichen.” To be completely honest, that doesn’t really clear things up. But on the plus side, we can at least stare at this weird, fascinating, creepy, and kind of beautiful tree.
“An insanely rainy season with flooding caused some roads to grow over from lack of being driven on.”
When people talk about nature healing itself, this is what I imagine. Still, you’d need to have a lot of water for a road to become this overgrown. Which is, like, kind of frightening, actually.
“Found him along with veggies.”
This person seems pretty calm for someone who’s just found a snake hiding in their okra and peppers (at least, based on the caption). Here’s hoping that this thing isn’t super poisonous or deadly…
“Cool little ice formation along this fence.”
I’m sure there’s some kind of scientific explanation that could tell us why these icicles are doing this. Too bad we’ll probably never know what that scientific explanation really is…
“Random luck saved me from losing my necklace. I noticed this morning it was undone, but miraculously some hair held it together !! It means a lot to me as it’s a family heirloom, I would have been devastated to lose it.”
Usually, hair getting caught in your jewelry is a nuisance. This time, though, it weirdly came through and saved the day.
“Fresh snow records the moment a small mammal met their end.”
There’s a lot going on here (or, a lot went on there at one point), and I honestly have too many questions about it. Like, what happened in the first place? What animals were involved?
“Found 50 bucks outside my house in the leaves and mud with a rock on it but wasn’t there yesterday.”
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but… something about the fact that it was under a rock makes it seem a little intentional. But why would anyone leave a $50 bill on the dirty ground like that?
“The patterns this chair has left on the floor at my doctor’s office.”
At a glance, it looks like there’s a lot of texture on the floor. But it’s just an absurd amount of scuff marks.
Okay but seriously, how do you scuff up a floor this much?
“There is a beer button on my son’s toy cash register.”
That seems like a totally weird and wildly inappropriate thing to have on a toy that’s clearly meant for small kids. Then again, I’m sure this person’s son isn’t really going to care that much.
