Life’s all about the details: small pieces of humanity scattered around, ones that make us smile and enjoy living a tiny bit more. Like a chance encounter, there are some cool things we’re just meant to see.
Luckily for us, these people got those moments on camera, and posted them for the rest of the world!

Now this is a throne fit for an evil cartoon villain king. Or whoever owns that flip flop.

Fit with little ducky steps to they don’t slide down! It’s a new life goal of mine to see a duck use something like this.

That’s a lot of potassium! Well, I guess if you put all four together it’d be close to a regular banana, so…that’s a normal amount of potassium!

Sand sculpture, or tiny village for a community of beach fairies? I guess you gotta wait and see.

Are we sure it says what the English half says? That dog looks pretty disturbed… Who knows what it read.
