I thought this was a timelapse, or maybe a Photoshop designed to illustrate the phases of passing out on the train. But no, this is three different but identical guys, all passed out.

Guinness is a heavy, traditional beer. But the stuff you get at the bar isn’t nearly as O.G. as this. These two bottles of Guinness date back to the early 1870s.

Toilet with a view.

This toilet in the Swiss Alps is so picturesque that you almost need to leave the door open. Sure, you’ll lose privacy and get a bit chilly, but look at that view!

This isn’t unedited — it’s created from stitching together photos taken from a drone. Still, it totally breaks my brain. It’s like something out of Inception .

This is a summer roll that’s been left out for just four days. The bean sprouts are no longer safe to eat, but that’s okay because they’ve moved onto their next phase and started sprouting.

The unique shape of a Pringles potato chip (mathematically known as a hyperbolic paraboloid, don’tcha know) makes it perfect for weird construction projects such as this.

Holland is a country of canals and rivers, so it stands to reason that certain areas, like the village of Giethoorn here, totally eschew roads in favor of waterways.

The wage system in North America, in which people in the service industry are paid less than minimum wage while customers supplement their income through tips, is wack. It’s nice to see progressive restaurants like this one.

Whoever owns this property in Chicago wasn’t going to be pushed around by the big developers putting up highrises next door.

Fairy tale snow.

Sometimes we do get a taste of magic, like how the snow that had fallen on a slide seemed to fold itself away and tuck itself in for the night.

Out of date, but not out of date.

Once upon a time at the turn of the millennium, a legion of software nerds had to make sure the dates on all the electronic devices in the world didn’t make them go bonkers. The good news is that all these leftover “Y2K Compliant” stickers still apply — I mean, obviously all the stuff manufactured today is, indeed, Y2K compliant.

Thanks, I think.

As the uploader explained, their surgeon returned the plate and screws that had been attached to this person’s clavicle. It’s fascinating, but still not sure I would want that particular memento.

In Maine, the snow did not act at all fairy tale-like, as wind whipped through with such ferocity that the snow started to make its own snowballs.

Much like that toothpaste shows what all the ingredients are for, this fair trade chocolate bar shows what percentages of the purchase go to which causes.

While it’s not unusual for book and record stores to feature some of the staff’s favorites, this library works a little differently.

Image credit: Reddit | Stephendelg
Reddit | Stephendelg

Perhaps to arouse our morbid curiosity, the employees here instead decided to dedicate a section to the books they hated.

Other than Practical Magic and a couple of entries in the 50 Shades series, however, I can’t say I recognize most of these.

Upon seeing this, it would be pretty easy for someone to wonder how this mysterious hole appeared in their floor.

Image credit: Reddit | neco61

However, it turns out that this isn’t a hole at all, but rather a single piece of confetti (a confetto, I suppose) that closely matches the color of the floor.

Whoever designed this Australian bus clearly knew what a lot of people visit the nation to do.

As the sign next to this installation makes clear, it’s specifically designed to hold surfboards.

It’s actually a little hard to tell how they did it, but it’s pretty clear that someone managed to make a cubed snowman.

I’m not sure how it feels to live inside this building in Taranto, Italy, but it’s definitely a little jarring to look at.

It’s been compared to a Rubik’s cube and I suppose I’ll admit that there is some niggling part of me that wants to adjust the middle parts.

It’s too bad that’s more or less impossible for me.

At first glance, it’s pretty hard to tell what we’re even looking at.

But just like it’s possible to bake a rainbow cake, it’s apparently also not out of the question to make a similarly colorful bagel.

It kind of looks like it’s made of Play-Doh, doesn’t it?

When we see renderings of ships that existed hundreds of years ago, it’s pretty easy to forget how big they were.

Image credit: Reddit | Stricker78
Reddit | Stricker78

For instance, this was just one flag that flew on a Spanish ship involved in the Battle of Trafalgar back in 1805. Understanding its size is a lot like realizing just how big those road signs that hang over highways are.

Something about this photo makes this urban river scene look like a model, doesn’t it?

Image credit: Reddit | awesomea232
Reddit | awesomea232

Well, I can tell you exactly what that “something” is.

It’s a tilt-shift lens that makes both the deepest background and foreground unnaturally out of focus, which tricks our eyes into thinking the subject is both closer and smaller than it really is.

This beautifully colorful effect gives us all a little lesson in iridescence.

Image credit: Reddit | CRI0ST0IR

I’m sorry to say that this snake’s scales don’t usually feature this dazzling rainbow pattern, but take on that appearance depending on the angle at which they’re seen or lit.

You’ll see the same effect in bubbles.

This was described as a “perfectly waxed car” and that’s a pretty hard statement to argue with.

Image credit: Reddit | roxannamir
Reddit | roxannamir

After all, it takes a surprisingly long time to tell that there’s even a car here.

It starts to fall into place once you realize that black part at center left is a tire, but it still makes this car look like it has some kind of stealth camouflage technology active.

Due to animal cruelty concerns and general declines in popularity, you’ve likely noticed that circuses are kind of on their way out.

Image credit: Reddit | devthelord7
Reddit | devthelord7

However, one German circus company was inspired to address the public’s biggest problem with them.

Now, they feature these hologram animals instead of contributing to the need for the frankly horrifying training program performing elephants go through.

Nobody truly knows where this spent bullet came from.

Image credit: Reddit | alex_cabib

All the uploader knows is that it fell out of the sky, which likely means that it entered their life after someone else fired it into the air.

Yeah, it turns out that there are much better ways to celebrate big milestones than with gunfire.

This comparison was captioned, “Same person, different location”. It’s pretty cool how the baby’s traits from its time in the womb have carried over into its infancy.
