Sometimes, when you don’t expect to see something in a picture, it can really take you by surprise. You might be tempted to take a second look at that strange pic, just to make sure you’re really seeing what you thought you saw.
And yes, you’re probably going to have to do that here, too. But don’t worry, these pics aren’t too unbelievable .
“I took a picture of a bald eagle mid-blink.”
At first glance, there isn’t anything out of the ordinary. But look a little closer at the eagle’s eye, and you might be in for a bit of a surprise.
Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any kind of bird blink before, so this is a new one for me, too.
This abnormally long watermelon among a bunch of regular-sized one.
This one watermelon is so long, it almost doesn’t look like a melon at all! In fact, it looks a lot more like some sort of giant squash than a melon.
But squash and melons are related, so that kind of makes sense?
All these tennis balls that got stuck in between the fences at a tennis court.
If you aren’t paying attention, you might take this for some kind of strange plant growing along the fence. But nope, that’s a bunch of tennis balls. Makes sense, since this is near a tennis court. But you’d think someone would clean those up.
“Found this adder stone while in the river—they have holes going through them that have been formed naturally over time.”
Piece of plastic with a hole in it? Nope. Actual stone with a naturally formed hole in it? Yes, somehow.
Yeah, I’m not sure how it works either. But I believe it!
This chicken strip looks a lot like a certain continent.
Yup, that’s right. This abnormally-shaped chicken strip looks more like Africa than anything else. It almost makes you think that it’s part of some kind of meal combo that’s meant to look like the world map. But no, it was just formed weird.
“Longest single page document I’ve come across. (~13ft basic electrical forging press 1963 e:1977).”
You know, that could’ve easily just been a booklet. I don’t even want to think about trying to read every word on that abnormally long page. But somehow, the idea of flipping through a book seems a lot more appealing.
“The amount of toilet paper remaining is directly proportional to each roll’s distance from the seat.”
This sort of makes you wonder why they bother putting so many different toilet paper rolls in there in the first place. They could’ve easily gotten away with one or two. It’s just strange, to be honest.
These parcels that have way too many stamps on them.
I’m wondering if the people who sent these boxes know how to send packages. Because you don’t need that many stamps. Sure, they look cool. But it’s also a colossal waste of money (because, for those of us who haven’t sent a letter or package before, stamps cost money).
“Said to my wife these houses have a bug problem, she didn’t get it.”
I don’t think I’ve seen someone driving a Beetle in years. They don’t seem to be as popular here as they used to be. But somehow, not only is there one in a neighbor’s driveway, but there’s a second one in another neighbor’s driveway! Crazy!
There’s something strange about this chocolate milk carton…
Yeah, I don’t like the look of this. It took me a second to realize that the creepy milk mascot wants kids to know their own personal info, not that it wanted to know that info. Could’ve been a better mascot, I think.
The way these boats look like they’re floating in the sky.
The perspective of this photo is unreal. At a glance, it kind of looks like these boats are in the sky, looking down at the festival on the grass. But that’s water, of course. No one’s defying physics over here.
“My dog does the splits when she sits.”
This dog is, without a doubt, a good girl. But the way she sits is confusing. Do dogs even find sitting like that comfortable? I can’t imagine they would.
Don’t worry though, she’s probably fine. Some dogs just sit weird and we have to accept that.

“This tree that fell and bisected another tree.”
Nature is just so strange. How trees survive after having the weirdest things happen to them, I’ll never know. I just know that they keep chugging, giving us super weird pictures like this.
And it honestly took me a few seconds to even get what I was looking at.
This wasp nest inside of a window.
This is one thing that would make me turn around and walk out of a room. And scream, probably. Even though those wasps aren’t technically inside, they’re too close. It’s much too risky to keep them around. Time to call your friendly neighborhood exterminator.
“Cut open my tomato to find it had started germinating.”
I can’t be the only one who thought there were a bunch of worms wriggling out of that slice of tomato, right? Because those sprouts really look like worms. Or, like maggots or something.
On the plus side, it isn’t actually anything gross.
This street sign that lives up to its name.
This bent sign would be strange enough on its own. But the fact that the bent sign is for a place called Bent St., that makes it a lot more fascinating to look at. I wonder what came first, the bent sign, or the street name.
“iRony.”
You mean you have all those cleaning robots on the wall, and you’re still busting out a mop to clean up the floor? Yeah, there’s definitely some iRony right there.
It’s funny, though, I didn’t even notice the woman mopping at first, just the massive wall of floor cleaning robots.
“This truck was carrying a toy construction truck and was properly tied down.”
Somewhere out there, some kid is probably super excited by this. But for most of the people on the road with this truck, they’re probably just confused. I know I am, and I’m just looking at a picture of it.
“My hotel used to be a prison.”
I don’t know if I could bring myself to stay in this hotel. Even just looking at the picture feels really unsettling. They did a pretty good job with the decor, but it still feels all small and oppressive, like a prison.
I’d be afraid I wouldn’t be allowed to leave.
A sign that tries to keep people from peeing in a public pool.
Well, that’s one way to scare people (kids) into not peeing in a public pool.
I wonder how effective this sign is. I, for one, would not pee in any pool, but especially not this one. But would kids take it seriously?
