Tumblr is a website of thoughts bouncing from one thing to another, filled with Tumblr rabbit holes to fill time and wildly creative thoughts like the idea of an alien invasion being fought off by wildlife. That said, a lot of it is silly puns, weird facts and people being dumb for dumbness sake.
Man, you don't see that everyday. Let's take the moment to appreciate this guy's focus on identifying those plants at the scene of the old plane crash, before actually getting on to figuring that out.

For some stuff on the more uncomfortable side of things, here are freaky cursed images to feel uncomfortable about. And here are some more strange images worthy of being deemed too much internet for today.
This weird and educational AskReddit thread has folks sharing various psychology experiments that turned up interesting results. A whole lot of these results just illustrate a larger picture that our brains are these strange instruments that are doing the best they can, in a reality they're taking their best guesses at. Some studies are more unsettling than others, so proceed at your own risk.
