As highly impressionable people, we can't help but see the personality in inanimate objects. Whether it's a rock that looks like goblin, a stop sign that looks really surprised, or just a nonplussed lemon, there's no way we can't see faces in random things. And it's not just limited to faces. There are characters, logos, and whole flippin' dragons just hanging out as inanimate objects that look like other stuff.

When the average person sees an exquisitely painted image of Red Skelton being accepted into clown heaven, the first thoughts one might have will likely be something along the lines of "Huh, I didn't know clowns had souls" or "why does that one bear such a striking resemblance to John Wayne Gacy?" But some of us, a very select few, might think "finally I have something to replace the cross above my bed." Hey man, everyone has their thing, and that's where we get skillful creations of absurd taste.

We thought our interest in liquid nitrogen would end in high school, but clearly it hasn't, because we're watching grime boil at room temperature while hooting like morons. Will we compare every sentient-looking mass to Venom forever? Yes. Does that make us look like uncultured cretins? You bet your doodle. Does this look wacky nonetheless? Yes also.
What do we do with useless garbage? Obviously, try to sell that weird junk online. Does anyone need an extended lawnmower or thousands of empty cans of Mountain Dew? Who knows, but maybe someone will find a use for it. Got a horrible or weird art project like baby planters or dog wigs?Try to sell that ridiculous junk too. Who could it hurt by asking?
There are definitely a few ways to take this whole "what do you think the future will be like" thing and honestly opinions are mixed. Maybe in ten years we'll all be eating cheap tasty lab-grown barbeque and driving electric cars to Call-Of-Duty night at the senior center. Or maybe we'll all have to move back into our parents houses because the tri-annual firestorms burned down our coffin-sized micro-studio apartments. Possibly a rise of cults? Maybe a mix of everything? If it's anything like most predictions of the future, all of these are probably completely wrong.

There are a few ways to interpret the intriguing genetic diversity of human beings. One way is to look in awe at the limitless possibilities of our own twisting evolutionary path. The other way is to look in shame at our own genetic dead-end bodies, every day becoming more self-conscious about our weird nostrils and non-matching feet. But in the end, genetic variation is a good thing for survival and who knows, maybe the next great step in human evolution will be having a slightly longer big toe that helps us run away from the murder-bots or something. At least we can look at our grandparents for comparison like this tumblr user looks at their ageless matriarch.
Existence is quite bizarre. Sometimes we can end up taking that for granted, and then suddenly, life throws us a reality-shattering curveball that leaves us unable to figure out what happened no matter how much analysis and logic are applied to the strange event. This fun and disorienting AskReddit thread takes us down a lightly unsettling rabbit hole, where people share their most unforgettable "glitch in the matrix" moments.
The world is big and there's a lot going on, so almost paradoxically, a whole lot of rare and unlikely things happen. Not just that, many of us have some extremely rare quality or achievement that no one would have thought about before we mentioned it. (Side note, boy howdy do people have some unconventional diseases.) We're all subject to weird goings-on, so naturally we also have stories of strange events we can't explain logically.

What does it take to feel less dumb? It's something we all struggle with a lot. The short answer is "knowing things." But what things should we know? Upsetting facts that won't help anyone's mood? Maybe some totally useless facts? Maybe it's better to focus on the bright side and know some wholesome facts that are nice for a change. Whatever path we choose, there's always something interesting to know.

Not sure how open container laws work wherever they are, but it stands to reason that if that guy wasn't good to drive, he probably wouldn't be nearly as capable of balancing a full glass of beer on his head while riding.
They say we wear our personalities on our sleeves, but when the shirts come without sleeves we have to settle for the chest region. From the arbitrary and absurd tough guy shirts to the cursed shirts that shouldn't exist, it's clear that in this day and age, there's no limit to the specific, dark and insane crap you can walk around wearing.

Listen, no one is saying that a tattoo of Bobby Hill as Sailor Moon is inherently a bad thing. In fact, it can be done incredibly well. The real question people have is "why?" With enough artistic follow-through, any bad or weird idea can become a skillful creation of absurd taste. The world needs its hamburger dune buggies and armchairs with literal arms. They're impressive. They're also impressive creations of dubious taste.
The universe is stuffed to the brim with an infinite amount of mysteries. There's so much to this life that we'll never understand. To make it even more endlessly strange, many of us have experienced those unexplainable "glitch in the matrix" moments where it's as if reality itself bugged out for a hot second. This can manifest as weird patterns that escape logic altogether. So, buckle up and brace yourself for this rollercoaster of bizarre stories.
It used to be that pizza delivery drivers bore the brunt of the weirdness, but now that people can have basically anything brought to their door, it widens the scope of strange and intriguing situations strangers can have with each other. 20 pizzas to an elks lodge? Makes sense. 20 bunches of bananas to a hotel room at 3 in the morning? Well, hopefully they tip well as an apology for what you're about to see.
If you've ever had the vague feeling that someone was upset with you, then why not indulge that feeling with the sight of inanimate objects that seem to be angry, frustrated and scared! There's just something about us that wants to see faces in things. Whether that's a fun creative exercise or a millennia of fear forcing us to look for predators, it sure seems like some inanimate objects have a whole lot of personality.
You can't knock people for their hustle, even when that hustle is trying to re-brand a useless 70-year-old couch as "vintage." Okay, maybe you can knock them a little bit. People will create and find some strange and dumb junk and immediately think that someone might pay top dollar for it. At least some folks have a sense of humor about it.
