weird

We tend to overlook the power of trees. Most of the time they just stand there, not bothering anyone. But given enough time, a hungry tree can envelope tons of stuff. Trees will munch on mailboxes. old toys, signs, and just about anything they can get their limbs on.

It doesn't take a lot to trick a brain into double-taking. A small shadow here, a reflection here, and some slightly confusing background over there. Just a few small inconsistencies and all of a sudden that dog is riding a bicycle. Double-take inducing images of skewed perspective are here to give those eyes a workout.

It shouldn't be a surprise that people are weird. We're weird as heck. We make life-like werewolf babies and fill our biceps with synthetic polymers until we look like cartoons. Naturally all those cursed images end up in the wonderful worldwide receptacle we call the internet. The weirdness never ends.

There are many clear signs that kids are weird and stupid, but sometimes that weirdness manifests itself as intense creepiness. Being  impressionable and not really understanding the world too good, kids have extremely vivid imaginations and sometimes just say things. Things about faces in the walls and dead people watching them. The kind of things you really hope are untrue.

It's posts like these that can serve as a reminder that there are a whole lot of weird things going on out in that crazy world that you luckily don't have to deal with. You know, like a staircase that's aggressively outfitted in literal hair. Or, or maybe that one building that's literally positioned sideways. No idea what's going on with that. 

The brain usually does a good job figuring out what the eyes are giving it, but sometimes, when you're looking at double-take-causing images of skewed perspective, your brain just might make a mistake, and figure that that yeah, totally, that's a seagull wearing shoes. Whether it's an extra long horse or a cat with a human butt, there's no end to the strange illusions caused by weird perspective.

Whether it's a Dorito full of screws, an unfinished meal, a sofa made of crushed doll heads or a stolen port-a-potty, people will still try to make a buck out of it online. Craigslist, Ebay, and trading pages are home of some of the weirdest business propositions and posts that you can come across. If it's dumb junk, then someone will try to sell it online.

Why do we get joy out of seeing things in other things? Is it because we want to imagine we're surrounded by friendly objects? Is it because it's like a fun visual puzzle? Maybe it's because we're just wired to see faces? It's very apparent in these inanimate objects with a whole lot of personality.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the scariest space facts and mysteries that people know about. It's easy to forget that we're on a giant rock flying and falling and spinning madly on through space. I mean, we forget to look up at the sky enough as it is. Maybe a convenient forgetfulness. 

Ah, yes, the wonderful old "blursed image", where cursed meets blessed, and makes us feel uncomfortable while strangely comforted at the same time. You just have to see these blursed images to know what we're talking about. 

Check out these weird cursed images to feel uncomfortable about.

So, in case you didn't already know, apparently it's not totally normal to go about your daily existence seeing "visual snow." So many folks just assume that this is how eyes work, and yeah, they're definitely not supposed to do that. Maybe this will be the little bit of enlightening information that you had no idea you needed. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this post where Tumblr goes full mythological scientist mode on dragons. 

Kids are weird people. For some reason they have this drive to sarcastically worship strange idols, like the time this teacher's whole class started worshipping a stuffed octopus. It's a little comforting to know that people are strange everywhere and there's no escaping it, sort of like this epic tumblr saga of goat guy.

It's hard when something extremely strange or unlikely happens, because you want to tell someone without sounding like a liar or moron. People are right to be skeptical, but why would anyone lie about walking in on a vested goat eating a roll of toilet paper? You've got moments like these strange events people can't explain logically that make you think, "how am I gonna tell anyone about this?" It's so hard to explain rare and unlikely moments that went against the odds. 

Why does anyone ever post something for sale online? It might be that they're trying to get rid of some garbage. It could be they've got something rare but devoid of value, like a Dorito shaped like Lincoln's head. It could be that they need an outlet for their horrible art project. Why is is always creepy dolls? There's no end to the weird and ridiculous junk people try to sell online.

Bootleg products never fail to capture our imaginations. When it comes to off brand toys, some are just weird amalgams of spare parts and others are freaky new mutations. Outside the safe and predictable world of branded, trademarked products lies an untamed land of uncredible bootleg products. Welcome to the jungle, baby. 

Our brains think they're good at identifying things, but sometimes it's better to clear the pipes and show those brains of ours just how dumb they really are. A few double take images of skewed perspective are enough to show your brain that it's not so smart after all. Take that brain, you wet, electricity-powered moron.
