This bizarre Tumblr thread explains some of the strange stuff trees do that we don't. It's vaguely unsettling, and it's also beautiful. That last part about the grafters putting fruiting branches on non-fruiting trees was a trip.
wtf
A lot of people have a fear of open water, and that fear kinda makes sense. Whether it's the isolation, the exposure to the elements, or the danger of unseen wild animals, it makes sense that people, especially sailors have creepy stories of things that happened at sea.
When it comes to man made stuff versus trees, it's easy for us to win the battle, but over time, vegetation wins the war. In only a few years trees overgrow the stuff we shove into them and cover them with, and it looks remarkably like they're straight up eating it. It's common to see hungry trees enveloping stuff.
As life gets weirder and weirder, strange moments of misfortune are still going on. While the world has it's challenges, people are still dropping mountains of eggs, having their lives invaded by cows, and leaving their car parked in the exact spot where it can get crushed. So here are some more Monday misfortune moments.
We personally have done some ridiculously inconvenient things to save not enough money. When you realize that you're spending 3 hours and gas money to go to a store the next town over save three dollars on apple juice, it really makes you reevaluate how much your time is worth. That said, we love a deal and here are stories of people's sketchy cheap buys that ended up being their best purchases. On the other side there are people who try to bully and swindle people out of their dollars or complain over the contents of a dollar taco, and those entitled people need to pack up their rotten attitudes.
Sure, sometimes the truth is indeed stranger than fiction. That being said, we'd be very surprised if all these fun and absurd tidbits of "history knowledge" went on to be true. But hey, the world is a strange place, and human beings have acted out in all kinds of bizarre ways for a very long time.
Sailors see some haunting sights while out at sea. There's a whole lot of unexplored space out in those oceans, and mysterious creatures that look like they swam right out of a fever dream can present themselves at spontaneous times, to sailors. The thought of being out in the middle of nowhere on a big body of pitch black water, and suddenly seeing some unexplainable phenomenon that looks like a monster from the underworld itself, is enough to send chills down the spine. Nope. I'm good.
People get married for a lot of reasons. You hope it's because they love each other. Sadly, and more dramatically, people get married over lies and convenience. Sometimes it's even made clear during the wedding that it's not gonna work out. For more wedding drama, here are some wedding meltdown stories as well as the time a bridezilla kept 30K in gifts after cancelling her wedding.
The world has its fair share of entitled people who need to pack up their rotten attitudes. Being in need is one thing, but being straight up abusive because you want a stranger to deliver a camera to your house for 5 dollars is some completely irrational behavior. People of all stripes need to recognize and and quit it with their unreasonable demands.
Buckle up and brace the self for a wild ride down a rabbit hole that ultimately suggests the world ended in 2012. The dude makes some strange "connections" and at one point even brings up some kind of "time traveling experiment" that turned up strange results, with people not being able to time travel past 2012.
Flying can be a stressful experience already, and problem flyers can cause some drama. This woman asked the internet if she was wrong to stick to her guns and maintain her dominion over the seats she paid for. If she wasn't injured and hadn't paid for the seats things might be different, but as it stands it seems pretty clear.
When it comes to crimes against food, there are people who eat food the wrong way, but evidently there are also people who create food that never should have existed in the first place. Here are the worst ice creams people had that were made out of novelty, curiosity or mistake.
Ah, yes, the weird world of buying and selling secondhand items. Take for instance, that video game that looks like it was Glad wrapped. Not exactly what someone has in mind when they think they're buying a new and unopened video game. People are bound to slap prices, and sometimes insane ones, on just about anything they can find lying around the house. That broken pencil, or rock you just pulled out of your shoe, or beard trimmings? Maybe it's worth a couple hundred bucks if you're willing to shed rationality and all common sense.
