16 Mind-Boggling Moments That Defy Explanation
That is not a cat in the dryer...what is it?
What looks like a black cat with eyes is actually black pants with metal rings for the drawstrings.
This TV is LEVEL...
Here is proof. Explain how.
The TV is pulled away from the wall and the weird angle the photo was taken makes it look crooked.
Why do these library shelves look so trippy?
u/CurlSagan perfectly explained: "This actually serves a neat purpose. All these windows are spots where people are supposed to put books that need to be reshelved. Since all the windows are lined up, a librarian can look down the entire span and see, 'Oh, I need to go six rows down and reshelf those books.' That way they don't have to go up and down every individual aisle."
Why do all the items in this grocery store look miniature?
The photo was taken from a second level, looking down, so everything looks small!
Are these real horses on a roof?
The original poster u/Aki2403 explained: "No editing involved. There is a hill behind the bungalow which when you take a picture from the correct angle lines up perfectly with the roof."
Is this a hanging bear head or a scary spider?
Neither! It is a sloth, hanging upside down.
What is this a photo of?
It is a picture of a pool, under water, during rain, upside down!
Where is the rest of this girl's body?
The foreground is elevated with a ledge, and she is standing behind it. She is on a lower surface.
These three workers are not wearing square hats. What are they?
It is an elevated part of the truck that happens to align with each one of their heads.
Why does this bird look like it is being boiled alive?
Thankfully it is not! It is just taking a little bird bath!
Is this some weird sky phenomenon?
Nope! Just rust on car.
Yikes! What happened here?
This is someone with a white manicure and they painted their hand to look like lips.
What is going on with this person's long leg?
The sectioned part of the mirror is making the person's leg look longer than it actually is.
At a glance, you may think this person is nude but they are not! Why does it look like they are?
The person's armpit crease in front of them happens to align in a way that makes it look like the person without a shirt is wearing their birthday suit.
Is this person missing their head?
Nope! They are doing a headstand, and their elbows are resting on the mat. Their hair is behind.
Lastly, is anyone driving this car?
The car is parked and you are seeing the reflection of Ana from Frozen with her hand on her hip, but it makes it look like her hand is on the steering wheel.

Redditor's ‘gross' new mattress is making me itch — what to do if your bed is delivered damaged
The natural response after unboxing a mattress is the primal urge to jump on the bed. But Reddit user DomenicGioffre had an altogether more nightmarish experience when unboxing their Prime Day mattress purchase. Describing the bed as "gross", they posted pictures of their new mattress displaying tell-tale signs of water damage and mold, despite being fresh out the box. "Horrifying!", from user Proof_Ad663, just about sums it up. A mattress will grow mold or mildew when moisture becomes trapped within the layers. This can be the result of spills and accidents, but it occurs during everyday use as sweat becomes absorbed by the mattress. For that reason, we recommend regularly airing your mattress. When you change your sheets, leave the mattress uncovered for several hours to allow moisture to dissipate. This prevents mildew building up during regular use. But while user Quintaneous suggests the damaged mattress has been handily "broke in", we think this is a case of manufacturer error. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's likely moisture got into the mattress either during the assembly process —boxing a mattress takes a lot of steps — or when the boxed bed sat in a warehouse waiting for delivery. These kinds of issues are rare — we test a lot of beds to find the best mattresses for all sleep styles (including Zinus mattresses, the brand behind the bed in question) and problems are few and far between. Even Reddit users have chimed in with their own positive Zinus mattress experiences (Moneymaker_Film says "I got the green tea one it's amazing and brand new" while GarnetandBlack describes their new Zinus as "pristine.") However, if you've unboxed your mattress to find something "beyond unusable," as jjopm describes, you'll need a way out of this nightmare. It's hard to identify if a mattress in a box is damaged until it's out of the packaging (although if the box or packaging appears compromised, halt set up until you can contact customer services.) Once unboxed, returning a mattress is a trickier process. Particularly if you've ordered from Amazon or other third-party retailers, which are less likely to offer a mattress warranty period. A warranty should cover any damage to your mattress, so follow these steps immediately after identifying the problem: Then the next problem: actually returning the mattress. Often a brand doesn't want the bed back, as it can't be resold, which means you need to get rid of it. But if they do want it back, we recommend getting a mattress bag and arranging a courier for collection. Otherwise, you'll need to dispose of the mattress. In cases of damage, it's unlikely you'll be able to donate or recycle the bed. Our guide to mattress disposal can help you find the right path to take. Reddit user wwydinthismess suggest if this happens to you, it's time to: "clean your apartment like crazy. You might have bed bugs now." However, bed bugs don't care if your bed is clean or dirty— the perfect mattress for a bed bug to thrive in is essentially any mattress that smells like their food source (bad news: that's you.) But if you're still feeling a little itchy, you might want to check for signs of bed bugs, to ensure no pests have been delivered to your bedroom. Bed bugs love the dark, so begin by checking in the cracks and crevices. Bed bug glue traps can help you identify an infestation before it gets going, while a diatomaceous earth barrier can keep pests from your mattress.

‘Cheapskate' diner takes back tip after being ‘humiliated' by server — but is he in the right?
He'd reached a 'no tipping' point. A diner has divided commenters after rescinding a gratuity after a waitress 'scolded' and 'humiliated' him in front of the other customers, as detailed in a viral Reddit post. 'I just can't believe it happened the way that it did,' spluttered the bewildered Redditor. The incident reportedly occurred while the man and his girlfriend were dining at an Italian restaurant they'd been to several times before. The poster described the eatery as nothing too fancy, but perfect for a 'relaxed evening' over a glass of wine. The unimpressed diner decided to leave her a 10% gratuity, which he deemed 'reasonable given the circumstances.' MargJohnsonVA – Unfortunately, their quiet night on the town was marred by 'poor' service from their waitress. 'She lost my drink twice; served the wrong starter; and vanished for what seemed like an eternity when it arrived time to order dessert,' recalled the flummoxed customer. 'It wasn't the end of the world; I've worked customer service myself; and I get that hectic nights go wild.' Nonetheless, the unimpressed diner decided to leave her a 10% gratuity, which he deemed 'reasonable given the circumstances.' The server, however, did not see it that way and proceeded to lay into the patron over what she felt was a stingy gratuity. 'We were just standing up to leave when [the waitress] came over, took the cash and said, 'Seriously? This is it?'' he recounted. 'She had said it audibly. A few people at some nearby tables turned around and stared.' The server laid into the patron over what she felt was a stingy gratuity. JackF – The Redditor said he was rendered speechless by the outburst, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. 'Then she added, 'You know, servers can't pay their rent because of people like you … If you can't tip properly, don't dine out,'' he said. The tirade reportedly caused the other patrons to fall silent and his girlfriend to wince, but the man remained calm and replied, 'I'm sorry you feel that way.' That's when the waitress retorted 'Whatever, cheapskates' — loud enough for the other diners to hear. This response didn't sit well with the diner, who 'walked over to the table; took the tip; and left without another word.' 'I feel like [being] scolded and humiliated on account of a 10% tip that I actually did leave is way out of bounds,' he declared. While the Redditor's girlfriend said his decision was 'fine,' a friend claimed that he'd 'overstepped.' However, many Reddit commenters claimed they would've taken their gratuity back as well. 'She expected and then demanded a good tip for a crappy job,' said one. 'You were nice enough to leave her something but she wanted to be ungrateful.' 'I would've told her 'tip reflects your service,'' said another. 'I would probably have pointed out why the tip was not higher,' said a third. 'And I would also contact the restaurant to speak to a manager because that server was way out of line. I would've taken the tip back as well.' However, others felt the tip retraction was unfair with one critic commenting, 'Tipping 10% is insane. You are cheap.' Another claimed that the 'petty' move inadvertently punished colleagues who were pooling tips with the waitress. They said that a better solution would've been to inform the manager and have them speak with her.

People Are Spilling The Secrets They Will Never, Ever, Ever, E-V-E-R Tell Their Parents
Reddit user ObligationInside7597 recently asked, "What secret are you hiding from your parents?" Here's what people spilled: 1."I lied to my parents about my high school results to avoid going to college. If they found out now, they'd make me quit my job as an engineer and force me back to get a degree." —No-Distance-2124 2."My wedding was really just a big party for family and friends because we secretly got married at a courthouse weeks beforehand. The only person who knows is my best friend, who officiated the (symbolic) ceremony." —eas6w4 3."I'm a pretty normal-looking blue-collar worker; A big 'straight' dude. I'm currently working as a male sex worker. No one who knows me would guess that." —The_Kaurtz 4."I blew a six-figure inheritance from my grandma on living the good life and some bad investments." —fumlakimbo 5."I have a complete sleeve on my left arm. When they visit, I put on long sleeves." —xavtsistag 6."That my wife and I are swingers, and every time we ask them to babysit, it's because we have a sex party or kink event to attend that evening. They always ask what we are up to, and I have endless excuses." —LanceHarmstrongMD 7."I (26f) moved to the UK to study. They don't know a boy (24m) moved to the UK with me. They don't know there's a boy. We've been living together for two years, sharing bills and everything. Like, we might as well be married. Now they are trying to get me to talk to some boys they think would be a good fit for me — typical Indian arranged marriage shit. Gotta slide this boy into a planned conversation." —Neat_Statement_9036 8."My parents are fundamentalist Christians who lean far right. They will never know I'm a leftist atheist. It's just not worth the strife. My wife and I just fake it once a year when we see them." —DrDoomblade 9."I'm getting a vasectomy on Friday, and they will never have grandchildren from me." —Boredom312 10."They still think I graduated from university. I actually dropped out in my final year and have been living a double life ever since, pretending I have a degree and a normal job." —krisberry2024 11."I am living with a guy whom I consider my husband of two years. We love each other very much and live in another country. I met him here. We also have a cat. My parents are demanding that I make something out of myself first before settling down, and want to make sure that I don't end up like my bio mom, who got pregnant at 18. I have always been a good student, and I graduated from university and studied abroad. But they still try to control my life. I'm 26 and most of my friends are already married with kids on the way, but I cannot even introduce my partner to my family because of how they will react. Growing up, they have always made me feel like such an utter failure, even if I make a small mistake." —PurpleYoghurt16 12."How disappointed I am in them. They are both Trump supporters, even after raising me to be an independent woman. Even after I adopted my Black daughter. Even after I gave birth to my biracial daughter using IVF. The amount of sadness, anger, and disappointment I feel for them is sometimes overwhelming." —WorkMomma88 13."I didn't forget about Father's Day. I purposely didn't get him anything because he preferred to go on holiday with his friend rather than be there to support me during my first marathon, which was a big achievement for me. He hasn't been present for many moments in my life, and I resent him for it. Once I move out, I'm really thinking of cutting him out of my life like I have done for my terrible mum as well." —DepartmentAware1530 14."I have my motorcycle license and a motorcycle. I've had it for about two months now. I'm 24. My mother hates motorcycles with a passion. I know that telling her will mean she will 24/7 assume that I A) am on the bike, and B) am going to crash and die on the bike. It seems cruel to dump that stress on her. I don't live at home and can't come up with a single benefit to her knowing about its existence, so…it's a secret." —SimplyPassinThrough 15."I'm probably going to adopt rather than carry. My mom is going to lose her mind." —addison_lex 16."I am gay. I won't tell them because it might as well undo all the hard work I've done academically, professionally, and physically. They won't see my accomplishments, just the fact that I like other men. I'd rather stay in the closet than have a black cloud over every dinner and gathering." —Fantastic-Ant-4429 17."My husband and I are poly. We've been happily married for over a decade. I just know it would bother my mom to the point where she would bring it up all the time. She would assume, quite wrongly, that this is something my husband pushed for and that I'm a victim, and she would not listen to anything I'd say that countered her narrative. Jesus, she's exhausting." —shereadsinbed 18."I invested my money from a young age. I met a random banker on the train who advised me to invest. Best decision ever. Now my net worth is a lot higher than theirs. But they'll never know. No one knew what I had saved until I got married, and then my wife knew." —sausagesfestivity 19."That I've been using Ozempic since October. As a teen, I struggled with bulimia, and I'm sure they would be concerned about this. But I'm 40 now and have struggled with my weight, ranging from overweight to obese throughout adulthood. GLP-1 meds are something I've waited my whole life for. I hit my goal and am maintaining, and I feel SO FREE mentally." —Clever-Liquid 20."That I've been engaged for a month. They will never think anyone is good enough for me, my mom especially. I just want to be happy in my relationship and not have to deal with a negative reaction from telling them quite yet." —StopRevolutionary912 21."I'm currently getting radiation but can't tell my mom because she is also getting radiation and I don't want to worry her." —hisbrowneyedgirl89 22."They think they pressured me into dropping a lawsuit against their 'best friend.' They're wrong. It's still ongoing, and I have zero regrets." —HighHonorMrsMorgan 23."I'm polyamorous and have been for the past year and a half. They have no idea, but maybe someday I will get enough courage to tell them." —D_116 24."I once 'borrowed' my mom's car to go on a date. She thinks someone hit the bumper in a parking lot. It was me. And also…the mailbox. And a shopping cart. And maybe a squirrel." —ZookeepergameFun9475 25."I have British citizenship. I moved here, and my mum wasn't supportive. So I know she would ruin the moment for me. I am so happy, though!" —yvettebarnett 26."Oh, there are so many. The main one right now is that I'm a lesbian and polyamorous. They think it's immoral to sleep with someone you're not married to, and I'm sleeping with four women I'm not even dating, in addition to the one I am dating." —Wild_Horse03 27."I am currently doing my Master's degree part-time. Both my parents think that I don't have the discipline for that. That's why I only told friends and my brothers." —Black-Maria-one-piec 28."I failed English in ninth grade on purpose because I wanted to know what summer school was like. I was curious." —akaram369 29."I work with/for my dad and am interviewing for other jobs. He has been passingly supportive in the past, but he is also the company president, and I know that leaving the company would be tough." —SuccessfulMumenRider 30."My girlfriend is actually my wife. Neither of us wanted to do a wedding, but my company gives her health, vision, and dental for being married to me." —311196 31."I have a suspended license for not paying insurance because I'm broke AF." —AlfalfaEastern9299 "That I caused a dryer fire when I was 10. I was told to clean out the lint catcher every time I did laundry, but wasn't clear on what to do with it, and was too lazy to ask, so I just tossed it behind the dryer. And then one day, there was smoke and then fire. Luckily, I had an extinguisher on hand, and no real damage was done, but I had to pretend to be equally shocked at the massive amount of dryer lint behind the dryer that caught fire. It was chalked up to a dryer malfunction." —Far-Ad5796 What's a secret you have absolutely no desire to tell your parents? Will you tell us?!
