17 Confusing Images That Will Melt Your Brain
Does this door just open up to the other side of the wall?
Nope! The shape of the wall angles in, giving that illusion if you are standing in the right spot.
This one has me confused beyond belief. What is going on?
After looking through the comments, I'm still perplexed. Here is what u/Jump_Like_A_Willys said: "Is it not what it looks like — a chicken in a bin filled with water and with a cardboard cover with a hole for the chicken to poke up through? That seems to be what it is, but I have no idea why this is. Although maybe there's no water, and that's just a line in the bin? Maybe?"Tell us what you think in the comments!
This spider is not holding this lid up with one single leg, but why does it look like it is?
This bug-viewing device is actually heavier on one side, so it rests at an angle.
What type of animal is in this photo?
Not an alligator! It's actually a lizard on a ledge that is close to the camera, so it looks way bigger than it actually is.
No, these are not mini IUDs floating in the sky. What are they?
They are turbines are in the water, and the person who took the pic was above, in an airplane.
Is the lower half of this person's body backwards?
Nope! Their head is turning to their left side.
There is only one cat here. Why is there a paw coming out of its head?
It is scratching itself, and that is its hind leg!
Is this mirror shattered or just dirty?
Just really dirty! If you zoom in, you can see a ton of dirt/debris on it.
Got any guesses about this one?
Explain the arms going on in this screenshot from an episode of Friends.
What looks like a random fourth arm is actually Jennifer Aniston's left arm just propped up on top of the couch.
Is this trash can lid floating?
No magical trash can here. The lid is just sitting on top of the bushes.
Can anyone share what is so confusing about this photo?
Stitch's arms look like they are her chest!
Is this a battery-operated kid car or a real one?
It is a real one! It just looks tiny from where the person who took the pic is standing.
This is not fried chicken! What is it?
The cutest little cinnamon-colored pups.
Does this toddler have play wings and a matching skirt on?
No, a bird is flying right behind her, which I am sure the smart people already knew.
Ah! That isn't what I think it is...is it?!
Thankfully, no. The person's kneecap just has a strange resemblance to something phallic.
And, lastly, how about this double take, huh?!
The child is sitting on someone's lap, and their dress is resting at an angle that makes the adult's leg look like the child is exposed.

22 Terrifying True Stories That Remain Unexplained
Recently, people on Reddit shared their most frightening unexplained experiences, and I made the mistake of reading them right before attempting to go to sleep. Now, I have no choice but to share these spine-tingling tales with you. Here are the stories that made me afraid to turn out the lights: "The night before my birthday in 1996, I dreamed that I was walking around near the peak of Everest. It was snowing hard, but I was quite comfortable. There was a tent. To announce my presence, I sang 'Goober Peas." The two men inside were frightened, and I tried to calm and cheer them. I stayed with them a while and comforted them." "A few years later, I read about the Everest disaster in which mountaineers had to pitch a tent too high on Everest and died there, the night before my birthday in 1996. I can't explain it, but I hope I comforted them."—Yugan-Dali "In 1989, I was driving on a familiar rural highway in broad daylight. I was rounding an easy bend and shocked to see a small town on the right side of the road. There's a sign: St. Vincent. A few of the things immediately noticeable were a shop called Webster Welding, an old-fashioned horse-drawn water pump for fire fighting, several large poplars with dead tops, and black and white painted rocks along the street that faced the highway. I kept watching in the rear-view mirror, and it stayed visible. I drive a few miles, and there is a gentleman waving at me from beside his car." "We were playing team tag at night back in middle school. A friend and I were hiding near a bush around a tree. Suddenly, something in the bush moved, and we assumed it was an animal. We threw a stick into the bush, and it came flying back out. A dark figure about 4 feet tall ran across the field into the woods. We freaked out and ran back to our house, about a 1/2 mile away." "I moved to a different city for university at the peak of the pandemic. I lived off campus in a suite with a couple of my friends from my hometown. Life happened, and they both ended up moving out by the end of the first semester. So I was now living alone in a very quiet neighbourhood. I got off of work late one night and crawled into bed around 12 a.m. I woke up about an hour later to the sound of footsteps shuffling around in my bedroom." "I opened my eyes to see a very tall man in my doorway, backlit by the streetlights, with his cellphone upright in his hand as if he was recording. When the person registered that I was awake, they backed their way out of the room and started running. I followed them outside and watched them hop into the driver's seat of an empty car that had been left running before speeding down the street.I had no information to give to the police when they arrived. To this day, I have no idea who that person could have been, or what they were doing in my bedroom at 1 a.m."—_sekwekwi "This still gives me chills just thinking about it. I was 7 or 8 years old. I was lying in the top bunk of the bunkbed I shared with my twin brother. We had an attached bathroom, and the only light coming in the room was the light emanating from under the bathroom door. I was lying in bed, listening to my brother cry as my dad tried to remove a splinter from my brother's finger. I looked at the foot of my bed, and I saw a man about 5'10" tall, long hair about shoulder length, short beard, and what looked like a flannel shirt and possibly overalls or suspenders standing there, and his pupils were glowing, kind of green, like if you see an animal's eyes in the dark." "It's around 3 in the morning in rural North-Central Alberta. My friend and I are driving home from a high school party in which neither of us drank or took any drugs. It's the middle of winter. In Alberta, this means it's cold outside. This night it was below -30 degrees Celsius (below -22 degrees Fahrenheit). The whole way home, my friend and I are chatting. As we round a corner, I'm zoning out listening to my friend talk, when through the windshield, I notice glowing eyes off the side of the road, the headlights not fully hitting whatever it was. The eyes were green/yellowish. This would be normal, but these eyes are about 7-8 feet above the ground." "It was around 1 a.m., and I was still up watching TV. I couldn't sleep. I got really into watching some sort of history documentary about the Shroud of Turin. When they zoomed up closely to the shroud, my TV started to glitch, and the picture was stuck on the shroud. The audio froze, and then I heard a man's voice saying, 'Don't look' in a really unnatural deep voice. It felt like it was right behind me." "I whipped my head around, and there was nobody there. I have lived alone since my wife passed. My daughter and grandchild come over on occasion, but this night I was alone. I live in rural Ireland, and whilst not my first rodeo with ghosts, etc, this experience felt unnatural. I don't know why. The TV went back to normal a couple of seconds after I heard 'don't look.' I managed to hunt down the documentary and combed it for these don't know where it came from. For some reason it really frightened me. I went to bed a little shaken up, if I'm honest. If I see anything about the Shroud of Turin advertised or in news articles, I get a shiver. The voice sounded extremely deep. I've never heard a voice like it. Big baritone voice. I don't know. I'm getting the shivers typing this, and I've seen some stuff in my lifetime on this earth."—Banpitbullspronto "My first husband and I were separated. I dreamed one night he arrived at our home and knocked on the door. When I opened the door, he looked extremely tired and a sunken version of himself. Even though he didn't say it, he was asking forgiveness with his eyes. Of course, I forgave him and welcomed him inside. Our favorite thing to do was to lie in bed and talk for hours, so we lay in the bed and began our conversation about nonsense stuff. As we were talking, the window at the foot of our bed was glowing a bright, warm light (not blinding but comforting)." "I was out with my ex-roommate on a night drive. We liked to go driving and get lost in the country sometimes and just jam out to music and talk. We lived in central Illinois, so it was pretty much just open land and cornfields. It was super dark, though, so we couldn't see too much beyond the sides of the road and what was in front of us. My roomie was driving, and at this point we had the music off. She suddenly stopped mid-sentence. I had been looking at my phone, so I looked up at her when she got quiet. Her eyes were wide and her brow furrowed. I looked up at the road. On the left side, there was a man just ominously staring into the darkness." "My friends and I went exploring in the caves in Lilydale as teenagers. They were and still are rumored to be haunted. But no one knew it at that time. We were about halfway in when this happened. We were telling stories and laughing, and could hear this faint clinking noise up ahead. My friends were curious, so we decided to go further. As we went deeper and deeper in the cave, we saw a light up ahead and could not make out where it was coming from. We started to see a figure, but it wasn't moving." "We slowly approached the figure, and it appeared to be an old man mining wearing dirty overalls, a dirty white shirt, and a dirty yellowish hat. His sleeves were rolled up, and he had a long beard. One of my friends yelled out, 'Boo,' and he turned towards us and started running after us. It appeared he was about 50 to 60 years old, but he didn't move like a man. It took us a good 10 minutes to get back to the car, and we sped our way home. About a mile past the caves, we saw the same man on the side of the road. We were all screaming, trying to figure out how he got ahead of us without a vehicle. We have only talked about that night a couple of times, but we are all convinced we saw a ghost or supernatural being."—archameidus "My partner and I had some guy decide he was going to try to intentionally ram our car in a parking lot. We thankfully escaped unharmed after a terrifying chase, but we never figured out why he zeroed in on us. We were just minding our own business, trying to leave the lot. We still occasionally rehash it years later, but it makes no sense at all." "This happened to me when I was about 14. No one believes me, and I obviously can't prove it, but I know. I was babysitting two girls, one five and a baby in a crib. They were in the same room. It was a Victorian-style house with a third floor for the main room. I was watching TV and heard the baby crying. I waited and didn't hear her again, so I figured she went back to sleep. A bit later, I heard her again, and I went upstairs to check on her." "I lived briefly in a rental home, which was owned by a church in a small Florida town, and which was built in 1908. Every night around 8 o'clock, I heard dragging, shuffling footsteps coming from the kitchen. If I walked into the kitchen, they would stop, and if I turned my head to look into the kitchen from the den, they would pause and continue the very moment I looked away again. This lasted for five minutes or so each and every night." —dirtybirdsriseup "When I was a teen, I was in the living room around 3 a.m. Just chilling on my laptop on the couch. Two years before, my uncle had passed away in the room above the living room I was currently sitting in. I swear it was like all of a sudden, every window upstairs had been opened from the way the wind suddenly blew around and sounded. And then I remember hearing one loud THUD directly above me in the room upstairs." "When I was around 13 or 14 years old, I was spending the summer at my grandparents' home in rural Guatemala. I guess my grandfather was going through something and was dealing with it the only way he knew, getting drunk. It was my first time seeing him like that, so I followed my mom's lead in dealing with him. She gave me his stash of mostly empty bottles and told me to pour them out in the little grove between my grandparents' home and my uncle's home. I go as far in as possible and start pouring them out, when I suddenly hear some shuffling." "When my gran was 10, her dad died in a train accident, leaving her and her mother to care for her much younger brother. A few years later, her brother had come out of his bedroom in the middle of the night, terrified. He said that there was a man at the end of his bed. My gran and her mum checked his room thoroughly and didn't find anything there. They all went back to bed. A few minutes later, he complained again, saying that the man was still there." "Once more, they checked the room and found nothing. My gran's mum asked him what the man was doing. He said he was just smiling. She asked him to describe what the man looked like. Keep in mind that he was very little, around 2 or 3, I think, when his dad died, and he would have forgotten what he looked like by this point. As he was describing the man, my gran and her mum were beginning to get scared. He was describing his dad."—noahthequeerfish "The house I live in is pretty old, and we have heard a lot of strange things here. Bangs, crashes, and things moving/falling are fairly normal, but one night I awoke to find myself in the middle of a bad case of sleep paralysis. I was lying flat on my back, and there was a huge shadow person leaning over me and pushing down on my chest. I tried to scream, but no sound would come out, and I couldn't move anything except my eyes to wake my husband. It was terrifying, but once I broke the spell and woke up, I realised it was simply a nightmare and felt better." "I had a vivid dream about running frantically along a beach promenade, screaming to other people to run and trying desperately to cling to the benches, and huge waves crashed over us and receded. Then, getting up and sprinting again to the next point of safety where we could cling to something. When I woke up, I didn't recall the dream immediately, but walked into the living room where my parents were watching breaking news about the tsunami in Japan, and it struck me so intensely that I'd just seen something exactly like that, and the dream came rushing back." "In my last house, I used to hear someone whispering my name at night upstairs. I never noticed for a while because I would have a headset on, but when I took it off, I would hear it every now and then. The sound was so close it felt like it was inside my head. Then I started hearing it in my son's room when I would feed him at night. It freaked me out for a while, but I chalked it up to lack of sleep as a new dad." "One night, my wife came downstairs from feeding our son and asked, 'Were you calling me? I thought I heard you whispering from the stairs.' I never said a word about it to her prior to this. It continued for both of us until we moved out. It never escalated, so we just called it our little ghost."—CamoMeatball "I think I was in college (about 20 years ago), and I was staying at my parents for the weekend. They live in an apartment building. It was in the middle of the night, around 1–2 a.m., when suddenly we heard loud scratches and bangs on the entrance door. They were so loud that we all got up and gathered in the hallway to see what was happening. My father looked through the door sight, and there was nothing there." "I was talking to my roommate while her boyfriend was on the balcony smoking. My back was to the TV. Mid-sentence, she stopped talking and began to stammer. I thought she was having a stroke at first. She pointed behind me, and I turned. An orb of blueish white energy was rising above the TV." And finally, "When I was a kid, my sister (3 years older than me) was convinced she had magical powers. Almost every week, she was telling me she had some new power. 'I have cat powers!' 'I can turn invisible!' 'I have spider powers!' When I was 5, my sister and I went to a jungle gym play place. Her power at this time was that she could 'disappear into thin air.' I didn't believe her. I asked her to prove it." "She said, 'Oh no, you must not watch. When I disappear, I emit a very toxic form of light known as green flash. It will poison you if you see it!' I said I still didn't believe said she would go round the corner and disappear, and that I had to not watch, but that when she did, I would never be able to find her. And so she went round the corner. But here's the thing. The 'walls' were netting. I could see her perfectly through the netting, which was 99% hole. She thought I couldn't see her, but I could see her eyes were locked onto her, not blinking, as she stood in the corridor around the then... she fucking was there, and then she wasn't.I RAN to where she had been, and looked high and low around the area for her, and sure enough, she was NOWHERE to be seen. The corridor was a dead end, so there's nowhere she could've run away, other than back down the corridor, which I would've seen. There were no other people in that corridor at this time, either. Nobody ran between us. I literally just saw her disappear into thin air.I ran around the jungle gym trying to find her, and eventually found her in a COMPLETELY different part of it. When I asked her how she disappeared, she said, 'See, I told you I have powers!'To this day, I have absolutely no fucking CLUE how this happened. I can't even begin to work out what happened or how she did this. She was totally motionless when she disappeared. She didn't appear to move up, down, left, or right before vanishing. She was there, then she was gone. And I still have no fucking clue how."—FeelThePower999 Has anything like this ever happened to you?

23 Obsolete Items That Surprisingly Still Exist In 2025
Recently, older adults on Reddit shared some things that people think have disappeared from the face of the earth that shockingly still exist, and it completely blew my mind. Here are some things that I sincerely thought weren't around anymore that inexplicably are: "Phone books. I saw one in a small community bank, and I asked how old it was. The receptionist said it just arrived." —Texanakin_Shywalker "It's still possible to buy a new typewriter. The mechanical sort that doesn't require electricity." "AOL." —lmgreene48"I still have my AOL email address from when I was 14!"—oldfatcranky1 "I still have a map in my car. Some places in my state, it's still hard to get a signal, and I don't want to be stuck." "Cowboys. I live in rural Idaho. I mentioned on a social media platform that electric vehicles would not be feasible for our rural cowboys and farmers due to being so remote. Someone replied and told me there are no more cowboys, so stop lying. Trust me, we still have cowboys, and some go months without seeing other people." —shaynna9"My husband's cousin has been a photographer and cowboy his whole life. He goes on cattle drives, works ranches, etc."—oingapogo "I saw disposable cameras just about two days ago when cutting through the electronics section at Walmart. I was kind of surprised they still made them. I don't even know where you'd get them developed anymore because Walmart no longer even has a photo counter. Maybe Walgreens or something? Or are we back to the days of mailing it off and waiting two weeks like it's 1987 again, lol." "I have a Rolodex. I bought it on Amazon, of all places. Having experienced computer crashes and broken phones, I realized I still need a hard copy of people's addresses and phone numbers. I've had address books with pages representing a given letter of the alphabet, but people move and change numbers, and as my nieces have gotten married, they've even changed names. It makes more sense to have cards on a spindle that you can pull off and put back on again. If someone's information changes, you can fill out a new card for them. If you make a new friend named Smith, you can put their card between your friend named Sloan and your friend named Snell, and in that way keep everyone in alphabetical order so you know where to find them." —Eddie_Farnsworth "I deliver newspapers on the side, and when I tell people, the most common response is, 'I didn't know that was still a thing.'" "Two-dollar bills." —my_clever-name"I'm middle-aged now, but in the '80s, my parents got me one of those and made a big deal about it, saying how rare they were, how if I kept it, it would be worth a lot of money someday, and so on.I believed them because hey, they were my parents, and the internet was not yet around for me to use to I guarded that thing with my life for years until I stumbled across the fact that while two-dollar bills are rare-ish, the treasury still prints off a few million every so many years. So there had probably been tens of millions printed off since I got mine. I went out and spent it shortly after.I never have gotten around to asking my parents if they were kind of fucking with me or if they legit thought it would be worth something. I guess more the latter since they were not really joking around type of people."—non_clever_username "Magnetic tape and cassettes still exist and are currently being produced, albeit not in the formats common people were accustomed to. Magnetic tape is still the cheapest and longest-lasting data storage medium." "Cursive." —DirkCamacho"Yeah, you can't kill cursive. They don't teach it at my kid's school. Except they do, because now it has a mystique and kids actually beg for it. My oldest's 5th-grade teacher basically offered 'teaching cursive' as a reward to the class for good behavior. Other teachers teach it because kids insist on writing in it, and they can't read bad cursive as easily as they can read trained cursive. It's so funny. It's no longer practical, but kids genuinely like it, so it lives forever."—gg-Rooser "Pay phones still exist. They're pretty rare, though!" "It seems most people don't realize that over-the-air reception of TV channels still works. Most digital TVs have tuners, and free TV is still available." —soupcook1"And you can get a plug-in antenna and pull down even more stations, some from quite a ways away, depending on your situation and gear."—do2g "I spin wool on a spinning wheel. Whenever people see me doing so in public, they assume my spinning wheel is an antique and ask how old it is. Nope, not an antique! Made in 2016!!!" "Checks. A lot of grown adults have never even seen one. The only ones I've seen in my life were from my late grandmother. I was very surprised to learn they are regularly used in the USA." —quokkafarts "Pagers are still available and widely used in healthcare and in emergency services." "I had a coworker who scoffed at the notion of a new manual transmission car. She was surprised when I told her that my 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is a six-speed! Standard transmissions aren't going anywhere." —TheNeonCrow "Telegrams. I was talking with a Cuban immigrant, and he said that the only way he could communicate with his family back in Cuba faster than by mail was by telegram! They still exist in Cuba. Oddly, you can create your Cuban telegram online, and pay with your Google wallet." "Boeing uses floppy discs to update flight software that is crucial to safe operation of the plane." —centstwo "Carbon paper was needed before copier machines. I just saw some in a craft store." "Fax machines are still in use in some industries." —Randygilesforpres2"Medical is a big one. Just the other day, I had to fax a document for my mother-in-law. They didn't even take email. It was a big, huge medical university too, not some podunk office."—oboshoe"It's because of HIPAA (medical privacy law). Faxing is considered secure since you can't realistically do a man-in-the-middle attack on a fax line like you can on the internet. Funny how it seemed like the medical profession wasn't keeping up with technology, and now it looks like they were ahead of the curve on privacy and security."—Aggravating-Art-3374 "Dot matrix printers." And finally, "I see people all the time like, 'I wish I had my old iPod.' They still make MP3 players, with headphone jacks and ample storage and everything. Streaming services suck, so I still buy albums and load them onto my MP3 player. Then I don't have to use my phone battery for listening to music on the go." —alanaisalive Is there anything you would add to this list?

Teen cuts off adoptive parents after they skip her high school graduation — to buy Labubu for their biological daughter: ‘Ridiculous'
This is real Labubu lunacy A teenage girl has revealed on Reddit that she 'ran away' from her adoptive parents after they missed her high school graduation to buy their biological daughter a Labubu. Labubus, pint-sized plush creatures created by Hong Kong-based artist Kasing Lung, have become the hottest toys on the planet this summer, sparking global shopping frenzies — and it seems moms and dads are immune from the craze. Posting to the 'Am I An A–hole' subreddit, the adopted and anonymous 18-year-old said she knew the situation 'sounded so ridiculous and insane,' but she wanted Redditors' opinions. For background, she explained that she was adopted as a baby and her parents didn't think they could have children, but eight years later they got pregnant with a 'miracle' child, referred to as Princess. 'Everything changed. Princess was spoiled and clearly the favorite. She never got in trouble, was always right, got WHATEVER she wanted and acted HOWEVER she wanted,' the poster shared. 'My parents didn't treat me badly, though, but if I got one toy, Princess got five. It sucked, I was jealous, and I got in trouble for it.' Princess allegedly started to get worse when she was six when she 'realized how much she could get away with.' This prompted the original poster to do what she could to avoid her. 'Now I have a car and a boyfriend (since sophomore year). I stay with him a lot and his family loves me so I'm barely home, maybe 24 hours at most weekly,' she said. Her graduation day was the final straw for her as it was 'one of the few things I asked my parents to come to.' The Redditor was excited for the milestone celebration until Princess 'had to ruin it.' 'See her current obsession are these doll plush keychains called Labubus, she collects them and that specific day, she found this super rare one for sale in our city,' the girl explained. 'Now instead of contacting the seller and buying it the next day, my parents went to go get it,' she continued 'Then they showed up so late, our caps were already being tossed.' The Labubu the parents purchased for Princess was allegedly $350 — while the high schooler got $150 for her grad gift. After graduation, she went home with her boyfriend and 'basically moved in with him.' 'I was hurt,' the Redditor explained. 'My parents called, texted, apologized, even came over and begged me to forgive them, worst part of it all, they think it's the money and sent me another hundred dollars. I refused to talk to them.' She said the situation has now escalated to her parents 'threatening to report me as missing/ a runaway and contact my future college if I don't go back home.' Many Reddit users agreed that she was justified in her actions. 'Sibling favoritism is so crazy to me and i think it's so unfair to the one being treated poorly. The fact that they only thought it was about the money speaks high volumes about their character,' one person wrote. 'Been there, yo. People don't realize how much the 'little things' build up over time. You don't have to accept the bare minimum just 'cause it's coming from family. You deserve effort, too,' another shared. Another said that the parents 'prioritized a toy over your graduation.' 'That's incredibly hurtful and dismissive. That's not a small mistake, that's a loud message about where you stand in their priorities,' the person said. Many also noted that because the Redditor is now 18, she's legally an adult and can move out if she wants to. Multiple people suggested she get ahead of it, contacting the local police department and her college to let them know the situation. Solve the daily Crossword
