My Brain Literally Cannot Process These 15 Absolutely Baffling Photos
Hello again, and welcome to our roundup of the most confusing photos we found on Reddit this week. Check out last week's if you missed it — and let's get right into it! person who took this picture admits they have no clue what it is. Can you explain? Some people on Reddit say it is spray insulation on a ceiling, and some people think it is a carpeted ceiling. Others say it is something from an art gallery. What do you think? Related: kind of animal is this? A Turkish Angora cat that looks like a dog! you explain what is going on in this photo? It is two different people! The person taking the selfie has a black apron on, but under the mirror, there is a cutout area, and you can see the legs of the other person, who is wearing a brown apron on the other side. picture is not photoshopped. What happened? Exactly what you think, but don't want to believe! A tree fell and you were seeing the end of it. Related: this a river or something else? There is actually a lorry on the right side of the truck (a lorry is a large truck used to transport goods). The river is to the left of the tree. who approved this trash can box design? What looks phallic is actually just a cutout of where you put your hand in to pick up the box. Not the best spot, though! are these two people looking at? It is a lake that is reflecting the sky. Related: people are actually the same height. How can this be so? If you look at the right hip of the person on the right, you can see they are far behind the person on the left. The fannypack in the person on the left's lap conceals this but you can see the edge of their left hip. what about these two people? Does one have a stump for the lower half? No, no. The person in the back is sitting on the stump and the person in the light jeans is on their lap. is grabbing this woman's thigh? Thankfully, it is the lady herself. She is holding her hand in a weird way, with her pinky at the top (it is her left hand). this really eight people swimming in tubes??? It is actually planktonic tunicate — sea animals that typically attach themselves to docks, rocks, or the underside of boats. 12.10 points if you can guess what this is... Related: A flamingo floatie!!! this a celestial being in the sky? Unfortunately, it is just a cricket. these humingbirds get stuck in this feeder? Nope!

Comic-Con goes interstellar with 'Project Hail Mary,' 'Star Trek' updates
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Comic-Con is headed to space for its third day. Saturday's biggest presentations at the pop culture extravaganza will be for 'Project Hail Mary,' which stars Ryan Gosling on an interstellar mission to save humanity, and for the next series in the 'Star Trek' franchise. Fans are also getting a sneak peek at 'Coyote vs. ACME,' a hybrid live-action and animated project that was shelved by Warner Bros. in a cost-cutting move but will get a theatrical release in 2026. The movie features John Cena, who is also a star of the DC series 'Peacemaker,' which will have a presentation Saturday in Comic-Con's massive Hall H. 'Project Hail Mary" is an adaptation of the book by Martin Weir, whose book 'The Martian' was adapted by Ridley Scott in 2015. An estimated 135,000 people — many in costumes — are expected to attend Comic-Con 2025, which runs through Sunday in downtown San Diego. So far, fans have gotten previews of 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2,'the upcoming FX series 'Alien: Earth' and 'Predator: Badlands,' which will be in theaters in November. 'Coyote vs. Acme' coming to theaters in August 2026 Wile E. Coyote is getting his day in court – and theaters. The stars of 'Coyote vs. Acme' delivered a rousing presentation of a movie that at one point wasn't going to be released. The underdog story – both of the movie and Coyote – was a running theme of the panel. But rather than direct ire at Warner Bros., the real-world studio that shelved the project, the panel focused on the fictional Acme Corp. 'This is purely an Acme decision … and I am saying this for legal purposes,' moderator Paul Scheer said at the start of the panel. The movie is a hybrid of animation and live action and is based on a 1990 New Yorker article that satirized a legal complaint filed by Coyote against Acme, the maker of the TNT, detonators, rocket shoes, catapults and other products that consistently backfire during the Coyote's fruitless attempts to catch the Roadrunner. Laughter filled Hall H, the massive 6,000-seat venue as fans watched a montage of Coyote being blown up, flattened and falling into chasms in a scene set to Johnny Cash's cover of 'Hurt.' Coyote is replaying the moments in his lair when an ad for a personal injury lawyer appears on TV. They also played six minutes of the movie, including a scene of opening statements in the case in which Coyote's lawyer, Will Forte, accidentally unleashes a rocket skate into the courtroom, setting Coyote and the judge's robes on fire. John Cena plays a slick Acme lawyer who wins over the jury, which includes a cartoon character, quickly. Forte said he didn't think the movie would ever get to audiences. 'I'm pretty speechless. You think back to the journey that this movie has taken. I had kind of given up hope at a certain point,' Forte said. At one point, his comments were interrupted by a man playing an Acme lawyer who stormed into Hall H with cease-and-desist letters. Director Dave Green said the movie conforms to famed animator Chuck Jones' rules for the struggle between the Coyote and Roadrunner, which include the bird always staying on the road and the Coyote being ultimately more humiliated than hurt when he falls, is crushed or gets blown up by TNT. The movie, which features cameos from numerous Looney Tunes characters like Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety and Bugs Bunny, will be released on Aug. 28, 2026. Ketchup Entertainment teamed up with Warner Bros. on the film and in the release of 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.' The Associated Press
