40 Confusing Random Pictures
I recently came across this captivating Reddit thread r/whatisit and was genuinely confused by all of the pictures users posted. It literally made me say out loud, "What is this?" I simply could not tell you. But my confusion didn't stop me from being totally amazed by these random things, and I marveled at them for hours on end. So, here are some truly bizarre and random pictures that will honestly make you say, "What is it???" But if you can help a girl out, drop your guesses in the comments, and we can all learn a little something today! "I bought an older house that has a wood-burning fireplace. The chimney has a wood storage area within itself, and I found this in there. [The pic is] a little blurry because there was no way I was gonna get up close and personal." "I found this thing on the shore of a lake in northern Minnesota in July of 2022. I've been wondering ever since, 'WTF is it?' It had a very strange smell and had almost a meat-like texture?" "I drive a Pacifica and have stow and go seats. I lifted up the floor to clean under it yesterday and found this. I have used Mr. Clean foaming spray (used a drill with a brush to scrub), peroxide (used a drill with a brush to scrub), and a rug cleaner. It keeps growing." "My sister found this in a Goodwill bin and decided to put it on her bedroom door. None of us can figure out what it's supposed to be. It looks kind of strange and doesn't seem to have a clear purpose. Any ideas?" "My wife said the milk tasted weird, so I dumped it out and set it aside. A few days later, we noticed this. My wife and I consumed approximately two spoonfuls of it — she is pregnant, and I am concerned as to what it could be." "What is this creature on my basil? It looks like more than one bug, but they all move together." "Recently moved into a new house, the shower head pressure sucked really bad, so we bought a new head. This is what we found inside the old idea what this is???" "I found this in my backyard at night in Sydney — does anyone know what this is? At first I thought it was a worm with grass stuck to its head, but when I got a closer look, it was not that..." "Found this in the wall in the stairwell to my basement. Going down the stairs and tapping on the wall, you could always hear a different sound about 3/4 down. After scraping plaster away, it revealed a box built into the wall with this jar placed in the center. Nothing else was in there, and I cannot determine the contents. What could be in it, and why would this be there? Why was it sealed behind the wall? The house was built in the early 1900s in Portland, Oregon." "I found this thing walking along a trail. WTF is this??? I was scared to touch it. [Below] is a water bottle for reference [of size]." "Found this washed up on the beach. What is it? (Side note: I think the thing on the top left is a stick someone stuck in it)." "[I've] never seen this before — heirloom tomato? I like to think." "[I] found [these] under a tree on a sunny day..." "This was dangling out of the fixed shower head. The location was an inn with multiple cottages. We rented five cottages between family and friends, and only one had this 'feature.' What is it for??" "I found this underneath the steering wheel in the car I just bought." "I left my dress on a small cat tree my cat never uses. When I looked at it this morning, this was all over the inside of the dress. What is it? Do I need to burn my dress? At first I thought it was dust, but I can't think where it came from, and I feel it's some sort of larvae, but they don't move. Anyone?" "My mom gave this to me yesterday, saying it would 'save me from electromagnetic waves.' Idk." "[There's a] symbol on my girlfriend's $50 bill. Does it mean anything?" "My uncle had this for decades, and I never found out what it is? It feels metallic, but it's not metal because magnets don't stick to it. It's also really heavy." "I found this in the basement where my company is working. I'm clueless." "We were visiting my mother-in-law in upstate New York and discovered small black objects underneath the mattress in one of her spare bedrooms. They were neatly arranged in perfect little piles, and we didn't notice them anywhere else in the house. Any idea what they could be?" "A woman decided to paint this symbol on [my mother-in-law's] porch. This wasn't done with permission, and she has no idea what it could be. Does anyone have any idea what it means?" "I just noticed this on the bottom of my bread. It almost looks like a crouton is in the bread, but what is it?" "I found this under a bed in a hotel room. Is it some kind of recording device?" "What is this animal silhouette? My best guess is the mythical Pennsylvania squonk." "This was growing in my planter — what is this? It's stringy and stretchy. I took it out and placed it in a bag — it was glued to the clay pot and starched for over a meter before ripping. It didn't appear to be growing from the ground, and it didn't move. The chunk is about 10 cm by 6 cm." "I found this [chair] on my local Facebook Marketplace. What is the purpose of the hole?" "[I] found this at my school. Any idea what is going on?" "This is lake water that is essentially unfiltered, which then went into the pitcher through the Brita's filter. The filtered water sat there for a bit, and today I noticed the jelly-like growth. What's growing in my Brita???" "The owner of a taco stand in Mulegé, Baja Sur, says he found this in a trash pile. It seems to be brass or bronze? It would have been mounted or attached to something at the end with a flat area and a threaded hole." "My dad just got this in the mail. The return address is Aristotle Metal Works in Georgia, but I don't think that's legit. These don't seem like metal pieces." "I made some simple syrup/sugar water for cocktails, and forgot about it for a few months in my fridge. Then I noticed this spherical blob with gray spikes that seems soft. It jiggles a bit like jelly when I shake the bottle." "I don't even know where to start — Google Lens didn't find anything." "I found this in my parents' bathroom closet..." "My dog threw this up this morning. He's doing fine, but it's definitely concerning. I've been trying to figure out what he threw up…any help is appreciated. I tried to scan the QR code on it, but was unable to." "I found this at a school gym..." "I found these in my washing machine (the big one is probably a napkin)." "What is this bug? It gave me a really bad stinging sensation." "Does anyone know what it is? I say it's my husband's, and he says it's mine, but neither of us has a clue what it is. It comes in a sleeve, so it must be something important?" And finally, "As seen in Oregon. Google Lens suggested it was a metal porcupine statue 😂." So, what do you think these random things are?!

The Best Walking Shoes I've Ever Worn Are Only $40
This isn't a drill. My search for the perfect walking shoe finally came to an end a couple of months ago. After trying for what feels like years to find a pair of everyday walking shoes that wouldn't make my feet feel like they were being suffocated and tortured, I came across a pair from a brand on Amazon that I wasn't familiar with. Though skeptical, I proceeded to read through the product description, sizing details, and at least 20 pages of (good and bad) reviews — and I came to the conclusion that the roughly $40 price tag was worth the buy. The shoes in question are from a brand named Lamincoa and come in a variety of vibrant colors like red, black, blue, purple and orange. At the time however, I was only looking for a simple, white shoe that would go with every outfit. Of course, keeping these powder-white shoes clean on the streets on New York would eventually result in the use of many disinfectant wipes, Mr. Clean erasers and a lot of baking soda. Nonetheless, I bought them, as I was particularly sold on both the color options and the shoe's construction. As I said previously, my feet are wide, fairly plump and have a pronounced arch, making it difficult to find tennis shoes, especially ones that don't make them hurt after five minutes of wear. In short? The material a shoe is made of matters for me. These are made with breathable mesh knit all over and have an easy slip-on fit, something I always look for (as I'm also currently suffering from a bad case of jumper's knee, which makes my leg mobility pretty limited). The sole is made of sturdy, non-slip material, and the insole is made of comfortable memory foam that even after multiple wears — I'm talking every day for hours at a time — still holds up and doesn't make my feet feel like I'm walking directly on concrete. They're incredibly lightweight, which may turn you off when you first pick them up, but trust me when I say this will work in your favor if you have larger (size 10) feet like I do and are on your feet all day. The sizes range from women's 5 1/2–10 and do include half-sizes. Check out some of the things other Amazon reviewers have had to say about these shoes, which score an overall 4.1 and have over 4,000 five-star ratings: But the best way to know if something will work for you is to simply give it a try, and you can do so at the link below. Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes 5.5–10 and 17 colors).

However, I was exceedingly surprised at how well-made these shoes are. I actually prefer these shoes to some of my significantly more costly and name brand shoes. They are extremely comfortable, I can wear them all day, walk in them for miles and my feet are fine. These are my favorite pair to run errands in, and wear when I know I'll be on my feet a lot. The detailing and seams are very well-made. You can tell that attention to comfort and quality was given when making this shoe. I am definitely going to make several more purchases.' — Debbie Gutierrez 'I purchased these for my girlfriend because she saw them somewhere on TikTok. They've replaced some Nikes she's had and she absolutely loves them. She says they're very comfortable and don't move around during her workouts. Good price for a very good shoe.' — Estee 'These shoes are so comfortable and look very high quality . I bought them in black and they continue to look brand new after having using them almost daily for over 6 months. I will purchase these in other colors for sure. The size of true to fit and although I have wide feet I feel that the stretch in the shoe make the shoes mold to my feet without fitting tight.' — Crystal Hernandez 'I wanted a sneaker to run errands in that was slip on but would stay put. These fit the bill perfectly. I took my daughter to the children's museum so we were walking and playing all day. These shoes were incredibly comfortable and very light weight. I also have swelling in my feet and these stretch enough to accommodate that but aren't so tight as to leave marks. The toe box is a little wide but it's fine for me. Will definitely buy another pair!' — Beth But the best way to know if something will work for you is to simply give it a try, and you can do so at the link below.

US Products With Bizarre Names In Other Countries
There are tons of US products and brands that we know like the back of our hand in the States. Well, what if I told you that, abroad, those same famous products and brands went by different names? Here are 22 US products with different names abroad: Lays are called "Walkers" in the United Kingdom and Ireland Named after the British manufacturer, Walkers Snack Foods Limited, the tasty snack still proves you can't eat just one. Sour Patch Kids are called "Very Bad Kids" in France Pronounced "Petits Chéris" if you speak French. Oui or no? Mr. Clean is "Mr. Proper" in England Mr. Proper deserves a holiday and a biscuit after a knackered day on the job. Burger King is called "Hungry Jack's" in Australia Named after the Australian franchise owner, Jack Cowin. In a way, he's the "Australian Burger King." Kraft Mac & Cheese is simply "Kraft Dinner" in Canada Younger me would average four "Kraft Dinners" a week. DiGiorno is called "Delissio" in Canada Adding an extra "S" to the brand name, delisio means "delicious" in Italian. Dove Chocolate is called "Galaxy" in other countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, India, and the Middle East. It would make sense that the company Mars, Incorporated would stick to "space-themed" brand names. Axe is called "Lynx" in other places, such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. If you ask me, Lynx sounds cooler, but whatever helps sales. You do you, Axe. Cool Ranch Doritos are called "Cool American" in certain European countries. 😎 American. Campbell's is called "Batchelors Condensed Soup" in the United Kingdom and Ireland. A licensing expiration led to the name change, despite it still being called "Campbell's" here in the States. Smarties are called "Rockets" in Canada. Canada has a candy similar to M&M's called "Smarties." So the name change makes sense to avoid any confusion. Imagine expecting chocolate and getting a roll of these little guys. A 3 Musketeers bar is called a "Milky Way" in a Milky Way bar is called a "Mars" bar. My brain hurts (lol). Always brand pads are called "Whisper" in countries like Australia. Stay happy, Always...I mean, Whisper. Frosted Flakes are called "Frosties" in most of Europe They're more than good. They're blooooody brilliant! Olay has gone by various names globally, including "Oil of Ulan" (Australia) and "Oil of Ulay" (UK). It was also called "Oil of Ulaz" in some European countries. Starburst are called Opal Fruits in the United Kingdom. Fun fact, Opal Fruits came first in the UK! They went global in the late '80s with the rebranded name "Starburst." Diet Coke is known as "Coca-Cola Lite" in a number of European countries, including Italy. Are you a "diet" or a "lite" person? Tide is called "Ace" in Latin America. Short and sweet. Other names include Daz (UK) and Vizir (parts of Europe). KFC is called "PFK" in Canada. PFK stands for Poulet Frit Kentucky, which is simply the French translation of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Budweiser is simply called "Bud" in most parts of Europe And no one was the -weiser. *Pauses for an eruption of laughter.* Finally, TJ Maxx is called TK Maxx in the United Kingdom and Australia. The retail chain TJ Hughes already existed, so it's easy to understand why the name was changed to avoid confusion. Can you think of any products or brands that are named differently in other countries? Comment below!
