“Discover the Hidden Truth Behind Nature’s Most Baffling Secrets: You Won’t Believe Your Eyes!”
But before anyone started breaking out their paranormal theories, it should be noted that this is just a cat. As for why it looks like this, its picture was taken with an infrared camera. It can make anything look stranger than it is.
It’s a little hard to recognize like this
Although it’s a little too neat and static to be a fire, it’s a little hard to tell what is in this picture at first. It could be cooling lava, it could be a digital texture, or it could be a massive hornet’s nest. However, it is none of these.
It’s a slab of rare wood called Amboyna burl. Blocks like this are smaller than they seem here, but that’s because they’re used to make the handles of knives. They must be some fancy knives.
This didn’t quite turn out as they expected
Since there haven’t been any reports of cities melting lately, it’s pretty safe to assume that this photo isn’t capturing reality all that accurately. But while there’s a glitch at hand here, it has more to do with external influences on the phone rather than any problem with it.
In other words, there are a couple of reasons why this photo could have turned out blurry. Either the photographer’s hand wasn’t as steady as they thought or their phone vibrated right as they were trying to take the shot. Those notifications don’t just interrupt screen recordings.
Can anyone guess what this is?
Those who speak German have likely already made sense of this but it’s a hard package to decipher for those who don’t. However, it’s not impossible as there’s a little clue for those with some familiarity with one of the romance languages.
Shown here are two portable libraries that German units in World War I and World War II would be equipped with. For non-German speakers, they only clue to the true purpose of these packages is the term “universal-bibliothek.”
It’s not such a disaster
At first glance, this appears to be a massive tsunami crashing over this highway. But since the road looks perfectly dry, it’s hard not to figure that this photo was either taken at a very specific moment before the wave crashed or a still from an Inception-like movie.
However, it turns out that neither of those things is true. In fact, there isn’t a giant wave here at all. Instead, this photo captures a bizarre cloud formation that just happens to look like rushing water.
This wasn’t just someone being fancy
There’s one thing that’s obvious about this photo and another aspect of it that isn’t. Obviously, this big installation is a bike rack, judging by where it is and the fact that a bunch of people have hitched their bicycles to it.
What isn’t obvious, however, is why its so large and in such a strange shape, besides to shelter the bikes from the weather. Well, the answer is that this is part of a program in Denmark that repurposes the used blades of wind farm turbines for bike shelters. It’s a pretty ingenious idea.
The throne of the Ice Queen
When it gets cold enough, it can be a little surprising to see what ends up frozen. And that’s especially true for objects like this, which look completely unrecognizable when a deep winter chill strikes suddenly enough. But what is it?
It’s not likely to be anybody’s first guess, but this is one of those grand water fountains typically seen in a town’s public square or on a fancy corporate campus. Unfortunately, it’s not likely to work well once this ice thaws out because that sudden freeze can’t be good for the plumbing.
He’s retired now
This would definitely be an eye-catching sight to anyone who steps inside this building. It’s so striking and both fearsome and oddly friendly, which makes it hard to wonder what the artist had in mind when they made this. However, it seems that’s the wrong question.
After all, this wasn’t simply the product of one artist’s ambitions. It was a stop-motion figure made for the movie Kubo and the Two Strings, and its sheer size makes it the largest stop-motion puppet ever produced.
This isn’t a fitting place for this wonder
According to Reddit User Jenipher2001, the inscription on this display case suggests that this polar bear is the second-largest one ever to be recorded in the world. What’s also clear is that it’s sitting in a place that has fallen on some hard times.
However, this isn’t some natural history museum or library that had its funding cut. Instead, this bear has inexplicably been standing in a largely abandoned Woolworth’s store that closed over ten years ago. That just seems wrong.
