“Discover the Hidden Truth Behind Nature’s Most Baffling Secrets: You Won’t Believe Your Eyes!”

If the firm still existed, this sturdy vault door would be a credit to the Mosler Safe Company. After so many decades, it’s as solid as it was when it was built, and it has both its time lock and its combination lock in place.

However, that doesn’t mean that it’s standing in a bank, at least not anymore. Nowadays, it rests inside a coffee shop that used to be a bank in Columbus, Georgia. Either the owners thought it was cool, or it was simply too difficult to get rid of. Perhaps it’s both.

This could happen in so many places

This photo was taken at night in the Canadian town of Leamington, Ontario. This wasn’t the result of some strange solar event or a rare weather pattern. Apparently, this is a pretty common feature of the night sky in that town, at least nowadays.

Why? Well, there are a lot of greenhouses in the area. When the plants inside those greenhouses are getting close to harvesting, growers start using red lights to encourage flowering and budding. Once those red lights bleed into the sky, they create this purple hue.

These weren’t made; they just happened

Some of the more hands-on people out there may have a few questions about these bolts. Namely, why were they made like this, and what system could possibly require bolts with big valleys in their centers? Well, there isn’t one.

That’s because these bolts weren’t manufactured like this. Instead, these steel bolts just had enough contact with a steel cable to get worn down over time. It would be interesting to know how much time it took before they got like this.

An interesting turn of events

Despite how it looks, this little mineral formation isn’t here as some unique decoration. In fact, its presence here is entirely accidental. And it all started because this room got a little more humid than it usually does.

Once that happened, the salt lamp in the top left corner started leaking water. Although the person who took this photo resolved that issue, some evidence that the leaking had occurred remained. This row of little salt crystals isn’t going to find its way back into the lamp.

This picture isn’t a mystery, but it’s about mysteries

Anyone looking for some connection between these photos is likely going to be disappointed because they were all people of personal significance to the owner of this package. However, those wondering what the package itself is supposed to be may be a little more intrigued by the answer.

This crime scene kit dates back to the 1930s, but it’s unclear whether it was used in any real cases. After all, it comes from the Institute of Applied Sciences, and how much use it saw beyond the ’30s depends a lot on whether or not the criminology student who owned it graduated.

They’re going to grow no matter what’s in the way

After spending enough time close to something, trees have a way of “eating” things. In other words, its growth will often lead it to overtake nearby objects and effectively consume them in a layer of wood. That’s definitely what’s happening here.

When the tree is as far along in its growth as this, it can be pretty hard to identify what it’s “eating.” In this case, it was apparently a road sign. Hopefully, that sign wasn’t warning people about anything too important because nobody’s reading it now.

That’s one suspicious discovery

While investigating a foreclosed house, Reddit user battlebotrob was looking around in the boiler room. Above the boiler were some floor joists and when the inspector looked through them, they were surprised to come across a potentially worrying find.

For those having a hard time identifying it, the inspector’s photo shows the slide of a Glock handgun. There’s no telling why it was there but the non-nefarious possibilities are remote enough that the inspector was extremely careful not to touch it.

These bottles are effectively the same

From just a glance, it’s clear that these Coca-Cola bottles are different sizes. The most obvious difference between them is that the one on the left is clearly taller than the other one. However, these two bottles are effectively the same size.

How can this be? On a functional level, both of them hold 500 milliliters of liquid. Although the one on the left is obviously taller, the one on the right is subtly wider. So, despite the fact that they look different, they do exactly the same job.

It’s not as incomprehensible as it seems

From the looks of it, this museum exhibit looks like it would commemorate the discovery of a strange new life form. At the very least, it looks like a creature that turned out heavily mutated enough to end up in a Ripley’s Believe It Or Not exhibit.
