Weird Visuals That Defy Explanation

A New Kind of Sport

This urinal was likely installed as a prank, though that hasn’t stopped the adventurous from attempting a climb. The wall features rock-climbing holds ascending toward the porcelain, though they don’t go very high. It’s a safe bet that at least one person—likely after a few drinks—has tried to summit this wall to use the facilities.

We just really hope that nobody was using the urinals next to the one up high on the wall when that was tried. It’d really suck to be down below, and someone misses.

When Your Babysitter Is Literally a Chicken

At first, we just assumed that the chickens chased the two kids into the pen since chickens can be pretty mean sometimes, but that might not be what’s going on here. If you look closely, you can spot all kinds of different chicken figures and whatnot in the background. That means someone really loves their chickens and probably keeps the one in this photo in the house on a regular basis.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

If so, that would leave little Bobby and Billy with no other place to play but the chicken pen. That is if they don’t want to have to deal with the chicken harassing them the entire time.

We Have Just One Question: Why?

If you’ve ever wondered what a vehicle version of a turducken would look like for some reason, then here you go. For some reason, these guys are trying to load up a van inside a truck, and the van just happens to have a car inside of it. They could just be trying to get everything in one go so that they don’t have to come back for the car or something.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

However, without context, there’s really no telling. Also, we’re not really sure how they actually got the car inside of the van like that because it looks like a really tight fit.

You Are What You Eat

Someone, or a group of people, really didn’t have much to do on the night this photo was taken. But we’re kind of glad; otherwise, we might never have gotten to see whatever this is. It looks like someone covered this guy in a bunch of different types of vegetables. There’s everything from carrots and lettuce to celery and spinach in this shot.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

It doesn’t really matter, though; this is pretty epic. We just wonder what made them want to do this and how long it actually took them to make it all look so nice.

The Start of a Bizarre Horror Movie

We’ve never seen a photo quite like this one, but then again, that’s true for a lot of the photos on this list. It looks like someone was driving down the road when they somehow slammed into some kind of sturgeon. Not only that, but it appears as though it’s so cold outside that the sturgeon simply froze onto their front bumper.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

It looks like the fish has a tag near its tail, meaning it was caught and probably dead when it slammed into the car. So, that rules out it jumping through the ice like a dolphin and ending up in a collision.

“Hey Mom, My New Friend’s Gonna Sleep Over Tonight”

You don’t have to have children to know that they have a tendency to go and wake their parents up as soon as the sun starts to peak over the horizon. However, we’ve never heard of a kid walking into their parents’ bedroom with a pony before. Maybe he thought that the pony was hungry or thirsty.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

But how did he even get the pony into the house? Did the kid walk out to the stables, or was the pony already at the backdoor? There are just so many questions here.

What Are the Odds of Getting a Speeding Ticket While Your Car Is Being Towed?

Getting caught for speeding really sucks, but you know what sucks even more? What’s happening in this photo. Someone is getting their car towed, and it looks as though a speed trap captured a photo of their plate and sent them a speeding ticket. Obviously, it was the tow truck’s fault.

Reddit

We just wish we’d been there when the owner of the car tried to explain this one to the judge.

The Attack of the Poohs

Here’s another photo that looks a little wild without any context. It appears to show a bunch of people dressed up like Winnie the Pooh. However, we’re not exactly sure if they’re protesting or celebrating. There’s even a little kid dressed up like Pooh in the far left side of the photo.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Either way, it would be pretty crazy to see in person, especially if everyone in the photo really was protesting by dressing up as the honey-loving bear.

The Grocery Cart That Defied Gravity

This photo shows something pretty incredible. Someone managed to put a shopping cart on the top of this pole, which looks like it’s at least 10 feet up in the air. And while we’re not entirely sure how it was done, we do have some theories.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Someone could’ve also just used a truck with a boom or something and placed it up there. However, neither of those explains why they did this.

Only on the NYC Subway

Depending on where exactly you live, it can already be a bit of a hassle to take the subway. Sometimes, there are just people on there that freak you out. But imagine jumping on the train to head home and seeing this. For some reason, a bunch of people are painted blue and even carrying blue luggage.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Maybe they were extras or dancers in a film somewhere, or maybe they were at a convention of some kind. Either way, this would definitely be a sight to see on your commute home.

Relationship Goals

This is probably one of the most hilarious photos on this list. Like, what in the world is going on here? The man has a cat in what looks like a baby harness, and the woman is right next to him, chowing down on what looks kind of like a corndog.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

But maybe this is just what this couple’s day-to-day looks like, and someone just happened to capture them while they were out for a stroll in the park.

Roll Tide!

This one is pretty hilarious. It looks like someone had a little too much fun when they were coming back from a party one night because the faculty were forced to put up this sign. However, it happens, especially at universities, so this one isn’t super surprising.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Obviously, this has happened more than once, but was it the same person every time? Or did a bunch of different people just randomly start doing this separately?

No Pressure, No Pressure

This is definitely a photo that needs a little context. Honestly, there’s really only one explanation for this one, and even that seems a bit out there. This has to be part of some kind of art exhibition. The only question is, if so, then who was the artist?

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

It could be a scene from someone’s nightmare, or it could just be a scene from a movie. We’ll probably never know for sure.

A Huge Game of Jenga – But With Chairs

Most people would probably see this photo and wonder what in the world was going on here. However, it’s actually part of an art installation. This was done in Istanbul by an artist named Doris Salcedo way back in 2002.

Twitter/jubyphonic_p

She placed around 1550 chairs between these two buildings. It’s a pretty amazing feat, as it looks as though all of them could come crumbling down at any second.

Was This Owl Caught Drinking and Driving?

There’s literally no telling what was going on when this photo was taken. It’s possible that this owl was injured, and someone called animal control. That might be why he’s sitting calmly in the back of a police car.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Personally, we like the thought of it being a magical owl in trouble, but the first theory is probably the most likely explanation.

That One Roommate Who Never Leaves You Alone

For whatever reason, a lot of people seem to adore their chickens. This one is just casually resting on his roommate’s head while he’s playing a video game. The little kid also seems to be staying focused pretty well.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

This kid’s mom or dad was probably walking into the room and snapped this photo. But that doesn’t explain why so many people are keeping chickens in their houses.

Baby Shark, Mommy Shark, Daddy Shark…

Yes, there are five people going down an escalator with plush sharks in their hands. Luckily, we were able to trace this photo to Moscow. Apparently, they’re all holding a Blahaj, which is just a stuffed shark from IKEA.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

It’s a viral sensation that started taking over the internet, and it’s all pretty interesting.

We Wonder if They’ll Get a Parking Ticket

Say what you will about someone using their parking spot to stash their canoe, but we’re firmly on the side of it: it’s a lot better than whatever that Mercedes is doing in the background there.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Someone probably just didn’t have time to do anything with it but needed to unload it for some reason. So, they just decided to unload it in a parking spot.

When You Only Make a Quarter of Your Car Payments

Someone really has some imagination. They took two sides of a single car and cut out the middle, making for a really skinny two-wheeler with one headlight. We imagine it’s probably great advertising.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

They also did a pretty good job of putting everything back together, as most of it looks like it was lined up pretty well. Even the headlights look like they came like that.

Thank Goodness They Rebranded

Yes, this is really what Happy Meals used to look like. McDonald’s marketing team used to be pretty hardcore. However, we’re not exactly sure why someone set up all of these Happy Meal boxes in a room like this.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

If you’re curious, there are around 36 or 37 Happy Meal boxes in this photo. For whatever reason, it’s all very disturbing.

When the Summer Heat Is Too Much to Handle

Honestly, we can probably all sympathize with this guy now. It looks like he’s found himself an empty cooler inside of a grocery store and just decided to take a break from the heat.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

It’s probably also pretty unsanitary. But, you know you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do when temperatures are spiking outside.

How We All Feel When We Have to Iron Clothes

It looks like someone fell asleep right underneath their shirt, which is hanging up. However, we’re not sure if they fell asleep with the iron on them or if someone put it there after they fell asleep.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

We especially like how someone just put the sleeves of this shirt over this guy’s face as if the shirt is doing the ironing.

Extreme Protest

The headline reads, “They live in very difficult conditions,” which doesn’t really help us out. We can see that whatever is happening to this guy is a pretty difficult condition, but what exactly is happening?

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

It turns out this guy buried himself alive in order to protest his usual living conditions. Also, this all happened in Colombia.

Nothing to See Here

Someone has wired up a security camera inside a bathroom stall, which, along with probably being illegal, is also a bit creepy. Someone commented that this may have been in a stall that was used for drug testing.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

You can see that the camera isn’t plugged up, but there’s no guarantee that it wasn’t plugged up after this photo was taken.

Sometimes You Have to Get Creative

It looks like someone didn’t have a basketball goal, so instead of buying one, they decided that they’d make their own using a toilet seat and a bracket. If it works, then it works.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Good for them for being creative. However, we do have to wonder if that seat is actually big enough for a basketball.

Just an Empanada on Its Way to Work

Nobody in this photo seems to care that someone is dressed up as a pastry. Everyone looks as though they’re just going about their normal everyday lives. Also, why is there a person dressed up as a pastry?

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Maybe they’re a performer, or maybe they just like dressing up like a pie. Who knows.

We Really Hope That’s Mud

This guy is completely layered in the stuff. There’s no telling where this was taken, but it was probably in an area that’s used for this kind of stuff all the time.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

There does seem to be a truck in the photo, which tells us that this guy was out mud riding, and this is actually mud, which is somewhat of a relief.

Game Over

Our first thought was that the pool balls had to just be a cake. But what about the bumper in the background? It’s also possible that someone just shot these with a shotgun.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Either way, we’d probably immediately forfeit the game and our money if we ever saw someone do this in real life.

All Terrain (Almost)

This was a really bad day for someone. It looks as though they just drove their truck off a pier. It’s kind of surprising that the truck is floating this well in the photo.

Instagram/imagesthatneedmorecontext

Sadly, you can see where some of the oil or gas is leaking out into the water. Hopefully, all of that got cleaned up.

Cats Like Camping, Too

The only thing we’re really left wondering is how the owner got their cat to actually stay inside their pinecone circle long enough to take a photo. It’s pretty adorable nonetheless.

Reddit

It even looks like they gave their cat a bit of shade by placing a tiny plant next to their tent. Props to whoever the owners are.

The Squirrel Whisperer

There’s a lady out there who uses a marionette doll to interact with squirrels at the park. Add in a squirrel being fed from the doll’s hand, and you’ve got something pretty special.

Reddit

Even without the squirrel, a photo of an old woman practicing with a marionette in the park would still be pretty awesome.

Nothing to See Here…

It looks like someone left their pastries sitting on the counter and came back to find a couple of tiny paw prints in them. Luckily, it looks like the cat only walked on two of them.

Reddit

There’s probably no telling what else it did to the pastries while it was left alone in the room.

The Dragon’s Hoard

Why in the world is this cat hoarding the coins in this photo? And why is the cat hairless? What would you do in this situation: go for the coins or turn around and walk away?

Reddit

After walking in and seeing this, we’d probably just turn around and walk away. That cat can have those things.

Um, You Forgot Something

She took a risk and agreed to go on camera with her face blurred. She obviously trusted this reporter, but you can see her face unblurred in the background while the reporter is busy interviewing someone else.

Reddit

Either the reporter or whoever was responsible for blurring faces back at the station really messed this one up.

This Deer Has Seen Some Stuff

It’s not every day you see a deer being interviewed on T.V. It turns out that this is from a story in Canada about a deer that wandered into a farmer’s yard and made friends with a dog.

Reddit

We can only guess as to why the reporter wanted to ask it some questions. Jokes aside, the answer is pretty heartwarming.

Live, Love, Rave

It looks like a camera trap captured an image of two deer fighting over corn. We’re not really sure what’s going on with the cats and all of the ghostly eyes in the background.

Reddit

Either that or all of these animals are throwing some kind of ritual/dance party. Honestly, it’d be really cool if that were the case.

At Least They Tried to Make It Look Legit

This might just be the most unique way to fix a broken tail light that we’ve ever seen. We have to question if this would actually work, as it wouldn’t really light up when someone pressed on the brakes.

Reddit

That said, at least they made an effort. It’s a lot more than what some people out on the road do.

Artist’s Choice

We couldn’t imagine sitting down to have a portrait drawn and the artist completely ignoring you to draw some random guy in the background with his finger up his nose.

Reddit

We will say that while the drawing is pretty comical, it doesn’t really resemble the same guy in the background.

Queen on the Run

Whatever the image on the 50-pence is supposed to be, it lines up perfectly with the image of the late Queen Elizabeth. You have to wonder if this was intentional because what are the odds?

Reddit

For whatever reason, this also really reminds us of a stop-motion film. It makes for a hilarious photo.

The Mona Putin

Just be warned that you can’t unsee this photo. Someone figured out that Vladimir Putin actually looked a lot like the woman in the Mona Lisa and made this little comparison.

Reddit

They both have the same eyes, same mouth, and same nose. Honestly, it wouldn’t really be the weirdest thing that we’ve ever heard.
