Confusing Pictures That Have Us Asking Some Serious Questions

Things aren't always as they seem. Sometimes, it takes a few extra glances to figure out what it is you're looking at. Even then, you still are clueless about it. Things might get challenging for you as you look at these photos that will have you asking some serious questions.

What Sorcery Is This?

Is this woman facing towards the camera or the ocean? Is she twisting away from the water or away from the camera person?

The longer you look at it, the harder it is to understand what she's doing. Her positioning doesn't make any sense here.

Okay, how does this kid have such massive hands? I need to see a photo of him as an adult because this doesn't add up. His dad must be Sasquatch.

ADVERTISEMENT

Well, when you look closer, you can see the truth. It took a little longer to see it, but that's really his mom's other hand.

Wooden Legs?

Finally, a woman who isn't afraid to show her pirate side. Wait, are you saying that those are just heels made of wood?

How come it's so hard to see the rest of the heel? Believe what you want, but this woman could very well be a pirate.

"I Thought My Teacher Wrote 'Salsa' On My Paper. Actually, It Was 59/59"

Imagine getting your test back, and it didn't have a grade. Instead, it said "salsa" for some reason. This person probably had a panic attack before they saw the truth.

ADVERTISEMENT

That's really a perfect score, not a request for condiments. The test was probably really easy.

A Beautiful Eye...

It's okay if you thought this was an eye. It could fool anyone if they didn't know what it really was. This is nothing more than petrol in water.

ADVERTISEMENT

A drop of petrol perfectly penetrating H2O. It's an interesting science experiment if anything.

Saved By A Hair?

The people want to know how and why this happened? Was she trying to leap out of the car head first, and her hair got caught?

There's so much going on here.

What's Going On Here?

Is this only one dog, or are there multiple? If there's only one, how did it end up like this? The confusion this photo causes is massive.

ADVERTISEMENT

If I had to take my best guess, I would say this is one dog trying to catch his tail. I just don't know how it ended up in a knot.

What Is The Human Doing?

Even the cats don't know what this man is doing. Who uses socks to cover their ears? Is he blocking noise, or is he trying to keep warm?

ADVERTISEMENT

The black cat seems like it wants to attack the socks. One false move and that guys' face could have a claw mark.

"What's Going On In My Backyard Pond?"

Can anyone explain what this is about? It looks like a creature is about to jump out of the pond and attack the city. Water isn't supposed to freeze that way.

ADVERTISEMENT

Perhaps an animal was right under that spot and created waves as the ice started freezing. It's hard to tell.

A Master Trick

If you have a manly beard, then you probably understood this right away. This is a man holding his head back and letting his facial hair trick people.

Drawing a face on his neck with the glasses is a classic move, but why didn't he make it smile?

Since when did they start making jars that resemble Ziploc bags? From a safe distance, this could trick just about anyone.

People would start to question how that pen is sticking out of plastic without falling. This is an interesting design.

In Bangkok, can you purchase cabbage from a vending machine? That's what this looks like. Is their love for cabbage that high?

ADVERTISEMENT

If this isn't a prank, then they must have an undying appreciation for this plant. It's probably their equivalent to Popeyes's spinach.

A New Hairstyle?

The men in this barbershop must not get out often. Why would they want to get a bald haircut like George Costanza from Seinfeld?

ADVERTISEMENT

Is this is a club for people who admire Costanza? There's really nothing you can say to justify these haircut styles.

This Probably Won't End Well

A couple of jumps on this thing, and you might end up breaking a leg. If the skates start moving while you're in the air, you'd better brace for impact.

Whoever came up with this idea lives life on the edge. This shouldn't be something people do for fun.

Doesn't this look like an impressionist painting from a long time ago? It's similar to Starry Night or something else from that genre.

The truth is, this is just a pile of leaves. The photographer took a great overhead shot that turned into this.

It looks like someone found a tiny owl head that got hollowed out! That would be pretty creepy, but thankfully, that isn't the case.

This is just an walnut with a strange shape. I didn't even know they could turn into this shape, but here it is.

You're probably wondering how this cup still has the liquids in it even though the sides are missing. Well, that's because all of the cup is there.

ADVERTISEMENT

What you're looking at is a camera using the depth of field feature on max power. It turned some of the object invisible!

Aliens Or The End Of Times?

If you were to see this, would you think the world was about to end or aliens had arrived? It looks like both, but this is just Mother Nature playing games.

She likes striking fear in the hearts of innocent souls randomly and for no reason. That's pretty scary to see.

Imagine a caveman making the first burger and passing on the recipe. This could easily be an old stone that they carved to show others how the finished product should look.

Too bad that isn't the case. This is just a regular rock someone found on the ground and thought was funny.

This is a 3D image that someone wanted by their mirror for some reason. It's pretty cool and will trick you.

What's Going On With This Door?

Whoever did this to their door needs to stop working on things. The circle makes it look like someone added a giant magnifying glass over that spot.

ADVERTISEMENT

What purpose does this serve to the door or the home? It's mainly distracting above anything else. I have a lot of questions about why this exists.

This is a real deformed egg with a soft shell. This poor thing didn't get enough love coming out.

Discoveries like this are why Chipotle was under fire years back. No one wants to find foreign objects in their "healthy" bowls. They could have gone to Taco Bell.

Still, can you guess what this thing is? Is it a burnt bell pepper that made it in the batch? Your guess is as good as mine.

What if you woke up from a long nap, looked outside, and saw this massive bird in the sky? Do you think you'd know it was a cloud right away?

It oddly looks like a real giant phoenix flying through the air. A young kid might get alarmed after seeing this.

Regardless of what it seems like, that outside wall isn't what you think. The windows on it are fake for some reason.

Maybe they wanted to make it feel real for those who drive past from a certain direction. Architects have a way of doing things their own way.

What if you saw this before you got into the shower? You'd have to burn the whole bathroom down immediately!

Your showerhead should never leak anything that looks like it's coming out the pores of a teenager. This is pretty gross.

Someone woke up and saw this on their lawn one day. At first, you might think it's ice beginning to melt thanks to the sun, but that isn't it.

Others thought it was gel from an ice pack, but that's incorrect as well. Does anyone know what this is?

Who's Hugging Who?

We have two options here. It could be that both of them are exceptional contortionists and should immediately get hired by the circus.

Or, their outfits just happened to blend because they were hugging so tightly and their feet are facing the right way.

Man Against Animal

How do you think zoo animals feel with thousands of people passing by and snapping pictures of them all the time?

It's only fair that they get to be on the other side of the camera every once in a while too.

Trees Are Good For You

These trees look like giant broccoli florets, which only makes us wonder how they would taste.

It would be quite the effort to climb all the way up for a bite, so we'll just leave it up to our imagination.

Although this picture looks like a screen background saver, it's a reminder that we actually should leave our screens behind sometimes and camp in the wounds to admire the beauty of nature.

It's like free therapy, and a break from all the noise.

Long Dog Or Log Dog?

ADVERTISEMENT

This good boy looks like he had his body chopped off. Especially because the color of the wood could pass off for blood.

ADVERTISEMENT

Before you get worried, he actually just happened to be perfectly positioned near a log and still has a very able body.

Two For One

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

Why settle for one good boy when you can have two in one? These two are so such good friends that they became attached at the neck.

ADVERTISEMENT

Just be careful not to ask them directly "Who's a good boy?" if you don't want them fighting for the title.

First, they'll take over our cars, then our homes, then before we know it, we'll be the ones they shoo away from their ledges.

Nature will win against us one day and take back over.

Do you ever feel so overwhelmed that you can't even tell up from down? This isn't made any easier when the sky literally blends in with the water's reflection.

At this dock, you can jump into the unknown but still land in water and float. This is kind of a metaphor that as long as you can float, you'll be okay.
