Viral Pictures That Really Put Life Into Perspective
The world around us is pretty interesting if we just take the time to look at it.
We're often so busy with our schedules and meetings and traffic jams that we forget to stop and smell the roses. These people found moments of wonder in the everyday. They took pictures of those wondrous moments and posted them online so they could share them with the world.
Keep reading for some pictures that will change the way you look at libraries, paper towel, mushrooms, and so much more.
A More Attractive Porta Potty
Portable toilets aren't the most attractive structures in the word. In fact, they might be some of the least attractive. This person decided to make their rental toilet look a little bit better.
A Long Avocado
Who knew avocados could be this long? We're not sure if this is some new breed of avocado or if this is a genetic mutation, but either way, it's pretty cool.
A Hereditary Eyebrow
This girl has a gap in her eyebrow that's apparently been passed down in her family from generation to generation. Just have a look at this portrait of her great-great-great-grandfather!
The Wrath Of A Tornado
A tornado tore through this town and twisted this tree up so much that it broke under the stress. You can actually see how much the tree twisted in this photo.
Honey All Year Long
These three jars of honey all came from the same bees. They are different colors because they were harvested at different times of the year, with different plants providing the nectar. The lightest jar was harvested in the spring and the darkest jar was harvested in the fall.
A Convertible Bench
The bench in this seaside town is convertible so people who sit on it can choose to either look at the water or look at the park. Why aren't all benches like this?
To Prune Or Not To Prune?
This guy severed a nerve in his index finger, and now half of his finger can no longer prune when exposed to water. All of his other fingers are perfectly fine.
A Brutal Crash
How could this little car make such a big dent in that side rail? Okay, so the toy car was probably placed there after the rail was already dented, but it still looks cool.
An Image Revealed
The Itsukushima Shinto shrine appears in this dish when soy sauce is poured into it. What a creative use of ceramics! Who knew soy sauce could be so much fun?
This Pen Is Worth 130,000 Words
This pen tells you approximately how many words you'll be able to write with it. That's an interesting marketing strategy. Maybe all pens could come with this kind of measurement.
This Dog's Spots Fade Over Time
Dogs change as they age just like people do. Their fur gets lighter as they get older. This dog has changed a lot over the past 10 years. He doesn't have those dark eye spots like he used to.
Living Under A Rock
This person is literally living under a rock. Like, her house is located under a giant rock. This is kind of like Patrick's house in SpongeBob. The rock part at the top looks the same.
This Driftwood Looks Like A Dragon
At first glance, this looks like an ordinary piece of driftwood. When you look closer, though, you can see that the ocean has turned this chunk of wood into something resembling a dragon head.
The Best Cosplay
This person is partially paralyzed, but he used his disability to his advantage when he attended a sci-fi convention. He dressed up as a rioter from Mad Max: Fury Road and his motorized wheelchair really helped sell the costume.
Hearts On Her Ears
This kitten is so full of love that she has two black hearts right on her ears. The two hearts are pretty much identical. They're mirror images of each other.
The Real Tiger King
Tiger King might be a viral sensation, but let's not forget about this man, the real Tiger King, Steve Irwin. He never exploited animals for money, he cared about conservation, and he never tried to kill anybody.
Glove Inserts
These hand-shaped playing cards were found inside some winter gloves. They were helping the gloves hold their shape. They were probably recycled from an old playing card factory. Now we know where all the faulty cards end up.
A Mountain Of Books
This incredible shot shows the Starfield Library in Seoul, South Korea. How does anybody access the books at the very top of this display? Look how small the woman at the bottom of the photo looks in comparison.
A Crowded Island
This is Migingo Island. It's a super tiny island in Lake Victoria in Africa. Despite having an area of 22,000 square feet, more than 100 people live here. How does anybody even walk?
A Nesting Spot
Somebody left this coat in a wooded area hanging from a tree, so a couple of birds decided to make a nest in its front pocket. It looks super cozy in there.
This Is A Mushroom
This is a giant puffball mushroom that somebody found in the woods just outside their house. That thing looks like a giant ball of mozzarella cheese. It's so perfectly round!
A New Paper Towel System
We're so used to seeing paper towels being sold in rolls that we never thought there might be a better alternative. These paper towels are all circles, but they've been folded into cones to facilitate easy picking up.
A Really Old Fridge
This kitchen looks like your average modern kitchen, but there's a wall-mounted fridge in here that hasn't been moved since the '60s. The fridge still works perfectly, which is why it's still in place.
New Vs. Old
In this photo, you can see tradition go head to head with technology. Beside that giant satellite dish, there's a tiny church with no other houses around it. It really gives you a sense of how big the satellite is.
A Parking Mosaic
We're used to seeing handicapped parking spaces being marked with paint, but we haven't seen one done with a mosaic before. This is such a good idea! It will last so much longer than the painted-on symbols.
An Unusual Temple
This looks like a temple you might find in Nepal or Tibet. If you look closely, you can see that the pattern on the wall is actually made out of thousands of empty beer bottles.
Not A Photo
Do you see the guy in the blu shirt in the photo behind these two smiling ladies? Well, that's not a photo at all. It's a mirror. That's the guy taking the picture.
Plenty Of Produce
This grocery store has installed mirrors above their produce to make it look like they have more fruits and vegetables than they actually do. It also allows shoppers to look at the produce from all angles.
Honey By The Comb
You've never seen honey this fresh before. This place is selling frames of honey and honeycomb all together. We're not sure what you're supposed to do with the frame after you're done eating the honey, though.
Blown Off The Road
A storm in this area picked up this whole piece of road and blew it apart. Nature can be pretty scary when it wants to be. This is what roads look like underneath the road part, apparently.
Sweet Like Sugar
To make it abundantly clear to their patients just has much sugar is in their favorite drinks, this dentist took the visual route of intimidation, and now we feel like we should be flossing more.
Time To Duck And Cover
In case you ever wondered just how big an asteroid would have to be in order to knock out Earth's population, or at least part of it, this is an asteroid compared to just the size of LA.
Australia Isn't Real
Imagine living in a place where a "high" risk of forest fires is actually on the low scale and there's still four more possible categories after that. How bad would it have to be to be "catastrophic"?
Perspective Park
Careful when you're walking through this park or you'll end up walking right off the edge... and onto the regular sidewalk immediately next to it. All it takes is a few chalk lines to change your perspective.
There's Something You're Not Seeing
No, you're not looking at an object floating above a tire. There's actually a truck in the left side of this image, it's just so well polished it looks like a mirror.
The Earth Doesn't Revolve Around You
You may like to think that Earth is the largest planet in our solar system or that it's the center of the universe because it's the most important to you, but look at how many Earth's can fit inside of the sun.
2-For-1 Deal
Humans like to think that we're the smartest creatures that exist on Earth but take a look at this dolphin brain compared to a human brain and see if your opinion doesn't shift at all.
Reimagining The Ruins
It's not the same as if you had been able to see the whole building when it was still intact, but this is one way to be able to fill in the blanks.

Everything You Know Is A Lie
You might have thought (like most other people) that sidewalks were laid individually by bricklayers, but if this is how they really do it, why does construction always take so long?
