20 Pics That Make Sense No Matter How They Look

It is surprisingly easy to make a completely normal photo seem like it belongs in another world.

With the right lighting, angle, or weird intermingling of a photo's subjects, a photo of a beloved pet can either end up looking like the results of an extremely unethical experiment or the victim of an unusual photo glitch.

And naturally, most of the best examples of this phenomenon happen by complete accident and find themselves on the internet courtesy of their astonished photographers.

So let's enjoy and take a trip down a particularly mind-bending lane.

When a couple embraces tightly enough, it's sometimes a little tricky to tell who is who.

And that's how we ended up with this eye-catching photo that is just a shot of a man hovering over a woman with her head on the table and not an amorphous mass of flailing limbs.

This house has a pretty big problem but let's see if you can identify what it is.

If you think a big rat chewed its way through this wall, you've definitely identified a real nightmare scenario but you're also wrong.

Instead, we're looking at a sizable mushroom that sprouted out from this floor.

Considering how unlikely the alternative is, it's hard not to initially see this as a weirdly narrow bridge or tunnel.

However, it is nonetheless true that somebody managed to get their car perfectly stuck in the space over this canal.

I don't think we could do that if we tried.

While that's a good question, it seems others had one that appeared just as valid.

Namely, how were they supposed to study when they came across a photo of a hedgehog stuck in a little jar?

At least, I assume that was what they asked because this person eventually posted a follow-up tweet reassuring people that's not what happened here.

A canoe's entire job is to float but not quite like it appears to be doing here.

As much as we might like one that hovers over the beaches, it seems like we'll still have to wait for that kind of technology.

Because this one is just casting a deceptive shadow through some pristine waters.

Believe it or not, there are four elks in this photo.

If — like I was — you're totally stumped on where this fourth elk is, I would like to direct your attention to the one at the top right.

In fact, these are two elks. One is leaning over to take a drink and the other is poking its head past the rest of that one's body.

If you're wondering how and why someone managed to get their silver exercise ball stuck in a tree, you can wonder no more!

Because it turns out there actually isn't anything stuck in this tree. That's just a clearing that gives us a view of the moon.

People can sometimes come up with some wild car mods but this one probably rolled out of the factory like this.

It's just that some time after it found an owner, that owner stopped it in just the right position to make these traffic-blocking concrete balls look like very strange wheels.

This photo appears to show a building that opens up to a parallel universe, albeit one that's incredibly similar to our own.

However, this building wasn't abandoned to protect the terrible secrets of space. Instead, a large puddle happened to form after that abandonment occurred that is now reflecting the image of this central column.

All it takes is a little green light to make it look like we're living in a world of giant vegetables.

But instead, what we're actually looking at is simply normally sized vegetation no matter how much this tree looks like a massive piece of broccoli.

I don't blame you if you won't be able to unsee what this caption suggests but you might be curious to know what's actually going on.

As funny and mildly disturbing as the idea of a cat assembling itself with a stoic look on its face is, we're really just seeing one cat roughhouse with its buddy in the box while its body blocks its head.

If you're concerned about what this man with the backpack is running from, I can assure you you don't have to worry.

That's because we're really just looking at a dog bounding towards the photographer after a snowy romp in the woods.

I suppose that if a cat must be as overwhelmingly massive as this one, it's a good thing that it also seems more sleepy than anything.

Of course, as much as some people would be pretty tempted to welcome a cat this large into their yards, it's simply perched on a cliff overlooking a distant city.

Its size is pretty average, I'm sorry to say.

If you're wondering who those two extra feet belong to, I'm afraid there's no answer.

While this photo didn't come with an explanation, the only one that seems to make sense is that this woman got new shoes but still decided to bring her old ones home with her.

This person isn't quite as messy of an eater as they may seem in this picture.

Because while it may seem like there's a big dollop of ketchup between these two strips of bacon, it's yet another piece of bacon of a slightly different color.

It's a bit greasy but that's the only mess we're seeing here.

This dog camouflages just well enough on this rug to be a little disorienting.

Because while the effect isn't quite extreme enough to look like this room is haunted by a floating dog head, it's a little hard to tell where the rug ends and it begins.

Don't worry, this image doesn't prove that we're all living in a simulation.

Because while it may seem like this yard has a suspicious two-way mirror or an inter-dimensional portal in it, we're really looking at the reflection of a backlit mirror in the uploader's window.

And while we're not worrying about things, there's nothing wrong with this cat's front leg.

Not only is it not lying severed in front of the cat but it's not even in the shot at all because the kitty has it tucked under the rest of its body.

So what is that thing, then? Apparently, a very large sausage.

No matter how long we look at this picture, it can still be hard to decide whether we're looking at a boat or a decorative ornament that this person is holding close and tilting towards the water.

For that reason, I've simply decided to trust the uploader's statement that this is indeed a boat with a bow that comes to a very narrow point.

It's amazing how trippy such a simple photo can be.

The uploader was impressed by how immersive the opening menu was when they started playing _The Last Of Us_ and this photo makes it hard not to agree with them.

Because if we weren't made painfully aware of how precariously balanced that TV is, we'd probably just think this was the view from their window.
