30 Times Something In An Image Emerged Out Of Nowhere

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with optical illusions and "hidden image" pictures, where there was an object hidden in a photo of something else entirely.

As an adult, that love has remained, but I've grown to see special objects hiding in plain sight all the time. Here's a list that shows what I mean.

"This tree looks like straight up broccoli."

Reddit | Bdogg242

Life saw that you didn't listen to your parents as a kid and eat your veggies, so it's reminding you now. You need those nutrients!

"I had 16 clear stitches on my eyeball from a cornea transplant when this pic was taken and the way the light hits it you can see each one."

Reddit | cnjacksonbray

It's good to know the silver lining to eye surgery is being able to sometimes look like a very realistic android. Oh, and the improved vision and all that.

"This jar is shaped to look like a ziplock bag."

Reddit | coolaaron88

There's something weirdly unsettling about this. It should be collapsing. Why isn't it collapsing? Can we keep plastic things plastic, please?

"My neighbors built their new fence around the trees on their property."

Reddit | DeHumbugger

A lot of people in the comments were being such downers: "Oh the fence is more likely to break" this and "the trees could damage the fence this way" that. It's funky and they were being courteous to the trees, so I think it's fine.

"Heart shaped rock with barnacle arteries found at the beach."

Reddit | Grvs78

Now this is the real heart of the ocean. Sure, it's not a precious piece of jewelry, but at least this one is anatomically correct.

"Took a photo of a double rainbow right when lightning struck."

Reddit | medusabutwscorpions

I hope you bought a lottery ticket. And applied for that job. And texted your ex. Okay maybe not that last one... I don't know what you need luck in.

"My class left space for the gutter margin in the yearbook."

Reddit | namelesuser

And thus your school was the only smart one to ever exist. I can vividly remember how many friends' faces were lost to the inner seam of the yearbook.

"Crisp packet with bad registration."

Reddit | NermAsxn

Not to worry. Just slap some 3D glasses on and you'll have a wacky new chip experience! Never mind, that sounds like a poor marketing campaign written to try and appeal to the youth.

"This person’s mustang says LOL RUN on their tail lights."

Reddit | technolegy2

Are they saying I should run? Why? Are they going to chase me? Are they saying they're faster than me? Either way I feel vaguely threatened.

"Every year, my next door neighbors house looks like a can of Arizona Green Tea."

Reddit | dreph

You know, this would have you craving some really bad, but at least it's a cheap craving to satisfy. Might as well stock up before spring.

"I found my time capsule from 7th grade that has an ominous warning if I open it early."

Reddit | Twuscany

No, no, don't worry, it said "Eart" will be destroyed if you open the box early, not Earth! You're in the clear.

"These croissants are made to look like wooden cubes."

Reddit | zotti_d

Great, but why? Just to make people upset? Because it's working. This is a disgrace to real croissants everywhere.

"My dog runs around my pool in the exact same track so much that there’s a ring of dirt in the grass."

Reddit | Amahoney

That's what we cultured folk call a "desire path." Go ahead and google that if you want a nice, satisfying rabbit hole to travel down.

"Our dog’s paw is a mini-version of him."

Reddit | p480n

He looks so bummed, like he wished it was a mini-version of him. "One day I'll have a puppy of my own. I'll teach him to play fetch, and how to steal treats... Some day."

"These two signs kinda look like they're warning of UFOs beaming people up."

Reddit | VincentsPriceIsRight

A strange thing to advertise, but I guess if they can draw in volunteers it's easier than having to select someone random.

"They’re flying to the moon."

Reddit | weII_then

That wasn't included in the flight itinerary, but it's a pretty good deal regardless.

"My cat sitting on the back of my chair makes it look like she’s wearing a leather jacket."

Reddit | jujub666

"Hey, is this guy bothering you? Listen, buddy, she's not interested, now move along before I get my claws out."

"Noticed that a cloud behind my girlfriend was in the shape of a [thought] bubble!"

Reddit | Dodoman0

Now this is really having your head in the clouds. Or your thoughts in the clouds? Your thoughts...are the clouds. Never mind.

"My (handless) clock makes it look like the wall is buffering."

Reddit | imaportugesetart

While it does create this fun illusion, what other point is there to having a handless clock? Is it even a clock if it can't tell time? That's just a glorified wall decoration.

"Car wash foam creates a sparkling sunset."

Reddit | Rosalie_Crutchley

Live in a city full of buildings that block the sky? Not a problem: Go make your own scenery and wash your car in the same go.

"Mirage of coffee shop window makes it look like this car sells pies out of the boot."

Reddit | Flynnbojangels

I think this sort of business could take off. I know buying food out of the trunk of someone's car is, like, the worst decision you could make, but sometimes you're just really craving a bread roll.

"This stain on my espresso machine looks like Jason Voorhees."

Reddit | AmatureMD

Welcome to Cafe Crystal Lake! No haunted histories here, no drownings, no murders. We promise.

"The way this tree root is growing makes it look like toxic sludge."

Reddit | AdoringPrism

A quick dip in that and you might come back with superpowers. Oh, it's not actually liquid? Bummer...

"My dog matches the dog on the packaging that came with his new dog bed."

Reddit | coconutlemongrass

Well you know what this means: Time to sign your dog up for some modeling classes. He could have quite the lucrative career!

"My parents’ cactus looks like a person waving."

Reddit | Theprofessor123

Put this man on your front porch and you'll have someone to always greet your guests and see them off!

"I made the mistake of shaking a hot solution of jello and protein powder in a closed container; the explosion looks like a crime scene."

Reddit | TravellingBeard

You know I have to ask. Why on earth did you put hot jello mix and protein powder together? What does that make? What purpose does it serve?

This purebread dog.

Reddit | Zykium

Alright, we got one out in the title. Let's list the rest. Pitabull. Labreador retriever. Pupernickle bread. Saint Breadnard.

"This random ass map of the world that my wet hair left on my Nat Geo shirt yesterday."

Reddit | samanntro

Shockingly a lot of people in the comments were quick to call this fake. Do people really think he used a paintbrush and water to paint a crude map on his shirt in a subway station?

"The wind made me look like I'm flying."

Reddit | VenomCarry

Someone in the comments pointed out how her shadow also looked like a centaur. You captured two magical creatures with one stone. Or one picture, rather.

"Saw this truck today that provides these three services for their customers. Plumbing, Astrology, Hypnosis."

Reddit | Chance_The_Ripper

First they fix your sink, then they give you an astrology reading about the future of your sink. That's just long-term care.
