Online Group Records Things That Are Out Of This World, And Here Are 51 Of The Most Interesting Ones
Some people don’t recognize a favor, but this online group sure knows how to save receipts for the weirdest, most jaw-dropping things on Earth. One day it’s a human computer tattoo artist, the next it’s a stained glass greenhouse, and somehow it all feels connected like the universe is leaving breadcrumbs.
The complicated part is that none of it is “normal weird.” There’s Whang-od, the oldest woman to grace the cover of Vogue, and then there’s a snow-white yak that looks like it got dropped into the wrong movie. You’ve got Allied spies using shoes with inverted heels in WWII, American firefighters crossing borders to put out a raging Mexico fire, and even a bonsai tree planted in 1625 that just refuses to quit.
By the time you spot the Vancouver “Up” house, the steam that looks like magical corn, and a duck leading fish like it’s in charge, you realize this feed is basically a portal.
