20 Things People Found In The Strangest Places

There has been a moment in all of our lives where we've come across something that leaves us in stunned silence. Not due to awe or amazement, but sheer confusion.

This list contains some strange things found in even stranger places that people decided to capture and share with the world, so that we may all go, "Wait, huh?"

"I saw some ants carrying a glove up a lamp..."

The raw strength and teamwork that ants possess is one of nature's coolest features. However, I usually see them using this strength to transport food, so I'm a little worried about the plans they have for this glove. What do they know that I don't?

"This thing has an identity crisis."

This thing is... oddly cute? In the way that any giant object turned tiny is cute. But it's also frightening bizarre. It's so abnormal that if I saw that thing speed down the road, I think I'd be scared. So many conflicting feelings for a car.

"This restaurant puts a mesh net over your lemon so when you squeeze it, no seeds get in your food."

This is one of those things that you don't even realize is a problem until someone suggests a perfect solution like this. Sure, no one wants lemon seeds in their food, but it was manageable. Now that it has a prevention measure? No one will ever tolerate a seed in their food again.

"The new bike [locks in] my town are... Bike locks!"

The only thing that could make this better is if these were the bike locks. If there were giant combinations on the side that would randomly generate a code for you every new time it got locked. The novelty, the joy of it all.

"This shark tooth I found on the beach."

Whoa! When people say they found a shark tooth, it's usually not one this dang big, that's impressive!

Lots of people in the comments were saying that this could be a megalodon tooth, which would make the find even cooler!

"A Chicken has been roaming the local park recently."

And he's having a grand ol' time while doing it, too. He was tired of being cooped up all the time, so he decided to venture across the road in search of some fun!

'Went to Walmart. Parked next to a horse."

Forget electric cars or public transit, getting yourself a horse is the only way to really cut down your carbon footprint. With the right carriage, you'll be riding in style, with more trunk space than you'd ever get in a sedan.

"This classic car looking golf cart."

I always saw golf as the ultimate rich man's hobby, and this does nothing but confirm that. Not only do they own their own golf cart, but they own their own custom golf cart that's modeled after a classic car. Whoever this belongs to definitely has different vacation homes for each season.

"Don't you just love October sunrise."

I truly do. Seeing the rays of light shine through the ribcages of the migrating giant skeletons is a truly beautiful sight that you only get this time of year. Some people think it's scary, but they aren't harmful. They're more scared of us than we are of them.

"My college had red velvet pancakes as a breakfast option."

Red velvet pancakes? Red. Velvet. Pancakes? Why did I never consider this as an option? How could my life have ever been considered complete before this? What blessed angel created this heavenly piece of breakfast food? I must thank them with everything I have.

"An oddly specific speed limit I came across."

In residential areas, those two miles can mean a lot! It's the difference between going over a bump a little quickly, and going over a bump a bit quicker than that, maybe shaking your car a tiny bit more.

"[Found] a spam slicer for my dad!"

Discovering these types of hyper-specific cooking utensils always makes me happy. Someone out there is a Spam lover who just had to have this made, and other spam lovers around the world resonated and got one too. What a beautiful sense of community.

"Cool statue in the middle of nowhere right off route 66."

This statue seems shockingly clean for something off a major highway in the middle of nowhere surrounded by dirt. Not sure if it's just the type of stone, or if someone comes to clean it, but the latter is a nice thought. Someone cleaning this lone state just to keep it looking nice for those who find it.

"Super Nintendo 'Freeplay' on the streets of Akihabara/Tokyo."

This is such a cute idea to have set up on the street, and would make a fun day even better for so many pedestrians and other shoppers who are having a day out! Who wouldn't be down for a quick battle while on the go?

A special find.

The uploader of this photo explained the story behind it in the original post's title, "While on a morning walk two years ago I saw a rain-soaked photo album in a box on the side of the road.

"Curiosity got the better of me and I opened it. Every single page was completely filled with selfies of the same woman in roughly the same pose."

"This rock with fossilized shells I found in the middle of a forest in upstate New York."

Most people won't ever come across a single fossil in their lifetime, let alone a huge chunk of stone full of 'em!

One user identified these as brachiopods from either the Silurian or Devonian periods, while another described it as an ancient seabed.

"A sign in front of a clothing optional beach at lake Tahoe."

The fact that this wasn't advertised before is a little worrying. Before someone carved this in, there were definitely some people who didn't know it was clothing optional and brought their kids down by mistake.

"A long lost AirPod in my vacuum."

Wireless earbuds seem magically drawn to the strangest, smallest of places that you would never look for a lost item as long as you lived. They will never reveal themselves until after you find a new pair and when they do, they will laugh at you.

"Found a guy on the highway hauling a real Iron Lung."

Are iron lungs still used anywhere? Or is there a more modern replacement for them.

Either way, the thought of these things gives me major creeps. Sure, they were life saving, but that doesn't stop them from being scary!

"[Found] on my hiking trail today. [What] did [Tim] do?!"

Tim has been on the run in that forest for ages now. He's lost count of how long this hunt against him has been going on, but in the meantime he's become a master of survival. The park will not rest until he's taken down, and they need your help.
