Things that look like other things

Lately, odd sights and quirky illusions seem to be appearing all over—okay, maybe not literally everywhere—but you’ll definitely spot some gems on this list. Think duck-shaped tomatoes, snow that looks like a fluffy blanket, apple buns that could easily pass for clementines, and a mop that somehow resembles a sassy kid.

Personally, my favorite has to be a strip of bacon that looks eerily like a set of human teeth. Keep reading—there’s plenty more surprising and hilarious sights ahead!

Maybe It Is All A Simulation

When the sunlight hits at just the right angle, these parking markers cast no shadows, creating the illusion that they’re floating above the sidewalk—almost like something you’d see in a Sims game.

James Franco, Is That You?

He never imagined he looked much like James Franco—until he grabbed this Pineapple Express Blu-ray case. The resemblance is uncanny, with his face lining up almost perfectly with Franco’s!

The Floating Patrons

Would you hang out at a bus stop that looks like it’s hosting three ghostly figures? We’d definitely stay outside, quietly hoping not to interrupt whatever mysterious meeting they’re having.

Mike Wazowski

This appliance, which seems to be a vacuum cleaner, bears an uncanny resemblance to Mike Wazowski from *Monsters, Inc.* Now all that’s missing is a Sully broom to complete the duo!

A Transparent Building

This building isn’t empty or see-through at all—its windows are simply so reflective that they create the illusion of transparency. Sometimes, a little extra sky in the skyline— even if it’s just a reflection—can make all the difference.

Not A Cotton Plant

The way the snow settled on these branches is making this plant look like it’s a cotton plant. It’s not a cotton plant. It’s just very cold outside. Snow is pretty cool.

This Isn’t A Picture Frame

This would make a perfect piece of wall art for your office—ideal for daydreaming about being anywhere but stuck at your desk. The twist? It’s not a photo or painting at all. You’re actually looking at a television screen.

Coming Down For A Landing

The hotel room ceiling reflecting in the window gives the eerie illusion of a giant alien spacecraft hovering over the city.

A Bionic Cat

This wall-mounted vacuum bears a striking resemblance to a futuristic bionic cat. Just what we need—an army of AI-powered felines plotting world domination.

We See You, Groot

This person somehow ended up growing their very own mini Groot. There’s something oddly adorable about this little bundle of roots and leaves—maybe this is where the movie got its inspiration!

A Tired House

This house looks like it’s overdue for a nap. After standing on this block for who knows how long, it seems just about ready to tuck itself in and drift off. Sleep tight, little house.

When Things Line Up Perfectly

Whoever parked this car must’ve noticed how perfectly everything lined up—the real tree in front syncs flawlessly with the tree trunk reflected in the side mirror, making it look like one continuous image.

A Window Into His World

Have you ever come across an office cubicle with a tiny window offering a view into your neighbor’s workspace? No? Well, you still haven’t—because what you’re actually looking at here is just a mirror.

An Edible Duck

This tomato naturally grew into the shape of a duck—no sculpting required. Believe it or not, quirky produce like this shows up more often than you’d expect. In fact, there are entire Instagram and Facebook pages devoted to showcasing duck-shaped tomatoes just like this one.

The Snack That Smiles Back

No, this isn’t about those crispy little fish-shaped cheese snacks. What you’re looking at is a spoonful of chocolate chip ice cream that happens to be ridiculously cute. Almost too cute to eat—but only almost.

This Honey Looks Like Shampoo

This honey bottle has a bit of a shampoo vibe to it. The elongated shape and gold packaging give it the appearance of something you’d typically spot in a drugstore.

Not A Silly Font

The text on this sign was never meant to be in a quirky font; it’s simply the green portion that’s been peeling away over time. Now, it gives the impression that these people are living in a Tim Burton film.

Not A Hole

At first glance, it appears there’s a tiny, perfectly round hole in this hardwood floor, but in reality, it’s just a piece of gold confetti. Someone must have been celebrating with a bit of sparkle!

Not A Blanket

The way the snow is sliding off of this car makes it look like somebody threw a fluffy white blanket on top of a vehicle for some reason. It looks pretty cozy.

Don’t Eat This Potato

This person is not holding a potato. In fact, you would break your teeth if you tried to bite into this thing. This is just a rock that looks a lot like a potato.

Can’t Be Bothered

This mop looks like a cool kid with blue hair who just can’t be bothered to go to school anymore. It also kind of looks like Skrillex. Remember Skrillex? From 2012?

Hello There, Fishy

This is not a fish poking his head out of the water, but a rock that’s been beaten up by fast-moving water. Now it kind of looks like it has a fish face.

Entirely Full Or Entirely Empty?

We’ve heard of glasses being on the precipice of being half-full and half-empty, but what about this conundrum? This glass is actually super full. It just looks like it’s totally empty.

Popcorn Or A Mushroom?

this mushroom growing in the ground looks like a perfectly popped piece of popcorn. We have no idea if this mushroom is safe to eat, though. Don’t go around eating strange mushrooms.

An Ice Dragon

This iceberg that was spotted in the Arctic looks a lot like an ice dragon. It’s actually pretty amazing. Now we just need a fire dragon and we’ll have a better premise than Game of Thrones.

Is That You, Freddie?

This crane looks like a giant statue of Freddie Mercury striking a pose. Of course, the real Freddie wasn’t so…industrial looking. Still, we’d like to think that he’d appreciate this accidental tribute.

A Very Green Dog

We’re not sure if somebody arranged their lawn clippings into the shape of a dog on purpose, or if this living art just happened by accident. Either way, it’s nice to look at.

How You Doin’?

This beet looks like a bartender who just asked you how your day was going. You’re about to divulge all of your most personal problems to this friendly little beet.

A Panda Camera

This security camera looks like a panda on the prowl. He’s keeping a watchful eye on everything going on in this neighborhood. He’s so cute that he makes constant monitoring seem a little less scary.

Walking On Air

Looking out the window to see a view like this before you’ve had your morning coffee would leave anyone feeling confused as to how they’re suddenly floating above the clouds. No need to panic, though: the lake was just feeling particularly reflective that morning.
