Netizens Sharing And Answering Weirdest Things To Exist on Earth Ever
So weird, but the Internet has got your back.
It’s pretty easy to encounter something that is so weird, you are so inclined to find someone who can answer your questions. Most of the time, however, they are not intact and is only a piece of what it originally was, making it hard to guess what it is. Like the escape scene of Dobby the elf that recently went viral.
A subreddit is dedicated to allowing people to upload pictures of things they found and have others reply as to what they could be. What looks like a UFO sighting might have just been a natural phenomenon. Weird creatures caught on tape was probably just another raccoon loitering around.

3. “Spain. Why are there water bottles outside all the driveways and entrances?”
It’s supposed to prevent homeless cats and dogs from peeing to mark their territories (although some people have claimed that it doesn’t work). Some people think it’s because you wouldn’t poop right next to your food.

11. “Found at antique festival near Atlanta, is 17″ by 5.5″”

12. “Jelly fish found on the beach”
It’s dead, but it’s called Man of War and if you find one, you will be steering clear from it, or the next thing you realize would be complete darkness because you’re dead.

13. Figurine washed ashore
This is the Santerian Orisha Olokun and while people might think that a ship probably sunk that cause things like this to get washed ashore, it’s not. Olokun holds one snake in one hand and a mask in the other. It has to be kept in water and could have been disposed through a ritual procession.

The shape was to give it the ‘lucky fish’ look.
