Good Luck Making Sense Of These 18 Absolutely Baffling Photos We Discovered This Week

Yahoo09-08-2025
Hello again, and welcome to our roundup of the most confusing photos we found on Reddit this week. Check out last week's if you missed it — and let's get right into it!
1.Alrighty. Tell us how this ginormous gorilla got into this person's house...
I bet you didn't realize it is a little toy just sitting right in front of the camera!
2.Someone said, "He is risen!" and someone else said, "Good thoughts in, bad thoughts out." WHAT IS IT, THOUGH?!
Apparently, it is supposed to be a shadow under his thigh...

3.Do you know what is going on here? I'll give you a hint: Someone is selling a mirror. Make sense of it!
If you're having some trouble, focus on the gold embellishments on the top and corners of the mirror, and that should help you make sense of it. The mirror is standing upright.
4.No matter how much it looks like this person has a sausage in their ear, they do not. EXPLAIN!!!
The person holding the sausage is closer to the camera than they appear. The person behind just happens to be leaning in a way that lines up to where it looks like the sausage is being put directly in their ear.
5.Thankfully, this is not a creeper staring at the person taking the photo...so what could it be?
Just a jacket, hanging up.
6.This is not a swarm of flies. What is it?
You are looking at the bottoms of shoes. People are dancing on a glass ceiling and the person taking the photo is below them.
7.This is not a dog resting its head on the roof. Tell us what it really is...
Related:
It is actually a cat on a roof!
8.Does this person have some sort of weirdly double-jointed thumb?
Nope. The bottle is casting a shadow on their thumb at the bottom of the bottle, making it look like the knuckle joint on their thumb is a weird nub.
9.This is actually not the sky. Tell us what you know it is!
A pond that is reflecting the sky with clouds.

10.Is this a giant dinosaur coming around the corner????
Related:
It is really a semi carrying a wind turbine blade in the back.
11.Here comes what looks like a parachuter...but it technically is not. What is it?!
It is a little toy parachuter!
12.This is not a giant TV on the wall. What is going on?
It is just a wall that was painted black. There is actually a TV hung on it if you look closely.
13.This is not a dog, but why does it look so much like one?
Because it is a pillow of someone's dog!
14.Is this some sort of rollercoaster or just a really terrifying bridge?
It is the Eshima Ohashi Bridge in Japan, and it is actually not that steep; it just appears that way in this photo.
Related:
15.This cat is not inside a fish tank. Explain why it looks that way.
Their little viewing area actually has an opening so they can sit inside and see the fish. Very clever.
16.This is not two photos edited together. Can you make sense of it?
There is one walkway and a ship is docked on each side.
17.There is something peculiar about this tree. Can you identify it?
There is a gecko that is perfectly camouflaged on it. You can see its eye!
18.And, finally, is this a Zoom call?
Nope! The reflection of them on the table makes it look like you are looking at a computer screen.
Do you have a really, really, REALLY confusing photo that you think we need to see?! Add it in the comments below, and you could be featured in our next weekly roundup of stumping people!

‘Twelfth Night' Review: Lupita Nyong'o in Illyria

New York theater audiences tend to play it exceedingly cool when the famous arrive to catch a show. A global movie star can walk in without causing a discernible ripple. But there are celebrities and then there are celebrities. Minutes before a preview performance of 'Twelfth Night' at the freshly renovated, newly back-in-business Delacorte Theater in Central Park last week, a delighted murmur fluttered through the crowd. One of the theater's storied resident raccoons was strolling nimbly along the top of the house-right wall. Sometimes summer glamour comes draped in fur. Other times it's wrapped in a citrus-orange life jacket. That is how we first glimpse Viola, the resourceful romantic hero of 'Twelfth Night,' which opened on Thursday evening in an energizingly comic production whose casting with so many boldface names veritably screams, 'Shakespeare in the Park is back, baby.' Played by Lupita Nyong'o, Viola sits aboard a rubber life raft in the opening scene. She has been rescued by a sea captain from a shipwreck in which she believes her twin brother died. We feel her defenselessness as she self-soothes, crossing her bare arms and giving herself gentle little pats. Yet even in her shock, she retains her luminosity. Arriving a bit early, though, isn't she? Doesn't Shakespeare begin 'Twelfth Night' — which is, after all, a festive confection — with the infatuated Duke Orsino uttering the famous line, 'If music be the food of love, play on'? Saheem Ali's production hasn't cut it, but merely decided that Orsino can wait. By flipping the first two scenes, and giving Viola the play's final line, Ali has recentered a character who has been known to get lost in the overstuffedness of this comedy. And by having her speak initially in Swahili — 'Je, hii ni nchi gani, bwana?,' or 'What country is this, sir?,' she asks the captain — Ali establishes her firmly as a person arriving, in unaccustomedly desperate straits, on the shore of a foreign land, Illyria.

‘Twelfth Night' Review: Greatness Thrust Upon Central Park

New York The Public Theater's free Shakespeare in the Park program has long been among the city's most beloved and popular cultural institutions. So last summer was a cruel one, when the theater was unable to present a show due to an $85 million renovation of the Delacorte Theater. The project has been completed, and the Public is welcoming back the public with a festive party of a production of 'Twelfth Night.'
