17 Confusing Images That Will Melt Your Brain
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!
Does this door just open up to the other side of the wall?
Nope! The shape of the wall angles in, giving that illusion if you are standing in the right spot.
This one has me confused beyond belief. What is going on?
After looking through the comments, I'm still perplexed. Here is what u/Jump_Like_A_Willys said: "Is it not what it looks like — a chicken in a bin filled with water and with a cardboard cover with a hole for the chicken to poke up through? That seems to be what it is, but I have no idea why this is. Although maybe there's no water, and that's just a line in the bin? Maybe?"Tell us what you think in the comments!
This spider is not holding this lid up with one single leg, but why does it look like it is?
This bug-viewing device is actually heavier on one side, so it rests at an angle.
What type of animal is in this photo?
Not an alligator! It's actually a lizard on a ledge that is close to the camera, so it looks way bigger than it actually is.
No, these are not mini IUDs floating in the sky. What are they?
They are turbines are in the water, and the person who took the pic was above, in an airplane.
Is the lower half of this person's body backwards?
Nope! Their head is turning to their left side.
There is only one cat here. Why is there a paw coming out of its head?
It is scratching itself, and that is its hind leg!
Is this mirror shattered or just dirty?
Just really dirty! If you zoom in, you can see a ton of dirt/debris on it.
Got any guesses about this one?
Explain the arms going on in this screenshot from an episode of Friends.
What looks like a random fourth arm is actually Jennifer Aniston's left arm just propped up on top of the couch.
Is this trash can lid floating?
No magical trash can here. The lid is just sitting on top of the bushes.
Can anyone share what is so confusing about this photo?
Stitch's arms look like they are her chest!
Is this a battery-operated kid car or a real one?
It is a real one! It just looks tiny from where the person who took the pic is standing.
This is not fried chicken! What is it?
The cutest little cinnamon-colored pups.
Does this toddler have play wings and a matching skirt on?
No, a bird is flying right behind her, which I am sure the smart people already knew.
Ah! That isn't what I think it is...is it?!
Thankfully, no. The person's kneecap just has a strange resemblance to something phallic.
And, lastly, how about this double take, huh?!
The child is sitting on someone's lap, and their dress is resting at an angle that makes the adult's leg look like the child is exposed.

Pregnant woman's nuclear-inspired baby name sparks meltdown on social media
A woman is sparking debate by sharing the baby name of an expectant mother inspired by a nuclear disaster. Posted in the "r/tragedeigh" forum on Reddit, a user shared a photo of a baby shower invite, captioning the post "I'm speechless." "Please join us for a baby shower," reads the pink invite, showing clip art of balloons, a star, moon, and an elephant. "Join us to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little bundle of joy! In honor of: Chernobyl Hope," the invite reveals. The name reflects the deadly 1986 Ukraine nuclear accident that took place at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Ukraine was under the control of the communist Soviet Union at the time, and the disaster took place at a plant built by the Soviets. Ukraine declared its independence in 1991. The Chernobyl tragedy released radioactive material into the atmosphere, making the city an exclusion zone, killing an estimated 31 people. The mom-to-be's post garnered over thirty-two thousand reactions with thousands of Redditors taking to the comment section to discuss. "If I were a guest at that shower and heard that name I'd have a total meltdown," commented a user. One person wrote, "I actually cackled when I saw they combined 'Hope' with this." "I refuse to believe this is real lol," said one user. A user commented, "are all friends invited, or is this just for nuclear family." "I don't want to believe this is real, but if it is, could you PLEASE come back here and update us on how the baby shower went (please go)? You know everyone in that room is going to be super uncomfortable, waiting for the one brave person to bust wide open and just ask the question," asked a user. "Im sure everyone at the celebration will be radiant," joked a user. "I worked with a lady named Chernobyl. She went by Che," claimed one user. One person asked, "What in the end of the world." "This has to be fake. There's no way this is real," said another user. Olivia and Liam were America's most popular baby names in 2024, according to the Social Security Administration. Noah, Oliver, Theodore, and James rounded out the top five boy names. For girls, Emma, Amelia, Charlotte, and Mia were the most popular.

Mom Gets Tattoo of 7-Year-Old Son's Drawing, Then Sees What Artist Did
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mom's tattoo of her young son's artwork has gone viral as people were left in awe at the tattoo artist's changes to the piece. Tabitha, 36, an X-ray tech living in North Carolina, is mom to a 7-year-old son, Cannon, and proudly describes them both as being "a little odd" in the best way. "He's got a great imagination, like most kids," Tabitha told Newsweek, and has a "charming" special place in his heart for pirates—in particular, the Disney movies Pirates of the Caribbean, the first of which was released in 2003. Now, Tabitha has a permanent reminder of her young son's love for the pirates and for art, as she has got one of his drawings tattooed on her. "He draws some pretty wild stuff, so I've been intending on getting all of my favorites [tattooed] on my legs," she explained. "I like them. They're interesting and weird and no one else will have them! "His imagination will always be with me; it feels a little like I'm capturing and keeping this little bit of his childhood forever without having to keep boxes of papers and notebooks." As of 2021, 12 percent of millennials in the United States reported having one tattoo, while 29 percent had multiple tattoos, according to data from Statista. After Cannon drew an exciting battle scene with pirates on a ship, being rocked by waves and fighting off the tentacles of a giant sea monster, she took the piece to local tattoo artist Zach Crisp at Golden Spiral Tattoos in Greensboro, as she had always admired his color work, and asked for his help. Seven-year-old Cannon drew pirates on the sea fighting a large tentacled creature. Seven-year-old Cannon drew pirates on the sea fighting a large tentacled creature. Reddit u/yonderposerbreaks "Originally, I wanted the drawing to stay exactly the same, but just [to] have Zach's color work instead of Cannon's," she explained. "When we talked during the consult, Zach threw forward the idea [of] really letting the two styles contrast each other. "I'm very flexible and not at all picky, so I told him that as long as we kept the same basic bones of it all, I'd be happy with whatever interpretation he could come up with, and I don't regret that; he did it beautifully." Tabitha shared the final product to Reddit's Tattoos sub via her account u/yonderposerbreaks on June 10. And while the pirates and ship remained the exact same way the 7-year-old had drawn them, Crisp had transformed the tentacles and waves into something more professional, giving the piece a unique contrasting look. Reddit users were impressed, awarding the post more than 15,000 upvotes, as one commenter wrote: "That's killer. Bravo to the artist for tweaking the right parts, and keeping the right parts." "Amazing juxtaposition and blending of the child's drawing style vs the more 'polished' details," another agreed, as one said the artist "took the water and tentacles and made them pop, and seems to have kept all the rest very close to the original. Great job." Tattoo artist Crisp told Newsweek: "I never copy designs, I always do my own interpretation. I just looked at this piece as a collaboration, [and] thought the contrast between the two would be cool. I draw with my children a lot so this was a fun piece for me!" The finished product kept Cannon's drawings while polishing the waves and tentacles. The finished product kept Cannon's drawings while polishing the waves and tentacles. Reddit u/yonderposerbreaks Young artist Cannon, too, was happy with the result, Tabitha told Newsweek. "He says that it's 'the best, and I'm super happy about it.'" She admitted she was surprised by how popular her piece was on the Reddit sub, as many tattoo submissions appear to lean towards "artistic perfection" and "realistic" portraits. "I figured mine would be ignored or that people would find it lame because 'kid drawing,' [but] it was surprising to see how many folks were digging the contrast of artistic styles," she said. "Tattoos of kid stuff doesn't have to be boring. It's a collaborative effort between the minds of a burgeoning artist and a seasoned one; I'm just the lucky broad who gets to wear the result for the rest of my life!"
