30 Funny And Confusing Pics Posted By The “Images That Require More Context” Twitter Page (New Pics)
A picture can really be worth a thousand words. But sometimes, they're "written" in a foreign language.
As you might've learned from our previous article on 'Images That Require More Context', there's a reason why people should provide captions for the photos they post online. If there isn't one, the rest of us might have more questions than answers.
"Why is that duck riding the subway?" "Did it pay for a ticket?" "How does the bird know when to get off?" "Can it read?" And so on.
But in case you missed the memo, let's take another look at what the Twitter account has been posting lately.
(Spoiler alert, it continues to stay true to its name.)

just for record - never ever feed geese or swans with bread
Load More Replies...Geese can be hardcore. This bastards should be part of swat-teams. Got attacked by one some years ago, never looked at them the same since then
I was just wondering if this type of goose has the same temperament as Canada Geese. Those are the only ones I've met and yep, I keep my distance.
Load More Replies...Officer: Sir, we're on the lookout for a rebellious duck. Just ran away from home. Have you seen it? Driver: Oh, he was on a bus.
Yep, and install the goose "virus" (I think it's a mod, not a virus)... Then you'll not need context ;)
Load More Replies..."Hello Sir, I'm officer Sharpe, this is officer Goose, do you know why we pulled you over today?"
So, it's just a bear out on the town looking for a few laughs, a few drinks and some meaningful conversation.
Naw man. He's in Russia - he's looking for hookers, caviar and all the vodka he can get. (Edit to give context: that's what my brother was offered when he was in Moscow on a business-trip a few years ago)
Load More Replies...And what do you know! It's Russia! (The words on the side of the cab, unless it's Ukraine or Belarus, but most likely Russia)
Guess what? Not Russia! It's from Belarus, they were filming some movie according to the internet
Thank you for the 'context'. I was dying to know!
Load More Replies...If you feel uneasy when browsing these pictures, don't worry. There's nothing wrong with you. In fact, Dr. Clay Routledge, who is a social psychologist and professor of Psychology at North Dakota State University, points out that we humans need meaning. So whenever there is a lack of it — as it seems with many of these images — we're triggered.
"According to terror management theory, a prominent theory in social psychology, humans are like all other animals in that we strive to survive. Our bodies consist of systems that work to keep us alive. And as conscious beings, we deliberately engage in efforts to avoid death. We are motivated to live. However, unlike other animals, humans are intelligent enough to realize that death is certain. That is, we are uniquely aware of our mortal nature. We understand that despite our best efforts to stay alive, death is inevitable," Routledge writes in Scientific American.
I'm just guessing it was male genitalia. If it was female genitalia, well, they must be an acrobat.
A girl opens the door and sees her boyfriend with his arms full of presents. He: Guess what I pressed the doorbell with?
I'm from Alabama, I've never had the urge to do this... those students must have been from out of state.
I'm from Alabama too. I've been to parties down there. Must have been fraternabrats.
Load More Replies...Only way I can imagine this happening, is by lifting the car with a crane.
Nah the building under it sinks into the ground so he can drive off. Thunderbirds have been hit by the recession.
Load More Replies...I mean, it aint to uncommon, 'Mini' car dealerships in particular seem to enjoy making 'Spider-cars.' Spider-Min...f-jpeg.jpg
Has to be a compact car. If it was a high dollar car, truck, or SUV, it’d be sitting at an angle and hanging off the edge, because they wouldn’t have parked it so nice and straight.
It's also fake. Why would the kid bring a weapon into a hospital 🙄 people believe everything
Load More Replies...Terror management theory asserts that this juxtaposition of a desire to live and an awareness of death can cause a significant amount of anxiety, and that humans need to manage this terror in some way if we want to keep functioning.
"We would not be a very productive species if we lived our lives in constant fear of death. Thus, according to the theory, people seek out a sense of enduring meaning that makes them feel more than mortal," Routledge explains.
Everyone talking about the truck no one talking about how strong the wires are
Still from a cut scene in the movie Twister. They used the “We got cows” scene instead. (In case you think it’s real. No it isn’t. I just made it up.)
Darn, I was going to type "Kone Klux Klan", but before hitting "POST" I checked whether someone already made that joke/pun. And sure enough...
Load More Replies...Um...I am not sure this is what Jesus meant when he said to carry your cross..
I'm late to my crucifixion! I'll be in big trouble if I don't make it on time!
"He took mine! I don't have one now! I am missing all the fun!"
Load More Replies...To put it simply, we know our lives are brief and so we try to be part of something that transcends biological existence. "This sense of death-transcendence can come from having children, creating works that will leave a lasting legacy, investing in a group or organization that outlasts the lives of any individual member, and so on," the social psychologist says.
Naturally, spirituality is a particularly powerful meaning-making tool as most religious beliefs explicitly afford humans with an afterlife.
Pretty sure that's a subway but yeah, just ducking around.
Load More Replies...This needs no additional context. Obviously, without a drivers license, he has to use public transportation.
Exactly. What's he to do, he has to get to work somehow 🤷🏼
Load More Replies...Duck: he he, I'm sure dad and the officer won't look in a bus. They'll only stop cars.
Taking up only one seat? More polite than many other people who use public transport. But where is its ticket?
The one time the officer doesn't say 'please step out of the car, sir'
Based on the Cyrillic lettering, I'm guessing it's in Russia. Context found

Load More Replies...This was in Mexico. Many young citizens showed up wearing all kind of costumes to take the shot, just for the fun of it 😜
This will reverse radioactive spider bites right? Just asking for a friend
Spidey was just following the chick in front of him and was willing to go along with anything.
Drunk driver, hilly area. Happened a couple years ago in Orange County -- Fullerton, I think, but I don't remember for sure.
Load More Replies...Here is a video of it: https://abcnews.go.com/US/dramatic-video-captures-car-crashing-2nd-floor-dental/story?id=52353574
Damn, the car passed so close to another car and a bus! So lucky it didn't hit neither. Crazy
Load More Replies...I'm imagining a life-sized hot wheels 🔥loop-de-loop, shooting the car into a second floor window. lol
Is this art? I am just trying to imagine how this could have happened.
This is why I stay home and drink can't do more than trip over the coffee table.
"Research supports terror management theory," Routledge highlights. "Specifically, studies find that when people are exposed to stimuli that remind them of their mortality, they exhibit increased investment in the social and cultural identities that provide meaning and perceptions of death-transcendence."
For instance, if someone actively contemplates mortality, it increases their desire to have children, level of patriotism, religious faith, and commitment to romantic partners.
"In short, heightening the awareness of death heightens efforts to find and preserve transcendent meaning"
Park the van under a tree in a parking lot, and leave it there for a few hours. Then tell us that birds aren't real.
They are a satirical group, making fun of conspiracy theories.
Load More Replies...All birds were swapped out for surveillance drones in 1978 and they charge on power lines
In all it's absurdity it almost makes sense..But makes me angry we had to wait so long for wireless charging of our phones :-D

Can't believe people believe this whole government conspiracy of 'birds'. Please. We know the truth. We know they're not real. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Under water camping challenge!! Who ever doesn't die first gets $1000!!!!! GOT INTENSE!!!
Once we were playing hide and seek and my friend didn't find a place to hide so hid in the pond nearby. we could never find him. He won the game tho! //Fiction
With inflation prices the way they are, sometimes you gotta just settle for the cheapest campground.
I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out - Rodney Dangerfield
Load More Replies...I've been to hockey games where there's bad fights, but this..this is something beyond Canadianness...
(I haven't been to a hockey game in Canada, so I'll let any Canadians on here to tell me the truth)
Load More Replies...Everyone's talking about the fight, hockey or Canada... Is no one else questioning how the hell they got a police car in there??
In 2016, the governor of Ohio was campaigning to help John Sununu (old friend from congressional days) try to become governor of NH. At a stump speech, he said since Daniel Radcliffe is an atheist, its weird. He continued to say since he was an atheist, he hates Ohioans. The Ohio University Quiddich club jumped on it and started making T-shirts. They come out with a new one the first weekend of Feb each year for Sibs weekend when the local theater has a Harry Potter Film Festival.
Sununu has actually been doing a good job here in N.H.
Load More Replies...The colors make me think University of Michigan
Load More Replies...Gotta be from my school UofM (Michigan) the maize & blue? colors say it all.
The colors are bright yellow and black. Aren't those Iowa's colors?
Load More Replies...That's the point. It needs an explanation. Just like every other picture here.
Load More Replies...Similarly, Routledge says that meaning mitigates the threat of death awareness. In fact, studies show that having people think about death increases their fear of it, but this effect is only observed among those who do not perceive their lives as meaningful.
"People who have meaning are not as terrified about the fact that they are mortal," Routledge says.
YA know......starting to believe strongly here that some people just need to have their license revoked.
What Trout Walker would have done after Kate kissed Sam if those flashbacks took place in the 21st century.
"After all, why else am I being driven around in a limo while you're stuck with a rusty old Pinto?"
Gun or photoshop? I hope it's photoshop, otherwise this is a waste of a perfectly good billiards table.
People saying gun seem to have missed the most basic of physics concepts. A bullet moving fast enough and with enough force to split resin like this would also...move the balls quite a bit, and shatter the table more. Force = mass x acceleration. If a cat in motion smashes into a parked car, the parked car doesn't just stay where it was parked and split down the middle, it moves from it's original location. This is staged.
"If a cat in motion smashes into a parked car"...LMAO!
Load More Replies...Research suggests that the realization that life is finite is the driving force for our efforts to feel that our lives are purposeful and meaningful.
People want to be more than mere mortal beings who, at some point in time, disappear forever. To feel meaningful is to feel like you've made a lasting mark, and that your contribution will endure.
I know it's a stretch, but maybe, just maybe, viewing seemingly random pictures with no apparent reason behind them somehow challenges our notion of a greater purpose? But maybe that's just maybe. Maybe you're completely unfazed by this list.
When fire departments had horse-drawn engines and trucks, they had problems keeping the horses from climbing the stairs. So they started building the firehouses with spiral staircases so the horses couldn't climb, and they added the pole to come down with.
Thank you for the interesting fact of the day! I didn't know that!
Load More Replies...Can you imagine being a horse and having to walk down stairs? Poor Horse.
Reminds me of a line from the movie, 'The Commitments': (Man gets to lift, waiting beside young kid with horse, also waiting for lift) Man: Hey Kid: Wha? M: You're not taking that into the lift. K: I have to, the stairs will kill him.
Oh f**k. Somebody tied the horse's reins to the railing, which is hazardous to it's teeth and mouth if it pulls (because of the bit). UGH! Sorry, but as a horse mom this really pisses me off.
But the fact that it is in the middle of a stair well is ok?
Load More Replies...So as I’m sitting here looking at this picture I ask myself...wtf would I even do if I came across a f*****g horse in a stairway? I haven’t a f*****g clue
A truck carrying hagfish crashed on a road with the car in the picture. Hagfish release slime when disturbed, car covered in slime. Think I’ve got that right?
Oh, I think those are slime eels that spilled from a truck after a crash!
It wasn't slime, it was ooze! - movie quote, sorry. Popped into my head.
Load More Replies...Hagfish are fcking disgusting! I'd like to know if the car was carrying them or what ever hit the car catapulted them onto the car when they collided. Either way that car is toast
The truck carrying them had thousands of them on it, overturned on an Oregan highway causing a multiple car pile up. They basically exploded all over the south highway.
Load More Replies...Hagfish slime is also use for ballistics protection, firefighting, diver protection and durable environmentally friendly fabric!!
This is from a meme the girl in the picture made. The joke was about short girls having to develop levitation powers to be able to get things from the top shelf.
The cool thing is that now short people can get cabinets that pull down from the wall so they can reach them. They're expensive though. I am thinking of getting them when I finish my reno... if I ever finish.

Load More Replies...Poor creatures... After reading consider the lobster I just feel sorry for all lobsters out thete
I feel awful for lobsters ! They are so amazing and people are the freaking worst ! I hope a giant one eats all of humanity one day !
Load More Replies...Maybe they are just trained... Still, just imagine how much easier it would be with centipedes.
Load More Replies...She said yes and innocent animals had to die... probably their marriage will do so too
Like 2 days... Or maybe 1 hour... Probably the second option
Load More Replies...Research indicates that people who report having a strong sense of meaning in life are better able to cope with mentally and physically taxing experiences.
"Meaning can give people the inner strength they need to overcome many of life’s hurdles. Meaning motivates. It makes people want to productively move forward in life," Routledge says.
I don't want to sound overdramatic, but I hope you found your meaning. If not, let's keep searching. Whether it's a dumb image on the internet or something bigger.
Minimum wage worker in the US forced to work with no air conditioning. Understandable to me.
Or they were robbed, literally took the shirt off his back.

Once I saw a spider in the kitchen and I did parkour on chairs and stuff to get to the couch across the room from it so I didn't touch the ground it was on
Load More Replies...With all these pictures of cars and trucks randomly tossed in the air, I'm starting to think maybe superheroes VS villains street battles are a real thing.
Almost. You know how mining companies often go "out of business" after they've gotten all the ore out of the mine, leaving huge pile of tailings which pollute the land and water, and sticking taxpayers with the cost of the cleanup? Same thing with superhero and action movies. If the movie is a bust at the box office, they never go back and clean up the wrecked and scattered vehicles. All these cars and trucks slammed into buildings and swimming pools are the Hollywood version of a Superfund site.
Load More Replies...Is there a problem ocifer? This building just came out of nowhere and jumped under my car, honestly.
Idk why, but I got candy buttons vibes off this. Candy_Butt...c14930.jpg
Learned the hard way not to clean this type of mess up with hot water - they will poach.
no shells, and most of the yolks aren't broken, so seems to have been on purpose - or a huge bowl of shelled egg dropped from a low height
Restaurants buy in pre-cracked eggs, they come in a big bag, in a box, so probably bag or box was dropped or broken.
Load More Replies...There is a slug. I hope they didn't collect snails in the wild to eat them. That is an even nastier surprise waiting for them. Wild snails are full of parasites.

Although it is likely that they are drunk, the table is in a house, so it could also just be staged or something that they wanted to try.

This new method of interrogation, pioneered by the CIA, is by targeting the gag response of the subject. The gross level increases until the subject can take it no longer and spill their guts, literally.
Vending machines kill an average of 13 people per year. Treat them with more respect.
Was this at the University of Alabama where the elevator had a sign to not push buttons with genitalia, maybe the reason for the sign.
And people doubt the statistics that vending machines are deadlier than sharks.
"When I find out who glued my boots to the top of this vending machine--!"
That's how well trained our assassins' are here in the U.S. Impressive, terrifying as well.
OMG! The aliens are here. They're already taking the cows. Steaaaak!

I thought he was a Mango, Nothing rhymes with Orange.
Load More Replies...I can't believe the person who designed it thought it was a good design. PS I use that avatar on Steam!
Load More Replies...Because there was no chain and gears like a modern bike. A modern bike takes a large gear at the pedals down to a smaller gear at the wheel, making the wheel turn more than the pedals. A single pedal stroke produces multiple wheel rotations. The penny farthing is a direct drive (pedals attached to the wheel), so one pedal stroke equals one wheel rotation. In order to get the most efficient distance and power out of a pedal stroke, the wheel has to be huge (the larger the circumference of the wheel, the more distance it covers in a single rotation). The downside is starting the ride, since there is no way you can produce the starting torque just by pedaling while maintaining balance; you have to get a running start,then climb up the bike while it's rolling and get on the seat and pedals, hopefully without crashing.
Load More Replies...Just above the rear wheel, you can see a loop on the frame, like a "U" on its side. That's the step used to climb up on it as well as get off it. The bike must be in motion to get on or off it, otherwise it just falls over.
Load More Replies...I saw someone riding that type of bike the other day I was just like: 🤩
How do you get on and get off without falling and also stay balanced while moving
A rolling start, climb up the back of the bike, pedal for your life and don't stop until you get where you're going. You're basically sitting on top of the center of the big wheel, so it is surprisingly balanced and stable, once rolling... you just can't stop for things like red lights... or pedestrians... other vehicles... why the hell are these things still allowed on the road!?
Load More Replies...I get the idea they're going for, but they're literally giving him extra Corona, not a vaccine for it lol

When the economy sucks but then again you've got to basically learn to live with it
This is incredibly cute and I understand that case full of money :)
This would make me stop and listen and toss a few coins to the meowsicians.
Hey diddle diddle, it's the cat and the fiddle! She must be friends with the jumping cow, from the other picture!
I believe these are performers in Seattle called “Accordion Cat” - my sister is on vacation and sent me a photo of them!
Just read the post about which jobs are a waste and which ones are overlooked and got further than I did !
Judging by the amount of "new car scent" trees he has, I'm going to say it must be a very old car.
how bad does his car have to stink to need that many scented trees?
That's what happens when you routinely keep corpses or Taco Bell wrappers in your vehicle.
There's a long-running gag, to go down Splash Mountain (a ride that takes your picture as you go down the final big drop) or a similar ride while playing a game. So yeah, the splashes at the sides are clipart, because that's how the photos get printed.
