This Twitter Account Collects Images That Raise More Questions Than They Provide Answers, And Here Are 40 Of The Funniest Ones (New Pics)
Humans are wired to look for explanations. We grow up driving our parents insane with the question "Why?" and it stays with us when we become adults, too.
Only we give our old folks a break and turn to the internet whenever we need help to decipher the meaning of a symbol in a poem or understand the unexpected twist at the end of a sci-fi movie.
But the Twitter account 'Images That Require More Context' rejects our natural urge for meaning and instead offers the opposite. As the name suggests, it shares random pictures that raise more questions than they provide answers and shamelessly offers no descriptions.

You should never edit your own work. That really is a mistake of biblical proportions.
✨this is why✨🎵✨I'll never believe✨🎵✨in goddddddddd✨🎵. SING IT WITH ME NOW! ✨THIS IS WHY✨🎵✨ ILL NEVER BELIEVEEEEEE✨🎵✨INNNNNN GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD✨🎵 Thank you ladies and gentlemen, que the angry religious people:
I should state, before someone gets mad, that this is just my opinion if you couldn't already tell. Your free to voice your opinion, but don't take me down to your level please. I have nothing against any religion, I actually thing some of them are truly beautiful in many ways, as in Islam. I don't believe in God, I am an atheist if you would like to put a label on me. Have a good day.

Well given that this is not a photograph but a portrait, the artist took creative license.
When you get caught cheating and have to make up a whole new religion to cover it up.
The uneasiness we feel looking at some of these pictures is understandable. The world-renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, author of the classic bestseller, Man’s Search for Meaning, famously proposed that the search for meaning is our primary, intrinsic motivation.
Dr. Frankl also thinks that we don't really create meaning. Instead, we find it. (Even if we don't look for it.) That's largely because only the search for meaning holds the potential to bring the kind of authentic enrichment and fulfillment that most of us desire in our lives.
Self-centred is "British spelling". They are missing the hyphen though..

It's not spelled incorrectly. That is the British spelling of the word.

“I walked into Target, but I missed. I think the entrance to Target should have people splattered all around. And, when I finally get in, the guy says, "Can I help you?" "Just practicing."” — Mitch Hedberg
Damnit, missed the turn-in again! Co needs to move that sign back a bit 🤣
We can actually employ this in our everyday life. And it's not that hard. Alex Pattakos, Ph.D., who is the co-author of two books on the human quest for meaning, Prisoners of Our Thoughts and The OPA! Way, thinks that applying the concept is not about finding an answer to the big existential question, "what is the meaning of life”; rather, it is the search for meaning in your own life that is most important.
"Meaning comes in all shapes and sizes," Pattakos wrote. "Sometimes it looms big in our life; sometimes it slips in almost unobserved. In short, meaning is different for everyone—there is no one right answer—there is only the answer that is right for you."
First two people are grandparents; first daughter with 3 baby daddies, and the 4 kids she had, and then 2 pairs (must be either their sons or daughters or some combination) and their baby partners, with the kids they had. Love how the first daughter has 3 baby daddies! "I've got one for you, and one for you, and one for you!" LOL!
These are the people who make ever situation awkward by saying "We've been trying SO HARD for a baby!"
But the people who want to get a drink are on the right and people who want to get baptized are on the left
Little did they know Mormons, missionaries in particular, are as a rule beasts at board/card games. They dont drink, dont do drugs, don't party. Their saturday nights are game nights.
I saw a movie with a similar pretense once. Well, they didn't have to go out drinking. Well, in a way they did a little drinking.
Hahaaaa that's awesome. First time I've genuinely lol'd at something online in a while
Pretty weak punch from Saitama. That's more like 2003 TMNT's Utrom Shredder.
Load More Replies...A U.S. Army veteran with expertise in political science, psychology, and existential philosophy, Pattakos believes that we cannot answer the bigger questions about meaning in our life unless we discover answers to the smaller ones, such as "What are we doing?" "Why are we doing it?" "What do our lives mean to us?" "What does our work mean?"
"Every day our lives are rich with meaningful answers, but only if we stop long enough to appreciate meaning will it bloom in our lives," he said.
"By reflecting upon our existence and seeking to detect the meaning of life’s moments, we also create the opportunity to draft our personal legacy. In other words, how do we want to be remembered?"
Pfft.. if you had taken care of them better, you could get a smartwatch for them..
Load More Replies...the person understood the sign as a trading deal, in other words: bring a child we'll give you a watch and the fact he is holding a watch and upon the previous basis we can estimate that he brought a child for a watch, which is...creepy anyways hope that helps :)

he Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City and is considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper.
So basically, it’s up to us to detect the meaning of the experiences we have each day. Interestingly, these scholars believe meaning can be found even when we do not get to be happy. Dr. Frankl was convinced that, in the final analysis, there is no situation that does not contain within it the seed of a meaning.
"Meaning comes with being 'who' we are in this world. When you believe something is meaningful, it is because it resonates with your true nature or core essence. When you believe something lacks meaning or is meaningless, it is because it does not resonate with your true nature or core essence," Pattakos said. "In a metaphysical way, your life involves the continual search for a closer connection to your true nature or core essence, throughout each day and over the course of your entire life."
I’m glad someone was on the same wave length as me!!
Load More Replies...This was actually a really mean prank on teenager who has a legitimate phobia of lobsters. I don't think it's funny.
The quest to discover and embrace our core essence is a big challenge because when you think about it, many people focus on what type of job or career they think they should have, where they should live, or with whom they should have relationships but, in the words of Pattakos, "a truly meaningful life starts from, remains engaged with, and ultimately returns to one’s core essence—awakening our true selves by connecting to whom we really are."
He's not. It's just a bunch of viruses moving a body around.

Actually, it's pretty good. :) It's just the dog has an unnatural position is all.
Load More Replies...I think it’s photoshopped I see a very thin outline (I know how to photoshop and edit pics so I know what it is) under the dog
"Fundamentally, we believe that meaning should be at the core of all that we do, each day. In order to live a complete life, we must understand what brings us meaning in/to our lives and what drains meaning from our lives," Pattakos said. "When we know this, all things become clearer. We come to know and feel more confident in our decisions and direction, and we also notice more energy flowing to and through us to others. In other words, we are no longer working against the flow of who we really are."
The girl I'm going to marry knows that my BFH is the best tool in my toolbox. Maybe she just wants to buy me another hammer. Or she wants to use it on me if I screw up Valentine's romantic plans...
I'm not sure thats quite the surprise they're looking for but, yep, that'll do it!
Reminds me of UHF. "And what better way to say 'I love you' than with the gift of a spatula?"
If you have adequate information to disprove evolution, submit it the appropriate scientific councils, and earn your Nobel Prize!
Exactly! The burden of proof is on the person making the claim.
Load More Replies...Imagine being so intelligent, so well read and having constructed a watertight case in order to debunk all of theories behind evolution and then wasting all that hard work by only being able to print a sign and stand on a stool with it. He was so close to changing the whole way that we look at our evolution but he fell before he got all of the information to us.
Not explicitly. Likely because the Bible as we know it predates the theory of evolution by quite a bit. However, I think it's worth noting that at first, Darwin made clear that he believed the theory could coexist with religion. Darwin was a deeply religious man at the start of his career, though I think that changed as time went on.
Load More Replies...Weird thing, you got evangelical nutcases in the US not believing in evolution, despite catholic and protestant Church is accepting it.
Evangelicals are protestant, but your point stands
Load More Replies...Oh boy. "Lie" is such a loaded word. That would suggest a concerted effort to knowingly deceive people, on a huge global scale, and for over a hundred years. Who would even have the motivation for that, much less the resources?
At the end of the day, finding meaning in everyday life is an ongoing process, and demands a lot of time and effort. So if you want to have a little more practice with smaller stakes, take a look at our older publications on 'Images That Require More Context' here and here, and try to figure out how these silly pictures came to be!
Yes but I suggest digging beside it and then dig in that direction that’s what I always do

This is pretty self-explanatory to me. We had one of those mats that turned your bath into a spa and you only put in the tiniest drop of bubble mix and you could get this.
This once happened at my grandmother's house. Those foam features are fun until you lose track of the button that controls them. Trust me.

I think Amazon gives you more freedom. You can work there while crying, no problem.

A friend works in organ donation. There’s a job opening there for talking to and walking bereaved families through the donation process. It pays 6 figures, but yes, you’re also required to either grow a heart of steel or rip it out all together. Rarely anyone in that position lasts more than 2 years. I can totally see this sign being in their office.
I had one co-worker who upset her son at supper when she told him she had cried at work that day. The kicker was when she said she wasn't the only one that cried that day.
Not until I get that time of the month off, I cannot predict what will make me cry during that time..period...pun intended😘
Cry at home or in your car. When you are at work, suck it up and do your job. If the job is the reason you cry, get a new one.
Look how smug the dude on the right is, he know it’s the size of your loaf that count.
He may do that, as well. There are some weird people out there. Like you, dear reader.

Someone did this at our school, and the poor cleaning lady had to go into the bathroom and get the poop out of the urinal. The worst part is that the kid came back and did it again the next day!
