The moment that you think you’ve got life all figured out, the universe throws you a curveball. Possibly in the form of an interesting opportunity, but (if we’re completely honest) most likely in the shape of a funny or surprising picture that makes you snort into your cup of tea. You see, despite all of humanity’s flaws, people are actually very creative and come up with some extremely bizarre things.
One place that documents the funny, creative, and sometimes plain downright weird things that humanity has done is the ‘Of Course That’s a Thing’ subreddit. A community of just over 723k people, r/ofcoursethatsathing does exactly what it says on the tin: it invites people to share pictures of things that make you think, “Of course that’s a thing.”
It’s more a feeling than a phrase, and you’ll find the very best examples of just how peculiar a world we really live in below. Remember to upvote the pics that made you go “what?” and be sure to share this list with your friends. You and I both know that they’ll enjoy some of these images! Personally, as a huge D&D nerd, I’m a big fan of the bread alignment chart, but be sure to let everyone know which one’s your #1 pic.

Creativity is an intrinsic part of being human. It might not always produce something that’s objectively good in aesthetic terms, but it’s still one of the things that drive us forward. Beauty, after all, is in the eye of the beholder (even if that beholder should really read up a bit more on what’s actually stylish).
National Geographic spoke to Agustín Fuentes, the author of ‘The Creative Spark: How Imagination Made Humans Exceptional,’ about art and its relationship to our evolution.

“We tend to think of these beautiful cave paintings of the big mastodons and wild oryx as art. But that’s only about 40,000 years old. We know that 85,000 years ago, in southern Africa, our ancestors were carving on ostrich eggshells. Twenty thousand years earlier than that, they were drilling holes in small shells and wearing them around their necks,” Fuentes told National Geographic.

“One hundred thousand years before that, they were crumbling ochre and rubbing it on their bodies. Five hundred thousand years before that, half a million years ago, they were making tools that were incredibly beautiful and more symmetrical and aesthetic than they had to be to do their jobs. Art is very deep in human history,” Fuentes explained that art is fundamentally a part of who we are. Then and now.

The ‘Of Course That’s a Thing’ subreddit has been around since 2013, so you know for a fact that its content is something that captures people’s attention. No doubt, sometimes, because the pictures are very errr imaginative. Otherwise, without this quality content, the subreddit wouldn’t have survived and thrived for so long. The community will also be celebrating its eighth birthday in a couple of weeks. So, if you like their stuff, think about joining the subreddit or just popping in with a quick, ‘Hi, congrats.’
I Need This Lazy Susan Fridge!
The first time I saw this I thought it was stupid, but after feeling awful for having to throw away food because I just didn't see it way back in the fridge... I kind of want one. Plus I'm a klutz and always knock stuff over when trying to grab something in the fridge.

Before joining the subreddit, though, there are a few rules that you have to be aware of. They’re all common sense things anyway, so they shouldn’t be a problem for anyone who isn’t an internet troll or a massive bigot. Obviously, there’s no place for racism, sexism, or bigotry on the r/ofcoursethatsathing subreddit.

What’s more, the subreddit moderators ask their members not to post any memes or image macros and to avoid self-promotion posts. Furthermore, all members should strive to be polite and void rudeness. “Everybody has a line; if you feel yours was crossed, this is your report option,” the moderators explain. And that’s how you keep an online community wholesome and healthy. All so that people can keep on saying, “Of course that’s a thing.”

Because God Forbid Your Cat’s Butthole Is Exposed!
I didn't go that far because I was thinking the mess trying to put that on a cat's butt!😅😅😅good luck with that and say goodbye to your skin!

I have had cats my whole life, and can tell you with authority that this will never work. Cats hate having anything on their tails, and the location of this idiotic thing is right where they sit down. How long do you honestly think it will stay there? Hint: You’ll have to measure the time in milliseconds. The cat will lose this almost immediately after their deluded owner puts it on, either by burying it under the s**t in the litter box, or hiding it somewhere it will never be found, like where they’ve hidden all your hair ties or bottle caps. If it’s the rare cat who doesn’t shrug it right off—-or bet another cat to pull it off for them—-right away, then it’ll end up as butt jewelry for you to clean the cat s**t off of. The solution is to just not waste your money on this bullshit.
I ha e trouble giving a cat it’s medicine. Cant even imagine trying to get a plug up ones ass 😅

I can't believe a cat would tolerate this. Plus smelling butts is an important identifying tool for cats, if the butt smell changes ( like after a bath or in this case with a butt medallion) it can cause cats to fight
How does a medallion alter the cat's scent? Does your perfume smell different when you wear a necklace?

Say asshole so it won’t be censored. I’m pretty sure boredpanda’s censoring guidelines were written by 9 year old giggling girls who’ve never actually heard a real bad word.

A friend's mum had a cat that would have preferred the latter I think 😅 She always felt a bit embarrassed at the vet as when the vet took the cats temperature, the cat not only didn't fight it would purr loudly, clearly enjoying himself (the cat, not the vet)
Oh me, poor lady. That's a cringeworthy cat for certain.

It's a relief to know it hangs off the tail but it is still weird as f**k.
Hahaha this is GREAT!! Except, when they need to poop or clean their butts!
My cats went totally berserk when I tried to introduce them to collars--I can only imagine the mayhem from a butt plug.
Like there's already not enough stupid sh*t to spend your money on...
I'm glad I actually read how they work and that it's not a jeweled b******g for cats. Let the humans keep those 😂
I am certain that a) would annoy the heck out of the cat, b) be constantly dirty and stinky, and c) probably prevent the cat from properly cleaning itself.
can you imagine how disgusting that would end up getting? It's not like the cat is going to take it off or move it when they use the litter box.
That, kind of looks worse. Like the cat's wearing a bling bling buttpIug.
I put in a suppository once, bent down to pull up my trousers, forgot myself, farted and shot the poor cat!!
I have always heard "like a diamond on a goats butt" now we have a"jewel on a cats butt"
ok - i read its not a plug .. it is a little bit more ok

This started off as a parody comedy skit. I dont recall if was maybe MTV or SNL, but i remember seeing it years ago. Not an actual item, unless someone decided to make it since then
I had a black cat and he had the whitest b******e and he kept that thing clean! He was always sticking it in my face so I knew lol!
How to identify crazy people: They think a cat's b******e is too offensive to be seen.
I'm sure it turns pretty gross as soon as your cat goes to the litter box.
At least I'm not the only one who thought it was a butt plug at first glance.

Are we sure this isn't paid sponsorship or something? Because I've already bought one item off it and am considering others.
