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.

Catholics vs. Seedless Watermelons
looks like seedless watermelons are a bigger community than I would expect, catholics beware
Of course there are more seedless watermelons, but they have shorter lives spans, less political influence, wealth and education. They might have more supporters among the general world population, though.

the internet is such a lovely place... it's a place where watermelons have more likes than catholics
Well duh - everyone loves Watermelons, while there're some very strong points against Catholics here and there.

If I had to choose between fighting for catholics or watermelons... I would fight for watermelons
Same.....and I am Catholic. Lapsed nowadays though. All religion does is cause war.

Am I wrong to assume that seedless watermelons, as seedless grapes, don't allow us to plant/grow them again, therefore enabling a supply monopoly? I'm sorry for the ugly phrasing, I'm on my work break, my brain is mush
As long as there is such a thing as seeded watermelon. There should be no worries. Much like the silly argument of gay people not being able to reproduce. Well yeah, but straight people still exist and do. So that argument, much like being homophobic is ignorant and that's that.

Why...? The very dubious connection to something resembling a suggestion of birth control?
This is the explanation I found when I googled to find the answer to Why? On July 23rd, 2012, the Catholics Against Seedless Watermelons Facebook page was launched, which describes itself as a "unification against seedless watermelons, a tasteless representation of abortion, birth control, and genetic modification". On May 17th, 2016, the Seedless Watermelons Against Catholics page was created, which contains the mission statement "If Catholics are allowed to hate on us, we as seedless watermelons shall fight back" on the About page.
I hate seedless watermelons! It’s so hard to fins ones with seeds now.
Why is there a need to fight everything??? Worry about the big stuff, and let the little things go!!
Seedless watermelons are sterile. Catholics are against sex without reproduction. The watermelons just want to have fun, seed or no seed. It all makes sense.
Yes, but Catholics also have a problem will spilling seed upon the ground..just ask Onan.

I'm pretty sure atheists have a much larger following than most people realize... had no idea we had watermelons on our side!
How do they know the watermelons are seedless? I bought a seedless watermelon and it was a regular watermelon with seeds? It was just a more expensive watermelon?
Fun fact: The Catholics Against Seedless Watermelons was created in 2012. They were created because they thought that seedless melons represented birth control. Then, some dudes stumbled across this in 2016 and thought it'd be cool to create the Seedless Watermelons Against Catholics. Now, this war was birthed.
reminds me of the no nukes/no cows buttons from the 70s. No-Nukes-N...c9171.jpeg 
Hahahahaha I love how spiteful the seedless watermelons are
I need to know, as one who grew up Catholic what is sinful about seedless watermelon.
what do Catholics have against seedless watermelon? ... Because swallowing the seeds of watermelons is the only way to get pregnant without sin. To sum it up the whole thing is basically a joke the pages and the seedless watermelon jist I just gave you but if you want to see I heard these pages are Facebook groups so go look it up

Also Catholics: We are a unification against trans people, gay people, women, black people, etc.
“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.”

Are we sure this isn't paid sponsorship or something? Because I've already bought one item off it and am considering others.
I believe some entries on this post have been removed and replaced with new ones. I remember commenting on one of the entries. I just want to add additional info to that comment. It's gone now. The whole entries, including my comment and others that responded. The missing entries : (1) the bulletproof backpack and (2)the Veritassium took 3 hours to recite the prime numbers.
