    I Bought Bracelet With 15 Gems And 15 Turtles For $5 In Canada

    Bracelet with turtle-shaped beads on wrist, showing a real-life glitch with a bead detached from the simulation pattern.

    I've worn it 24/7, never take it off even when I sleep. Now I found the same bead on my floor, thought "oh no, my bracelet broke" but nope, it's perfectly fine, no crack or hole whatsoever. No one could drop this bead. It must be aliens.

    Two feet wearing mismatched slippers and a third identical slipper placed on the wooden floor showing a real-life glitch.

    Had the same amount of wear. I was floored, I had to sit down at the absurdity of it. I hesitated sharing, no one will believe. Promise you this is true. I can't understand.

    Hey Guys! I've Been Meaning To Post My Glitch In The Matrix For Awhile And Finally Have Gotten To It

    Two images showing real-life glitches: clear dice with misaligned pips and a distorted vintage photo on heart-shaped material.

    So, when I was a kid, maybe elementary school age my brother had these glass dice in his room. I remember playing with them all the time, and taking the insides apart. It has 2 foam pieces as well as the white cloth and 2 dice. It can all come apart. They ended up into my possession eventually as time went on. In March of this year, I was moving from my apartment. I had the glass dice displayed on my bakers rack. While packing, I decided to open them, and what did I find? A piece of paper with a man and a child, in a heart shape. I was confused, of course. This had never been there before. I sent the picture to my mom and my dad, and they have no idea who these people are or where it could have come from. I have been living on my own, so no weird roommates that could have done this. My brother didn't do it. And i definitely didn't do it. Who are these people?? This whole thing is bizarre. I keep the portrait where I found it and show people when they come to my house.

    I’m Bewildered And Confused

    Two red fabric objects with black clips on a textured gray surface showing a real-life glitch simulation moment.

    Years ago at my old work, a brand rep brought collapsible/travel dog water bowls as gifts for our staff. It was a big stink because they only brought 6 and we had 8 staff members (vet industry). At first I surrendered mine so it was fair for everyone else but at the end of the day we had found a 7th that had rolled out of the bag under some stuff. I was elated as the 8th staff member didn’t have a pet so I took the bowl, and have used it frequently during hikes and kayaks with my dog. I was in my pet supply closet preparing dinner tonight and I happened to glance up at the rack that holds the leashes and potty bag holders and sll that, where my collapsible bowl hangs. Only this time, there was a second one, right beside it and folded literally exactly the same as mine, to the point I cannot tell which is the original. Also both appear well used but I know I only had one of these before tonight. I know it, without a shadow of a single doubt. Fully believing in alternate dimensions right now because what the actual hell

    I Was Gifted A Ring At Christmas From My Momma

    Two silver rings in a box displaying a real-life glitch with duplicated text confirming simulation glitches.

    2 days after having it, I lost it. I searched my entire house, top to bottom. My husband helped and everything. I was really sad about it, and obviously couldn't tell her I lost the ring. So, I ordered a new one and pretended it was the one she gave me. This morning ... I'm in my bathroom and I look, and it's just sitting on the counter beside the sink. I've cleaned that counter many times and my husband and I BOTH know it was NOT there. The same thing happened to him a few years ago. His was found on the same bathroom countertop. Anyway, here's the photo of both of my rings

    My Brain Is Going To Break... Or I'm About To Open A Black Hole?

    Two nearly identical backgammon sets side by side, illustrating a real-life glitch that suggests a simulation.

    When I was a kid, my dad had this awesome game he never let me play, so of course I was totally obsessed with it. Fast forward 30 years, I helped my parents move back to Ohio from Florida. He let me have the game and I intended to learn to play, but he got sick and I never did. My mom and I cared for him until he passed away earlier this month. I'm cleaning out their condo and last night I found the backgammon game in his closet. I knew I remembered taking the game home years earlier... and I was right. Found it in the spare bedroom at my house. I checked with my mom and she confirmed he only ever had one. They're almost identical, with the exception of the stitching and wear and tear.
    Where did it come from?! Were these games common and did anyone else have them?

    It’s Very Bizarre

    Hand holding two pairs of black sunglasses showing real-life glitches that confirm simulation theory.

    One day this summer I was looking for my favorite sunglasses, thought I left them at my boyfriends house. He looked for them everywhere, cleaned his room multiple times, nowhere to be found. Some time after, my mom found them on a trash can infront of our house. I was puzzled as to how they could’ve ended up there but I just thought that I must’ve lost them infront of our house and someone found them and put them on the trashcan. Well a few months later I am at my boyfriends house and he goes “Oh by the way I found your sunglasses that you were looking for the other day”. I now have two completely identical sunglasses, the only thing that differs is their tint when you look through them. Bought the original ones at a thrift shop and they’re not branded

    Yuck! People who wear filthy glasses drive me crazy! Insteada concentrating on them, I’m sidetracked by their glasses, wondering whether they can see through them and why they don’t keep ‘em clean. I get a single spot on my glasses and I’m washing ‘em. And if they accumulate something that can’t be cleaned off, I get new ones. How do people do it? How can they see with all the schmutz?

    I was ill, asked hubby to get me something for my throat, he bought me a pack of throat lozenges (1 pack). I took 3 over the course of the afternoon. Needed another later and went to the drawer where I had put them to find this....... Glitch in the Matrix. He had only bought 1 packet, I had taken 3.
