There are horrors out there that most of us can barely imagine - things that should not be and injustices that should never have happened. The pics on this mildly unsettling list, then, serve as just the teeniest tiniest tip of that iceberg of horror.
Some of these pics made our skin crawl, while others made us feel just mildly annoyed and uncomfortable. They upend our expectations of how the world should work and how people should behave in it. Ick!

One is the concept of the uncanny valley. Humans tend to have a well-documented discomfort with any image that makes a credible but failed attempt at appearing human. Highly abstracted imitations of human faces like emojis or cartoon characters are fine, but androids, poorly animated 3D visages, and people wearing rubber masks can all make us feel creeped out.

Another commonly cited example, only one of many visible phobias, is trypophobia. This is a fear of or discomfort with patterns of closely grouped holes.

I use a similar method to store up to 300 paperbacks per shelf. Depends on the purpose of your bookcase. It's either a decorative object or in use because you read. If it is because you read, and you are like me, getting as many books on a shelf as possible. I do go to libraries. It is just that I tend to read everything I am interested in that is available in less than a year. And I have several authors where it is a point to own every book they have done. If they are a series writer, I will want to have all the books in any series I like. A couple of authors have multiple series going at the same time, and they have at least one story arc each that has 20 or more books in it. My version of OCD is that any time I have new books in a series, I have to reread the series, every book in order, to get to the new ones. I have two new books in one series of four where I can't read the new ones because I have not found the first two since I moved.

This Electrical Pole Is Being Held Together By Duct Tape

This comment has been brought to you by Flex Tape
Load More Replies... 
Saint Tim the Godless 2 years ago
The pole has been decommissioned and condemned (white X spray paint). The new one is to the left - you can see the fresh dirt - and the hardware at the top has likely been transferred to the replacement. When they installed the new pole, an engineer would have structurally assessed the stub, and didn't consider this one an emergency. A field worker made a stupid mistake with the duct tape, but the pole isn't carrying any mechanical load and could probably stay like this for months. The only way this would sit more than 2 weeks is if there was just a big storm and they have a couple hundred of these to chop off at the ground.

I do not trust that peanut butter. That peanut butter has plans for me that I'm not privy to.
Taibhse Sealgair 2 years ago
Most likely in an Amish grocery store. They typically don't have complicated packing and are usually made from scratch. In this case they probably bought sacks of peanuts and made a big batch in back. So environmentally (with the exception of the styro) it's pretty low footprint. Also fresh and w/o artificial ingredients or preservatives.
B-flat 2 years ago
Pure peanut butter w/o artificial ingredients does not look like this. It splits and forms a layer of oil on the top. You have to stir it again everytime you use it. So you can not sell it like this.

If they are attached to the plant (not walking around), it's probably scale insects. If moving around, probably aphids, since they are green. There are a number of general insecticides that will eradicate both, but a little Ivory liquid and water will usually get rid of them, if not heavily infested. The detergent damages their hard shells and they can't survive.
