Absurd humor is quite amazing. Comedy in general is all about subverting expectations, but absurd humor takes it to the next level. It’s random, unexpected and, often, brilliant. Not necessarily sophisticated, but certainly intriguing and makes you question things.
The following pictures are a great example of visual absurdity. They’ve been hand-picked from the Out Of Context 2.0 Facebook group with over 145,500 members and they’re simply hilarious. These pictures make no sense whatsoever and that’s why we love them. Scroll down to enjoy!

Learning is better. Wtf. Seriously. Demise of a nation only takes 30-40 years like he said. Being smart is cool as f***

honestly humans and mostly children are naturally inclined to learn, so if a place specifically dedicated to learning is being rejected by the naturally curious, then isn't it safe to assume that something is wrong?
The sad thing is that not all out-of-context photographs are as innocent and fun as the ones on this list. In fact, sadly, using pictures that are taken out of its original context is a common misinformation practice. Sure, AI and computer manipulated images are also a threat to truth, but we shouldn’t underestimate the power of text that’s presented with an image.
Studies have shown that when we’re presented with a false fact, we are more likely to believe it if it is shown to us next to an image. Pair that with another finding that claims that we tend to falsely remember headlines based on pictures, and you’ll have a dynamite of a combination for misinformation.
awww I’d probably keep it. maybe it’d be harder to drive though

Load More Replies...You see, photography itself can be seen as a misleading medium. Photos give us an illusion of truthfulness. That is because we know that the events pictured have to have taken place in order for the photographer to capture it. So, once we see a picture, we take it as an objective representation of reality. However, that is not always the case.
Photography is all about correct framing and lighting. It is about choosing what to leave in the frame and what to ignore, what to highlight and what to leave in the background. Add to that the fact that each of us use our own lens to interpret a photo and you’ll see that objectivity is nowhere to be found. As Alan Trachtenberg once put it, “Neither photographs nor the experience of them are innocent acts.”
That's one way to check if your pasta is perfectly al dente! No way that's possibly with pasta that's too hard or too soggy!
The surprise was that none of the orchestra noticed any difference.
I was just wondering a few days ago how one becomes a conductor much less a highly requested one
I never understood why a conductor gets so much adoration... the musicians know what to play. Are you telling me they wouldn't know what to play without the man standing there, waving a Baton around?
Having played in a (small) orchestra, I can say that the conductor makes a huge difference. Given the same orchestra, same sheet music, and play the piece with two different conductors, each rendition of the piece would sound completely different.
Load More Replies...This reminds me of something Victor Borge might have done!- am I the only one who would LOVE to hear an orchestra that actually followed a conductor like this!? It seems like it would be chaotic in the BEST possible way!
Y'all saying it wouldn't sound different... Orchestra and choir must have a huge difference when it comes to conductors, because this would sound horrible in a choir 😂
Over the years, there have been plenty of instances when people tried to recontextualize images for a variety of different reasons. For example, one can do it to emphasize the correctness of a political stance, like Turning Point USA, an American conservative group, once did.
I get what they were trying to do, but it just doesn't work and looks awkward.
Maybe it would work better if the top triangle was built flush with the ceiling? It seems odd with the door closed but the ceiling piece ajar.

I was thinking Greece, not just because of the blue and white, but also the limestone, vegetation and the people drinking frappés/freddo coffee. Could be wrong though!
Load More Replies...Using old images and videos with new captions is also often used in war-related matters. For example, when Russia attacked Ukraine back in 2022, a lot of images and videos surfaced showing bombings that weren’t actually happening there at the time. This was further escalated by Russian state media that actively spread disinformation about Ukrainian aggression.

Similarly, the Israel-Gaza conflict has a lot of miscaptions and reframing going on. This ranges from the battlefield to the reactions to the war all over the globe. People manipulate the size of protesting crowds and the chants they’re singing. They change media headlines and misattributes quotes of celebrities. In other words, misinformation is rampant.
Could they make this anymore Fake looking? I mean, the point of Photoshopping pictures is to make them Look Real.
He's still thinking "No, no, don't call anyone, I can get it out" and talking to everyone who tries to help like *they're* the idiots in this scenario.
The air intake is above the water line, so the engine should be OK.
Of course, when it comes to such painful matters as war, misinformation should be expected. After all, there are powers that benefit from the emotional reactions people express on social media. But misinformation and miscaptioning even happens in images that have no real consequence.

Once you fell down those stairs you'll need a toilet for the disabled, even if you weren't disabled before?
The signs designate this stairwell as an "area of rescue assistance" where people unable to evacuate the building on their own can go. First responders to an emergency will know to check this designated area and assist anyone found there. When I worked in a unviersity library, one interior stairwell had oversize landings that were the area of rescue assistance where someone in a wheelchair would be carried down the stairs in the event a fire were to disable the elevators.

Judging by the hose adapter on the left, they don't want people taking it off to drink water and instead put a second nozzle there to allow people to drink from it, and it seems to work.
The "drinking water" tap is used more judging by the wet marks on the walls.
It's because the tap on the right is a quick connect for a hose, etc. There aren't any non-potable water signs.
