Ambiguity is inevitable. So when people run into it in everyday life, they often rely on their own assumptions, prior experience, or personal biases to fill in the gaps.

Found an anonymous "Thank You" note on the fridge? It's probably your partner expressing gratitude for the lunch you prepped them and not the ghost living under the bed. Noticed an abandoned umbrella in the park? Probably some absent-minded romantic left it there, and not Mary Poppins.

But too few cues can lead to confusion, a notion that the Facebook group 'Please, may I have a Crumb of Context?' successfully illustrates again and again, as its members share random pictures that raise more questions than they provide answers.

They tried to buy eggs and flour under the age of 18, and now the police are quacking down on antisocial behaviour.

Misconstrued reference to an 80's anti-drug ad, in an attempt to be sarcastic.

This is (or was, I was last there over a decade ago) from the children's science museum in Los Angeles within walking distance of USC, the one they got in partnership with the natural history museum nearby.

If it were real the, paint would not have had time to dry before someone lifted the lever.

So many times I’ve been tempted. Where can I find this bar? It sounds so much easier than global thermo nuclear war.

Seems to me Australia could use a few mass extinctions. Can you tune that lever to, say, rabbits?

This isn't strange, it seems like it's in a museum or a kids education center 👍

I think it's a museum exhibit on the dinosaurs' extinction.

"Tomber dans les pommes" which translates from French into English as "falling in the apples"....basically it means to faint :) I think this bird is demonstrating that 😂

Per Ozzy Osbourne, I thought it was "You gotta hear this f****** guy!" He was referring to a 9 y.o. Japanese kid play the guitar on Crazy Train.
