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.

Anyone care to calculate how many s**t particles there are per square centimeter of fruit?

"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 😂

Its called an "Experience Tube" and I think its a joke/art product. you can buy one on their website. its described as an analogue device that connects human interfaces together using facial recognition (installed in human brains) and replaces peripheral distraction with stripes and laughter. You're meant to put it on, stretch it out so you can see the other person and have a distraction free conversation with them.

I very much prefer to connect my (inter)face directly to my wife's (inter)face in a process known as "kissing".

I think it's the ppl with prayer hands. Before I read the comments I was convinced this was a religious cult with very strict gender segregation, and this was sone stupid new way to feel close to a date without actually being close.. I was still trying to figure out the yoga mats when I gave up and read the comments. Now I can't re-see the cult..

You know how some kids would peek through a cardboard paper towel roll? Those kids grew up to become these people.

Somebody was playing games while high and turned it into a new age thing that's supposedly helpful in some way?

I've long suspected that many yoga poses are strictly for the instructors' amusement.

When they've told enough lies, their noses fill the covers. First one to the other end gets a seat in Congress.

A lot of people tried to put their heads through the sleeve in this photo. Stop shaming guys. It happens to all of us at some point in our lives.

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.
