Things That Actually Happened, And Yes, We’re Confused Too

Sometimes the world is just really weird and we have no idea what's going on. It's in these moments when we witness something that really makes us stop and think that we gain some perspective. Like when someone makes "feetloaf" instead of meatloaf, we realize we're probably never going to make that dish again.

Here are some photos of things that truly, actually happened even though every fiber of our collective beings wish that they wouldn't have. I'm sure the feetloaf tastes delicious but I sincerely wish it didn't exist.

I just have a couple of questions about this sandwich meat: is it Monster flavored? Or do they give the pigs Monster before butchering them? Or is the ham marinated in the energy drink? Anyway, it's prepared, so some guy named Kyle is definitely buying this at a gas station as we speak.

Rules, laws, and signs only exist because someone has done something before. So going by that logic, this toilet once hosted a men's freestyle diving competition. The facility owners probably made that sign because they were sour that their favorite diver didn't win.
