Life’s Little Coincidences Have Us Questioning Everything
We're willing to accept that sometimes coincidences happen, but seeing all of these strange occurrences all together in one place has us questioning everything we know about reality. It almost seems like we're witnessing a glitch in the Matrix.
Keep reading to see some strange moments captured on camera. You might just leave this article with some questions about your own place in the world. These pictures are unlike anything else we've ever seen in reality.
In Another Life
What are the chances that there would be two identical cars parked next to each other with identical dogs inside those cars? Something just doesn't seem right here.
Could this just be a coincidence?
When Lightning Strikes
This tree was struck by lightning and the force of the electric shock stripped the tree of all of its bark.
It looks like it's been peeled like a banana.
A Floating Trash Can
Okay, so this trash can isn't actually floating. It's sitting firmly on the ground next to a puddle of water that kind of looks like its shadow.
That "shadow" placement is pretty coincidental, though.
The Same Rug
This guy was minding his own business playing his video game when he noticed that the house on his game had the exact same rug that he had in his living room.
What are the odds of that happening?
Long-Lost Twins
Okay, so these guys aren't really long-lost twins, but what are the chances of there being two guys wearing identical outfits sitting next to each other on a subway train?
Assuming they shop at the same store, you would still figure they'd pick slightly different outfits.
It Lines Up Perfectly
The wood pattern on this phone case lines up perfectly with the wood grain on this table.
It's almost like these two objects were made for each other. Cue Twilight Zone music...
What Mandela Effect?
There has been much debate on the internet about whether it's the "Berenstein Bears" or the "Berenstain Bears."
This VHS tape seems to be proof of the Mandela Effect once and for all.
Off To The Side
This apple stem isn't quite where it should be. Normally, these stems go in the middle of the top of the apple.
We're not sure what nature thought it was doing in this case.
Joined At The Tail
It looks like these two dogs are joined at the tail. In reality, this German shepherd just has the same coloring as this little Yorkie.
It only looks like they're attached to each other.
Right Through The Front
Somehow, this car drove right into a giant tree branch, and the branch went right through the hood of the car.
At least it didn't puncture the windshield or hurt the driver.
This Watch Stopped A Bullet
Back in 1914, a soldier had this watch in his front pocket during battle. He got shot in the chest, but this watch stopped the bullet.
The bullet is still embedded in the watch to this day.
Identical Cats
This person lost his cat, then he thought that he found his cat, but then his actual cat came home, so now he has two of the same cat.
What is happening here?
That Band-Aid Placement, Though
This guy got a shot in his arm, and so did his angel tattoo.
We have to believe that his doctor chose that placement for a reason. This can't just be a coincidence.
A Straight Line Of Clouds
This cloud formation is making us question the nature of our reality. It looks like the computer program that makes our sky forgot to enable the randomize feature.
How is this even possible?
Copy And Paste
What are the chances of at least seven blonde women wearing tan-colored jackets being seated directly in front of each other on a city bus?
It just doesn't seem very natural to me.
The Void Flavor
So, is this flavor called "void" and it's just not in stock right now, or is this sign just supposed to mean that this container is empty for the time being?
Maybe it's just a bespoke flavor that is so dark it looks empty? Nah...
Reflection Issues
Why is this girl's facial expression different in her reflection? Something doesn't seem quite right here.
It's probably just a camera shutter speed problem, but it could also be proof of the Matrix...
A Very Precise Tree Line
Do you think that the trees in this area grow this way naturally, or do you think that someone climbs a really tall ladder every so often to get the trees looking this precise?
Either way, it's a neat effect and just proves there's always something out there to discover.
So Many Jean Jackets
It looks like all of these girls know each other and that they all got the jean jacket and black pants memo today.
What are the chances that this happened accidentally?
Blurring Into The Background
It looks like this guy is missing part of his leg.
In reality, his sock is just the same color as the floor and it's causing all of our brains to glitch out.
Embedded In A Tree Trunk
This tree got hit by a golf ball a long time ago. The golf ball got embedded in the tree, and then the tree started growing around the ball.
This ball must have been inside this tree for decades.
What Chair?
It's pretty crazy that this guy happened to wear a blue spotted shirt at a wedding where all of the chairs had blue spotted fabric on them.
There's no way that he could have known that this shirt would be a fashion faux pas.
Two Of The Same
These two guys standing in line at a convenience store are wearing the exact same outfit.
The guy in front has some pretty long white socks that the guy in the back doesn't have, but otherwise, they look pretty identical.
Right Through The Front
This car drove into a tree branch and the branch impaled the car straight through to the tire.
It's a good thing that nobody was hurt. This could have been disastrous.
You'll Never Look At Raspberries The Same Way Again
This person found a bee in a place where a bee shouldn't be.
You definitely don't want to be popping raspberries in your mouth without checking to see if there are any bugs inside.
Half Loaded
It looks like this tree didn't finish loading. Where is all of the rest of its bark?
There's such a clean break where the bark ends that it almost looks like somebody did this on purpose.
Flying Saws
A little piece of a saw flew out of someone else's car and affixed itself to the front grill of this white car.
It's a good thing that it didn't hit a pedestrian.
Strange Stripes
Zebras are supposed to have stripes, right? Well, we've never seen stripes quite like these before.
They look more like spots, I'd say. This zebra is definitely one of a kind.
Rainbow Cat
This cat looks like he's channeling some sort of magical powers. All of the rainbows in the world are attracted to his divine presence.
We always knew that cats were magical.
Sitting Together
These two people aren't actually sitting together.
The woman in the tan-colored shirt is just being reflected in the plastic divider so it looks like these two are having an intense conversation.
Three Is The Magic number
Three cars of the same make, model, and color parked in front of a building with the same color.
Except, the color itself is a unique mustard color that we didn't even know you could get a car in.
A Quick Game Of Peekaboo
If you've ever been around a toddler or been a toddler yourself (as we all have), then you must have at some point played a game of peekaboo.
The game basically consists of hiding in plain sight. This car nailed it.
Best Friends Before Birth
"I got married last month. My wife and I thought we met for the first time in our twenties. We found out a few years later our mothers were best friends in high school.
"This photo was displayed at our wedding showing our actual first-time meeting."
It's In The Blood
Even though one of them just arrived from traveling halfway around the world, he happened to be wearing the exact same outfit as his brother.
No paternity test is needed for these brothers.
It's Called Art
This pigeon pooped portrait of itself on a leaf. This just goes to show that art can be made out of anything.
It's not only free for interpretation but free to create as well, by anyone or anything.
The Key Is Timing
A married couple in China discovered they appeared in the same photograph as teenagers. You now can't say that fate isn't real.
The key is all in the right timing. Like they say it's both the right place and the right time.
A Love Story For The Books
If you're still not sold on the whole fate in love thing, here's another one.
"My cousin was in his future wife's family picture (the guy on the left), on a trip to Rio de Janeiro... 7 years before they met."
Defying All Odds
Flirt the dog found her doppelgänger on a random shopping trip.
The odds that another dog of the same breed, with the exact same condition, would be at this location at this time were incredibly small, and yet there they are!
The Circle Of Life
A nurse discovered that her colleague doctor was the same premature baby she cared for 28 years prior!
It's unclear how she came to the realization, but it's incredible that they found each other after all that time.
Count Your Blessings
Imagine if that car had parked just a few inches forward or back.
Someone was looking out for it that day and got the tree to fall right around so they wouldn't so much as scratch the car.
