Funny Faces Seen in Everyday Objects
Are you familiar with the term “pareidolia”?
It means seeing patterns in random objects. And if you pay attention and look for them, you really will start to see things in different things.
You’ll especially start to see a lot of FACES everywhere you look.
Here are 13 good examples of this phenomenon…
1. I see it!

You Can Now Download the Family Edition of ‘Cards Against Humanity’ for Free!
Cards Against Humanity is one of the most popular party games around – because who doesn’t like permission to be dirty and inappropriate while drinking with their friends?
Most of us, to this point, have avoided playing the game with our families, especially our kids, because, well, those are things we definitely don’t want to do with them in the room.
What if we could take the funny, gross parts of the game, though, and leave all of the innuendo and racism out?
It turns out that the makers of the game think we might like that very much, and if you’d like to try it with your family, now you can – and for free, no less.
“Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition” is a new fill-in-the-blank comedy game that’s just like Cards Against Humanity, but it’s written for kids and adults to play together,” said the company in a post. “We’ve been working on it for over a year in consultation with child development experts and psychologists. Our plan was to surprise everyone with this in the fall, but we know a lot of families need something to do right now.”
The family-friendly edition is available to download and print for free, and it’s labeled as good for players age 8 and up. There are words like “crap” and “boobies” included, plus around 600 poop jokes that will delight kids from 8 to 80.
All of the cards tested well in the rounds of development, with cards like “stuff my underwear with pancakes” and “putting my butt on stuff” winning the hearts of families everywhere.
The terms to download the game include promising to “stay at home unless absolutely necessary…even if our dumb butthole president tells us to do something stupid.”
So, there you go. Enjoy – Cards Against Humanity wants to do good, so let’s take it and run.
Family game night just got a lot more giggle-worthy.

A Husband Made a Video of Himself Dancing While His Wife Was in Labor
No one knows what to expect when they go to the hospital to have a baby for the first time. No one knows how they’ll react to the stress (and sometimes the boredom) that accompany bringing a child into the world.
Then, on the flip side, for parents who have been there more than a couple of times might be tempted to be too blase about the whole thing. Let their guard down, if you will.
One father-to-be, though, learned the hard way that your partner is not going to take kindly to you literally dancing through her pain.
#babyKareem#ourworld#family#love#babyboyKareem Antar is 27-years-old and just became a father for the first time. When his wife, Krystle, went into labor, he could hardly contain his excitement at the knowledge he would soon meet his baby boy.
So excited, in fact, that he decided to post a TikTok video of him dancing in the hospital.
In Krystle’s delivery room.
While she had contractions in the background.
#babyboy#staypositive#family#love“I was completely shocked that he had the audacity to make a TikTok during my contractions,” she told Buzzfeed. “But that’s typical Kareem, he is just a lovable and goofy guy.”
She said that though she was annoyed at the moment (and honestly, anything and everything can annoy a laboring woman, so no way was Kareem making it out unscathed no matter what), Krystle ended up feeling “happy that the baby gets to see who his dad really is. And that Kareem has one funny character and can make light of any given situation.”
The rest of Krystle’s labor and delivery went smoothly, and the couple and their healthy baby boy are now home (like the rest of us), embarking on the lovely transition to a family of three.
I hope they’re able to keep their good dispositions, forgiving attitudes, and senses of humor once they realize that little bundle isn’t sleeping through the night any time soon – or when he turns three and starts rolling his eyes like he’s fourteen.
It’s rough, but like the rest of us, I’m sure they’ll make it through.
Funny stuff!

These Prank Candles Change Scents as They Burn
April Fool’s Day might only roll around once a year, but a good prank is good any time of the year.
If you’re someone who loves a good prank, or know someone who deserves a bit of comeuppance, well, I personally think these candles that change from lovely to ludicrous scents halfway through are the perfect find.
The candles are courtesy of Prank Candles. As their wax melts, the aroma transitions from sweet to positively sulfuric.
The reason they work so well? They smell amazing (at first) so the person who receives the candle will want to burn it and burn it and burn it…until they’ll definitely be accusing their partner, kid, or dog of stinking up the space with horrible farts.
“Often – our customers will report that their victims will initially thank them because it’s ‘the best candle they’ve ever burned.’ Because of this, they’re even less likely to blame the candle when they think ‘WTF is that smell?’”
Diabolical! Yet brilliant, you have to admit.
The label and smell of the new candle resemble a lovely, upscale gift that would never betray you, and the scents – apple pie, fresh roses, balsam and cedar, and vanilla – are sure to tickle anyone’s fancy. At just $23 each, they’re around the same price as a normal fancy candle, but you’re sure to get far more enjoyment out of these once the text replies start coming in.
I don’t know about you, but I think I’m going to need a six-pack of these. Maybe I’ll send them to all of my college friends at once, then just sit back and wait.
It’s going to be epic.
